Only on Twitter did the supposed Armageddon sweep the world, with users expressing their mock disappointment at the lack of dead people rising from their graves.
New Zealander Daniel Boerman tweeted: "I'm from New Zealand, it is 6:06PM, the world has NOT ended. No earthquakes here, all waiting for the rapture can relax for now. #Rapture"
In Australia, Jon Gall of Melbourne was unimpressed by the lack of fire and brimstone. He tweeted: "#Rapture time here in Melbourne. A rather quiet sort of rapture if you ask me.
"Well we have had the #Rapture going for 50 minutes now. So far it hasn't interrupted my fish & chips and glass of stout."
In Brisbane, KillaJeules, was similarly disappointed by the lack of a Hollywood blockbuster ending: "So it's 6:37pm here in Brisbane, Australia. No earthquakes. No beaming up of Christians. No zombie apocalypse. No surprises haha."
Camping, a retired civil engineer, has built a multimillion-dollar, non-profit ministry based on his apocalyptic predictions. He previously predicted that the world would end in 1994. It is difficult to know how many of his followers took his latest prophecy seriously, though his Family Radio Worldwide reaches millions of listeners in the US and around the world.
Some have reportedly sold all their possessions and taken to the streets to warn people to prepare for the second coming of Jesus. In recent weeks, callers to Christian radio stations in the US have debated what to do about non-believing friends and neighbors who will be left behind to endure the wrath of God.
But it looks like it will be atheists and other skeptics celebrating this weekend, with tongue-in-cheek doomsday parties planned across the US.
TV scientist Professor Brian Cox summed up the mood of the non-believers. He tweeted: "I think we should all pretend the #rapture is happening so that when Harold Camping gets left behind later today he'll be livid.
New Church has been formed:
Well with 6PM coming and going around the World the Faithful have been stood up again by Jesus! I hope you all have learned your Lesson, and you should dump that Christ. Time to join a real religion, we at the "An Alien is my God Church" welcome you with open arms! Christians, Muslims and any other Religion that has let you down you are welcome to come and be amazed at our Gods work!
For further information on:
"An Alien is my God Church" send me kennymotown a message via Current and all donations to the newly formed religion can be arranged to be delivered to the Pastor, Preacher, his Holiness kennymotown!
This is the 10 Prime Directives we live for at our Church:
The 10 Prime Directives of the New Church "An Alien is my God"
1. Take care of planet Earth
2. Greed, is bad
3. Take care of your fellow Humans
4. Homosexuals are your fellow Humans (Get over it)
5 Do not worship Jesus or other false Idols such as Mohamed
6. Worship Science as it is your true Savior
7. Make Jobs available to everyone that can work
8. Make your Government work for the Citizens of whatever Country you live in
9. Heal the Sick
10. Comfort those that are dying
Many followers said though the sun rose Saturday without the foretold earthquakes, plagues, and other calamities, the delay was a further test from God to persevere in their faith.

Well, I am apparently still alive two and a half hours after Rapture hit. The upside of this is that I still get to hang out with all of you fine fellows.
However, seeing as we survivors were passed up and are now inherently damned, we might not be such fine fellows after all. Sad face.
Also, ha at Camping's wall.
