Some Christians and secular individuals predicted several momentous events that they believed are related:

The second coming of Jesus Christ, when he returns to earth after almost two millennia.
The war of Armageddon -- a massive battle in Israel.
The arrival on earth of the Antichrist, an evil political, military leader.
The Tribulation, a seven year interval of great suffering and death.
The Rapture, when Christians who have been born again -- both living and dead -- will rise into the sky towards Jesus.
Some horrendous natural disaster.

It is worth noting that all of the following predictions have failed. it is expected that predictions being made today about our future will also fail.

what do you think?

I think it might be a waste of time asking the question... but not a total waste of time because there is always the risk of something from space wiping us out, so we look out for that.

predictions based on what you mentioned are a complete crap, obviously.

i know they are complete crap but i didnt make them, Some Christians and secular individuals did

dark fusion,


Have you ever heard of Nostradamus? you know , he wrote many books about the future and many things came out, like ww1-2, Napoleon, Golfwar.,....and a lot more, according to Nostradamus the world will end in the year of 7000,but by saying the end of the world i still don't understand what he means by that, the end of life or the end of the planet earth?!

i did hear something like that but couldnt think of the name good info

Doomsayers are having a heyday with current events. Sept 11, wars in the Middle East, plagues, natural disasters....things certainly look bleak, and it's not hard to see how theorists could put these events into apocalytpic contects.

The year 2012 keeps popping up, when some heavenly object, a comet or meteor perhaps, may strike the Earth and end the world as we know it.

I'm not sure whether NASA has contacted Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton about this, or even Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck. I'm sure we'll just have to wait and see.

Some of the predictions out there are to vauge, and the ones that are specific have been found to be false. All we can do really is wait, and in that final hour say "Oh! It was so-and-so who got it!"

That is if anyone's prediction proves to be correct.

What I am pretty confident about is that the end isn't going to come anytime too soon. I do believe that a downfall in humanity will be evident before the end. And as bad as things are now, I can imagine them to be far worse. So that leads me to believe the end is a far way off. I fear for the generations that come after us.

Theres something called skip reading, which is where either the Bible or the Keran (Appologies for poor spelling) Has hidden messages in it. If you take something like every sixth word, it will make a sentance. These sentances seem to be some kind of prediction. And whats more they seem to be right. Apparently this form of prediction has foretold the assasination of various American presidents, September 11, world war 2,and the end of the world in 2006. I'm sorry i can't give much useful information, as i saw this on TV about three years ago. But it really stuck in my head, because time and time again these people wre saying "This is going to happen" And it did.

Then again, the end of the world doesn't have to mean the end of human life. The industrial revelotuion was supposed to be the end of the world.

I think that the increase in natural disasters is pointing to something big thats going to happen. It is possible that there could be several huge earthquakes which wipe out a lot of civilisation as it is, and force humans to rebuild their lives, and live differently.

I'm sure i've got a magazine article somewhere about "the end of the world" Would anyone be interested in reading if i can find it?

if you cannot respect whats written then dont reply. but do not be insulting to others who believe.

its normal to ask, notthing is impossible

curious, i wonder if the rapture takes place at 2012; the few vanishing from earth & thus beginning the trial of tribulation (orchestrated by the anti-christ) with the vanished returning sometime later as angelic beings of light led by Christ ~ to dissolve darkness & restore eternal peace to the earth...or perhaps, all this is simply symbolic of something simpler? it is said that time changes once 2012 arrives, so maybe all these events will move quickly as the earth itself prepares for transmutation into starlight, & transmutating all of us in the process - giving the illusion of chaos as we quicken into light...after all, what is time & space in the realm of gods? just a few thoughts with no ill intent, of course..

is it normal to ask?

is nothing impossible?

you need to be in 2 posts: "nothing is impossible" and "what's normal"

Are you referring to the Mayan calender? If so, that's not the Rapture nor the end of the world. It's just when the calender ends and is meant to be a shift in human consciousness.

now that would be waste of time...

even though you have already been in them posts

2012 it supposely a huge meteor is heading to earth right now and will hit us in 2012 and will all be dead so get drunk do drugs or you can stand out in a corn field and beg the aliens to take you to there planet where you could start a new human race and live happily ever after until the grey get jealous we have genitails and they dont and they start harvesting them and using them for there own and stealing our women cause there women are soo ugly and stuff.. And you know? I dont blame them

2006 alright i'll just have to see about that. I hope it doesn't wipe out the wendigos

I hope it doesn't wipe out the wendigos......



I think that's my job, isn't it?

My message was directed at those predicitons, not a person. There is no point in discussing it on the grounds of religious beliefs because as we know, there has been hundreds if not thousands and nothing has happend. Get the message already...

I find it odd that people still take these prediction seriously, I question the worlds sanity!

Am I not allowed to express my opninons?

predictions made by bible is believed by millions around world' would you question their sanity? it can be taken in wrong sense(insults) by ppl who believe. so if you dont believe then dont call it crap. got the message!!!!
your opinion is free to post. but say if someone post against you would like it? as in this reply you made at top. arent you quick to reply back...its similar case is with those who believe....got the point.

Nostradamus (?) predicted that the human race would survive until around 3000 something - at least as we know it - I personally have a problem with all these prophecies as I have not ever heard of one that has helped anyone anywhere or saved anyone anywhere - I personally believe that we as humans need some sort of answers of celestial meaning to try to figure out why we are here - basically if we knew why we were here it probably wouldn't change people anyway - they would still go on living in their own little world and refusing to see reality as it is happening - what if there is no meaning and no answer - what would people do then????? I would predict in that scenario that all the negative influences in this world would exagerate and the life we know would tryly be a Hell on earth - prophesies are a nice retreat at times and take away our responsibility for dealing with the world we have today -I don't see a lot of people supporting the environment or helping the homeless or for that matter trying to help anyone - just sitting around wondering and wasting time -

PS I am not an atheist either - just have a lot of stuff in my head - maybe we should all practice self control a little better - then our philisophies and predictions may just turn out to be positive energy - which makes up everything in the universe

It depends on how you define 'world'. Do you include the existence of life in this definition?

If that's the case, then most likely the world as we know it, with life, will end between 1 billion and 5 billion years from now. All stars' luminosities increase as they age, and the Sun is no exception; the increased luminosity of the Sun will cause the oceans to evaporate, and with them almost all life. This is, of course, assuming that life makes it till 1 billion years from now. There's always the chance that an asteroid larger than 20 miles across will hit Earth in that time, and wipe out virtually all life larger than bacteria.

If you don't include life in the factor, then the world probably will not end. It will simply end up as a cold, lifeless ball orbitting a dead white dwarf sun.

As for the 'human' world, it depends. I think that if we make it past the next 100 years, humanity stands a chance of finally uniting and becoming an immortal civilization and race. The trick is getting through the next century. We are coming into the period where it will soon be possible to design nasty varients on diseases in your own home laboratory.

We should fire a missile at it; if it breaks into smaller pieces they could be small enough to burn up in the atmosphere. If not, fire a missile at each piece.

"It began with an act of supreme violence-- a big bang expanding ever outward, cosmos born of matter and gas, matter and gas ten billion years ago. Whose idea was this? Who had the audacity for such invention? And the reason? Were we part of that plan ten billion years ago? Are we born only to die? To be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth before giving way to our generations? If there is a beginning, must there be an end? We burn like fires in our time only to be extinguished. To surrender to the elements' eternal reclaim. Matter and gas... will this all end one day? Life no longer passing to life, the Earth left barren like the stars above, like the cosmos. Will the hand that lit the flame let it burn down? Let it burn out? Could we, too, become extinct? Or if this fire of life living inside us is meant to go on, who decides? Who tends the flames? Can he reignite the spark even as it grows cold and weak?"

"From Space, it seems an abstraction-- a magician's trick on a darkened stage. And from this distance one might never imagine that it is alive. It first appeared in the sea almost four billion years ago in the form of single-celled life. In an explosion of life spanning millions of years, nature's first multicellular organisms began to multiply... and then it stopped. 440 million years ago, a great mass extinction would kill off nearly every species on the planet leaving the vast oceans decimated and empty. Slowly, plants began to evolve, then insects, only to be wiped out in the second great mass extinction upon the Earth. The cycle repeated again and again. Reptiles emerging, independent of the sea only to be killed off. Then dinosaurs, struggling to life along with the first birds, fish, and flowering plants - their decimations Earth's fourth and fifth great extinctions. Only 100,000 years ago, Homo Sapiens appear-- man. From cave paintings to the bible to Columbus and Apollo 11, we have been a tireless force upon the earth and off cataloguing the natural world as it unfolds to us. Rising to a world population of over five billion people all descended from that original single cell, that first spark of life. But for all our knowledge, what no one can say for certain, is what or who ignited that original spark. Is there a plan, a purpose or a reason to our existence? Will we pass, as those before us, into oblivion, into the sixth extinction that scientists warn is already in progress?"

"Or will the mystery be revealed through a sign, a symbol, a revelation?"

* Bonus points if anyone can identify the source of these quotes?

The world will end if the sun goes wrong or if something from space smacks us This Christian crap refers only to people, which is the one thing i really hate this religion for. If Christ comes back again, I'll smack him on the head with a large lead pipe! Back to topic...

Don't believe what some guys said/predicted no one knows what will happen after 1000-2000... years.

dont think you can stand your ground...you cant even hit a gov officer what heck makes you think you even touch the christ.

its ppl like you that create the terrors of world... making a issue of any persons believe and then acting like saint....immature....get back to topic.

well said

The planet will end when the sun goes super-novae, when humainty will end is entirely up to our own intuitive ambitions.

Yeah, it's called bible code (top paragraph), and it is very accurate... surprisingly (i'm not a christian, so that means something coming from me) Also, it's the year 2012, not 2006...

I promise to smack Christ on the head...I'll wait for him for his second excursion. Damn extraterrestrials!

That's a very impractical way of doing it; A cheaper, safer, more practical possibility would be to hit the edge of the object hard enough to send it spinning away from earth. Even a nuclear weapon wouldn't do a whole lot of damage to a meteor in space; Without air to transmit shockwaves, it's pretty much useless.

that shows how immature you are...lol really siting infront of ur pc and saying this is brave....isnt it...i dare you to go out in street and say this...ppl will think ur loony...which isnt ur fault...cos...People say that you are the perfect idiot. I say that you are not perfect, but you are doing alright.

You're certainly touchy about this, especially considering it was a joke. Lighten up!

cant....darkknight.....lol

jokes on religion has caused many a terrors of world....yet some ppl dont understand and keep making the same mistakes.now thats a joke...isnt it, perhaps thats how world ends.

They don't start religious wars when done in an anonymous on-line Internet forum. If you deny the ability to poke legitimate fun at something (without, of course, denigrating into 'sick jokes' and the like), then you give it power, power that it probably does not deserve.

thats good point....bassy many on-line forums are used to great advantage by them.if you get my drift. oh I'm not into bugging fools with bigmouths, but rather see the weak and meek is defended....who believes in religion,aliens,Bigfoot,cryptology and ghost. after all if we need this sort of joke,then this forum should be unexplained jokers not unexplained mysteries, where ppl come to share the experiences of unknown' for they were ridiculed outside and they seek a support here, bu if some ppl here wont support them when where do they go.

I can't speak for anybody else, but as a skeptic on the supernatural, I try not to be personally offensive or insulting when criticizing someone, or their beliefs. If you are a believer, though, it helps to be a bit thick-skinned to insults, since there are many out there who are devoid of basic reasoning skills, but maintain complete use of their mouth.

....lol .....
bassy you got style and well said!

Well, thank you!

Back on topic:

Expanding on what I said earlier, there are about a million ways that humanity could meet an unfortunate end. Most of these are the kind that wouldn't kill off humanity, but would almost certainly destroy civilization and set the world on a downturn. Somebody engineering a rather nasty backyard version of the flu, or the like, would be one of them.

interesting......

Scully's voice over in the X Files

Nostradamas also predicted an anti-christ rising in the middle east. Who would you speculate that would be? My guess would be the new pres. of Iran.

The world will end when the sun goes nova.....

The year 2012 came from the Mayas and the sudden halting of their calendar, which was one of the most amazingly accurate of all time. I will be posting a forum topic on this soon.

Oil Peak.
We're running out!

this world would probably end in a "religous war"...not for nothing, today in this world, there is probably no more respect for each other...*cough*America*cough*

My World ends when i die, so too will each of yours. No point guessing when it ends for everyone, be assured that yours will be gone first.

Strictly speaking, the Sun is too low in mass to ever actually explode.
