Harold Camping is nothing if not a man of his word. When he says the apocalypse is going to happen, he means it will happen… eventually… at some point.
If you recall, Camping’s first Judgment Day prediction indicated we were all going to meet our fiery, Bruckheimer-y end on May 21, 2011. To the untrained eye, it would appear as though we all survived. But, as Camping explained, that date was merely an “invisible judgment day.” (How sad. We hope you’re in a better place now, Hologram Will.I.Am.) The real Rapture, as it turns out, is happening tomorrow, October 21, which just so happens to be one day after the Jersey Shore finale and falls out on Kim Kardashian’s birthday. Coincidence?! Yeah, probably.
But, hey, look at the bright side, PopWatchers! Not only will you finally get to use that apocalypse survival kit you bought back in May (contents: Daryl Dixon), but Camping promises it will be a “very quick” Doomsday. I mean, nobody likes waiting. Not even for the Rapture. Still, I’m skeptical, based on the sole fact that this, if anything, will be the cause of the end of the world as we know it.
Leave your comments in the section below, PopWatchers… while there’s still time!

I can’t wait.
Was there a specific time? Cause it’s 2:50 pm EST and I’m still herererererere…
The rapture is supposed to happen at 6 pm EST. I just put a brisket in the oven and it won’t be ready til 7. Rats!
“I’m Barry Effing Gibb! I survived the rapture!”
That’s funny. I remember that SNL episode.
When the rapture happens and u still find yourself here, you din’t survive it, you missed it !!
Crap, I’m going to be at Universal Studios Horror fest tomorrow. How am I going to know the difference between the fake zombies and the real ones?!
OK, I just spewed my root beer onto my computer monitor. Have fun tomorrow!
Couldn’t the end of the world wait until at least until the World Series is over?
Is the signs of dead Angels (Charlie’s Angels) and Bunnies (Playboy Club) part of Camping’s sign of the Rapture?
Did the photographer stop to check if this guy even has a pulse?
Boy, are you guys ever gonna be sorry you were so snarky about this when the Rapture hits tomorrow … or maybe April 21, 2012 … wait … he’s still working out the math … forgot to carry the one … July 21, 2037. That’s his final answer.
+1, buddy. That was awesome.
Please Chris not on my birthday. I will only be 97. I want the whole 120 that the bible says is mans life span
I know it’s fun to make of someone old who is the person authoring this – however – people making fun of him makes us “what” exactly? Certainly not anything Christ would do. The reality is this, this man has devoted 70 years in bible study with true intent, faith and belief in finding truth. I’m sure Noah, Moses, Jesus, Paul all came across as crazy – but – it came to pass. Even if it doesn’t come to pass, I appreciate that his intentions are good, the information constructed is very real and compelling and his prediction is more valid than any other prophet based on lifelong commitment. If he’s wrong – we’ve all been wrong. Honestly, I feel sorry for him. I’ve followed this a LONG time and know him very well because he’s very authentic and transparent. I respect the life work, I respect his faith, I respect his work. If he’s wrong, he’s wrong. I feel sad “for him”. This wasn’t a money scam. People empty life-savings all of the time to all kinds of crap. He put his money back into the business for the purpose of spreading the word. He’s a good servant, but did not have all the answers. Nobody does. What do we learn? He’s a devoted man of faith and other than being wrong (and persistent in his faith towards others), that’s not so bad. And he IS right – he’s not responsible for anyone else’s behavior in giving money to his cause. We have to be responsible for our own actions. I know that’s not taught, but, it’s true and it’s life. However, the jokes are funny – but let’s not be nasty ourselves – that’s on us.
If he was such a devoted Bible scholar, why has he missed the verses that talk about “no man knowing the hour or day”. Clearly he skipped over that part. You would think a devoted biblical scholar would have seen that.
He also in the name of God ruined so many lifes and scared many people, Jesus would not sanction that.
WOW. You should really work on getting over yourself. The real end of the world has absolutely nothing to do with your “God”.
when the rapture comes can I have your money because I will still be here after the “believers” have ascended and there will be a party on earth!
Awesome maggie! I’ll still be here too. Want to meet at Disney World for free rides?
is this still supposed to happen at 6pm or has the time changed also??? ill be waiting in joyful un-anticipation either way
Ah crap. I was hoping it would get me out of my afternoon meeting today. Can’t he move it up to 2 instead?
3 pm on the west coast then ?
Pffft…
Not before I get my Siri!
my roomate’s mother-in-law makes $87 an hour on the laptop. She has been laid off for 6 months but last month her pay was $8018 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Go to this web site makecash4.c o m
Sorry!!! If even the Son didn’t know how could a mere man. From a lot of research by many biblical researchers the next cycle is Aquarius, “the return of God”; the man carrying the water jug”. There will be world wide destruction many will die. When??? Only HE knows
