Many people believe the End of the world is coming. Some believe that a specific date or year can be predicted for when it will happen. A popular contemporary theory, based on interpretation of the ancient Mayan calendar, predicts that the world will end sometime in the year 2012. And as of this writing, Christian radio broadcaster and Family Radio president Harold Camping is predicting that the Rapture will be on May 21, 2011 and that God will completely destroy the Earth and the universe five months later on October 21, 2011.

Don’t misunderstand me, with the way things have been going no one is more ready than I am for it to happen. And while I know it will happen soon, both of the above predictions are wrong.
My top reason why specific End Time predictions are wrong is that the ‘End’ has already happened and we’re all living in Hell. But seriously, here are the main reasons why End Time predictions are wrong, and right…
Why specific End Time predictions are wrong:
Jesus was asked for details on when the end of the world will happen and he was very sketchy about the whole thing, alluding mainly to ‘signs of when he will return’. However, regarding a specific prediction of exactly when he will return (and by extension, the End of this world as we know it will also happen) he said: "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.” -Matthew 24:36
Why non-specific End Time predictions are right
Jesus would not give a specific date or timeframe as to when the End would come, but he was very clear that it Will come when he said: “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. -Matthew 24:37-39
