These verses state that certain end time prophecies will not be understood until the time comes for them to be fulfilled. )( Book Book The main glue that holds Camping’s book together is Camping’s interpretation of John 21:1-14 displays his use of numerology. Further, Jesus promised that the gates of Hades would never be able to prevail against the Church (Matthew 16:18).Further evidence of his drift toward the cults is to be found in recent reports that he is now teaching that there is no such thing as a literal Hell.What has happened to Harold Camping is what always happens when a person starts playing with the Word of God, arguing that it does not mean what it says, but, rather, it means what that person wants it to mean.In conclusion, there is only one thing I know for certain about the date of May 21, 2011, and that is that Jesus will not return on that day.
However, he does present an interesting case for this possiblity. Audience level: In October 2011, he retired from active broadcasting following a stroke, but still maintained a role at Family Radio until his death. One of the most important is, “How did he arrive at the date of May 21, 1988 as the end of the Church Age?” The answer is enthralling:Thus, the Church Age ended and the Tribulation began on May 21, 1988. In 1992, the evangelist published a book called 1994…
So, what’s the significance of that equation? 1 Now, in his latest book, Time Has An End, he has set a new “absolute” date of May 21, 2011. A website has been created at It is all reminiscent of a Vermont farmer by the name of William Miller who developed a theory in the 1820’s, based on Daniel 8:14, that Jesus would return to the earth on March 21, 1844.When Miller’s date came and passed without any sign of the Lord’s return, he proceeded to set a new date for October 22, 1844. )
Book Oktober 2011 für Aufregung sorgte.
Obviously, he was wrong but that misses the point. He then points out that the time span from 4990 BC to 2011 is exactly 7,000 years.Even if this were true, what would it prove? So, the equation means, “God’s purpose (3) is to take people to Heaven (17).” And the number 3 is doubled to signify that God really means what He says!
This conclusion prompted him to issue a call for all Bible-believing Christians to leave their churches. Which is right, Genesis or Luke? Harold Camping teaches that the church age ended in 1994! Book But if he needs it to be symbolic, then so be it, regardless of the context. Would it not be hermeneutically better to go to Matthew 24 where Jesus clearly teaches about the end of the age instead of trying to mystically find hidden secrets behind clear narrative prose?Camping’s numerology has amazingly pinpointed the exact date of the creation of man to 11,013 B.C.

Once again, we find allegorical interpretation running amok!All date-setters have to deal with Matthew 24:36 where Jesus, speaking of His return, said, Camping dismisses this statement as being no longer true.
However, it is widely recognized by biblical scholars that this is not the case.
We were not made to be isolated or alone. Once again, you had better sit down.
Harold Camping teaches that the Holy Spirit is NO LONGER working in the church!
