Harold Camping, a well-known radio broadcaster and president of Family Radio, made headlines in the months leading up to May 21, 2011, when he claimed that the Rapture, the second coming of Christ, would take place on this date. Camping and his followers derived their prediction from specific interpretations of biblical texts, particularly from the Book of Revelation. The prediction suggested that on this day, true believers would be taken to heaven, while the rest of humanity would face divine judgment. Camping's forecast was backed by extensive promotional campaigns, including billboards placed across the United States and other countries, which attracted both followers and skeptics alike.Leading up to the fateful date, many of Camping's followers sold their possessions, distributed their wealth, and prepared for what they believed to be the end of the world. Various events and gatherings were organized globally, fueled by a mix of excitement, fear, and curiosity. As the anticipated day approached, media outlets extensively covered the unfolding situation, capturing the diverse reactions of people - from believers to skeptics. Social media also played a crucial role in disseminating information about the prediction and debate over its validity. When May 21 came and went without any of Camping's predicted events occurring, disbelief and disappointment swept through his followers. This profound letdown drew public attention to Camping's earlier predictions, including his previous failed forecast for 1994. After the date passed without incident, Camping acknowledged that he had miscalculated and stated that the Rapture would instead occur later in the year. Ultimately, this prediction was also proven false. Camping’s failed prophecy raised questions about the phenomenon of doomsday predictions and the psychology of belief among followers.
