The leader of a small group outside Philadelphia has predicted that the world will be annihilated today.

“It’ll be gone forever. Annihilated,” founder of eBibleFellowship Chris McCann told the Guardian, basing his prediction on his biblical readings.

In 2011, Harold Camping, president of the Family Radio Network, drew enormous attention when he predicted that the world would end in a series of rolling earthquakes known as “The Rapture.” After an initial prediction of May 21, Camping pushed The End back to Oct. 21. Then he decided to stop making predictions and resigned from his position.

Camping did name dates, but he was more careful than he was portrayed in some stories. Camping warned his followers that his predictions could be wrong and told them not to sell their belongings.
