False May 21, 2011 Doomsday prophet Harold Camping "deserts" devastated followers, church offers solace

Doomsday prophet Harold Camping, who predicted that the End of the World would come on May 21, 2011, has gone missing ever since it became increasingly clear that his prediction is going to fail, even as local churches willingly stepped in to provide counseling and help to Camping's devastated followers.

Camping, the head of the Family Radio, had predicted that the selected number of people on earth, approximately 200 million, would Rapture to heaven on May 21, 2011 while those left behind would witness the destruction of the earth which would come about on October 21, 2011.

He has based his predictions on Bible verses, namely Genesis 7:4 ("Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth") and 2 Peter 3:8 (

I agree, they really need prayer. And they need something solid under their feets... solid leadership that will point them to the bible (honestly, did they not read "no one knows the hour"?) and to Jesus rather than man.

I'm glad to see that other churches are stepping up to the plate on this and reaching out to those who were mislead by Camping. Those who really belong to Jesus but were mislead will be hurting -- but there are many also who will be embittered by this also. The unbelievers are already having a field day with some of this stuff, but it does open doors to talk about Christ, too.

What really bothers me is some people may look at Camping's failed prediction and conclude that Christianity in it's entirety is false.

That was devils intent when he first whispered that prediction into Camping's ear.

Misinterpretation.

Sadly it wouldn't be the first time (nor it will be the last) a Teleevegalivist(sp) done or said something that puts Christians in a bad light. There is a reason why I don't watch Pat Robertson, Joel Olsteen, Benny Hinn, etc is becuase for one, they go a good job making us look bad.

1. One example: Right after Pat Robertson went off saying that "the Haitians deseve to be destroyed by the earthquake because of they were sinners" and this was right after the disaster no less, these anti-christian blogs and what not of course went bonkers.

I saw one post on one of them that said this: "I'm glad that christians have Pat Robertson and others on tv like him becuase it shows the worlld what christians really are a hate-filled (I will let you fill in the blank on that one) that should never of existed." Another one said this: "People wonder why Christianity is dying."

As someone who was raised Lutheran and has started getting back into the faith I have few things about this:

It would be very easy to dismiss these two and other hateful comments but, sadly they are right to an extent. People who are not familiar with the Christian faith see exactly the stuff Robertson says and would have to ask "is this typical of Christians?" Then when you tell these people about your faith, they simply think of you as some kook. You can say "Pat Robertson don't speak for us" but you might be asked "why do you people watch him and others like him if he doesn't for you?"

It is the same thing with the Tea Party Movement. I'm not part of it but my roommate is and pretty much the same deal with the same thing. Whenever he tells other students about his being a Tea Party member, he gets labled "racist" becasue of few higher ups in the movememnt were exposed using racial slurs.

Same with us with regards to consevation (but not as bad to be honest becase the media hasn't really done many stories on Eco-terrorists and whatnot).

2.

It also seems these type of preachers do the "Do as I say, not as I do." To me (and most others) I know we are all fallible but, let us not be telling people not to visit prositutes WHEN YOU ARE DOING IT YOURSELF. Just like if I see Jack Hanna driving down the road in a gas guzzling SUV with his wife wearing a fur coat of a endangered species. I will be asking questions his advocating conservation and yet he is doing the oppisite

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
