Photo by @NearNortheastDC.It looks like the incredibly specific End of Days advertising campaign by Oakland, California-based Family Radio Worldwide has finally made its way to the District, appearing on, of all things, a Metrobus. (Insert your own joke about how riding a Metro vehicle can often make one wish that the world would end here.)
Our sister site LAist first noticed the ads late last month, and discovered that Family Radio believes that there is a precise time that the Rapture will occur:
Yesterday, KPCC’s Patt Morrison spoke with Harold Camping from Family Radio, who explained that his group’s research offered “proofs and signs from the Bible” that “judgment will be finalized” for the believers and non-believers in Jesus, and that process will take five months, culminating in the ultimate end of everything on October 21st. “We’ve come to the end of everything,” says Camping.
For those who are hoping to put a time down with their save the date, Camping says it’s going to happen at 6 p.m. However, when Morrison asked if he meant 6 p.m. Pacific, or Greenwich Mean Time, he instead explained that the events would take 24 hours and start in one place and move through other regions (perhaps signaling that in order to best accommodate the initial judgment activities, one should really clear the whole day).
So, you know, be sure to put all of that on your calendar. Representatives from Family Radio Worldwide are apparently in D.C. right now as part of their “caravan” tour of the country — has anyone seen them around town?
