Luckily, the prediction turned out to be false and the world survived to see another day. And of course, surviving death must be celebrated with a party! This year, let’s mark yet another year of survival by partying hard on Rapture Party Day.
History of Rapture Party Day
While the concept of Rapture and the end of the world has existed since the ascension of Jesus Christ, there is no accurate date as to when the world will end. However, over time several people have stepped forward to make predictions of their own. One such prediction was made in 2001 by a radio host of the Family Radio Christian network, Harold Camping. According to Camping, he had figured out the day on which both the Rapture and Judgment Day would take place. He also went on to explain that he had calculated the dates after a thorough analysis, and May 11 was to be Rapture Day.
This was to be followed by five months of destruction and plagues before Judgment Day finally occurs on October 11. He also stated that millions will die daily and the sinners will suffer. While the prediction may seem unbelievable, many believed in what Camping had to say. Many of his followers sold their possessions and began to do good to save their souls. A retired subway worker, also spent $140,000 of his retirement savings on billboards to spread the news of the upcoming Rapture.
However, when the day arrived, nothing happened. The world didn’t change and there was no destruction. From that day onwards, Camping and his predictions became a joke. May 21 on the other hand became a popular party date where people just dance the night away!
