IT'S time to batten down the hatches one more time and prepare for yet another Doomsday - next week, in fact - according to the pastor who previously incorrectly predicted the world would end May 21.

This time 90-year-old Harold Camping has set the positively final date for October 21 and says it won't be pretty.

"The whole world, with the exception of those who are presently saved (the elect) are under the judgment of God and will be annihilated together with the whole physical world on October 21, 2011," he says on his website, FamilyRadio.com.

Camping, who suffered a mild stroke last June shortly after his May Doomsday prediction failed to materialise, previously claimed the world would end in 1994.

His explanation for the faulty spring deadline, according to the website, is that God's salvation program ended that day and for the next five months everyone was under final judgment.
