If you keep predicting something — maybe you’ll get it right someday?
End Times Prophecies has declared the world will end on July 29 in a chain of events caused by the “polar flip” phenomenon.
The group says the polar shift will trigger worldwide tremors, setting off multiple earthquakes and a “rolling cloud” that will destroy the world.
However, this is not the first time people have worried a polar shift could destroy the planet.
No worries about #Election2016, world ends July 29, says group always wrong http://usat.ly/29P8Klw @KnoxvilleDotcom
In 2011, NASA issued a statement to calm fears that the polar shift would destroy the planet in 2012.
“Scientists understand that Earth’s magnetic field has flipped its polarity many times over the millennia. In other words, if you were alive about 800,000 years ago, and facing what we call north with a magnetic compass in your hand, the needle would point to ‘south.’ This is because a magnetic compass is calibrated based on Earth’s poles. The N-S markings of a compass would be 180 degrees wrong if the polarity of today’s magnetic field were reversed. Many doomsday theorists have tried to take this natural geological occurrence and suggest it could lead to Earth’s destruction. But would there be any dramatic effects? The answer, from the geologic and fossil records we have from hundreds of past magnetic polarity reversals, seems to be ‘no.'”
This year’s polar shift will speed-up slightly between July 14 and August 19, which is triggering recent online discussions.
“The polar flip will make the stars race across the sky, and the vacuum from the reeling of the Earth will pull the atmosphere along the ground, trying to catch up, creating what is known as a roll cloud,” according to the Armageddon News video.
The 17-minute video posted to YouTube earlier this month attempts to explain why the world will end on Friday. It has been viewed over 4 million times.
It’s probably worth noting — the group also predicted a giant asteroid would collide with earth back in May.
So far the world is still here and I’m still doing laundry.
I didn’t really have any other plans for the evening. I won’t be mowing the lawn this afternoon, though.
I wish we could have been given a little more advance notice.
Glad I moved my hair appointment to this week. I’m not leaving looking a mess.
the polar flip will probably confuse the polar bears and penguins the most. I wonder if we’ll end up with all the polar bears in Antarctica and all the penguins in the Arctic?
I’m glad I skipped scrubbing my bulldog’s crusty bottom.
How do you know?
Am I dead? Is this still life?
Am I logged on?
Why didn’t you post this earlier?
I just hit the ‘order’ button on Amazon about an hour ago for a Sunday delivery of a DVD.
Now I have to send a note to Amazon to tell them to leave it on the back porch if the world has ended.
If you’d like to stop by and help I’ve also got a pork roast going for dinner and you’d be welcome right after you get done folding the towels!
