Camping recommended this week that followers surround themselves by their loved ones and not meet publicly, Exley said. Some people wanted to make sure their pets receive good treatment, no matter what happens. Harold Camping's homemade mathematical formula for the apocalypse works, in part, like this. He bases it on a verse in Chapter 2 of Peter verse , which says that one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like one day to God. Elsewhere it is said that there will be seven thousand years between Noah's flood and the end of the world.
So to Camping, the seven days translates to 7, years. And plus , minus one because there was no year '0', equals 7, years. The date of May 21 has been derived from complex mathematical formula made up from numbers that appear repeatedly in the Bible. Camping, a civil engineer who once ran his own construction business, plans to spend the day with his wife in Alameda, in northern California, and watch doomsday unfold on television. His prediction has been dismissed as 'flat-out wrong' by one leading Christian author, who has accused Camping of abusing the current climate of fear rendered by natural disasters to make money.
However, just in case the prediction is right, some Americans are making the most of their time left with 'Rapture Parties' across the country, some serious, some not. There will be a party on Saturday and a concert on Sunday - with the tongue in cheek proviso that Sunday's fun could be cancelled due to a natural catastrophe of some sort. Save the date: Camping and his various radio stations have spent millions of dollars on advertising the apocalypse on billboards such as this one in Los Angeles.

He tweeted: "I think we should all pretend the rapture is happening so that when Harold Camping gets left behind later today he'll be livid. But Kieran Healy had a slightly more comforting message for those disappointed at not joining Jesus: "I guess on Sunday when the Rapture people feel really upset, we can't console them by saying 'Cheer up, it's not the end of the world.
