Summary

Harold Camping, charlatan, homophobe, false prophet, and president of Family Radio Worldwide, convinced some people that the rapture would occur on May 21, 2011.

The claim is this:

 
“ 		 
God in His great mercy has given a marvelous proof that the year 2011 is the year of the Rapture which coincides with Judgment Day and the end of the world. Remember in 2 Peter 3:8, in the context of pointing us to the flood of Noah’s day as well as to the destruction of the world at the end of time, He declared: “one day with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

Years ago we learned from the Bible that the flood occurred in the year 4990 B.C. More recently we learned that Judgment Day is to occur in the year 2011 A.D. The year 2011 A.D. is exactly 7,000 years after the year 4990 B.C.

Just before the flood Noah was instructed by God that in seven days the flood would begin (Genesis 7:4, 10-16). Using the language of 2 Peter 3:8 that one day is as a thousand years, God used Noah, who was a preacher (2 Peter 2:5) to declare that “mankind has seven days or 7,000 years to escape destruction.” Since 2011 A.D. is precisely 7,000 years after Noah preached that warning, God has given mankind a wonderful proof that Judgment Day will occur in the year 2011.

God doubled the statement “one day as a thousand years” to greatly increase our assurance that this is established by God and will shortly come to pass (Genesis 4l:32).

If that's not convincing enough for you, check out further evidence. Be forewarned, there's some interesting mathematics involved.

Current status

Patiently awaiting the Rapture. Nothing happened.

Camping now states that May 21 was “an invisible judgment day“ [1] and the world will still end on October 21.

The bible is crystal clear about this:

 
“ 		 
Nobody knows the hour or the day
  		„
 

—Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32
