mentioned in an answer above, is the guy Im talking about. I see hes got the 1994 Camping prediction also.-This date has been proposed as the date of the Rapture.This is when all christians are taken to heaven, leaving non-believers (such as myself) here on the Earth to suffer 7 years of Tribulation,......
The most famous case I know of is "The Great Disappointment of 1844" when another evangelical preacher did exactly the same thing, and also, like Camping, persuaded a bunch of his followers to believe him. They sold all their possessions and waited on top of a mountain to be taken up. Surprise!
That guy also did several subsequent calculations, and like Camping had followers believing in him right to the end. Though a certain number wanted to lynch him after the first one.
Edit: I think that William Miller, mentioned in an answer above, is the guy I'm talking about. I see he's got the 1994 Camping prediction also.

This date has been proposed as the date of the Rapture. This is when all christians are taken to heaven, leaving non-believers (such as myself) here on the Earth to suffer 7 years of Tribulation, followed (or preceded) by the 2nd coming of Christ.
Some notable rapture predictions include the following:
1844 - William Miller predicted Christ would return between March 21, 1843 and March 21, 1844, then revised his prediction, claiming to have miscalculated Scripture, to October 22, 1844. The realization that the predictions were incorrect resulted in a Great Disappointment. Miller's theology gave rise to the Advent movement. The Baha'is believe that Christ did return as Miller predicted in
1844, with the advent of The Báb, and numerous Miller-like prophetic predictions from many religions are given in William Sears book, Thief in The Night.
1914, 1918, 1925, 1942 and 1975 - Dates set for the end by the Jehovah's Witnesses
1981 - Chuck Smith predicted that Jesus would probably return by 1981.
1988 - Publication of 88 Reasons why the Rapture is in 1988, by Edgar C. Whisenant.
1989 - Publication of The final shout: Rapture report 1989, by Edgar Whisenant. More predictions by this author appeared for 1992, 1995, and other years.
1992 - Korean group "Mission for the Coming Days" predicted October 28, 1992 as the date for the rapture.
1993 - Seven years before the year 2000. The rapture would have to start to allow for seven years of the Tribulation before the Return in 2000. Multiple predictions.
1994 - Pastor John Hinkle of Christ Church in Los Angeles predicted June 9, 1994. Radio evangelist Harold Camping predicted September 27, 1994.
2011 - Harold Camping's revised prediction has May 21, 2011 as the date of the rapture.
2060 - Sir Isaac Newton proposed, based upon his calculations using figures from the book of Daniel, that the Apocalypse could happen no earlier than 2060.
