If you’re a Christian, here’s to enjoying your last week on Earth…make it a good one. \u00a0Well, that’s at least according to Harold Camping of Family Radio (not to be confused with Family Life<\/em> Radio). \u00a0Camping believes with all certainty that Christ is coming back this Saturday, May 21. \u00a0According to Camping, Christ is coming on the 21st but isn’t actually leaving<\/em> again until the 22nd. I hear He’s staying at the Best Western before returning to heaven. \u00a0Why not? If we’re going to listen to the kind of absurdities from Camping, anything is possible.<\/p>\n So, in spite of Christ’s own teachings that no one can know of His return (Matthew 24:36-37<\/a>), Camping gets it right. \u00a0He’s so certain, he made the following statement:<\/p>\n God has given so<\/em> much information in the Bible about this, and so many proofs, and so many signs, that we know it is absolutely<\/em> going to happen without any question at all. There\u2019s nothing in the Bible that God has ever prophesied \u2014 there\u2019s many things that he prophesied would happen and they always have happened \u2014 but there\u2019s nothing<\/em> in the Bible that holds a candle to the amount of information to this tremendous truth of the end of the world. I would be absolutely in rebellion against God if I thought anything other than it is absolutely going to happen without any questio<\/em>n.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Well, there you have it. I hope you have a great week. \u00a0Fortunately for us, school’s almost out, so the kids won’t miss much. \u00a0<\/p>\n For a more comprehensive and less sarcastic treatment of this absurdity, check out Al Mohler’s take<\/a> on it.<\/p>\n\n
