President of Family Radio, and host of his show "Open Forum." He is notorious for his frequent predictions of the rapture, that so far have not been fulfilled. His most recent prediction was in 2011, where he promised that 200 million believers would be taken to heaven, while the rest of the
world's population would be left on earth to witness the end of the
world. He had predicted that earthquakes would begin at
6 PM on Christmas island and would continue until the end of the
world on October 21, 2011, where the
world would be completely destroyed by a
ball of
fire. When the rapture failed to occur on the said day, he "moved" the date of the rapture to October 21, saying that the previous date had been a "spiritual" rapture, and that the real rapture would occur on October 21, 2011, complete with the simotaneous destruction of the world. Unfortunatly, his previous failed prediction
will likely ruin his credibility. He had previously predicted the rapture to occur early in 1994.
