What will these Christians do after May 21st 2011?
Well, some of them donated everything they had to me and transferred all their money to my bank account, because the world was going to end for them. I'm a rich man now, but what do you think they will do after May 21st 2011?

Learn from it Hopefully They don't understand that Camping conveniently ignores the second half of 2 Peter 3:8, “and a thousand years as one day.” Further, 2 Peter 3:8 is not providing a method for dating the end times. Rather, 2 Peter 3:8 is simply saying that God is above and beyond time. God is timeless, infinite, and eternal. Second, nothing in the context of Genesis 7:4-11 indicates that the “seven days” and “seventeenth day of the second month” are to be interpreted as applying to anything other than what God was specifically saying to Noah. Third, the Flood being dated to 4990 B.C. is speculative at best, with no explicit biblical evidence. Camping’s calculation of May 21, 2011, falls apart with even the most basic biblical scrutiny. Now, is it possible that Jesus is coming back on May 21, 2011? Yes, but it is just as possible that He will come back on any other date. Does Harold Camping’s particular dating methodology have any biblical validity? No, it does not. Assuming that Jesus does not return on or before May 21, 2011, Camping and others will surely calculate new future dates and will attempt to explain away mistakes by “errors in the formula” or something to that effect.
The key points are (1) the Bible nowhere encourages us to attempt to discover the timing of Jesus’ return, and (2) the Bible gives no explicit data by which the timing of Jesus’ return can be determined. Rather than developing wild and speculative calculations to determine when Jesus is coming back, the Bible encourages us to “keep watch” and “be ready” (Matthew 24:42-44). The fact that the day of Jesus’ return is unknown is what should motivate us to live every day in light of the imminence of Christ’s return.

In the bible it says that if the prophet is fake the first time by one person it will never be right even if predicted again.This person who predicted may 21st has predicted the world will end in 1994 that means he is always going to be wrong.

They'll wait for Camping's dumba** to make up another date. Im soo confused as of how people believe him this is like the second time hes said the world will end and people still believe him.
Source(s): a sane mind. - ToddLv 71 decade ago
They will wait for Harold Camping to come out with his "revised" calculations for the next End of the World prediction. They will hang on his every word, and send him more of their money.

I think I'll make some T-shirts to sell that says "I survived May 21, 2011" and see how they sell. :)

My theory is that when they find out that it didn't happen, the ones that lost everything would go into hiding, trying to show the world that it did happen.

I will hopefully be sitting here and telling people who ask about God what I've learned about God. I might be doing that after that date, and after September as well.
