Harold Camping and May 21, 2011

Hi, I'm Matt Slick from CARM. There's been a lot of talk lately about Harold Camping's prediction that Saturday May 21st 2011 will be the day that the rapture occurs. Now, let me just tell you don't worry about it.

It's not gonna happen. I'm not making a prediction. It's not gonna happen. Harold Camping has made a false prophecy before saying 1994 that Jesus would return. He's stated that the Holy Spirit is no longer involved in churches.

Harold Camping, False Prophecy, and the May 21 Rapture Prediction

All the churches are apostate and all our churches are false. Look just don't don't give him any credence. Don't worry about it. All right, just just relax. It's not gonna happen. What I want to do is just read some scriptures that Jesus has said about no one knowing the day nor the hour when Christ Returns, I'll check this out.

This is Matthew 25 verses 1 through 13 then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and Five of them were foolish and five were prudent for when the foolish took their lamps.

They took no oil with them, but the prudent took oil and flasks along with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom was delaying they all got drowsy and began to sleep. But at midnight there was a shout behold the bridegroom come out to meet him.

Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps and the foolish said to the prudent Give us some of your oil for our lamps are going out. But the prudent answered saying no there will not be enough for us and you to go instead of the elders and buy some for Yourselves and while they were going away to make the purchase the bridegroom came and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast and the door was shut and Later, the other virgins also came saying Lord Lord open up for us.

And he answered and said truly I say to you do not know you be on the alert then for you do not know the day nor the hour. Now in Mark 7 13 verses 30 through 32 Jesus says truly I say to you this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But of that day or hour no one knows not even the angels in heaven nor the Son with the Father alone and finally Luke 1246 says this the master that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour He does not know and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

No One Knows the Day or Hour

So here's the thing look a lot of people have made predictions the Mormons. Jehovah's Witnesses made various predictions. Christians are starting to do that as well. Don't listen to them. No one knows we can know the times we can know the seasons, but that day we're not gonna know.

Don't worry about it folks. Just relax go to church on Sunday and by God's grace, you know, things will be going fine. Don't worry about it. We'll see you. Thanks. Bye.
