American Christian radio host Harold Camping stated that the rapture and Judgment Day would take place on May 21, 2011
Camping presented several arguments labeled “numerological” by the mainstream media, which he considered biblical proofs, in favor of the May 21 end time.
A civil engineer by training, Camping stated he had attempted to work out mathematically-based prophecies in the Bible for decades. In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle he explained “… I was an engineer, I was very interested in the numbers. I’d wonder, ‘Why did God put this number in, or that number in?’
It was not a question of unbelief, it was a question of, ‘There must be a reason for it.'”
