IS MAY 21, 2011 REALLY JUDGMENT DAY?

You have probably seen lately a billboard or bumper sticker that proclaims, May 21, 2011 Judgment Day. What is it all about? Is it for real? Who puts up these advertisements? Well, they are for real, at least in the mind of a man named Harold Camping. Camping has been setting dates for the return of Christ and other end-time events for many years. And he has always been wrong. But, he is a slow learner and does not give up on doing what Jesus said was impossible. Jesus said that not even He Himself, but only the Father in heaven knew the dates of when events prophesied in the Bible would take place. So, we can write off the predictions of this man right away because he is doing that which the Scriptures tell us not to do.

Satan is delighted when things like this occur because the unbelieving world thinks that all those who believe end time Bible prophecies are literally true are a bunch of kooks. Camping is a "scholar" who takes the Word of God and twists it to his own interpretations. He teaches these untruths on his large Family Radio network thus deceiving many who are eagerly seeking spiritual truth. When Jesus taught about the last days, He invariably taught first of all that His followers should not be deceived. Those who are guided and taught by the Holy Spirit are given the spirit of discernment and know that those like Camping who come teaching falsely the truths of Scripture are the very deceivers whom Jesus warns us about.

I would encourage you to read a most excellent but rather lengthy article exposing both the faulty exposition and study methods of this man. It is by Dr. David Reagan, entitled "Harold Camping: The Madness of Date-Setting." Go to the bottom of their home page and click on the Featured Question box. Know the truth and don't be deceived!
