At Worlds End?

I guess a decade or two ago I may have been alarmed by this end of the world theory. Not so long ago I bought into the whole Y2K and for saved water and horded enough food for us and and extra for the the unprepared neighbors. Looking back I find it rather funny...just a few months after the computers were suppose to go haywire and the world was going to be in chaos, I ended up living in Central NY.  In a way life as I knew indeed did change. And for many months my life was upside down and felt chaotic.
Here we are on the eve of  "the world's end" and all I can do is say who cares? First of all this gentleman's prediction failed miserably in 1994. Second my Bible tells me no one knows the time that rapture will take place. We are to keep watch, it can happen anytime even May 21, 2011.  Thirdly I don't fear rapture.  My loved ones are saved and as much as I love my life here, being with my Lord is not a scary thing. I got up this morning and lived a normal day of falling short in my walk with the Lord, but at peace knowing even in my failure His grace covers me and his love wraps around me. I want to concern myself more with knowing and serving my savior than wringing my hands over the end of the world.

NEW YORK– May 21, 2011 will mark the end of the world and the second coming of Christ, or at least that’s what some Christian groups believe.
For months, Christian network Family radio has trumpeted the coming of  judgement day on more than 2,000 ads around world. The network’s president, 89-year-old  Harold Camping claims to have calculated the apocalypse to an exact day: May 21, 2011.
Various interpretations have surfaced to support the claim.
The most prominent reference passages from the Bible that claim the end of the world begins exactly 7,000 years after the great flood, which, in the Book of Genesis occurred on the 17th day of the second month of the Jewish calendar.
In Genesis 7:4 God tells Noah:
“Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.”
The great flood is said to have occurred in 4990 B.C. Seven thousand years later is May 21, 2011.
As for Camping, this is not the first of his ‘end of days’ predictions. ABC news reported Camping having predicted the apocalypse before: Sept. 6, 1994. But Camping had been “thrown off a correct calculation
In New York’s Times Square the faithful are wearing doomsday T-shirts, clutching bibles and passing out pamphlets with numerological proofs of the apocalypse.  While the  New York Times is featuring a front page article  about a family who traveled to the city to spread the word.
The hosts of the popular television program, The View, weighed in on the predictions, joking  and measuring their own place in the rapture.
