Many left their home, children and jobs for several months to spread the message that May 21, 2011 would be the day of the rapture.
But now it’s Monday morning May 23, 2011, those projected earthquakes that the doomsdayers said would ruin the earth on Saturday at 6 p.m. in each of the world’s time zones never came. “Of course there’s disappointment.
There’s no getting around that,” said Tom Evans, who’d left his northern California home to spend the weekend with family and friends. “When you as a person believe that God is coming back, and you believe the evidence is very clear that he’s coming back, that is something every child of God longs for.
In a moment, we’d be changed and spend eternity with God. I’m not ashamed of that at all. I’m not ashamed of wanting and hoping for it.” But Evans did reveal some regret. “For us to say it was absolute, I think that’s where we went wrong.
Harold Camping
That’s where we strayed, and that I would gladly apologize for,” he said. “Whether I personally have done something dishonorable, I’m still mulling it over. I was trying to be faithful.” Harold Camping, the mastermind behind the doomsday prediction, has refused to comment on why he believes the rapture has not come to pass on May 21.
His faithful believers still follow Camping, who is a degreed engineer and not a pastor by the way, they are now analyzing what happened and what could possibly happen next.
