Apprising Ministries is an online apologetics and discernment work specializing in analyzing current trends in the visible church, apprising you as to what they are, and informing you as to how you can deal with them. Sadly, this is a time of growing spiritual darkness and blindness, which is why I’ve been warning you about the 1 Peter 4:17 judgments coming upon the church visible. False prophets a-plenty have run with their message and scattered across the landscape lying to you by telling you God is about bringing unity within mainstream evangelical factions.

One false prophet, disgraced yet again, is Harold Camping who has just brought shame to the Name of Jesus Christ with his foolish prediction that the rapture was going to take place this past Saturday May 21st at 6 p.m. This elicted much mockery of the Christian faith, when in reality he does not represent the historic orthodox Christianity at all. Today Will Kane of the SanFrancisco Chronicle tells us:

The man who said the world was going to end appeared at his front door in  Alameda a day later, very much alive but not so well.

“It has been a really tough weekend,” said Harold Camping, the 89-year-old  fundamentalist radio preacher who convinced hundreds of his followers that the  rapture would occur on Saturday at 6 p.m.

Massive earthquakes would strike, he said. Believers would ascend to heaven and the rest would be left to wander a godforsaken planet until Oct. 21, when Camping promised a fiery end to the world.

But on Sunday, almost 18 hours after he thought he’d be in heaven, there was  Camping, “flabbergasted” in Alameda, wearing tan slacks, a tucked-in polo shirt  and a light jacket.

Birds chirped. A gentle breeze blew. Across the street, neighbors focused on  their yard work and the latest neighborhood gossip.

“I’m looking for answers,” Camping said, adding that meant frequent prayer  and consultations with friends.

“But now I have nothing else to say,” he said, closing the door to his home.  “I’ll be back to work Monday and will say more then.”

Camping’s followers will surely be listening… (Online source)

I said before that it’s really not hard to find some humor in this failed Doomsday prophecy from Harold Camping; however, let me also encourage you to also be in prayer for the many who believed him and who’re in much pain right now.
