A Christian organization is predicting the end of the world on Wednesday – over a week after doomsday forecasts were proven wrong during the recent blood moon.
The Guardian reports that “the eBible Fellowship, an online affiliation headquartered near Philadelphia, has based its prediction of an October obliteration on a previous claim that the world would end on 21 May 2011. While that claim proved to be false, the organization is confident it has the correct date this time.”
Chris McCann, the leader and founder of the fellowship, told an online gathering that: “According to what the Bible is presenting it does appear that 7 October will be the day that God has spoken of: in which, the world will pass away,” adding: “It’ll be gone forever. Annihilated.”
According to McCann’s interpretation of the Bible, the world will be destroyed “with fire.”
God destroyed the first earth with water, by a flood, in the days of Noah. And he says he’ll not do that again, not by water. But he does say in 2nd Peter 3 that he’ll destroy it by fire.
According to The Guardian:
The expectation of the world ending this fall stems from an earlier prediction by Harold Camping, a Christian radio host who was based in California. In 2011 Camping used his radio station, Family Radio, to notify people that the world would end on 21 May of that year. When that turned out to be incorrect, Camping revised his prediction to October 2011. That also turned out to be incorrect, and Camping retired from public life soon after. He died in 2013, at age 93.
The Guardian goes on to report that, although McCann is confident his prediction is correct, he is leaving room for error, saying that: ““There’s a strong likelihood that this will happen – which means there’s an unlikely possibility that it will not.”
