Harold Camping reportedly resigns, After two failed rapture prophecies in five months, it’s probably best that 90-year-old Harold Camping has given up predicting the end of the world.
The California radio preacher made a name for himself and Family Radio by claiming the world would end on May 21 - then again on October 21. harold camping resigns, Now he has decided to resign, apologising for leading his followers astray and admitting that he finds the whole thing rather ‘embarrassing’.
He was ridiculed when he claimed humanity would be wiped out with a series of earthquakes before months of torment for those left behind. harold camping, harold camping president of family,
When his predictions failed on May 21 he claimed it was only a spiritual judgement - and the actual end of the world would be October 21.
Mr Camping also suffered a stroke after the May 21 prediction failed. He then resigned from Family Radio after the October 21 failure.
‘We're living in a day when one problem follows another,’ Mr Camping said on the Family Radio website. ‘Why didn't Christ return on October 21?
‘It seems embarrassing for Family Radio. But God was in charge of everything. We came to that conclusion after quite careful study of the Bible.
‘He allowed everything to happen the way it did without correction. He could have stopped everything if He had wanted to.’
Mr Camping added that he was wrong to say earlier this year that people who did not believe May 21 was the rapture date were not saved by God.
‘I should not have said that and I apologise for that,’ he said, adding that people should not feel they have been ‘abandoned by God’.
Documentary maker Brandon Tauszik spoke with Mr Camping last month and said he was very upset about his May 21 prediction failing.
Many of his followers donated their possessions and gave away their life savings ahead of the May 21 date - and were left with nothing.
Mr Camping's daughter Susan Espinoza said after the October 21 failure that members of Family Radio had been told not to talk to the media.
Last month’s prophecy was low-profile - compared to the 5,000 billboards posted around the U.S. that declared the end was nigh in May.
Mr Camping also prophesied the apocalypse would come in 1994, but said later that didn't happen because of a mathematical error.
