"God has humbled us through the events of May 21, to continue to even more fervently search the Scriptures (the Bible), not to find dates, but to be more faithful in our understanding," said Family Radio in 2012 in a statement. Whether God will ever give us any indication of the date of His return is hidden in God's divine plan."

Thousands of listeners of Camping's radio show around the world believed him and many sold all their possessions, emptied their bank accounts and prepared for the rapture.Ī longtime employee of Family Radio Matt Tuter had told The Christian Post in 2011 that an estimated $100 million was spent to advertise the May 21 end times date.
