Somehow, standing in line for this just doesn’t do it for me.
So the world ends tomorrow, May 21st, so some people say. What will you do?
Will our east Asia and European readers please let us know how it’s going as the time marches across the face of the earth. Open thread –

There’s nothing to worry about. God spoke to me directly and let me know that Camping is a tool. Or at least that’s what I think he said. He said that Judgment Day is not for another 50 billion years giver or take.
Hey, it’s just as believable as Camping “doing the math”!
I’m going to do what I always do – go play golf. A good way to go, I think.
Seriously, as a Christian Catholic, I believe that only a dunderhead believes in the rapture. This is just so much nonsense coming from people who say they are People of the Book. I’d like for them to be people who can reconcile their religious beliefs with science for a change.
Now if an asteroid hits us tomorrow, all bets are off.
Did he say 6pm May 21st?
IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 19/2100Z
to 20/2100Z: Solar activity was very low. The three spotted regions
on the disk, 1214 (S24W70), 1216 (S16E19) and 1218 (S16E40) were all
unipolar and magnetically simple.
We may all soon be suffering from unipolar magnetically simple syndrome. Makes some folks go Poof.
So long and thanks for all the fish!
Read of a Bumper Sticker which read ‘In case of Rapture, this Car will be Unmanned’
Told that this Bumper Sticker spawned another which said ‘In case of Rapture, can I have your Car Dude?’
This is what I call planning ahead!
As any dedicated believer knows, people of a gay disposition are not admitted to heaven under any circumstances. Hence, post-rupture models predict catastrophic general hair styling in paradise.
Smart move. Better safe than sorry,

I have a table booked at “The Restaurant at the End of the Universe” at 42 minutes past the hour.
Sorry to inform the believers that I’m still here at 6:40 pm 21 May 2011 and the worst that has happened is a slight rain shower.
Glad I didn’t bet on that one!
Peta – “Blessed are the merciful?” Like in merciful killing (of dogs (for now))?

Uh oh… my EX just dissappeared! ”
And how is that possibly a bad thing ????
It’s 19:00 in Australia – and there is this funny glow in the sky – honestly, truly, a sort of purplish wishy eerie glowing phenomina.
Hold on – it’s speaking (English (Aus dialect), of course) – “… De dah dee … Don’t worry, be happy ….” what the [snip . . you know how it works here]!

What is the point of sticking this story in this blog?
It’ll happen a 6PM wherever you are. Shows that even God bows down to the Greater God Longitude!
“An atheist and entrepreneur from North Hampshire, Bart Centre, is enjoying a boost in business for Eternal Earth-bound Pets, which he set up to look after the pets of those who believe they will be raptured.
He has more than 250 clients who are paying up to $135 (£83) to have their pets picked up and cared for after the rapture.
They would be disappointed twice, he told the Wall Street Journal. “Once because they weren’t raptured and again because I don’t do refunds.””
From the bbc news site, 21 05 11.
It is written that nobody knows the day (of the end of the world)
(the words of Jesus Christ, even He Himself did not know)
It has to come one day, even the sun won’t shine forever
But this day is not going to be the one.
So, I am thinking about playing some more pool.

Sums it all up!
I’m reminded of the famous cartoon where the rather lonely newspaper vendor’s stand has
‘World Ended Yesterday’
as the headline. I don’t think he sold many.
I was shopping and getting dinner when 6 p.m. on the 21st came and went. No worries here, no earth shaker and it is 19:42 hours on the 21st. By the time it is 6 p.m., on the 21st on the east coast of the US it will be 8 a.m. on the 22nd here in Australia.
Wow lots of Good fun bashing these “Nutters” I See. Has anyone considered that it may be a clever stunt to get people to consider that from a Christian perspective “any” day could be judgement day. No one knows when but it’s great to see you all thinking about the big question which is…….. Where am I going to spend Eternity………have a great 22nd. :).
Just found out about this – I was going to cut the grass, but this is the best excuse ever. I will do what every good Englishmn will do – go to the pub!
As God obviously works on GMT we have just over 13 hours left, Anybody got the number for the Restaraunt at the End of the Universe?
21:50hrs, 21st May, 2011, Auckland, NZ. Obviously: it’s not ended (here) yet. The trains are still running, the traffic on the road is as mad, bad and thick (both quantitatively and qualitatively) as ever.
Mr. Camping is possibly (probably?) timing it by his local time (Pacific Standard Time?) for the north American continent “at about 6p.m, 21st May” … That will be about 13:00 hrs, 22nd May for us down here. Darn: that means it’ll be tomorrow before it can happen …
Apparently god is an American and does not understand time zones.
I too am a member of PETA (picture). It’s People for the Eating of Tasty Animals right?
I’ll be having a steak dinner.
Tomorrow I’ll be scouring church lawns for a nice suit.
James Sexton says:
But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.—–Matthew 24:36
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.—- 1 Thessalonians 5:2
+++++++++
James I agree with your correct reference to the ‘thief in the night’, which is the title of a book on the subject by William Sears.
The day and hour are no known, but the year is. The command to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem was given in the year called 457 BC (being 456 years prioer to the year 1), from which Jesus’s first and second coming can both be calculated. 456 plus the ‘2300 years’ = the year the Millerites and later Seventh Day Adventists (and thousands before and after them) agreed on: 1844 AD. As for the date, it was the evening of 22 May, not the 21st, though technically the 23rd because it was after sunset.
The fact that the prophecy was not fulfilled literally any more than the prophecy about His first coming (being an army general kicking out the Romans) should be instructive.
For those who really read this subject broadly, it will interest them to know that the ’40 and 2 months’ = 1260 years of days, a number used by other groups, notably the JW’s. The lunar year 1260 AH is contained within the year 1844, an overlap that happens rarely with solar and lunar calendars.
The year 1260 AH is also 1000 years (lunar) after the disappearance of the 12th Imam, when His return was expected together with Another. That date (1844 AD / 1260 AH) is one of the most interesting agreements between the latter chapters of the Book of Daniel (to which Jesus referred His followers when asked about His return) and Book of Revelations, and the Koran. It seems their respective followers agree on little else, unfortunately.
11 am in UK and I just wondered if Australia had disappeared yet?
Shame of such a fine sporting nation to meet its end so soon. And there won’t even be any Ashes left of them
