Amazing Facts President and Nationally Recognized Prophecy Speaker Challenges Harold Camping's May 21st Judgment Day
SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 16, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Family Radio
speaker Harold Camping has boldly predicted that the world will end on Saturday,
May 21, 2011, at precisely 6:00pm. Promoting it nationally through his extensive
radio network, as well as on billboards and websites such as
http://www.wecanknow.com, Camping's assertive claims have created a media frenzy
around this predicted terrifying Armageddon event that will soon end the world
as we know it.
But is Camping's prediction true? And worse, is it dangerous? Those are the
questions posed by international speaker Doug Batchelor, a pastor and the
president of Amazing Facts, a Christian ministry known globally for its
comprehensive Bible prophecy presentations.
In fact, Pastor Batchelor has directly challenged Camping, offering him $100,000
to hand over the deed and rights to the Family Radio network following the May
21 deadline. He explains, "The Bible clearly teaches in Matthew 24:36 that 'No
man knows the day and hour' of Jesus' return. Christ also warned that in the
last days, there would be many false teachers. It is worth asking then, does
Camping's prediction match what the Bible really tells us about Christ's return?
I don't believe it does. But if Camping is right, he deserves the money to
spread the message; if he's wrong, he should not own a radio network."
Batchelor also warns, "Reckless predictions of the second coming of Christ
create an artificial excitement among believers followed by a corresponding
depression. In addition, it hardens skeptics in their unbelief and provides new
fodder for cynics to mock the Christian faith." Across the country, hundreds of
Family Radio listeners are quitting their jobs and selling their possessions.
Pastor Batchelor hopes to set the record straight and save millions of believers
the devastation, harm, and the embarrassment that will come to them having put
their faith in the wild opinions of men and potentially losing everything they
have. He says, "Based on Bible prophecy, we'll all still be here May 22. So what
can we do to save those caught up in this deception?"
Amazing Facts is a Christian media ministry sharing the Bible through radio and
television on more than 650 stations around the world. It also operates AFTV, a

300,000 people contact Amazing Facts to receive information about Bible prophecy
and other topics. Its many websites also receive more than 4.9 million hits per

Discovery Channel and appeared with Tim LaHaye in the National Geographic
documentary The Riddle of Revelation. He is also the author of numerous articles
and books on prophecy and hosts the weekly radio program Bible Answers Live.
