The end of the world will be at exactly 6 p. It's when God will destroy the Earth to show his love for humanity. The Rapture is at 6 p. That means we can expect the Rapture to start when it hits 6 p. We'll know it's Judgment Day because there will be an earthquake of previously unprecedented magnitude, Camping predicts.

So, according to these calculations, the Rapture will actually begin like a rolling brown out across the globe at 11 p. PST on Friday, May 20th. This also means that, if Camping is right, his signs littering California and in his current hometown of Oakland -- not to mention thousands of atheists throwing Rapture parties -- have the date wrong.

It's Friday, Friday What are Camping's plans for Armageddon? The secular world will have their cameras out there filming the destruction, he said, and "I'm sure our pre-occupation will be watching that come around It's going to be a horror story of tremendous proportion.

After I had interviewed him, I stumbled upon Camping's listener supported radio station by accident. I was on "The 5" Freeway in the middle of the hours-long slaughterhouse-stench exactly halfway between LA and San Francisco. Family Radio is the strongest of all the signals in that area.

Camping's baritone bursts out of the speakers emphasizing his certitude. His End of Days prediction are all very obvious to him -- after all he's an end-all authority.

Even though he'll tell you the bible is the authority, he's merely its humble teacher. He's spent several decades looking into it. He never wavers and even his caveats sound definitive. Of course, Brother Camping, as his supporters call him -- a U. Berkeley grad originally from Boulder, Colo. Christian traditions have varying understandings of the end of the world, rooted in different interpretations of the Bible in particular, the book of Revelation.

While early Christianity was intensely focused on eschatology i. The rapture concept then started to proliferate in America after the Civil War, through the efforts of figures like John Nelson Darby, who referred to it as Dispensationalism.

That would begin with the rapture, continue through a period of turmoil and chaos — usually thought to be one millennium — ending with the Second Coming of Christ. Today, versions of this theology are extremely common in American evangelical thought.

As a rule, mainline Protestants do not subscribe to Premillennial Dispensationalism. One of the many narratives that RaptureAnxiety highlights is how political that theology is — and not just in terms of views on Jerusalem. Thus, one RaptureAnxiety poster recalls how "after the start of the Iraq War and a natural disaster, one Sunday morning our worship leader took time to tell us all how she thought the Rapture was going to happen within the next month because of evidence of wars and natural disaster.

This is nothing new. As Tony Weber writes in Christianity Today:. Premillennialists made much of the current problems of society and interpreted them as "signs of the times.

In the evangelical film A Thief in the Night, for example — a film many RaptureAnxiety contributors cite as enormously influential on their childhood — the Antichrist is literally a branch of the United Nations claiming control over the entire world. Run by Thomas Ice and Tim LaHaye the latter of Left Behindfame , the Pre-Trib Research Center acts as a clearinghouse for Biblical prophecy scholars to share their work on the Rapture and their interpretation that the church will be raptured before the Tribulation.

Hundreds of Christian groups have tried to use the Bible to predict when the world will end, using a hardly clear-cut combination of events mentioned in the apocalyptic Book of Revelation.

Cotton Mather, a Puritan minister who was influential in the construction of the Salem Witch Trials, announced that the world would end in Just kidding! Unhappy with , he soon moved the date up to ; when that year came and went, Mather suggested the world would end in While a large earthquake did shake Boston that year, the only thing that quickly came to an end was Mather, who died in February Mather is part of a centuries-long tradition of Christians who have made these bold predictions.

Thomas Ice of the Pre-Trib Research Center distinguishes between the Rapture believers being carried up to heaven and the Second Coming of Christ Christ coming down to Earth, which will happen seven years after the Rapture.
