Jesus Himself said that nobody, that is nobody, knows the day or hour except the Father.
I think that attempting to assign a ‘date’ is silly at best and near-blasphemous at worst.

Not another one! I will have to move a lot up on my calendar now. What is the purpose of these people who publish when the Day of Judgement is? More books to sell, I would imagine.

LOL - tithing and membership must be off at bubba’s bible church, or else rapture book sales are slipping or else the bed wetters are back. “The Raptureites” all have to have some hope to cling too that they get to escape Alcatraz and leave the the unsaved behind to feel good and re-affirm that they are privileged. After the dates pass, there will be a “correction” issued that they forgot to add in extra years etc. due to some technicality or oversight. JWs have been doing this for a century and finally just gave up on it. It’s sensationalism and alarm-ism and should be completely ignored. There is no rapture and Catholics are told to be in a constant state of watchfulness and preparedness…
The spelling and grammar errors present at that link tell me all I need to know…
Interesting enough, I did just yesterday have a very interesting discussion with a Messianic Jewish scholar (PhD)… She told me that the phrase “no one knows the hour or the day” (ref. 2nd comming) used in the bible was a well known Jewish idiom. It meant that there is a calendar period where the moon is not observable for 3 days and so it was impossible for Jewish priests to establish the Jewish feast days until it was observable. This condition is rare but is coincidentally scheduled to happen in 2011 - I forget which day. She is an author and is often consulted by high level Jewish officials in Israel. We were going to date (no eschatological pun intended) but she got miffed at me over a silly little comment I made and broke off communication. I may have to see if I can get back in her good graces and fish for more info…

1994 AD—On September 7th, the first 2300-day period of the great tribulation came to an end and the latter rain began, commencing God’s plan to save a great multitude of people outside of the churches (13,006 years from creation).
The above was copied from the publication.
Uhhhh…shouldn’t "rain"have been “REIGN” ??
That tells one a lot about this entire idea, IMHO.
(OOOppps…I see we are cross-posting, bona fides!)
MICKEY: Good one!!
ROTFL

In any event, the chance that the end of the world is on May 21, 2011 is the same as every other day from today on. We don’t know when He’s coming, this has been shown in the Bible. Christ spoke of Himself as arriving like “a thief in the night.”
The last thing God wants for us is to live in fear of the end. We should always be prepared for the end, but we must also enjoy life.

I got back in her good graces - weeeooo!
She told me that Yom Teruah or Rosh Hashanah has a command for two witnesses to visually see the moon (Tractate Rosh Hashana ) but that in 2011 the moon will not be visible for 3 days. So there is some eschatological implication here that the 2nd coming could occur in this period where its physically impossible for any witness to know the “hour or the day” of the Lord with respect to the feast days and calendar. Intriguing theory…

That is what happens when phrases or verses are taken out of context. What is the book about, what is the chapter about? That is why there are many flavors of different Protestant denominations now. I think there are over 35,000 registered denominations now days and there will probably be more tomorrow.
I truly love it when some one decides they are going to show the “catholics” they are wrong. One of the last was cardinal John Henry Newman who is about to be raised to sainthood.
God Bless!!!

Sigh, she won’t give me the exact date since she is “sworn to secrecy”. But she said “no one should buy any green bananas toward the end of 2011…”

That’s just silly. Everyone knows it will happen in 2012!
As others have pointed out, “know man knows the day or the hour…” Then again, I see from clicking around on that site that they have a paper to address that “fallacy.”
Might I humbly recommend some alternative reading? internetmonk.com/archive/imonk-classic-wilkerson-warnsimonk-rants
Here, I’ll whet your appetites with a quote from the link:

That is the brainchild of Dr. Harold Camping who claims that God revealed to him how to properly interpret certain scriptural passages so that we now know when Christ will come again and rapture his people. He claims that until God gave him this insight, mankind was kept in ignorance of this by the good God, so it’s not really anyone’s fault that they did not know this, because God had not enlightened anyone’s mind as yet, and Harold happened to be the one he enlightened. However, if you belong to a church, you are in big trouble, because you will be left behind to suffer the consequences. He is not associated with the authors of the Left Behind books. You must leave your church and become a true believer. But there is another date that has been revealed to Harold–in October of that year, everything comes to an end.
However, Harold has been wrong before, so I guess we will have to wait with baited breath to see if he got it right this time.
