“Judgment day is near!” says Harold Camping, the radio preacher who predicted that the world would end on May 21. He hasn’t backed down from his claims and is now saying that everything will end on Friday, October 21.

Camping announced on his Family Radio Network website that just like his predictions on May 21, the end of the world will start by hourly earthquakes followed by tormented months to individuals who will be left on Earth. He used numerical codes from Bible and set the date for the Judgment day.

He explained his predictions and revised his May 21 Judgment story through an article that he posted in his site entitled “What Happened on May 21?”

“Instead of shaking the Earth, God shook mankind ‘with fear.’ Likewise, although no one was raptured, God is no longer saving souls,” writes Camping.

"What really happened is that God accomplished exactly what He wanted to happen."

After suffering from a stroke in June, Camping is now recovering at home. But he hasn’t failed giving statements on his website and audio messages that the world will end on Oct. 21.

People from all over the world had different reactions when Camping announced that the world would end in May. In Australia, they welcomed the “Judgment Day” with skepticism and humor.

John Gall from Melbourne even tweeted his dismay from the predicted doomsday.

"Rapture time here in Melbourne. A rather quiet sort of rapture if you ask me," he tweeted.

Gall followed it up with another tweet saying “Well we have had the ‘Rapture’ going for 50 minutes now. So far it hasn't interrupted my fish & chips and glass of stout."

"So it's 6:37pm here in Brisbane, Australia," tweeted another unimpressed user, KillaJeules.

"No earthquakes. No beaming up of Christians. No zombie apocalypse. No surprises haha."

But as expected, Camping has his own reasons and backups why his predictions failed. Just like other failed doomsday predictors, he will still claim that his prophecies were real and that they were just misunderstood.
