The October date is the end of the world.
You see, May 21st is when Jesus is coming back for the rapture and then we are facing 5 months of judgment that will be terrible.
There is no salvation after May 21st and by October 21st, the world will be destroyed.
So if Camping is still here on May 22nd, he himself will be facing judgment.
;)
He totally makes everything as allegory and so he can make it say whatever he wants.
We are now in the tribulation and have been since 1988.
Not sure how he got a 23 year tribulation.
It's very simple to get 23. First take the number 7 (the pre-mills are right about the number, but the nothing else) then multiply it by 3 (the number of the Trinity) then add 2 (for the 2 witnesses) and you get 23...
No Ann, that is not the correct answer.
Before the Cross there were 12 disciples - after the cross, there were 11 disciples -so 12 + 11 =
23
- simple isnt it
My interpretation is right and Salty's interpretation is wrong, maybe even heretical! It forgets that in the kingdom there are not 11 disciples, there are 12... :tongue3:
Don't be taken in by those who make fanciful leaps of imagination into prophecy!
Its quite evident that you do not accept the account as described in Mark chapter 18 (NIV)!!!
And that is the reason we have formed the BAOEA
(Baptist Association of Eleven Apostles)

PS Ann has already PM'ed me for her church to join this exciting new group, of which I am the Bishop - (9 more churches and I will be come Arch-Bishop)....
....and if that's so, remember we are on BST (British Summer Time) now until the last weekend in October, and that is an hour ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). :thumbs:
What nonsense it is to claim to know something which only God knows!
Well let see biblically number 7 spiritual completion or perfection, number 3 divine completion or perfection, so far we are ok.
Then the number 2 that's the problem because nw you run into division and you are dividing things with this teaching.
But of course he is probably using 2 as division ofthe sheep and goats.
When it doesn't happen, I wonder if Camping will just say that it did happen, but it looks different than we expected or something like that.
He is VERY committed to this date now, saying "It will happen..."
Isn't that basically what he did with 1994? (And what Russell did with 1914, and Miller had done with 1843/4?) Like I said, they buy more time by keeping the significance of the date, yet retooling its complete fulfillment to something later.
