The leader and founder of the group, Chris McCann told The Guardian that, “According to what the Bible is presenting it does appear that 7 October will be the day that God has spoken of: in which, the world will pass away.”

The online organization is basing its prediction by adjusting an earlier claim that the world would end on May 21, 2011, made by Harold Camping. McCann believes that what Camping predicted in 2011 was when, "God turned his attention to deciding which non-churchgoers to save" and God has spent the subsequent 1600 days deciding who be spared before October 2015.
