You may have seen billboards or other forms of advertising saying that May 21 will be the rapture and Oct. 21 the world will be destroyed by fire. Don't believe it. Dr. Camping is wrong on many levels. People have been trying to determine the exact day of the Rapture since the Bible was written. Jesus himself said that NO MAN knows the day or hour. Matt.24:36. We can determine when we are close by the signs we were told to look for, but the exact date has been hidden from us.
God purposefully did not reveal it, so that we would always live in expectancy of His coming. Previous generations would have been deprived of hope that they might see the fulfillment of the prophecies. People who set exact dates cause great harm to those who believe them. When the date comes and goes without anything happening, they lose faith that it will ever happen. False prophets add or take away from the Bible. Rev. 22:18-19 tells what will happen to them.
So don't be afraid of the false prophets!
