You Need to Know Five Doomsday Prophecy Fail

This message spread throughout the world: Judgement will come starting Saturday, May 21, 2011 at 18:00. Those who believe will be raptured into heaven, left behind will go through life like hell for five months, until October 21, 2011 - in which God will destroy the Earth with fire. Is a religious leader, Harold Camping who predicted it.

Using a mathematical calculation version. This is not the first time he predicts the apocalypse. Previous Camping claims end of the world will come on 6 September 1994, but wrong. What if his predictions wrong again? At least he was not the only one. Here are five predictions doomsday missed:


1. October 22, 1844

A flow Millerite preacher, Samuel S. Snow predicted the world would end October 22, 1844, based on what is believed to be a hint of Resurrection in the Book of Daniel.

On that day, thousands of people who believe already submit whatever they have. They were surprised when the day, no matter what happens. Judgement can not come. The day was known as 'The Great Disappointment' or 'Great Disappointment' that makes Millerite flow split.

2. 1806

Many believe the doomsday warnings will be delivered by a prophet. In Leeds, England, the role of the prophet is represented by a chicken! 'The Prophet Hen of Leeds' - thus dubbed the chicken, remove the eggs that reads the message of Christ has come'.

At that time, many people visit the location of the chicken, it's amazing to see the eggs immediately, and then convinced the end will come soon. People who believe in suddenly became very religious, praying diligently day and night, and repent of all their bad behavior in the past.

However, the issue ended when several people are curious when watching chickens lay eggs. Apparently, a magic egg that is caused by the fraudsters. Later known, the eggs are inscribed corrosive ink forcibly inserted into the womb of a hen.

Hearing that fact, people who terlanjut sure of course shocked. But still they laugh out loud, laugh at his own stupidity. At that time, for them, the world looks more beautiful and enjoyable.

3. December 21, 1954

A housewife and student, Dorothy Martin admitted making contact with sentient planet Clarion. The aliens said they will destroy the Earth with a flood Flood. Only the faithful would survive. They will be evacuated flying saucers, the night before the disaster struck the Earth.

Sounds weird? Indeed. However, there are believers. His followers - some already quit and hand over all his possessions - languishing in their homes, waiting to pick up the aliens.

To avoid radiation burns flying saucers, the followers get rid of all the existing iron from his body, including zippers and bra hooks. Midnight came, people who believe this increasingly agitated. Finally, at 04:45, Martin claimed to get another message from Planet Clarions creatures - that God is very impressed with the actions of his followers and changed his mind. God decided to cancel the apocalypse.

4. Year 2000

That the end will arrive in 2000 by Hal Lindsey predicted through two books, "The Late, Great Planet Earth," which appeared in 1970, and "Planet Earth 2000 AD: Will Mankind Survive?" Published in 1996 wrote, that Christians need not make future plans after 2000.

However, the forecast was missed. Although the track record is flawed because kengawurannya, Lindsey is still active in the world of writing, in 2008 he wrote a column on the conservative site WorldNetDaily: Barack Obama accused the antichrist.

5. October or November 1982

Pat Robertson in a radio broadcast in 1980 entitled 'The 700 Club' says, "I guarantee, the end of 1982 will be the Day of Judgement."

However, the forecast was just nonsense. When proven wrong Robertson argued, God canceling a number of disasters. As the devastating tsunami on the West Coast in 2006 and the terrorist attacks in 2007 - both also unproven. "I have a good track record, just sometimes I miss," he claims.
