Harold Camping's Latest Doomsday Prediction: World To End On October 21
Camping previously predicted the world would end as a series of earthquakes beginning at 6 p.m. on May 21, according to the Examiner.
Camping is now saying that the rapture did occur, as the “spiritual” end of the world, but no one noticed, the Business Insider reports.
Still, Camping has adjusted his end of the world date to October 21 and says it will really be the end, not a period of time in which people suffer, as most doomsayers say will occur when the world ends. Camping does, however, say that God will not save those who are skeptical, according to the Business Insider.
"I really am beginning to think as I restudied these matters that there's going to be no big display of any kind," Camping, said in an audio message on his website. "The end is going to come very, very quietly, probably within the next month. It will happen, that is, by Oct. 21."
In addition to May 21 and October 21, 2011, Camping also predicted the end of the world to be in 1994 and 1988.
Camping is 90 years old and suffered a stroke in June.
Before Camping’s May 21 end of the world prediction, many of his followers sold their possessions and emptied their bank accounts, according to the International Business Times. On May 22, when the world was still in tact, Camping did not help his followers, many who were left destitute.
