    Tucson's Bill Maupin, 1981: Rapture on August 7, Then 'the Whole Earth Is Burned by Fire by May 14, 1988'

    His first rapture date, June 28, 1981, fizzled. He said God showed him he had left out the 40 days Noah's Ark took to land. The new date fizzled too, and so did 1988.

    The Whole Earth Burns by Fire by May 14, 1988 · Bill Maupin (head of the Lighthouse Gospel Tract Foundation, Tucson, Arizona)

    Deadline set: May 14, 1988 · status: Busted

    Bold words to say out loud on a Thursday.
