"We don't always hit the nail on the head the first time," said the onetime civil engineer turned preacher Harold Camping.

In fact, Saturday was the second time the Family Radio Christian broadcaster had been wrong about the apocalypse arriving. From his broadcast pulpit on Monday night, he offered an explanation.

"It was not a judgment day that was visible," said Camping. "It was an invisible judgment day."

Camping said non-believers are on notice again. Instead of perishing in plagues and quakes and other scourges over five months time, it will happen all at once on the last day October 21st.

"At that time, the whole world will be destroyed," said Camping. And so this is why we don't have to talk about this anymore."

But questions aren't so easily quashed. Some believers sold everything.

KTVU asked Camping what advice he would give followers who may have given up everything they have. He declined to take any responsibility for the actions of others.

"Please understand; we don't advise anybody to do anything," said Camping.

When asked how many millions the rapture campaign raised, Camping said he really didn't know. However, when KTVU asked Camping if he planned to return the money now that the rapture didn't take place, he said no.

"It was given to get the gospel out, and we're spending it as wisely as possible," said Camping. "And maybe by October 21, we might only have ten dollars left."

The questions posed by members of the press caused some defensiveness among his staff.

"You want to blame him now, even though you are the ones [who are] duplicitous in this as well," said Family Radio supporter Bob Evans

And then Camping said this, "This will be my last interview with the press."

With that, Camping ended the often rambling 90-minute event. He said he did not want to be bothered with any more doomsday questions.

Camping also said that this time around, he won't advertise on billboards or publicize the new date.
