If you had plans for the weekend, a Christian numerologist says you won’t get to them because the world is about to end.
David Meade, a self-proclaimed “researcher,” is predicting that a series of apocalyptic events will begin on Sept. 23 and, “a major part of the world will not be the same.”
According to Meade, the mysterious rogue planet Nibiru, also known as Planet X, is on a collision course with Earth, which will bring world-ending tsunamis and earthquakes. The numerologist claims the dates of recent events like the Great American Solar Eclipse and Hurricane Harvey’s flooding of Texas were all marked in the Bible. Meade now says his “Planet X theory” lines up with more bible codes and ancient markers on the Egyptian pyramids.
NASA has already dismissed the prediction; calling the whole thing a hoax. The space agency has reportedly known about the Nibiru conspiracy theory for years and shot down the talk of Armageddon in a 2012 statement.
“If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth … astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye.”
Meade is a self-published author who writes that he studied astronomy at the University of Louisville. He and other doomsayers have actually been saying Nibiru would crash into the Earth several times before; which clearly did not happen. The latest prediction came in 2012 and was linked to the end of the Mayan calendar.

Further casting doubt on the theory, a Montreal-based radio producer attempted to book Meade for an interview to discuss his prediction, but he informed her that he wasn’t available for interviews until next week.
Fine by me!
I'm ready for a new adventure...

You’ll probably win.....................
In that case, I’ve got a lot of wine to drink so it doesn’t go to waste. Especially the pricey ones being saved for a special occasion. Wait!? This IS a special occasion. End of the world. Heck, best I start on them now....
“I have decided that I am not going to worry about a rogue planet. We survived 8 years of a rogue president. Twice.”
Good one.
Save the best for last!.....................
Indeed. For example Sir Robert Filmer cited it quite a bit trying to prop up the supposed Divine Right of Kings. But not as attentively as John Locke did in his rebuttal in his first Treatise on Government:
Sir Robert would persuade us against the express words of the scripture, that what was here granted to Noah, was not granted to his sons in common with him. His words are, “As for the general community between Noah and his sons, which Mr. Selden will have to be granted to them, Gen. ix. 2. the text doth not warrant it.” What warrant our author would have, when the plain express words of scripture, not capable of another meaning, will not satisfy him, who pretends to build wholly on scripture, is not easy to imagine. The text says, “God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, i. e. as our author would have it, unto him: for, saith he, although the sons are there mentioned with Noah in the blessing, yet it may best be understood, with a subordination or benediction in succession.” O. 211. That indeed is best for our author to be understood, which best serves to his purpose; but that truly may best be understood by any body else, which best agrees with the plain construction of the words, and arises from the obvious meaning of the place: and then with subordination and in succession, will not be best understood, in a grant of God, where he himself put them not, nor mentions any such limitation. But yet our author has reasons, why it may best be understood so. “The blessing, says he in the following words, might truly be fulfilled, if the sons, either under or after their father, enjoyed a private dominion.” O. 211, which is to say, that a grant, whose express words give a joint title in present (for the text says, into your hands they are delivered) may best be understood with a subordination, or in succession; because it is possible, that in subordination, or in succession, it may be enjoyed. Which is all one as to say, that a grant of any thing in present possession may best be understood of reversion; because it is possible one may live to enjoy it in reversion. If the grant be indeed to a father and to his sons after him, who is so kind as to let his children enjoy it presently in common with him, one may truly say, as to the event, one will be as good as the other; but it can never be true, that what the express words grant in possession, and in common, may best be understood to be in reversion. The sum of all his reasoning amounts to this: God did not give to the sons of Noah the world in common with their father, because it was possible they might enjoy it under, or after him. A very good sort of argument against an express text of scripture: but God must not be believed, though he speaks it himself, when he says he does any thing which will not consist with sir Robert’s hypothesis.
“The end is near”...ya, right behind him. That’s funny!
If he’d take a big dose of introspection and analysis of his Greco-Roman heritage and look at what’s really going on in his world around him, he’d realize that we won’t be getting off so easy. Enjoy the ride.
I mean, seriously, there are some people so stupid they don't even believe in God.
Jesus said He didn’t know. If you are contradicting a clear, plain statement of Jesus, you’re in error. (Jesus accepted certain limitations during His incarnation. This is why Philippians tells us Jesus did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant and being made in the likeness of men. Following the brief period of the Incarnation, Jesus resumed the position/role He had occupied prior to the “emptying.”
Will I be able able to watch the Alabama game? It starts at 3:30.
If a planet is going to hit us in 3 days and we can’t see it now then it would have to be travelling at a velocity somewhere around .5c. This is unlikely.
I wish they would define “end.”
Do we go out with a bang or a whimper?
GOOD!
my mortgage isn’t due until the 25th!

As someone who has trouble hitting deadlines....I can understand why God keeps missing them. It gets REALLY busy...
