"Christian numerologists claim that the world will end on Sept. 23, 2017 as they believe a planet will collide with Earth. According to Christian numerologist David Meade, verses in Luke 21: 25 to 26 is the sign that recent events, such as the recent solar eclipse and Hurricane Harvey, are signs of the apocalypse."

Do we get to stone these christian numerologists when they are proven wrong. I recall something in the buy bull about false prophets getting stoned to death or something.

Setting dates has never, ever worked. Obviously. This day will come and go like all the rest of them. Remember Harold Camping? My son really bought into that one. Really thought he was going to be raptured! He was terribly let down when it didn't happen. He decided not to trust Religion anymore.

Sept, 23 is a week away. They are asking us to believe that there is a planet out there, big enough to cause major destruction to our planet, that we cannot detect even a week away. Pure and simple BS.

I am willing to make bets with anybody who sets a date. If the world does really end when you say, then I will give you a million dollars the day after. If it doesn't, you give me a million dollars. So far I have had no takers.

This is the actual message from this huckster:

"ALL OF THESE EVENTS WILL BEGIN IN OCTOBER 2017 – YOU NEED TO BUY MY BOOK “PLANET X-THE 2017 ARRIVAL” TO BE PREPARED NOW."

http://writers-web-services.com


[Yes, buy the book, because the planet is about to be destroyed. Nevermind that I'm SELLING this book, and planning on having somewhere to SPEND those profits.]


IMHO, this guy is not a nut, any more so than J Smith. He's a con man, and end-of-the-world crisis is predicted (by me) to be miraculously averted by:

A) All the good people who bought his book and followed the sacred instuctions

B) A super-secret DARPA-Russian-NWO-alien (as in ET) consortium of oligarchs, who used the recent eclipse to obscure the massive microwave beam fired to drag planet X from its trajectory (but be sure to buy the next book, which will explain how it was really prayer and prepping that changed god's mind)

C) Information he made available in his book(s) caused the prayer, which caused the oligarch beam, which caused god to change the course of planet X

Crisis averted. (and the name "Kolob" was already taken)

To avert future crisis, buy the next book.

Maybe they know there is a Death Star type weapon out there that will now be able to shoot across the universe and blow us up. I hope Star Wars 8 can shake that ultimate weapon plot line. It is getting a little worn out.


OR....


Maybe there is a hyper-space bypass being built and construction starts around that time.

Ditto, all of the above posts, and has been so every since I can remember.
----

In downtown L.A. (where I used to work), an adult corner-paper-seller would say (over and over, to sell his papers), "Won't be long now", never specific, just sold his papers with this line.

He became famous on this basis (and was even immortalized in a movie or two).
---

Moreover, I think Los Angeles had/has more crazies, per capita, than any other big city. These person have free access to preach their religion (and so forth), on a green square in the middle of the business center, called 'Pershing Square'.

The good whether in L.A. makes it easy to accommodate such persons. This block was dedicated to be a 'piece of green' in the big city, and quickly became a magnet for those who wanted a free place to preach, on a box, whatever they had to say (including crazy religious teachings, and 'end-of-the-world predictions--a popular theme).

In addition, this square is much used by regular people who can diagonally cross it as a short cut to where they want to go. (And, it provides parking spaces below.)

A mighty enjoyed convenient block, even by average people like you and me.

Let's see, this would be, by my calculations, christian "end-of-the-world" prediction # 3,123,475 that will be wrong.

You'd think after being wrong every single time for nearly 2,000 years, they'd stop making these predictions, wouldn't you?

I know a number of Christians who believe that the end, the Rapture, or the return of Christ, is definitely going to happen in our lifetimes. I have the impression that they are not aware that for generations past there have been Christians who have believed the same thing and have every time been wrong. I doubt that these people that I know have even heard of William Miller of the "Great Disappointment" in the nineteenth century in which his prediction of the return of Christ failed to happen. Interestingly, Ellen G. White, the prophetess of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, had been involved in the Millerite movement.

Thank God he is a 'Christian numerologist'. I never knew one existed as 'numerology' should clearly be of the Devil.

If he is that 'wrong' on God and 'God-type beliefs' ----- there is little chance he could be right about any predictions based on numerology!

Actually, I heard a 'numerologist' was making this type of prediction and have heard nothing from my 'spiritual' community. Just a 'great relief' to find out he is a 'Christian Numerologist'!

"Never mind!" says David Meade. He now says the world will NOT end.

Usually they wait until after their prediction fails to come true this guy did it before the endtime. Meanwhile, "Global Warming" is still on hiatus, or something The AL-gorythms are TWOO!"
