Is the world Ending?

Question

Is the world ending as French prophet Nostradamus predicted that the Large Hadron Collider might produce a black hole or strangelet particle that could swallow earth or cause some other great disaster???

Answer 1

Well by how you're saying it it seems like you think it will happen soon. But I believe it will not happen for another 110 billion years.  

Answer 2

Predictions have been made of several events that some Christians 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 and occult predictions have also been offered as well. 1

In this section of our web site, we have listed over 7 dozen past predictions of the end of the world which have one factor in common: none ever came true. There is every likelihood that most (perhaps all) of the future predictions will not materialize either.

We have been criticized by some of our 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 predictions all of which have failed, people will realize that some very prominent individuals have been consistently 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. Thus, the public has little to fear from prophets who predict a particular date for the world's end.

With the escalation of tensions in Lebanon in 2006-JUL, many Christian leaders predicted that the end had already begun. This created an intense interest among many conservative Christians about TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) prophecies. Some indications of increasing concern were:

During the first half of 2006, this essay had been approximately the tenth most popular essay on our web site of 3,540 essays  However, during 2006-JUL it rose quickly to the most popular essay.

WorldNetDaily, a conservative Protestant news organization noted:

"Prophecy-related products continue to be popular among WorldNetDaily readers, with two books on Israel’s involvement in end-times predictions coming in at No. 2 and 3 on ShopNetDaily’s weekly best-seller list—Dave Hunt’s 'Judgment Day! Islam, Israel and the Nations' and Greg Laurie's 'Are We Living in the Last Days?' " 2

Gary DeMar, writing for American Vision, a "biblical wordview ministry" commented:

"Why shouldn’t Christians snatch up these end-time books? They’re being told by prophetic writers that this is the generation that will see the rapture. Of course, previous generations of Christians were told the same thing. I predict that the prophetic scenario outlined by the authors of the books that appear on WorldNetDaily’s list will not take place as predicted. And when they don’t, memories will fade, and a new group of authors will join well-established prophecy writers and publish books that will start the cycle all over again that a Middle East Armageddon is inevitable and on the horizon." 3

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.

These TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) prophecies for 2006 have all failed:

2006-JAN-25: James Kingsley predicted a major "Earthquake Storm" near Los Angeles, CA. It was to start shortly after midnight of 2006-JAN-25, last for 2 hours, and be centered in Redondo Beach. The individual quakes range in magnitude from 7.1 to 7.9, and will be called "The Big One". 4

2006-MAY-25: Eric Julien of the Exopolitics Institute predicted that a remnant from a comet would hit the Atlantic ocean and generate massive tsunami almost 200 meters (650 feet) in height. Most heavily affected will be the Atlantic coasts between the equator and the Tropic of Cancer. He predicted that there will be tens of millions of deaths. North America and Europe was to be hit with less devastating tsunamis. Dozens of underwater volcanoes were to erupt, raising the temperature of the ocean to the boiling point. He based these predictions on a series of visions that he has had. 5

2006-JUN-06:  According to an E-mail that we received, the writer believes that "666," the number of the beast mentioned in the biblical book of Revelation, is really a date: 06/06/06 or 2006-JUN-6. He expected the rapture and start of the tribulation on that date.

  A movie "The Beast" was released on this day. The story involves the discovery that Jesus Christ never existed. "The authors of the Gospels, writing 40 to 90 years after the supposed life of Christ, never intended for their works to be read as biographies." 6 The screen play involves apparently involves a momentous event in 2006-JUN-06 (6-6-06). What the event is is unclear. The staff have been sworn to secrecy. Nothing notable happened.



2006-AUG-22:  Glenn Beck, anchor for CNN Headline News, predicted on 2006-AUG-09 that AUG-22:

"... is the day that Israel might be wiped off the map, leading to all-out Armageddon. ... [It] could be the day that Agnostics get down on one knee and start to pray, 'Sweet Jesus, are you coming today'? "

When AUG-22 arrived without any sign of Armageddon, Beck responded to a critical E-mail from a viewer by saying:  

"I wasn't predicting Armageddon today. ... We talked about the predictions of renowned Middle East scholar Bernard Lewis. It is amazing to me to be called a nut job for quoting a scholar who thinks we might expect aggressive behavior from a man who wants to wipe Israel off the map. I know. Sounds crazy! But, hey, who has time to actually listen?" 7

Bernard Lewis wrote in the Wall Street Journal on 2006-AUG-08:  

"In Islam, as in Judaism and Christianity, there are certain beliefs concerning the cosmic struggle at the end of time--Gog and Magog, anti-Christ, Armageddon, and for Shiite Muslims, the long awaited return of the Hidden Imam, ending in the final victory of the forces of good over evil, however these may be defined. Mr. Ahmadinejad and his followers clearly believe that this time is now, and that the terminal struggle has already begun and is indeed well advanced. It may even have a date, indicated by several references by the Iranian president to giving his final answer to the U.S. about nuclear development by Aug. 22. This was at first reported as 'by the end of August,' but Mr. Ahmadinejad's statement was more precise."

"What is the significance of Aug. 22? This year, Aug. 22 corresponds, in the Islamic calendar, to the 27th day of the month of Rajab of the year 1427. This, by tradition, is the night when many Muslims commemorate the night flight of the prophet Muhammad on the winged horse Buraq, first to 'the farthest mosque,' usually identified with Jerusalem, and then to heaven and back (cf Koran XVII.1). This might well be deemed an appropriate date for the apocalyptic ending of Israel and if necessary of the world. It is far from certain that Mr. Ahmadinejad plans any such cataclysmic events precisely for [2006-]AUG-22. But it would be wise to bear the possibility in mind. 8

SEP-08/09: The Lord's Witness and the True Bible Code predicted that a nuclear bomb will hit the UN plaza in Manhattan on the Sabbath, sometime between sundown on SEP-08 and sundown on SEP-09. This is the same group who predicted that the UN would take over the world sometime between 2001-MAR-26 and APR-24 and that a word-wide famine would being during 2001-SEP.

SEP-12: The House of Yahweh issued a news release stating that nuclear war was to begin on SEP-12. The war would start around the Euphrates River. Their leader, Yisrayl Hawkins, says that the countdown to the nuclear war began with the signing of the Oslo accords on 1993-SEP-13. He interprets the Book of Daniel as stating that this is a seven year agreement but would take 14 years to be fully carried out. He interprets Revelation as implying that nuclear war would begin a year, a month and a day prior to the end of the Oslo agreement. Hawkings has posted a video clip on YouTube.com that explains his predictions. 9

Eliezer Kamotho, an elder of the House of Yahweh group in Kenya, said that North Korea's nuclear bomb test on 2006-OCT-09 proved that a nuclear war was about to begin.

DEC-17: Dr. Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda predicted that Jesus Christ's second coming would happen in Puerto Rico on DEC-17. His website stated, in part:

"Este 17 de diciembre, el mundo será testigo de la segunda venida de Cristo. El Rey de Reyes llega a suelo boricua. Puerto Rico será el escenario donde cientos de personas presenciarán en vivo, mientras millones sintonizarán vía satélite, el evento que marcará el rumbo de la historia."

A rough translation is:  

"This December 17th the world will be a witness of the second coming of Christ. The king of kings will touch upon the boricuan [Hispanic] land. Puerto Rico will be the stage where hundred’s of people will witness 'live' while millions will watch through satellite TV the event that will put a mark upon history." 10

It didn't happen either.

Answer 3

Lets see, was Nostadamus an astrophysicist? No. So he obviously has no idea what he is talking about.  

Answer 4

Nostradamus did not really predict any such thing. Indeed he did not really predict anything at all. He was quite wrong when he gave any specific dates in his predictions, e.g. that few people would be alive in the 1700's or that a weird character would appear in July 1999. He wrote vague quatrains that later charlatans interpret to try to make it seem as if he predicted events centuries later. I can show how many of his verses are mistranslated, since I speak French and know much Latin.

Answer 5

Well, I don't believe in Nostradamus or nothing like that. However, I do believe and I know the world is going to end, and looks like soon. Just look around and see how people are behaving. See what "humans" are doing to each other.

Answer 6

Forgive me for chuckling. I'm sure Nostradamus and his 16th century chums down at the local tavern spoke of little else other than Large Hadron Colliders during their evening get-togethers.

Of course, I realise that this is just another case of Nostrdamus' followers 'interpreting' his predictions. Someone has obviously said "Ah, he must have been talking about the Large Hadron Collider when he wrote that verse", the same way they said "Ah, he must have been talking about 9/11" or "He must have been talking about World War 2". The problem is that the only time his followers can claim a correct prediction is after the event. When they try and use his writings to predict something in the future, such as some disaster arising from the Large Hadron Collider, they invariably fail.

Answer 7

to the response above. yeah people are doing bad things but what's new? people have done worse in the past history. no one truly knows when the world is going to end.

Answer 8

i do not believe the world will end soon, because it says in revelations, no man will know when the world will end, so anyone who says they know is automatically wrong, and there is this book of all of nostradamus' theories, you should read it, it might help you

Answer 9

all i can say is that is a load of bull sht it may end one day but its not something you shhould be worrying about RIGHT now, x

Answer 10

the world will end when it does. not one of us knows when and how.  

Answer 11

no..??

Answer 12

The world sure will come to an end but not as Nostradamus predicted.  When the KING of kings and the LORD of lords  JESUS CHRIST comes back as he has promised.

Answer 13

All take heed for 2012 is just the revealing of the 'antichrist' or the 'man of lawlessness' at the middle of what Jews and Christians call the 7 year Tribulation. It is celebrated by many pagan cultures from every corner of the world: Sumerians, Babylonians, Cherokee, Hopi, Chinese I-Ching {confirmed by T.McKenna}, Mayans{Pacal Votan}, Egyptians, Celts, Satanists, etc. An evil event called "the abomination that causes desolation". When will Yeshua Ha'Mashiach (Jesus) come? Only God Himself knows, but soon. If you believe or not, that is up to you. Either way it still comes.

Things to look for to PROVE it to yourself soon:

>Crash of American banks and its financial underpinning: Operation Sitting Duck

>Fall of America as an economic power and other ways.

>The Big One: Revelation 18. America goes down on the list of fabled societies nobody believes in any more like Atlantis, Mu, Lemuria, Hyperborea, etc..

>Martial law. (Google some of Bush's executive orders concerning it- Nightmarish!)

>Implementation of Project Bluebeam (be ready to hear more and more 'alien talk'... watch your local skies for the show!) Google and youtube it. Aliens... aliens... aliens...

>Trying to make people first accept the REAL ID card (to get you in the system) and then right after forcibly implanting people with these RFID microchips:

>The start of the North American Union.

>Push to attack Iran which will start WW3-the atomic war to end all wars. (If you think China, Russia, and the Muslim world would just sit back, you are a mistaken fool!)

>Final push to one world government: The New World Order- The 4th Reich!

(The brutal final empire foreseen by Daniel and John)

>Rise of a miraculous and awe inspiring world leader later to turn world dictator.

>Push to one world religion where there are "manys ways to God".

>Toleration of everything but Jews and Christians.

>Temporary and unheard of "peace in the middle east".

>Revelation13:10  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P-hvPJPT...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNPn2JLz7...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epMeGr-wD...

>More world wide food shortages and famines.

>More earth quakes. More fires. Strange and severe weather.

>Major spiritual awakenings.

>Rise of Islamic fanaticism.

>Rise in wickedness and corruption.

>Total chaos. Listen to this wise young child:

Christians and Messianic Jews look forward to this as it means they will soon join their Messianic Saviour in the Millennial Kingdom of the next Age and their Heavenly Father later as "Children of Light". If you try to equate 2012 with Y2K or some other date that cried wolf, then you will be making the worst mistake in your life. Research all these things FOR YOURSELF!

Answer 14

The LHC experiment is totally safe. It recreates the Big Bang in a SMALL scale. The world will end, but not anytime soon. A popular theory is that all galaxies will come together and get concentrated in a single point and then explode so that it's Big Bang all over again. This is also called Big Crunch.

Answer 15

Expect God nothing is permanent. Who's end come first, nobody know. This is sure that end is certain.
