Harold Camping says the rapture will happen on May 21
Harold Camping is the self-taught “biblical scholar” and radio mogul who says the Rapture is happening on Saturday, May 21, at exactly 6 p.m. local time, whatever your local time is. He’s been delivering this prediction for several years, a recalibration from his earlier prediction that the Rapture would happen in 1994.

If you learned about Harold Camping’s May 21 rapture prediction from an ad on a subway car or bus shelter in NYC, the ad was probably funded by Robert Fitzpatrick, a 60-year-old, retired transit worker from Staten Island who invested his entire life savings of $140,000 into the campaign.

“I’m trying to warn people about what’s coming,” Fitzpatrick told the New York Daily News. “People who have an understanding [of end times] have an obligation to warn everyone.”

Fitzpatrick isn’t the only person to empty his bank account to warn others based on Camping’s prediction.

NPR recently reported that one of Camping’s followers, 27-year-old Adrienne Martinez, and her husband, Joel, quit their jobs and moved to a rented home in Orlando where they passed out tracts. The couple told the radio program that they are spending the last of their savings because they did not see a need to hold on to one more dollar.

“We budgeted everything so that, on May 21, we won’t have anything left,” said Adrienne.

Hernandez said many of his friends are also letting go their earthly possessions in time for May 21.

Why the rapture wont happen on May 21

What does the Bible say about when the Rapture will happen? Here are some passages from the Bible that give us hints.

Matthew 24:36 says, “Of that day and hour no one knows, no, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.”

No one, not even the angels of heaven, so no Harold Camping!

Luke 21:8 says, “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them”

Camping is a false prophet the bible warns us about.

Matthew 24:44 says, “Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

Again the bible says an hour you do not expect, NOT an hour plastered all over billboards.

Luke 12:37 says, “Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching.”

This tells us to always be ready, but to also live our lives.

The Bible clearly tells us that no one will know the hour or the day of the rapture.  Mr Camping is nothing more than a scam artist and in no way represents the majority of true christians.  It is very sad that so many people have given their life savings to promote this false teaching and will be left with nothing on May 22nd.  This is satan at work for sure.  Please do not be deceived.  Do  not send this man money, do not quit your jobs, do not max out your credit cards.   The rapture is coming, just not May 21.

‘Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ Isaiah 41:10
