#A THIEF IN THE NIGHT SERIES#
When I heard him describing his theory on the radio in his Biblical History of Time series some years ago, he acknowledged that we could not determine the “day or the hour” of the end of time, but said that we are permitted to determine the “year and the month” of the end, which I thought was legalistic and implausible, but sufficiently humble to keep me tuned in. The shame is that Harold Camping was reasonable and humble at one point in his career. “With no sign of Judgment Day arriving as he had forecast, the 89-year-old California evangelical broadcaster and former civil engineer behind the pronouncement seemed to have gone silent on Saturday.” Update: Saturday, May 21, 2011: 8:45 PM Central Standard Time: In the very unlikely event that tomorrow will see the end of the world, I do hope the New York Times does have the opportunity to get out one last edition with this oft-predicted headline: WORLD ENDS: WOMEN AND MINORITIES HARDEST HIT. Since the time of Christ there have been constant confident predictions naming the date of the end of the world and the Second Coming, all in direct contradiction to Christ’s own words that He will come “like a thief in the night” and that no man will know the hour of His coming. (No, I will not link to them or mention their name.) The end will come around 6:00 PM according to these loons which I assume is Pacific Standard Time since these mopes are based, where else?, in California.
A crazed group is seeking cheap publicity by claiming that the world will end tomorrow.
