EU Times:  A 14-year-old girl from the Republic of Mari El in central Russia has committed suicide, allegedly because she was afraid of the upcoming doomsday predicted by the American Radio preacher Harold Camping.  Nastya Zachinova believed the news that the world would end on May 21, her family told the tabloid LifeNews.  The once lively teenager became angst and withdrawn.  On the Saturday in which the rapture had been predicted to start, she committed suicide after returning home from school.  Her personal diary shows she was terrified of the perils of the apocalypse, which she believed humanity was about to endure.  "We are not righteous; only the righteous will go to heaven and we'll stay on earth and face terrible suffering," one of the entries says.  A farewell text message says she didn't want to die with everyone else and would take her life in advance.  "She took this date too close to heart," Nastya's mother Lyudmila told the tabloid.  Harold Camping and his supporters launched a world-wide campaign to inform humanity about the upcoming rapture, the date of which he predicted based on a series of convoluted calculations taken from the Bible.  A few adds promoting his message were put on billboards in Russia as well.  After the prediction proved false, Camping recanted his original claim, stating that the end of the world will now come in October.  

My Comments:  First, "Harold" "Camping" needs to "hush" his mouth and "camp" out somewhere else besides a radio station.  What a tragic situation for this poor child.  Second, Mr. Camping camps out at his radio station preaching, preaching, preaching, but I wonder if he has actually comprehended anything he has ever read in the Bible, obviously not.  If this man knew the Word of God, as he proclaims, he would know that Jesus Himself said in Mark 13:32 "No man knows of that day and that hour, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son (Jesus Himself), but only the Father (God) knows."  What is it about "no man knows the day or hour" that Harold Camping doesn't get!  God doesn't want us to know and He made it very clear we will not know the day or hour.  We will know when it is close, by the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, but not the day or hour.  In fact, the apostle Paul said in I Thessalonians 5:2, "You know perfectly that the day of the Lord will come as a 'thief in the night.'"  Third, this guy, Harold Camping, is a false prophet and no one should listen to him.  The Bible tells us that a prophet's "words will not fall to the ground," meaning every word that a prophet says will come true.  Samuel was a true prophet of God and the Bible says that "The Lord was with him (Samuel) and did not let any of his 'words fall to the ground,'" I Samuel 3:19.  This is a prophet; Harold Camping is not a prophet.  In fact, I will go further than that.  Either we are inspired by God, or the devil, there is no middle ground.  Jesus will return and I believe He is coming very soon, but the message has to be one not of "doomsday," but of "get ready for the coming of the Lord, He loves you and He doesn't want you to suffer eternally."  This child in Russia obviously had the fear of God and she didn't deny Jesus.  In fact, she took her own life because she believed and was afraid, but she didn't know how to respond.  I believe Jesus met this child on her way out and she's much better off than Harold Camping right now!
