It’s May 21, and so far there is no sign of Judgment Day.

Well, it is May 21, the day that the rapture is supposed to take place. At least according to Harold Camping. And, not surprisingly as I opened my door this morning I found the sun shining and the birds singing. Frankly, it seems to be a very nice morning so far.

When turning on the news I see no reports of any earthquake as described by Harold Camping nor do I see any reports of any missing people, which one might expect when it comes to the rapture.

I wonder if this is supposed to take place later on in the afternoon or at night when I’m going to bed. But according to Harold Camping, those of us who are most likely where probably never going to see the sunrise. But here I am. The sun has risen and I still remain on earth. And I would suspect I’m here with the vast majority of those of us who are saved.

I do not think it would be out of line to make a prophecy of my own and predict that I will safely make it to my bed, fall asleep and wake up tomorrow in my bed, never hearing or seeing any reports of anything that we would expect if Harold Camping was right. I think my prophecy has a little bit better chance of being fulfilled, then Harold Camping prophecy. After all, he already predicted this in the past. And guess what? We Are still here.

So I think the outcome will be the same. And Harold Camping will just come out with some kind of excuse. Similar to last time, if not the same. Saying that he just miscalculated. And go on with his life. While many other people will have their lives severely affected by his prophecy for judgment day. From divorces/splitting the family up, quitting their jobs, selling their worldly possessions, suicide and so on. And I wouldn’t doubt that Harold Camping will probably be better off financially from all the donations that will have been sent to him and his organization from the people who believe the end of the world was coming.

So what Harold Camping has done will have a very negative impact. But what I don’t know is if Harold Camping knowingly did this for the purpose of having this negative impact on Christians/Christianity, to make a buck, or even if he genuinely thought he was doing good. Thinking that if he makes a doomsday prediction he will get a lot of people who will think “well, just in case I will become a Christian.” But of course these kind of people are not saved (But they do make donations), because they do not genuinely believe, they just believe just in case the end of the world is coming. But of course after doomsday comes and goes, so do these people.

Sadly, after this day has come and gone. Many of his followers will buy whatever excuse he gives them for why Judgment Day did not come. At come. And so they will continue following this false prophets blindly.
