class=abody> <BR><BR>OAKLAND, Calif. – California preacher Harold Camping said
Monday his prophecy that the world would end was off by five months because
Judgment Day actually will come on October 21.<BR><BR>Camping, who predicted
that 200 million Christians would be taken to heaven Saturday before the Earth
was destroyed, said he felt so terrible when his doomsday</SPAN><SPAN
class=abody> prediction did not come true that he left home and took refuge in a
motel with his wife. His independent ministry, Family Radio International, spent
millions – some of it from donations made by followers – on more than 5,000
billboards and 20 RVs plastered with the Judgment Day message.<BR><BR>But
Camping said that he’s now realized the apocalypse will come five months after
May 21, the</SPAN><SPAN class=abody> original date he predicted. He had earlier
said Oct. 21 was when the globe would be consumed by a fireball.<BR><BR>He also
predicted the Apocalypse would come in 1994, but said it didn’t happen then
because of a mathematical error.<BR><BR>His show, “Open Forum,” has for months
headlined his doomsday message via the group’s radio stations, TV channels,
satellite broadcasts and website.<BR></SPAN></P></FONT></DIV><FONT size=2>
