Family Radio evangelist Harold Camping is certain “Judgment Day” is coming this Saturday, May 21. On that day, Jesus will return to earth and set into motion a five-month count down to the end of the world.

Get it now? If not, Camping will further explain it to you: “Five times 10 times 17 is telling you a story. It’s the story from the time Christ made payment for your sins until you’re completely saved.”
“I tell ya, I just about fell off my chair when I realized that,” he said.
