Here it is
I think this may be based on Thessalonians
You make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
Then I soar like a bird in the wind
Oh I glide like I'm flying through heaven
Sure beats Jesus on the clouds

This idiot is still on the loose however:
John Hagee - 10 Signs we are the Final Generation
John Hagee - The Great Tribulation 1
John Hagee - The Great Tribulation 2
No fixed date from Hagee, but his predictions are shown to be false after this 'generation' passes away without the world ending. That wipes out an even larger section of the population then any of the Camping crowd.

Any word from Camping himself???
Kinda sad the way this dumbass has wasted his life with this crap yet he still has not figured that out...Although this is Camping’s second failed prediction this year, a source familiar with the preacher said he has predicted the end of the world 12 times. His first prediction of the end of times apparently dates back to 1978.

It just goes to show that the bible does not provide any valid evidence for either the beginning nor end of the world. With enough time most people will probably start catching on to that in future "generations" ahead...

Ha, ha, ha, all the way to the bank. This report is from back in May.
Doomsday church: Still open for business

By Annalyn Censky @CNNMoney May 19, 2011: 3:23 PM ET
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- By now, you've probably heard of the religious group that's predicting the end of the world starts this weekend.
Harold Camping and his devoted followers claim a massive earthquake will mark the second coming of Jesus, or so-called Judgment Day on Saturday, May 21, ushering in a five month period of catastrophes before the world comes to a complete end in October.
At the center of it all, Camping's organization, Family Radio, is perfectly happy to take your money -- and in fact, received $80 million in contributions between 2005 and 2009. Camping founded Family Radio, a nonprofit Christian radio network based in Oakland, Calif. with about 65 stations across the country, in 1958.
But not even all of his own employees are convinced that the world is ending on Saturday.
In fact, many still plan on showing up at work on Monday.
"I don't believe in any of this stuff that's going on, and I plan on being here next week," a receptionist at their Oakland headquarters told CNNMoney.
A program producer in Illinois told us, "We're going to continue doing what we're doing."
According to their most recent IRS filings, Family Radio is almost entirely funded by donations, and brought in $18 million in contributions in 2009 alone.
Take a look at Family Radio's IRS filings
According to those financial documents, accountants put the total worth of Family Radio (referred to as Family Stations on its official forms) at $72 million.
With those kind of financials -- and controversial beliefs -- it's no wonder skeptics have accused the group of running a scam.
Camping first inaccurately predicted the world would end in 1994. Even so, he has gathered even more followers -- some who have given up their homes, entire life savings and their jobs because they believe the world is ending.
Esther, the receptionist in the Oakland office, said some of her most extreme coworkers have recently driven up in fancy cars or taken their families on nice vacations as a last hurrah.
But overall, she estimates about 80% of her coworkers don't even agree with Camping's May 21 forecast. She has stuck to her work as usual, booking appointments and filling up calendars for her coworkers well beyond the May 21 date.
Meanwhile, some employees are questioning the meaning of Harold Camping's goodbye letter sent to the Family Radio mailing list last week. While he says farewell, he encourages employees to "steadfastly continue to stand with us to proclaim the Gospel through Family Radio."
Could that mean he plans on disappearing, but the company should still go about its business as usual?
Read Harold Camping's goodbye letter
The producer in Illinois said, "We're trying to guess what it means for the company. Our producers have programs done through the end of the month, so we're not looking at that having any effect on the work."
Also curious is why Family Radio requested an extension to file their nonprofit paperwork. The group is required to submit financial documents in many of the states where they solicit donations, and in Minnesota they requested an extension from their July 15 deadline to November 15.
July 15th was already well past their Judgment Day prediction -- when they say believers will ascend to heaven -- so why bother requesting an extension to November?
But Family Radio's financial filings otherwise look hardly unusual for a religious nonprofit.
"At first glance, it looks like they have a lot of assets, but they actually don't have a lot of cash that they're stockpiling," said Laurie Styron, analyst with the American Institute of Philanthropy.
Most of the group's net worth is tied up in FCC broadcasting licenses, valued at $56 million. Family Radio claimed it held only $1.5 million in cash on its books at the end of 2009.
The paperwork shows Camping has so far, never taken a penny for his own salary, but Family Radio has plenty of other paid employees.
The nonprofit employed about 350 people and paid them a collective $8.3 million -- or roughly $23,000 per person -- in 2009.
What the 2009 IRS filings don't show, is how the organization's donations and expenses may have changed during 2010 and leading up to the May 21 Judgment Day prediction.
In the last few months, Family Radio billboards have popped up across the country. And the group purchased RVs to drive around the country on its evangelizing missions.
Those expenses could have changed their financial picture, but since Family Radio doesn't have to turn in their next IRS filing until November, it may not even matter.
"If people donating to this group think the world is ending on Saturday, then I'm not sure that they care," Styron said.

Re: What will Harold Camping say after May 21, 2011 when the Rapture doesn't occur?
Is there anything new happening with Harold or his organization? I'm interested in news dated after October 21st.
And more than anything I'd like to see YouTube videos of some of the believers that were recorded in the months leading up to May 21, 2011. There were quite a few people that gave up all they owned to follow Harold into the wild blue yonder and now those people are somewhere thinking something. I'd like to hear what they have to say today.

Re: What will Harold Camping say after May 21, 2011 when the Rapture doesn't occur?
I'm also interested in that information. As to what what Camping himself is doing, here's a transcript of a radio statement he made on 10/28/11, a week after the big non-event.
The title of that article is "Family Radio Founder Harold Camping Repents, Apologizes for False Teachings." Other news outlets picked up this statement as an apology. But as Camping's statement is analyzed in the article below, Daniel Silliman doesn't detect anything like an apology or repentance.Why didn't Christ return on Oct. 21? It seems embarrassing for Family Radio. But God was in charge of everything. We came to that conclusion after quite careful study of the Bible. He allowed everything to happen the way it did without correction. He could have stopped everything if He had wanted to.
...Sometimes He gives us the truth and sometimes He gives us something that causes us to wait further upon Him.

Harold Camping did not repent. He is not sorry. He did not apologize, or say, even, that he was wrong.
...This isn’t just not an apology, it’s a statement that, in a very real way, it’s not even possible for Camping to have been wrong. He is, in a sense, hermetically sealed against error, since even when he was wrong, that too was from God. God gives truth, which Camping relays, and God gives lies, which Camping also relays. But they aren’t lies, exactly, but a method of teaching God uses.
