Apocalypse not right now: 'Rapture' end of world fails to materialise
Reports of the end of the world appeared to have been exaggerated today.
Inhabitants of New Zealand, scheduled to be among the first to meet the
apocalypse according to a US fundamentalist preacher, this morning confirmed
they were still in existence as the appointed time was reached in their time
zone.
There were also unconfirmed reports that Tonga has, thus far, failed to boil
into the Pacific.
Eighty-nine-year-old tele-evangelist Harold Camping had prophesied that the
“Rapture” would begin with powerful earthquakes at 6pm in each of the world’s
regions, after which the good would be beamed up to heaven.
This morning, Kiwis confirmed there were no signs of the dead rising from the
grave, nor of the living ascending into the clouds to meet Jesus Christ.
Twitter users were disappointed by the absence of Armaggedon.
Daniel Boerman said on Twitter, the micro-blogging website: “I’m from New
Zealand, it is 6.06pm, the world has NOT ended. No earthquakes here, all
waiting for the Rapture can relax for now.”
Gavin Middleton wrote: “Well it’s 13 minutes past the Rapture here in New
Zealand. I’m still holding out hope for the trumpet call and the firey
rain...”
Similarly, on the Pacific islands whose clocks ticked over to 6pm before the
fateful hour hit New Zealand, there was no evidence of a “super horror story”
predicted by Camping - no zombies,
no true believers hurtling skywards, no arch-angels and no trumpeters.
A post on Godlike Productions, a website dedicated to conspiracy theories and
UFOs, reported that Tonga, which reached 6pm one hour before New Zealand, was
“still on the map”.
Likewise, no reports of chaos were heard from Christmas Island in Kiribati,
where the super-earthquake was set to hit first.
Two minor earthquakes did hit the Pacific earlier in the day, measuring 3.1
and 4.8 and not triggering any tsunami warnings, but earthquakes of that
magnitude are a regular occurrence in the region.
Vicky Hyde, spokesman for the New Zealand Skeptic Society said she was
confident the Rapture was not imminent.
“These kind of predictions come up particularly in times of economic or social
uncertainty - which is pretty much almost every year actually, you can track
them, whether it’s commentary impacts or the rapture or giant space aliens or
something.
“And the only thing they have in common is they are all wrong,” she said.
Camping spread his message of doom via Family Radio, which has a network of
66 radio stations and online broadcasts.
After today’s day of reckoning, he said non-believers would suffer through
hell on earth until October 21, when God would pull the plug on the planet
once and for all.
But after incorrectly predicting the end of the world in 1994, Camping’s
prophecies have been met with derision. And it seems this time he was wrong
again.
New York mayor Michael Bloomberg - who is Jewish and, according to Camping’s
prophecy, therefore unlikely to be beamed up to sit alongside Jesus in heaven
- said on his weekly radio show yesterday that he would partially suspend
parking restrictions in New York if the world ended today.
David Speer, on Twitter, said: “Oh well no rapture. Just as well. New Zealand
didn’t need that right now. Another delay to the filming of The Hobbit
would’ve been terrible.”
