According to Motlalepula Maxwell Moahloli, a Lesotho-based representative of Family Stations, inc., who was responsible for liaising with Continental Outdoor Media, Judgement Day will be a period of five months from May 21 to  October 21, 2011 in which "the entire world and universe will be burned with fire by Creator God".
