Steve lays out the May 21, 2011 date calculation
- How did Harold Camping arrive at May 21, 2011 as the date of Judgment Day?
Asked to condense the case for May 21 into a few minutes, Steve presents Harold Camping's biblical numerology: the Bible speaks in figures and similitudes; Genesis 7:4 gives Noah seven days before the flood; Psalm 90:4 makes a day as a thousand years; expanding seven days to 7,000 years from the flood lands on 2011, with May 21 as the 17th day of the second month (the flood's anniversary date). He acknowledges the argument is 'built on a lot of other information' but calls it simple to understand.
