Controversial preacher Harold Camping dies at 92

OAKLAND, Calif. - The radio preacher who predicted "Judgment Day" would come in May 2011 has died in northern California.

A statement released late Monday by his Family Radio network says Harold Camping "passed on to glory" at 5:30 p.m. PT Sunday. He was 92. The statement revealed Camping had a fall at his home November 30, but he was in weak health due to a stroke since 2011.

Camping gained a national following through the Family Radio network of stations he helped found in 1959. He conducted daily on-air Bible studies and hosted a nightly "Open Forum" call-in show about Bible questions. The network includes a station in Emporia.

But Camping became an international laughingstock when he warned "Judgment Day" would occur May 21, 2011 with the second coming of Jesus Christ. He went on to say the world would end October 21, 2011.

Camping admitted to reporters he was "flabbergasted" when his prediction proved false. Donations to his ministry dropped noticeably after that, and Family Radio was forced to sell several of its most powerful FM stations to stay afloat financially.

The Family Radio statement notes Camping is survived by a wife of 71 years.

The fear his prediction created in the minds of people was enormous. Could remember some people even quit their work in anticipation of the 'supposed' return of Jesus, remember the kakaaki presenter, Oloyede Oworu caught the fear/fever too that he was saying that the program would not hold again if the world ended the next day.
And now, he's gone. I wonder what he will tell God about his failed prediction or argue that God did not honour his prediction.
This should always serve as a point to bring rememberance the words of Jesus.
"However, no one knows the day or hour when
these things will happen, not even the angels in
heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows. Mark 13:32
RIP

This is wat happens wen ppl exalt d wrds of one mog over d wrd of God in d bible. They set themselves up for deception and delusion.
A 6 yr old cud hav called of his cheap bluff by pointg him to d wrd but ppl are moronic they like being decieved.

Most people actually think Harold Camping wrongly predicted the date of the rapture when in actual fact, he was right. The only reason it didn't happen is that the day before, [url=edition.cnn.com/2011/US/05/20/florida.wrestler.dead/]“Macho Man" Randy Savage[/url] gave his life, went up to heaven, and delivered a flying elbow-drop to Jesus's forehead; knocking him out cold, preventing the rapture and saving us all.

We all owe him a huge dept of gratitude. RIP Macho.
