The story is getting hotter day by day and The people behind this date, a broadcast ministry known as Family Radio located in Oakland, California, has plastered billboards across the nation with the warning “Judgment Day, May 21, The Bible Guarantees It!” Similar kind of news was there in 2004 Newsweek poll revealed that 55 percent of Americans believe in the Rapture, the snatching away of all Christians prior to the end of the world and the return of Jesus Christ.But nothing happened on that day …
“The Bible has given us absolute proof that the year 2011 is the end of the world during the Day of Judgment, which will come on the last day of the Day of Judgment,” states Family Radio’s website
Family Radio founder Harold Camping’s widely publicized prediction that Jesus will rapture his church on Saturday, May 21 is foolish and irresponsible, said local clergy on Tuesday, but it serves as a reminder that we should live as if this day could be our last, they said.
“I’ve already received an email today, as fate would have it, saying ‘What do I do about that? Should I be frightened about that?” said David Cotton, parish associate at First Presbyterian Church of Manasquan and manager of Pastoral Care at Jersey Shore University Medical Center.
Is the world really coming to an end on May 21, 2011 — this Saturday?
One Staten Island pastor has reached out to the Advance to offer an emphatic “no.”And in the process he slammed the California radio host promoting the notion that the apocalypse is upon us as “someone who should not be taken seriously.”
The Restored Church of God press release;
The Restored Church of God even responded with a press release discrediting Camping and his “Judgment Day” prediction. The press release confirms that there will be no end of the world:
“You can know with absolute certainty “the end of the world” will not arrive this year! Most who write about the Bible do not realize this Book interprets itself. The Author of this greatest of books would not leave the most crucial questions, those involving all humanity, subject to human interpretation.”
