Additional Details Best Answer - Chosen by Asker It's not going to end this Saturday. The junk Harold Camping is spewing is the prediction that the rapture will occur this Saturday. While the Bible says he's wrong (same with anyone who picks a date), it's important to understand that the rapture is not the same thing as the end of the world. According to the Bible, there is first a 7 year "Great Tribulation" (which we aren't in yet because it starts with 3 1/2 years of world peace before all hell breaks loose) followed by a 1000 year reign of Christ on this earth before the "Great White Throne Judgment" and then the heaven and earth as we know them are destroyed and God creates a new heaven and new earth for those that accepted Christ to enjoy eternally while those that rejected Christ are cast into the eternal lake of fire. So not only is Camping doing a disservice to all Christendom, and the whole world actually, he's also doing a complete disservice to Bible theology by making any such claims. He's done it more than once before and been wrong each time (obviously)...he should be ignored and not aligned with the whole of Christendom as he speaks against the Bible. (You would have to google him for confirmation, but I believe Harold Camping is Baptist...of course, his own kind though!) Other Answers (8) Here are the facts.
