Interview wrap: the 1994 miscalculation, May 22nd, and 1 Thessalonians 5
- What do you do on May 22nd if the rapture does not happen?
Wrapping up, the hosts ask about Camping's earlier 1994 prediction — Steve calls it a miscalculation but insists there is now sufficient biblical proof that May 21 is it. They press what changes on May 22, and whether believing the date becomes a works-test of being on God's good terms. Steve appeals to 1 Thessalonians 5:3 ('peace and safety') and Daniel 12:4 ('in the time of the end, knowledge shall be increased'), arguing believers in the light can know the season even though 'no one will know the date or the time' is the usual objection. The hosts thank Steve and sign off the interview.
