From an interview with Harold Camping in the Atlantic:
"Is that Eastern Standard or Pacific Standard Time?
Neither, says Camping, whom I interviewed recently for my online news show TYT Now. The Rapture is at 6 p.m. on May 21, 2011, where ever it's 6 p.m. first, with the "fantastically big" world-ending event taking place on a time zone by time zone basis.
That means we can expect the Rapture to start when it hits 6 p.m. at the International Dateline at 180 Longitude -- roughly the between Pago Pago, American Samoa, and Nuku'alofa, Tonga. We'll know it's Judgment Day because there will be an earthquake of previously unprecedented magnitude, Camping predicts.
So, according to these calculations, the Rapture will actually begin like a rolling brown out across the globe at 11 p.m. PST on Friday, May 20th. "Everyone will be weeping and wailing because they'll know in a few hours it'll come to their city," said Camping.
This also means that, if Camping is right, his signs littering California and in his current hometown of Oakland -- not to mention thousands of atheists throwing Rapture parties -- have the date wrong. It's Friday, Friday...gotta get down on Friday."
Just so you know.....

>if Camping is right
haha...he's so far out in left field he should have joined the Red Sox years ago.
Now, I don't know about the red sox.... they may have better information.
Say, what is Harold gonna preach on in one week?

It may be something along the line of what Jesus warned of:
“So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it."

The calendar went from 1 B.C. to 1 A.D., so his calculations are off by one year, and it will actually happen 5/21/2012. 😉
Is this computed on the Gregorian Calendar or on Julian Days?
Perhaps the Mayan calendar?
Oh, I'm sure it's calculated using "God's Calendar", which will probably leave plenty of room for backtracking... 😉
As I noted in an earlier post, when no one leaves perhaps what it will mean is that no one was 'qualified' to go. And will anyone really be surprised?

Interresting mix.
Did that include a frame of John Lennon at about 2:49?
Howard places himself above the Son???
Mt 24:36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left."
The angels don't know, the Son of God is not even privy to the information, only God himself. Well, apparently God and Howard. Jesus may be seated at the Father's right hand, but apparently Howard envisions himself sitting on the Father's right shoulder.
I believe he led his followers through this back in 1994. Maybe he'll pull out the sermon he gave on the Sunday following that this Sunday.
I pity all those gullible people who are putting their faith in one misguided man who is teaching contrary to the Book he claims to be an expert on and believe in. Come Sunday, many of them will think that God let them down, when really what let them down is their own willing naivety and willingness to accept misguided teaching without question and without checking the source.
You're right, magic
No one is qualified.

No, that was Ray Manzarek.
He is an engineer and so you would assume he's fairly good at math. Now he says this event will take place 7,000 years after the Great Flood and he's one of those that says the earth is no more than 6,000 years old. Either the Great Flood happened 1,000 years before the earth was created (????) OR his computations are off by a minimum of 1,000 years. Go ahead and buy that 24 pack of beer for this weekend. You have plenty of time to finish it off.
I might still stay up and watch the 11 O'clock news from Samoa. Then if something big happens there, I'll break out the 24-pack.
