Harold Camping, a preacher from Oakland, California, is predicting the Second Coming of the Lord. On May 21st, at about 6pm, he reckons 2 per cent of the world's population will be immediately "raptured" to Heaven; the rest of us will get sent straight to the Other Place. After 70 years of studying the Bible, he claims to have developed a system that uses mathematics to interpret prophesies hidden in it.
He says the world will end on 21 May, because that will be 722,500 days from 1 April AD 33, which he believes was the day of the Crucifixion. The figure of 722,500 is important because you get it by multiplying three holy numbers (five, 10 and 17) together twice. "When I found this out, I tell you, it blew my mind," he said.
