Christ to Return in May of Next Year

So Harold Camping is at it again. Jesus is to return on May 21, 2011. Here is how he calculated the date (I have also provided a video demonstration below). As Kim Riddlebarger commented "You thought dispensationalism was complicated." Not as complicated as this. Well, we can all now be sure of a date that Jesus won't return.

The method to Camping's madness:

The number 5, Camping concluded, equals "atonement." Ten is "completeness." Seventeen means "heaven." Camping patiently explained how he reached his conclusion for May 21, 2011.

"Christ hung on the cross April 1, 33 A.D.," he began. "Now go to April 1 of 2011 A.D., and that's 1,978 years."

Camping then multiplied 1,978 by 365.2422 days - the number of days in each solar year, not to be confused with a calendar year.

Next, Camping noted that April 1 to May 21 encompasses 51 days. Add 51 to the sum of previous multiplication total, and it equals 722,500.

Camping realized that (5 x 10 x 17) x (5 x 10 x 17) = 722,500.

Or put into words: (Atonement x Completeness x Heaven), squared.

"Five times 10 times 17 is telling you a story," Camping said. "It's the story from the time Christ made payment for your sins until you're completely saved.

"I tell ya, I just about fell off my chair when I realized that," Camping said.



Btw, I've heard that his last prediction was 1994. Word has it that didn't turn out so well.

Don't be jealous, I'm sure there is a calculation for each of our birthdays as well.
