Harold Camping made multiple false predictions of the return of Christ. He would have been in trouble if he had lived during Old Testament times.

Among the most prolific modern predictors of end times, Harold Camping publicly predicted the end of the world as many as 12 times based on his interpretations of biblical numerology.

In 1992, he published a book ominously titled “1994?”, which predicted the end of the world sometime around that year.

His most high-profile prediction was for May 21, 2011, calculated to be exactly 7,000 years after the Biblical flood. 

When that date passed without incident, he adjusted his math and pushed back the end of the world to October 21, 2011.
