End of the world is now October 21 - US preacher explains his mistake

The American preacher who said that the end of the world, and day of Rapture, was on May 21, 2011, has now explained why it didn't happen.

And, he says, it has been postponed until October 21, because God didn't want mankind to suffer for five months.

Harold Camping, 89, said he was "astounded" that the world didn't end on May 21.

But he has examined new theories and says a great earthquake was supposed to usher in five months of the day of judgement. God, he says, is being merciful and will now make it happen all at once on the last day - hence October 21.

That's all very comforting - I now have five months to sort out my garden.
