This is just another example of the Barnum Effect. If you say something broad or vague enough, people will see a connection to themselves or someone else. This is a bunch of bogus hooey.
If you are a Christian believer, Jesus says of the end of times no one knows when it will happen, not even Him, only the Father. That the Christ will return as a "thief in the night" when no one expects it. So, essentially, anybody who claims to know when the world will end, from a Christian perspective, is trying to say that he knows better than Christ. That is a pretty amazing statement for a 'Christian' to make.
People continually claim that this that or the other fulfills prophecy.


I agree with you but can you please confirm that the bold part doesn't contradict what I wrote :
No doubt this prediction is a strong sign of God. Or with other words : it's wrong to make people believe that they should not take their time to reflect on this - and I mean the whole story, including the fact that this is in Drudge.
