Harold Camping

Harold Camping was an American Christian radio broadcaster and evangelist known for predicting the apocalypse and the Second Coming of Christ. He founded Family Radio, a religious organization, and gained attention for forecasting specific dates, notably May 21, 2011, as the end of the world. These predictions were based on his interpretation of biblical numerology, but they did not come true, leading to widespread criticism and disappointment. Camping's ideas exemplify how certain interpretations of religious texts can lead to controversial predictions, emphasizing the importance of careful theological analysis and skepticism of specific date-setting claims.
