The rapture is supposed to be today according to Harold Camping. I'm watching Fox News as I write this and one of their headlines is about the prediction. My brother called last night and asked (only half joking), Is the world going to end tomorrow?
Let's get this out of the way. First, I'm not a pre-trib rapture guy, but if you are, you believe the rapture of the church could happen at any time. Could this be the day of the rapture? A dispensationalist will say yes. No responsible dispensationalist, however, will ever predict the day. Will anyone be able to figure the day based on so-called evidence found either in or out of the Bible? NO!
If anyone ever gives you a date--STOP LISTENING IMMEDIATELY! The guy simply does not know what he's talking about.
The words of Jesus: "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority" [Acts 1:7]. Only God knows the day He wraps up history. Will it happen? Yes. The date is in the mind of God not in the mind of Harold Camping. By the way, he's already been wrong once. Originally he predicted the rapture would take place back in 1994.
It's shame we give this guy a hearing at all.
