Harold Camping康平

Harold Camping Update: Family Radio Website Removes Doomsday Warnings After Failed Predictions 《聖經》馬太福音24章36節，耶穌說
「那日子、那時辰沒有人知道，連天上的使者也不知道，子也不知道，惟獨父知道」。

In 1970, Camping published The Biblical Calendar of History
(later greatly expanded in Adam When?) in which he dated
the Creation of the world to the year 11,013 BC and the Flood to 4990 BC.
This was in contrast to

Bishop James Ussher's famous chronology,

which placed creation at 4004 BC and the Flood at 2348 BC.
Camping argued that Ussher's dates "agree
neither with the Biblical nor the secular evidence" and
thus Ussher's methodology was flawed.

It’s based on the understanding that the world was
created in the year 11,013 BC and Noah’s Flood took place in 4990 BC.
------------------------------------
the world will end on 21 May, 2011.
that will be 722,500 days from 1 April AD33,
which was the day of the Crucifixion.
The figure of 722,500 is that you get it by 3 holy numbers (5x10x17)x(5x10x17).
722500/365.25=1978
33+1978=2011

------------------------------------
The ark that Noah had built was the only place of safety from the destruction of the Flood. Likewise, God’s gracious mercy is the only place of safety from the destruction that is coming on the Day of Judgment.

In 2 Peter 3:8, which is quoted above, Holy God reminds us that one day is as 1,000 years. Therefore, with the correct understanding that the seven days referred to in Genesis 7:4 can be understood as 7,000 years, we learn that when God told Noah there were seven days to escape worldwide destruction, He was also telling the world there would be exactly 7,000 years (one day is as 1,000 years) to escape the wrath of God that would come when He destroys the world on Judgment Day. Because Holy Infinite God is all-knowing, He knows the end from the beginning. He knew how sinful the world would become.

Seven thousand years after 4990 B.C. (the year of the Flood) is the year 2011 A.D. (our calendar).

4990 + 2011 – 1 = 7,000

[One year must be subtracted in going from an Old Testament B.C. calendar date to a New Testament A.D. calendar date because the calendar does not have a year zero.]

Thus Holy God is showing us by the words of 2 Peter 3:8 that He wants us to know that exactly 7,000 years after He destroyed the world with water in Noah’s day, He plans to destroy the entire world forever. Because the year 2011 A.D. is exactly 7,000 years after 4990 B.C. when the flood began, the Bible has given us absolute proof that the year 2011 is the end of the world during the Day of Judgment, which will come on the last day of the Day of Judgment.

Amazingly, May 21, 2011 is the 17th day of the 2nd month of the Biblical calendar of our day. Remember, the flood waters also began on the 17th day of the 2nd month, in the year 4990 B.C.

The Holy Bible gives several additional astounding proofs that May 21, 2011 is very accurate as the time for the Day of Judgment. For more information on this subject, you may request a copy of We Are Almost There, available free of charge from Family Radio.

God is proving to us that we have very accurately learned from the Holy Bible God’s time-plan for the end of the world.

耶路撒冷夜景，以及即將指向午夜12點的大鐘。
廣告說：「全球發生有史以來最大地震！審判日：2011年5月21日。」

60歲的費茨派垂克告訴「紐約每日新聞」（NewYork Daily News）：
「我試圖警告世人即將發生的事，了解末世的人有責任提醒大家。」

費茨派垂克於2006年聽聞著名加州布道家康平（Harold Camping）的末日預言後，
開始執迷於末日說法。他還出了一本書，書名為「末日密碼」（The Doomsday Code），
闡述其古怪理論。

康平與他的「家庭電台」（Family Radio）路邊秀，正巡迴全美各地，傳播世界末日訊息。
根據康平的預測，5月21日當天將會發生大規模地震撕裂世界，遍地死屍橫陳。
康平先前也曾預測1994年9月4日將會是世界末日，但他其後辯稱，那次錯誤是因為誤解聖經密碼。

費茨派垂克堅信世界末日將於下周降臨。他說：「將會於耶路撒冷時間午夜稍前展開，那會是瞬間且全球性的。」
==================
世界末日，散盡家財，現在世界一片平靜，他們未來要如何過日子，令人好奇。

綜合報導，現年高齡八十九歲的康平，先前預言耶穌將在五月二十一號下午六號降臨人間，
將信徒接往天堂，其他人則需面對末日審判，地球也會發生大地震，會有兩億多人喪生；
直到十月，地球會完全毀滅。
康平前幾天在幫一個電視節目錄影時，甚至還與工作人員一一握手道別。
========================
周六下午天色漸暗，但世界末日仍沒有來臨的跡象。預言沒有應驗，
讓大都會捷運局（MTA）前僱員、用14萬元退休金打廣告宣傳末日說的
費茨帕特裡克（Robert Fitzpatrick）大感意外和不解。

紐約每日新聞報報道，作為「家庭電台」主持人坎平的追隨者，
現年60歲費茨帕特裡克相信21日將是自己在人世的最後一天。
但6點已過，甚麼也沒發生。站在時報廣場等候「被提」的費茨帕特裡克說：
「我不理解為何會這樣，因為我們仍在這？。但我做了我必須做的事，我按照聖經說的去做了。」

費茨帕特裡克已把周六當成自己凡俗人生的最後一天。
他早餐喝了咖啡，吃烤麵包和麥片，雖然他「不確定這些糧食的精神重要性」。
他覺得沒必要洗盤子，但花了點工夫給後養的兩隻松鼠餵了花生。
他說：「只有人類才能被救贖，天堂？沒動物，我真希望自己是上帝挑選的那批人。」

　　被問到如果世界末日6點沒有來時他將做何感受時，他信心十足說：「我根本沒想過，因為聖經？有太多證據證明這個預言了。」他說，屆時建築將會坍塌，未被救贖死人的墳墓將會裂開，到處都將是死人。早餐後，費茨帕特裡克在家花數小時回覆電郵和打電話，然後享用最後午餐，他說：「這將是我最後一頓飯。」

　　接下來，費茨帕特裡克驅車到老人院探望94歲患有痴獃症的老母親。在30分鐘的探視時間內，他讀了路加福音23章，？面講述一個站在十字路口的竊賊最後一分鐘被耶穌救贖的例子，費茨帕特裡克計劃做同樣的事。在吻別了母親之後，他4點半跳上駛往曼哈頓的渡輪，打算在最後一刻繼續警告世人「被提」即將來臨。

　　現年24歲的基督徒詹姆士說，聖經上說，沒人知道基督何時降臨。
24歲的學生羅德裡奎茲也補充說，真正的宗教應該是幫助人們，而不是嚇唬他們。

First, we need to be sure we have put our trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. "The fact of the matter is... we are all a heartbeat away from eternity," said Will Graham, grandson of Billy Graham, when asked about recent "doomsday" predictions.

"Whether you stand before God on May 21st, or whether you stand before Him 50 years from now, is irrelevant in the scope of eternity," Graham added. "The important thing isn't when you stand before God; it's where you stand with God."

Our new Internet evangelism site, PeaceWithGod.net, is a tool you can use to settle the question of your own salvation and to share with unbelieving friends and loved ones.

Q: I read a blog on the Internet the other day that claimed Jesus was going to come back to earth on a certain date. How did they know?

Jesus said, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Mark 13:32).


Q: Do you think Christ will come again and the world will end in 2011 or 2012?

Just before He ascended into heaven, Jesus told His disciples, "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set" (Acts 1:7).


Q: What is the "rapture," and when does it occur??

There are many Christians who believe that the second coming of Jesus Christ will be in two phases.


Q: I know I'm supposed to look forward to Jesus' second coming, but I don't. Is it a mistake for me to feel like this?

"Yes," says Billy Graham. "It is a mistake for you to feel this way, because Christ's second coming will be a time of blessing and joy for all who know Him."

Christ Our Coming Judge

The Second Coming of Christ will usher in the Day of Judgment, when the risen Lord Jesus separates the wicked from the righteous.


What Difference Should it Make?

When we live in expectation of Jesus' return, it changes us.


10 Marks of Expectant Living

The study of prophecy provides a compelling motivation for living the Christian life.

10 ways in which we should be different as a result of our prophetic knowledge:
Refrain from judging others (1 Corinthians 4:5).
Remember the Lord’s table (1 Corinthians 11:26).
Respond to life spiritually (Colossians 3:1-4).
Relate to one another in love (1 Thessalonians 3:12-13).
Restore the bereaved (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
Recommit ourselves to the ministry (2 Timothy 4:1-2).
Refuse to neglect the church (Hebrews 10:24-25).
Remain steadfast (James 5:7-8).
Renounce sin in our lives (1 John 2:28-29).
Reach the lost (Jude 21-23).

The Virgins and the Bridegroom: Awaiting Jesus' Return

Christians of every generation have been interested in the return of Jesus Christ to the earth. And no surprise: the second coming of Christ has been the hope of the church in every age.


Are You Ready for the End?

Almost every headline, television news report and radio bulletin these days proclaims one essential truth: The modern world is in chaos, and no one has a realistic solution.

Proclaiming Christ's Return

"I have felt for a long time that the church has long neglected prophetic truth and, as a result, has failed to carry out God's revealed program not only for the church itself but has failed to tell the world of God's plan for the future," says Billy Graham.


How Then Should We Live?

Skip Hetzig writes, "Christians have been looking for Jesus' Second Coming ever since He left the first time. We have always longed for the time when our Savior will come from heaven and make everything right once again on the earth. I hope you're looking for it because Paul says at the end of 2 Timothy that there is a crown awaiting all of those who are longing for His appearing. Are you longing for it? Do you get up in the morning thinking, This could be the day?"


Signs of Christ's Return: As In the Days of Noah

"As we watch the downward spiral of our society today, we realize that a powder keg is ready to explode," says Chuck Smith. "Something has got to change."


Is Jesus Really Coming?

"People ask me, 'Do you really believe that Jesus Christ is going to come back to this earth again?'" writes Billy Graham. "Yes, I do. The Bible teaches that Jesus is coming again. And I don't see any other hope, because we're heading toward a catastrophe in our world."


Come Quickly, Lord Jesus

Franklin Graham points out that after His death and resurrection, Jesus ascended into the heavens, while disciples stood awestruck and attending angels made this promise: "This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven" (Acts 1:11, NASB).


End Times 101: The Basics of the Second Coming

The second coming of Jesus (and the subsequent upheaval of all that we know and understand) is an incredibly complex area of the faith.


The Hope of a Returning Savior

"We know He is coming soon," says Anne Graham Lotz. "He just has not arrived yet. Hope wakes us up and keeps us awake. In light of the vision of His glory, be faithful to watch!"

1812年战争的退伍军人威廉•米勒，在纽约州的汉普顿制定出一套理论，
说基督第二次降临将在1843年10月22日，这个教派说服成千上万的人
卖掉他们的全部财物，穿上规定式的长袍，坐在屋顶、山头和草堆上等待基督再降临。
-----------------------------------------
创世以后过了6,000年，地球上的人口也逐渐倍增。
由于人类被赋予一个完美的身体，身上就没有天生的缺陷。
因此，圣经记载这段时期的人类岁数特别长。
例如，亚当活了930岁，雅列活了962岁以及玛土撒拉活了969岁（创世记5:5，20，27）。
然而，圣经上的证据显示这些人虽然长寿，但是他们的家庭成员并不比任何其他历史时期的人类来得多。
其中一个例子是挪亚。他虽然活到950岁，可是却只有三个儿子，即闪、含和雅弗。

挪亚时期之后3,000年，亚伯拉罕的父亲他拉活了205岁。
他同样只有三个儿子，即亚伯兰、拿鹤和哈兰（创世记11:27）。
因此，当地球存在6,000年之后，地球上的人口极可能倍增到了一百万。
（地球存在的最初6,000年，人口增长率并不太重要。
对当时人口总数的揣测只是要具体了解地球存在6,000年之后，挪亚洪水时期的大略状况。）
----------------------------------------
基督徒應從聖經視角看待世界末日的話題。

首先耶穌基督多次指出世界有末日，一切均在神的手中掌管，使徒保羅在帖前4：17節描述一些有關世界末日的情形。

其次，正如耶穌預言的那樣，世界末日會有很多迷惑人的假先知興起，同時會有饑荒、地震、戰爭，這些都是災難的起頭（太24：3－8）。

第三，主耶穌在世時多次預言自己必將再來，再來的主必然會審判罪人、獎勵義人。

第四，主耶穌沒有透露自己何時會再來，但今天的基督徒仍可透過一些明顯的外部徵兆感悟到主耶穌再來的日子即將來到。

第五，基督徒應警惕歪曲真道的異端邪說，特別留心關於基督再來的問題。很多異端教派以及所謂哲學家都宣稱算出主再來的時間，然而這些毫無根據的言論根本不符合聖經的教導，更經不起時間的考驗。

講到基督徒如何應對世界末日言論滿天飛的局面，給出幾點建議。

首先，教會牧師、傳道人在分享末日危機的信息時要不偏左右，行在真理之中。

其次，牧師和傳道人要注重神學與教導上的平衡。

舉例，
若講台信息過於強調神審判的一面，可能會讓人忽略神的慈愛叫罪人得救蒙恩的一面，或導致信徒灰心喪氣、忽視耶穌十字架的恩典；

若過於強調神慈愛一面，而忽略祂審判罪惡的公義，勢必導致信徒輕看神的寶貴恩典。「因此，我們要做到平衡分解真道。」

再次，牧師、傳道人要好好裝備信徒，讓他們在真道上紮根，以防異端邪說有機可乘；

最後，提醒教會動員信徒多傳福音、服事情教會，帶著緊迫、積極的心態迎接主的再來。

Dec. 21, 2012 by Maya Calender 耶蘇是在公元33年4月1日被釘死的，距離2011年5月21日有722500天， 這數字自有它神奇的意義； 722500等於5乘以10乘以17的平方，而在他的數字系統當中，5代表贖罪，10代表完整，17則代表天堂。 美國加州基督教「環球家庭電台」（Family Radio Worldwide）90歲的主持人康平（Harold Camping）關於5月21日末日審判的預言破產，此事鬧得紛紛揚揚。 這不是康平第一次發預言。他曾預言1994年9月21日是審判日。當有人質問他上次預言為何不准時，他說：「那時我已經發現可能是2011年，但當時我的《聖經》研究還沒有完成，另外幾本書我也沒有仔細審視，所以我就在那本書《1994？》上放了一個問號，書中也指出2011年的可能性」。 這次預言再次失敗後，康平又狡辯說：5月21日只是末日審判在靈界的開始，10月21日才是世界徹底毀滅的末日。 康平說，經過他對《聖經》的研究推算，2011年5月21日是挪亞遭遇洪水7000週年，正是末日審判的日子。由於他口口聲聲引用《聖經》，许多信徒被迷惑。紐約一位60歲的退休工人，奉獻他一生積蓄的14萬美元來宣傳這個預言。一位27歲的女學生離開醫學院，與丈夫一起每天派發末日預言單張。也有人去四處旅遊、盡情享樂。 這件事值得深思。 《聖經》馬太福音24章36節，耶穌明明說「那日子、那時辰沒有人知道，連天上的使者也不知道，子也不知道，惟獨父知道」。可為什麼歷史上一而再、再而三地出現預言者，许多基督徒一而再、再而三地被迷惑呢？為什麼對主基督明明白白的宣告視而不見，非要另闢蹊徑、拐彎抹角去搜尋《聖經》的隱秘、而且居然有基督徒相信呢？ 加州西敏寺神學院院長戈弗雷博士（Dr. W. Robert Godfrey）敏銳地發現：「康平的神學聲明中最令人悲哀與擔憂的是，裡面並沒有基督。」在康平長達8頁的末日宣告中，只有一處提到基督：「在《聖經》裡，我們看到這些名稱諸如神、耶和華、基督、耶穌、主、上帝、聖靈、救贖主等等……」。 這就是問題所在。 以研究《聖經》取代信靠基督，後患無窮。 《聖經》之所以對基督徒具有神聖權威，就在於它是為基督作見證的。請注意《聖經》是用「它」，基督是用「祂」。祂說：它是給我作見證的；你們不能只是查考它，卻不到我這裡來（約翰福音5：39-40）。從終極意義上說，基督信仰信的不是「它 」，乃是「祂」；不是停留於「它」，乃是藉著「它」通向「祂」。 末日預言者顯然沒有到基督這裡來。康平輕蔑並忽略基督的宣告。另有一些研究《聖經》卻不信基督的人。基督教內部，一些教派分歧、教義爭議、神學論戰、信徒紛爭，也常常是因為僅僅停留於《聖經》話語的不同歸納解讀，而沒有經由《聖經》話語進入獨一無二的基督。 《聖經》66卷書，內容浩瀚深邃，每個人的智力、立場和經歷都有限，難免不各有所見、各取所需、各有所得。感謝神將一切都歸入耶穌基督，叫人單單藉著信祂，就可以進入全備的道路、真理和生命。 《聖經》66卷書是基督豐滿的見證，基督是《聖經》66卷書唯一的準繩。這樣把救恩真理聚焦歸一於獨生子耶穌，彰顯出上帝的大愛和大能！正確解讀《聖經》第一要義，就是歸向耶穌。 因此不言而喻：第一，在天上、地上、地下一切的事情上，凡是耶穌基督親口說過的，應當一律以祂親口所說的為準。包括聖父、聖子、聖靈、聖經、救恩、信徒、使命、末日、復活、審判、天國、地獄等等。 第二，對《聖經》新舊約任何經文的解釋，任何教義和神學的概括，如果與耶穌直接說過的話相牴痋A一定是不可信的。譬如任何包含準確日期的末日預言，不管引證和演繹多少《聖經》經文，只因明顯違背馬太福音24章36節耶穌的話，一定是謊言。 第三，基於道成肉身的完滿性，基督徒應該堅信：上帝在末後時代對人類要說的重要話，耶穌都說了，在祂並無保留。同時，耶穌所言、所行和所活之方式，是最好的方式；也就是說，任何人的解析、歸納、演繹、效法，都不及耶穌的原貌。 除祂以外別無拯救，除祂以外別無根基，除祂以外也別無真理。那將上帝顯明給我們看的，那將我們引向上帝國度的，那將要面對面審判我們的，只是祂，不是任何人，也不是歷史上的大多數人。回到耶穌是當務之急。一切事上，要看祂怎麼說、怎麼行、怎麼活。人的一切言論，包括對《聖經》的言論，如果不是以基督為準繩，都是枉然。康平老人就是神教訓、警示我們的又一例。 ----------- 2011年兩度預測世界末日將降臨，卻都「落空」的90歲的加州布道家康平(Harold Camping)， 終於承認「預測錯誤」，並表示將不再做類似的預測。他在一份聲明中表示，「沒有證據顯示世界很快就會毀滅」。 去年花費數百萬元，公布其預測即將發生「世界末日」的康平，8日在其網站上發表一封公開信。 康平在信中說：「我們知道，許多人希望知道耶穌回來的日期。我們謙卑地承認，我們預測的那個日期是錯誤的。」 他告訴追隨者，沒有證據顯示世界很快就會毀滅，他已喪失「預測世界末日何時降臨的興趣」。 全文網址: 康平認錯 不再預測世界末日
