Remember back in May? Harold Camping, the enigmatic from Family Radio International, predicted the rapture? Then after nothing happened, he stated that the scriptures on which he was basing his nonsense could be interpreted in two ways–that the 21st of May was a “spiritual” rapture. The actual end, or physical rapture in which God would also destroy the earth, would come on October 21st–aka, Friday, Friday, Friday… Then again, old Harold Camping considers Friday, October 21, 2011, to be probable–not absolute. He just thinks the end is very near.
I just wanted to toss out a reminder. You know. In case you had anything immediate on your bucket list that you could get to in the next three days.
Poor Harold Camping. You know he had a stroke shortly after the non-rapturous May 21st? But he’s still at it. In recovery. Slow, slurred speech, and doing his thing.
Here’s the deal about Camping. He’s not a hateful man. He’s not Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church. Harold Camping is obsessed with decoding something that was never meant to be so complicated. That…and accepting a lot of donations from some very gullible people. Sure. I’m trying not to kick the guy too hard while he’s down, but to put it kindly, I’m not a fan.
I would say to a certain extent I agree with him–the end is definitely near. It is for him. Could be for me. You. Honestly, what do we get at tops? 80-90 years? So here’s my prediction. When we’re all still enjoying working, sleeping in and/or college football on Saturday, going to church, watching football, playing at the park and/or barbecuing on Sunday…going to work on Monday…old man Camping will still be going to rehab for his stroke and trying to crack the code.
But just in case he’s stroking for the bullseye, they better really turn up the urgency at Occupy Wall Street, in order to get this financial mess fixed, so it’s balanced when the world goes.
