The absolutely guaranteed end of the world dates through history to today
2011 AD—On May 21st, the rapture will occur at the end of the 8400-day great tribulation. NO ONE will become saved from eternal damnation after Friday, May 21, 2011.
After I was born from above in 1983I watched TBN regularly and learned that their were 3 theories on the timing of the “rapture” and that it would happen in the year 2000 + or -7 yrs. Fortunately for me within a week of getting saved a 70 yr old, 50 yr Christian was brought into my life. He had just written and published a 1000 copies of his book entitled, “Charting Last Day Prophecy-by Searching the Scripture” a 220 page book that he gave away to anyone interested. With his help I became aware that scripture contained the answers and to compare the Word with what I was hearing on TBN. In spite of that grounding, I got sucked into believing that the year 2000 had to be the 2nd coming. I would laugh at the 88 reasons why Jesus would return in 1988 (and see I was right) but held onto the yr 2000. Since I didn't and don't buy into the “Jesus could return at any moment” doctrine (there are certain events that must happen first) as 2000 drew closer I realized that I should not continue to pass on that prediction. As this article points out, date setting is nothing but a guess. Some deserve consideration and others make for amusement. I ask myself how is it possible for a person like John Hinkle and others to think that they had a vision from God when the whole event is false(vanity)?
I know people who thought the world was coming to an end in 2000. They sold their tech stocks early in 1999 and bought hard gold for the insane price of $300 or so per ounce in preparation of the anticipated "end of the world" and Y2K. They seem like geniuses now. They may have been misled, but they were blessed.

Harold Camping gets the most words in edgewise on this chart. Of course. And his first three books on the subject all ended in a question mark.
