Family Radio Gets $1 Million Offer for 66 Stations

A Bible teaching ministry is offering Family Radio $1 million to purchase its entire network of 66 stations in the U.S. A Bible Answer said it would assume ownership the day after October 21, Harold Camping's new date for Doomsday, according to a story by Katherine P. Phan, at The Christian Post.

Richard Myers, the administrator of abibleanswer.org, said his group is proposing to take possession of Family Radio stations on Oct. 22 since the radio preacher would not need them after the rapture and End of the World. Camping is president of Family Radio.

"After taking the money of his supporters, let Harold give up all he has to show he believes what he is preaching. He does not or else he would sell," Myers wrote on the website.

A Bible Answer originally made the $1 million bid for Family Stations in February, three months before Camping's predicted May 21 Rapture date. At that time, the ministry offered to take over the stations beginning May 22 and said it was actually "paying much more than the station is worth since it will have no value in less than three months."

In defending his May 21, 2011, prediction, the 89-year-old broadcaster said Monday that the "judgment did come" but it was "spiritual" instead of physical.

"We had all of the dates correct. We didn't change anything at all. All the proofs, all the signs are correct. The only thing is that God has not opened our eyes yet that May 21 was the spiritual coming where as we had thought it was a physical coming but he has come in a sense that he now has the world under judgment," said Camping.

According to the radio preacher, October 21 will be the date of Doomsday, the date when the world will be literally destroyed and when those who are saved will rapture to heaven.
