The first guess by 89-year-old Harold Camping, who initially predicted the world would end in 1994, was incorrect. Let’s hope his prognostications are not improving.
More billboards are on the way however, warning New Jersey’s drivers that Judgment Day is fast approaching on May 21, 2011.
According to NJ.com, many believers in the 21st date say the Bible contains unquestionable clues. God tells Noah the world will end in seven days; the Bible also equates a day to 1,000 years. The date of the flood has been set at 4990 B.C., so adding 7,000 years plus one for the missing year "0" produces the year 2011. Translating a Biblical reference to a month and date, from the Hebrew calendar to the Gregorian, results in May 21.
"It’s no other date. It’s only that date," says Michael Garcia, special projects coordinator at Camping’s Family Radio enterprise.
NJ. com reports that Vineland resident Edwin Ramos has wrapped his RV in shrink wrap that predicts the world will end May 21, 2011, and has been driving his RV up and down the East Coast in an effort to spread the message.
He has also placed his message on six billboards around Cumberland County.
Ramos said an organization called We Can Know has put up more than 1,000 billboards across the country proclaiming the same message. He is on an email list at ebiblefellowship.com comprising 900 other members who plan for their meetings through the forum.
More billboards will be funded by about 30 New Jersey believers who want to save their neighbors, says Bob James, a Morristown electrical engineer who organized the effort. The three dozen billboards currently visible in New Jersey are courtesy of Family Radio, a Christian broadcasting network led by Camping operating out of Oakland.
According to the LA Daily News, Camping's followers say that day - a Saturday - will bring a universal earthquake and the start of the Rapture, when Jesus returns to Earth and about 200 million "saved" Christians rise to heaven.
And Oct. 21 will mark the final, fiery destruction of the planet and the universe.
But norwichbulletin.com points out that in I Corinthians 15:52, the Apostle Paul states that Judgment Day will come, “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.” Layman’s translation: It’s going to come quickly, not after five months notice from billboards in New Jersey.
