Has the Rapture been canceled?

By Michael Smith (Veshengro)

Harold Camping best goes as his name suggests...

Once again, the world failed to end, despite a high-profile prediction from a radio preacher in California.

On Friday, October 21, 2011 was, according to the founder of Family Radio, Harold Camping, the End of the World, postponed from six months ago, was, definitely, going to occur. It would appear, however, as if, once again, nothing happened.

The deadline came and went … once again, just like the one six months ago, and nothing happened. On Camping’s Family Radio website, the event … or non-event, as is the case, is not even acknowledged. No statement has been forthcoming from the group – despite the fact that a small earthquake, 4.3 on the Richter Scale, occurred in nearby San Francisco. There was no reported damage – a far cry from the total destruction of the universe Camping had been forecasting, twice by now, and Mr. Camping is not issuing any statements.

I presume he will be coming up with a new date shortly, claiming again that G-d has decided to walk the Earth a little longer to gather his sheep, as he claimed, Camping, not G-d, the last time round.

So far there have been no reports of millions of the faithful being caught up in the Rapture, to meet the returning King of Kings in the air, and no one has, so it seems, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse galloping through the streets either.

Harold Camping is just simply wrong, again. And that’s not a big surprise, for sure. Anyone who still even gives such a “prophet” any credence has only got him- or herself to blame.

The Rapture is not even mentioned in the Scriptures but is something made us from some snippets of text here and there of the Bible.

Jesus wept! And yes, that is in the Bible and He probably is right now over all the gullible people who think that Camping and others can interpret the signs.

The message was to be vigilant as no one knows the time and the hour, and that includes Camping and neither is there to be any Rapture though there might be some ruptures happening as regards to Mr. Camping and it is, I would suggest, high time that some of his followers went to court and sued him.
