Judgment Day occurred one year ago today, according to the predictions of Harold Camping of Family Radio in Oakland, CA. In a national advertising campaign, his ministry aggressively promoted a prophecy that the Rapture would occur on May 21, 2011, with the final judgment of God falling six months after.
When his May 21 Rapture prediction failed, Camping held a press conference in which he confessed to a little bafflement. But he asserted that the Rapture had taken place "spiritually", and that the end of the world should still be on track for October 21. Not long after that prediction, too, failed, Camping suffered a stroke and has been out of public view since.
