The US evangelical Christian broadcaster predicting that Judgment Day will come on at 6 pm on Saturday said he expects to stay close to a TV or radio to monitor the unfolding apocalypse. Harold Camping,89,previously made a failed prediction that Jesus Christ would return to Earth in 1994.
The head of the Christian radio network Family Stations Inc said that he is sure an earthquake will shake the Earth on May 21 in what he called a day of Rapture sweeping true believers to heaven and leaving others behind to be engulfed in the worlds destruction over a few months. We know without any shadow of a doubt it is going to happen, Camping told Reuters.
His Family Radio has 66 US stations and broadcasts in more than 30 languages through international affiliates. His supporters have posted about 2,200 billboards around the US about the coming apocalypse,and dozens of followers have driven across the country to spread the news.
Camping,a civil engineer,plans to spend May 21 with his wife in Alameda,northern California,and watch doomsday unfold. Ill probably try to be very near a TV or a radio or something, he said. Ill be interested in whats happening on the other side of the world as this begins.
Like his last prediction,Campings doomsday date is based on his reading of the Bible and a timeline dating back to ancient events including the Biblical flood survived by Noah.
