What one Christian Thinks...

I Almost Forgot...

That tomorrow is supposed to be the end of the world. That's right, Oct 21st is the rain date set by Harold Camping for the real end of the world (May 21st, it turns out, was just the beginning of God's absolutely final judgment). On one of the mail lists, someone quipped "pack light and makes sure all your appliances are turned off." But all joking aside, I wonder how Camping will handle yet another failed prediction? If you are inclined to do so, please pray for all the various individuals who might be affected, that their faith would not be in a man, but in the Lord, and that they would diligently search the Scriptures to see what they really teach about such things.

Apparently, from what I have read, Camping recently used the "P" word ("probably") about his now obviously failed prophecy, that the end was still very near, and that the world would end quietly and not in the spectacular fashion of a movie end-of-the-world (think "2012").

We'll see what he says, but his track record indicates that he'll come up with something to avoid admitting his error.
