Anyone who is interested can get the calculations of the Reverend Harold Camping (yes, that is his name: he is Camping) straight from the horse's, um, mouth right here. Here are some extracts. (CAUTION: INTENSE STUPIDITY FOLLOWS. Paying attention to it may cause your brain to burst into flame!) First, here is the scheme of history:
Some of his calculations:
Thanks for posting, Calboner. I always find it interesting when Christian preachers employ essentially numerology to resolve what is meant by certain passages in the Bible. Especially since numerology is defined in the Free Dictionary as:
Perhaps this quote from Isiah 47:10-14 would be of interest to Rev. Camping:nu·mer·ol·o·gy -n. The study of the occult meanings of numbers and their supposed influence on human life.
God pretty much rebukes Israel for thinking they can outguess Him. Even the New Testament (Galatians 5:20-21 and Acts 13:9-11) is pretty explicit about those that practice the deception of witchcraft and sorcery." For you have trusted in your wickedness Therefore evil shall come upon you trouble shall fall upon you Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, And the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from what shall come upon you. Behold, they shall be as stubble, The fire shall burn them; They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame "
And then, there's the one quote -- again from the Bible -- that pretty much guarantees that Rev. Camping is full of er... speculation and false knowledge (that is, if you subscribe to literalism -- which I think most of these apocalyptic Christians do). From Matthew 24:36:
So, unless Rev. Camping is saying HE is God..."But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only."
