美國某宗教組織領(lǐng)袖近日大肆向人們宣傳，稱今年5月21日為世界的“審判日”，屆時將發(fā)生特大地震，地球末日隨之來臨。他制作的大型廣告牌上寫著“圣經(jīng)保證“本周末會是毀滅日。他聲稱，此次末日浩劫將從一場地震開始，屆時相信他的人們會立刻進(jìn)入極樂世界，而對他的預(yù)言不屑一顧的人們則會面臨5個月的悲慘經(jīng)歷直到10月份世界徹底毀滅。這位領(lǐng)袖表示，5月21日這個日子是他對圣經(jīng)中記載的大事件的日期進(jìn)行系統(tǒng)計算后得出的結(jié)論，他找到的最早紀(jì)錄為公元前4990年發(fā)生的大洪災(zāi)。這位領(lǐng)袖此前曾預(yù)言地球會在1994年毀滅，不過后來表示是計算有誤。

Billboards advertising our impending doom boldly claim that the "Bible guarantees" destruction this weekend. |
Say goodbye to your loved ones, repent your sins and enjoy your last few days on earth because, if a US Christian group is to be believed, the world will end this Saturday.
Howard Camping, a minister and the president of US conservative group Family Radio, has started a campaign proclaiming that Judgment Day will happen on May 21 2011.
Billboards advertising our impending doom boldly claim that the "Bible guarantees" destruction this weekend.
Mr Camping said that the beginning of the end will start with an earthquake, and that while believers will be instantly raptured, those dismissive of his claims will face five months of misery on Earth before the end of the world in October.
He said: "On May 21, there's going to be a terrific earthquake way, way greater than anything else the Earth has ever experienced and that will be the beginning of Judgment Day.
"The rest of the world will know instantly that Judgment Day has begun because all of the earthquake sensors will pick that up instantly."
Mr Camping said that he determined May 21 as the Day of Judgment after calculating various dates from past biblical events, starting with the great flood, that he believed, happened in 4990 BC.
It is not the first time that the minister has made an apocalyptic prediction. He has previously claimed the world would end in 1994, but puts this error down to a miscalculation.
While some people may decide to spend what could be their last day with family or friends, Mr Camping said he will be watching the destruction unfold and praying for non-believers.
