It is almost impossible to ignore the buzz, craziness, trends and chatters being generated by phrases such as “May 21,” or “end of the world,”"judgement day," or “Harold Camping” on the Internet.
Last night, I was at a lounge, located at 653 E. 75th Street, in Chicago and walked by some ladies drinking their Mojitos while discussing which one of them would be the first to be taken to Heaven if Christ was to arrived at that moment.
According to Harold Egbert Camping and his followers, today, May 21, is the end of their world. Camping is an 89-year-old, a civil engineer who became a Biblical scholar, a so-called Christian radio broadcaster and the president of Family Radio. Camping’s California-based religious broadcasting network spans more than 150 outlets as well as affiliates of websites.
Camping states, on May 21st, Judgment Day and the rapture will begin and the taking up into heaven of God’s chosen few will occur at the end of the 23-year great tribulation. He also added that on October 21st, the world will be destroyed by fire – which is 7000 years from the flood; and 13,023 years from the creation.
Even Christian radio network has gone so far as to "guarantee" that the rapture will happen. Family Radio's website is blunt in its prediction of Judgment Day and the rolling earthquake that will mark the beginning of the end, taking true believers to heaven while others are left to be consumed in the total destruction of Earth by Oct. 21. "The Bible guarantees it!" the website proclaims, under a passage from the book of Ezekiel, which says "blow the trumpet … warn the people."
To a degree, Camping’s Doomsday prophecy prediction is taking place this minute. But, it is taking place on the Internet. As a matter of fact, the Doomsday fiasco is creating a Tsunami of earthquakes traffic on the Internet with an accelerated increase in searches by apparent so-called Christians for keywords such as “May 21,” “end of the world” and “Harold Camping”. Obviously, it is working and that’s why you are here reading this post!
O Ye of Little Faith
The phrase “O ye of little faith” was used several times in the Good Book and it was basically used as rebuke leveled by Christ at his Disciples, when seeming to doubt his divinity. The phrase is also more widely used to describe any Christian doubter, hence, Camping and his followers.
Matthew 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Matthew8:26 And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm
Matthew16:8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
Luke12:28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
No Man Knows the Hour
According to American King James Version of the Bible:
Matthew24:26 But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
