A Christian group's leader posted a message online Thursday -- one day after the end of the world, which the group had earlier predicted would take place Wednesday, did not occur.

eBible Fellowship's Chris McCann wrote on its website: 'For some time now E Bible Fellowship (and myself) have been looking towards October 7th as the likely end of the world.

'We believed there was a strong likelihood that God would complete His judgment and bring about the world's destruction on that day.

'There was much biblical information pointing to this date and we freely shared it with all.

eBible Fellowship's Chris McCann posted a message online Thursday -- one day after the end of the world, which the group had earlier predicted would take place Wednesday, did not occur

'Yet, consistently stressing throughout the entire time period that the world ending on that date was a "strong likelihood."

'Since it is now October 8th it is now obvious that we were incorrect regarding the world's ending on the 7th.'

McCann claimed the group had predicted the wrong date.

He wrote: 'E Bible Fellowship was incorrect regarding the specific day of its end, but we were not incorrect concerning the fact that it will one day soon come to an end.'

In the Thursday post, McCann compared predicting doomsday to a terminally ill patient surpassing the life expectancy predicted by a doctor.

McCann wrote 'Since it is now October 8th it is now obvious that we were incorrect regarding the world's ending on the 7th.' McCann claimed the group had predicted the wrong date

He wrote: 'The man passes the 6 months (or year) he was told.

'Yet the prognosis hasn’t changed.

'He's still terminally ill.

'It's still certain he will die from his disease.

'It's just a matter of when that remains in question.'

McCann spoke to The Guardian on Thursday.

He told the newspaper 'I also know that God knows exactly when that end will come. So we’ll keep studying the Bible to see what we can learn.'

According to the newspaper, McCann earlier prophesied the Earth's destruction to happen 'with fire.'

The Guardian reported the October 7 prediction was based on Christian radio host Harold Camping's end of the world prediction. Camping predicted the end of world to take place May 21 2011, according to the news outlet.
