Despite Harold Camping’s insistence that the world would come to an end on Oct. 21, it

Harold Camping

has been business as usual for his Family Radio network, with employees working, programming remaining unchanged and donations still being requested.

The lack of changes comes as a surprise since the president and founder of the radio network told the world’s residents that they would be quietly raptured to heaven or annihilated, depending on their standing with God, on Friday. Camping’s Oct. 21 prediction came just five months after his second wrong end of the world prediction, which the radio evangelist had claimed was the start of a “spiritual” judgment, a prelude to the “physical” judgment he predicted would come, now three days overdue.

An unidentified host on Family Radio mentioned the lack of an apocalypse the day after Camping’s failed doomsday date, telling listeners on Oct. 22 who might have been saddened at not having been raptured, not to lose hope.

“I know that many of us are deeply disappointed that Christ did not come. And I said something like this back in May,” the host said, as previously reported by The Christian Post. “But please try to keep in mind that all of us who are believers, all of us who are Christians, are to live in such a way that we are to pray with the apostle John: ‘Come quickly Lord Jesus.’ ”

The radio network also released a statement to address what believers should do since the world has been going on as usual.

“Thy command is still to occupy until he comes,” Family Radio reminded supporters. “We are still to go teach and tell. We are to share his word by reading it, teaching it, and singing it. We still have a unique tool and that tool is radio on which we can bring comfort and encouragement. Every day we, who are Christians, live in attention. We are to live so that we are ready for the return of Christ, and even pray for it. But we also rejoice in every new day, that we’ve been given another day to occupy and serve our Lord.”

Family Radio, which was reported to have collected approximately $100 million in donations leading up to the May 21 “judgment day” and spent most of it on doomsday warning advertising, has asked listeners to keep up their financial support while getting ready for the end of the world, whenever that will be.

Well, May 21 came and went.  For whatever reasons or miscalculations, the

Harold Camping

world did not end.  But not so strangely, “prophet” Harold Camping is nowhere to be found.

Of course he isn’t. Full Story HERE.

With every second ticking by, the chances of Family Radio President Harold Camping being denounced as a false prophet are becoming stronger and his followers are visibly devastated and their faith shaken.

Camping had prophesied that the End of the World would come on May 21, 2011 at 6 p.m. Basing his prediction on Bible verses such as Genesis 7:4 (“Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth”) and 2 Peter 3:8 (“With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day”), he said 200 million people will witness Rapture while the remaining will be left behind to witness the destruction of the earth which will be complete by October 21, 2011.

The destruction would come about through a series of natural disasters, including violent earthquakes which would make the Japan’s earthquake look like “a Sunday school picnic in comparison”.

There were a few earthquakes in different parts of the world on Saturday, but none of the magnitude that Camping had predicted. While Japan’s earthquake was registered at 9.0 magnitude, none of the earthquakes on Saturday were able to cross the magnitude of 5.2.

As slowly it became clear that Camping’s prediction was once again going horribly wrong (he had previously predicted that the World will end on September 1994, but it was “business as usual”), he managed to give the media the slip and hasn’t been spotted since last night.
