Evangelist says Rapture date was off by five months

(RNS) Radio evangelist Harold Camping, who predicted the Rapture would
occur on May 21, now says his calculations were off by five months.

The 89-year-old president of the Family Radio network in Oakland,
Calif., said life on Earth will continue until October 21.

"At that time the whole world will be destroyed," Camping said
Monday (May 24) in a broadcast and news conference. "God had not opened
our eyes yet to the fact that May 21 was a spiritual coming, whereas we
had thought that it was a physical coming. But he has come. He has come
in a sense that he now has the world under judgment."
