Judgement Day: May 21, 2011

According to Harold Camping of Family Radio, May 21, 2011 marks judgement day and the day of the rapture. If you have not been following the news or not seen the billboards, this is the message that is being broadcasted:





Family Radio is a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading the word of God according to the Christian bible. I do not agree or disagree with this bold statement, but it has been stated in the same bible Camping is quoting from,  that the end of days is only known to God. 


I am always interested in the numerology of certain dates of interests. The numerology of May 21, 2011 is as follows. May 21st is a three. The number three symbolizes love and affection. This is a number that represents people, family life, social contracts, expression, intellect, entertainment, hopes, wishes, and joy. This is a day of communication and force; if used positively, success and achievement will occur, if not, talents will be scattered and an individual can become careless. Jupiter is the planet equivalent to the number three. Jupiter represents good fortune/luck, success, fame, material comforts, and happiness. 


2012, 5/21, 11/2011, there is always something going on and at times stories like this provide distraction to more important things. 


I always find it interesting that mankind is always searching for the end and glorifying destruction. Why don't we have any sensationalist stories about the end of war, famine, poverty and the beginning of peace, happiness, and love? I would think that negativity sells more than positivity. 


If the world did end tomorrow, would you be satisfied with the way you have been living your life?
