The Heck of Doomsday Predictions by Fools.

The world didn't end on Dec. 21 like a California-based televangelist named Harold Camping predicted. This was his 3rd guess of doomsday that never materialized. The world by now should know that Harold Camping is one of the false prophets mentioned in the bible. A self declared evangelist who didn't even read in the holy Scriptures a verse which could have prevented him from making predictions or guesses about doomsday or simply misunderstood it because "he could see but blindly":
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone" (Matthew 24:36). ...so Harold Camping should now go out camping instead, rather than brag that he is more knowledgeable than Christ....

It seems that there are more false prophets these days than those who are willing to take the bible for what it says. II Tim 4:3 reads " For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires." NIV, I believe the King James version calls the time as "in the last days", and refers to itching ears, which is the wording I prefer. The meaning remains the same. People will listen to what they want to hear.

The same thing happened in the first century. People were so sure that Christ's return was imminate that they quit working and just sat down to wait for Him.
