Disclaimer:
We offer no guarantees that the prophets listed below actually made these predictions. We have described their alleged predictions as they were reported on the Web, in newspapers, books, etc. We do not have the resources to track down original source material.
NASA said that a large meteorite will come so close to earth 2017 and larger one on 2020 ,very close and they can not r/o the possibility of hitting earth yet!. The calculation of this will happen on April 10 good Friday 2020. If it hits earth it will be on or close to the south pool, causing devastated tsunamis, flooding, and destruction in and around the south pool all the way to south Africa, south Argentina and chill, all the islands between and could expand farther.
Christians have predicted several events that many believe are related: the second coming of Jesus, the war of Armageddon, the arrival on earth of the Antichrist, the Tribulation, the Rapture,some horrendous natural disaster, etc. Jewish, Islamic, psychic, occult and other predictions have been offered as well.
Many scholars have listed many prediction that the end of the world would happen before now. They all have one factor in common: none ever came true. There is every likelihood that most (perhaps all) of these future predictions will not materialize either.
They have been criticized by some of the readers for whipping up hysteria about the end of the world. Our intent is the exact opposite: we want to dampen the level of panic. We hope that by listing many dozens of past failed predictions that people will realize that some very important individuals have been totally wrong when they predicted the end of the world. End of the world predictions have been common throughout Christianity and other religions for almost 2000 years. It is probable that none of the following predictions of the date of the end of the world will come true. We will be very surprised if one of them did.
By the year 2020, the apocalyptic predictions for 2012-DEC-21 will have faded from most people’s memory and there should have been another series of books published with later predictions for the end of the world. Over time, we expect that many prophecies for the 2020s will be made.
Predictions of TEOTWAWKI (The end of the world as we know it):
- 2020: Vincent Carthane predicts that some form of heavenly encounter will occur during the year 2020. He links this date with the Bible and other Christian symbols:
- America started in the Jamestown VA settlement, named after King James. He became king over much of the world in the year 1603 CE If one goes to Matthew 16:03, one sees a reference to discerning the signs of the times.
- A five pointed star — the symbol of Satanism — fits neatly into the design of the Pentagon — America’s military headquarters. The central space defined by a pentagram forms the shape of the Pentagon.
- The cross is in the shape of the letter “T” which is the 20th character in the alphabet. A configuration of two cross symbols worn on opposite lapels by some clergy therefore can be interpreted as the number 2020.
- John 20:20 refers to disciples seeing the Lord.
- The pilgrims landed in 1620 CE, exactly 400 years from 2020. The Bible refers to an unfulfilled 400 year prophecy.
- 2020s or 2030s: Bill Joy, co-founder and chief scientist of Sun Micro systems predicted the end of humanity in within 20 or 30 years, in an article in the 2000-APR issue of Wired Magazine. He wrote that leading-edge technologies such as robotics, genetic engineering and nano-tech may soon lead to the extinction of human society. 1
- 2023: According to an Email from Clarence D’Souza, Daniel 12:12-13 predicts the end of the world and of the Universe during this year.
- Before 2024: A web site titled “Fire from the sky: Meteors and Biblical Prophecy,” predicts that a meteor (actually a meteorite) “could” hit the earth sometime between 1998 and 2023. This would cause fireballs of debris, tidal waves, sulpher [sic] dioxide, a “red tide” in the oceans, and a dust cloud.
- 2019 to 2026: John Ash had attempted to predict the date of the tribulation unsuccessfully on two occasions. However, he later came to the conclusion that the tribulation was to being in the year 2019 CE. He rearranged the digits in the 1,290 days of Daniel 12:7 to produce 2019, which he predicts will be the start of the tribulation. He then took the 1,335 value from the same verse and added the number 691 — the approximate year that the Dome of the Rock was built on the temple mount in Jerusalem to produce 2026. He believed that this is the end date of the tribulation. However, he now believes that Christians should not attempt to predict the timing of the end times. He sent us an Email saying that he has formally recanted this prediction.
- 2028-OCT: Asteroid “1997 XF11” will approach close to earth. At first, scientists were concerned that there was a small probability that it might impact earth. However, data from 1990 has indicated that it will miss earth by about 600,000 miles. Still, this is a near miss, as astronomical distances go.
- About 2028: A visitor to this web site from Norway has analyzed biblical chronologies and determined to his satisfaction that “Jesus became Messiah [about the year 28 CE ] exactly 4000 years after Creation.” He believes that God created the world to last 6,000 years. Thus, the end of the world will happen about 2028. Actually, various theological sources estimate the date of Jesus’ execution between 28 and 33 CE. 30-APR-07 is a common date. So, the millennium of Jesus’ resurrection would occur between 2028 and 2033, with the most likely date being 2030-APR-07.
- 2029: Mike Flipp believes that God has been communicating with him by sending him signs all based on the number 2. He wrote in an Email: “And then on April 26th, 2005 EXACTLY 2 years worth of getting signs of 2’s, I got the Grandiose Sign of the Acceptable [sic] Year of the Lord – Luke 4:19.” The sign is that Jesus will return in the year 2029. He does not know the month, day, or hour. See:http://www.two.cc
- 2029: The asteroid Apophis was named after the Egyptian supernatural being of destruction and darkness. It was discovered in 2004. Based on available data at the time, astronomers computed that it had a 2.7% chance of hitting the earth in 2029. However subsequent calculations show that it will miss the earth by about 30,000 km (19,000 miles) on 2029-APR-13, a Friday the 13th! Professor Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer at Queen’s University Belfast, says that gravitational forces between the asteroid and Earth in 2009 will change its orbit slightly. There is a 5 in a million chance that it will hit the Earth in 2036 with a collission with about 100 times the energy of the largest nuclear bomb. The point of impact wold be a great place not to be!
- 2034: The web site 2034 AD.com predicts the end of the current age and the beginning of the Millennium will happen during 2034 CE. They sell a book “Rest Onto the Land” that describes their conclusions. See: http://www.2034ad.com/
- Before 2038: The environmental group, Greenpeace, predicts massive starvation due to uncontrolled population growth. Global warning will melt the polar ice caps and cause massive coastal flooding. Thousands of plant and animal species will become extinct.
- 2038: The book “The Bible and the Future” predicts that “large percentage of the world’s population will die in a series of severe punishments from God” at this time. See: http://www.alltheearth.com/
