Conspiracy theorists have been warning a massive planet – called Planet X or Nibiru – will wipe out life on Earth for some time.
Now a paranormal researcher claims to have combined astronomy, scientific research and the Bible to calculate the date of the apocalypse.
...
Meade claims the Book of Revelation, in the Bible, says when Nibiru will reveal itself.
Revelation 12: 1-2 speaks of a “sign in heaven” of “a woman clothed with the Sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head”.
Using computer models of the movement of the stars and planets, Meade claims this will match the astral alignment on September 23.
He said: “During this time frame, on September 23, 2017, the moon appears under the feet of the Constellation Virgo.
“The Sun appears to precisely clothe Virgo…Jupiter is birthed on September 9, 2017.
“The 12 stars at that date include the nine stars of Leo, and the three planetary alignments of Mercury, Venus and Mars – which combine to make a count of 12 stars on the head of Virgo.
“Thus the constellations Virgo, Leo and Serpens-Ophiuchus represent a unique once-in-a-century sign exactly as depicted in the 12th chapter of Revelation. This is our time marker.”

Revelations is about the unfolding of spiritual events, not the positions of stars, the moon, etc. Didn’t Jesus criticize those of his time who searched for physical signs, but not able to see the signs of the times? Heaven does not literally mean the sky, and seeing signs in heaven does not require a course in astronomy or astrology. The woman in Revelations clearly represents the nation of Israel, the 12 stars the tribes of Israel, and the red dragon is the god of this world, i.e. the devil. Just look at how Israel is hated today by the world’s powers, the ones that don’t believe and are under the devil’s sway. Revelations, like much of the Bible, is symbolic because spiritual events cannot be described literally.
Well, say changing the orbital plane were enough to make the orbit stable. That would mean the planet’s orbit wouldn’t cause massive disruption to the inner solar system during that portion of its orbit.
It’s really an either/or proposition. Either it can have a stable orbit, or it can cause massive disruptions as it travels through the inner solar system. Both can’t be true at the same time, because we are dealing with a finely tuned system built on feedback from all the moving parts.
Mr. Douglas,
I do not know the day or hour of the Coming of the Son of Man. I address your concern on that issue in the section of the article titled “The Day and the Hour.”
Up until several months ago, I only saw one taking up of believers. However, the falling of the stars convinced me that there are two instances where believers are taken up.
In the first, The Rescue of the Bride, only one third of the stars fall. Ref. Rev. 12:3-4 and Rev. 8:12 and Rev. 6:12-14. We see these believers in Revelation 7 gathered around the Lamb who is sitting on his father’s throne. Some of the stars are still in the sky. They have not all fallen. Ref. Rev. 8:12.
In the second, The Rapture of the Elect, all of the remaining stars fall. Ref. Isaiah 34:4 and Isaiah 34:8. We see these believers meeting the Son of Man in the air. Ref. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17.
I found this evidence very compelling.
All there in someone’s overwrought imagination.
Telepathic Intruder,
My son has a view of Revelation that is similar to yours.
He says that I should not take the writings literally.
I counter that perhaps some of the writings are figurative/symbolic and other parts of the writings may be literal.
My view of the stars as signs comes from Genesis. For your convenience, here is the relevant part of The Rescue of the Bride article that discusses stars as signs.

Our heavenly father is very specific in telling us that the lights in the firmament serve as signs.
In this scripture at the beginning of Genesis, the text seems to me to be literal.
I think that we should at least consider the possibility.
Blessings in your studies.
Charlie: When I was a little girl, my mother would remind me each night before bed, to open up my heart to God, for He was kind, merciful, and just. Things changed when my father left a few years later, leaving her to raise me and my brothers in a place on the edge of the Mojave Desert. She never talked of a kind and merciful God again. Instead she spoke of a prophecy. Of a time when all the world would be covered in darkness and the fate of mankind would be decided. One night, I finally got the courage to ask my mother why God had changed, why He was so mad at His children. “I don’t know,” she said, tucking the covers around me, “I guess He just got tired of all the bullshit.”
HiTech,
I understand your response. The whole concept really is weird and supernatural.
I am not God. I am just trying to find my way to heaven and help others get there, too.
I state clearly in my article the following:
1) I am not a prophet. I do not claim to be a prophet.
2) I am merely translating the timing of the appearances of The Great Sign of the Woman and the sign of The Red Dragon to the Gregorian calendar and fitting the scripture puzzle pieces together in relationship to Yahuah’s signs.

I have nothing to sell. No advertisements. No products. No gimmicks.
This topic is too important to cheapen it with commerce.
I do, however, have something to offer.
The article, The Rescue of the Bride, is my life’s most important work. It is the culmination of a labor of love that began in 1993 when I became a believer.
I am fully aware that I am handling Yahuah’s (God’s) word. It is my responsibility to do so with the utmost care.
As such, I have poured over the details hundreds of times to make sure that they are accurate and true to the best of my human ability.
I insist on being careful. It would be irresponsible of me to be anything else. The lives of the children of Yahuah (God) are at stake.
I am hoping that you will accept my invitation to read the article. I have written it for the very purpose of blessing you and others whom Yahuah (God) is calling.
Blessings to you and your loved ones.
Whenever I see these non standard phantasmagorical names for God (Yahuah is a new one on me) it screams “PRIVATE REVELATION!” I.e. bull shit. A real revelation is going to rhyme heavily with publicly known theology. It won’t need researching in Scandinavia, as I rebuked another private revelationologist.
So don’t try to bull shit me with “supernatural.” I believe in “supernatural” just fine. I also believe it behaves in a well defined and very publicly revealed way.
Which is probably a good thing, because if it had been in the Bible, scholars and Freepers would spend considerable time arguing about exactly how much 'evil' vs. 'good' was in 'humanity'.
HiTech,
My understanding is that “Yahuah” is the personal name of God.
The specific spelling and pronunciation are discussed here:

Private revelation city. “No prophecy is of any private interpretation.”
The tone of my message to you was conveyed with respect. I had and have no other intention.
Please forgive me if I have offended you.
Works for me. Bring it down.
Salvations are individual. The salvation of a people, a country, can be spoken of metaphorically, but Jesus most definitely sends souls, that had been bound for hell, to heaven.
The “balance of good vs. evil” questions, if they even come up (as in Abraham’s attempt to bargain for the survival of Sodom) are symbolic. In Jewish culture, 10 competent men were needed as a witness, and that custom survives to this day in the number of men needed in a congregation before they will recite certain praises to God. If there was a viable witness in Sodom, God would pass it over and not destroy it. There wasn’t, and it met a toasty fate.
I may have sounded kind of crude here, but I’ve seen so much of this nonsense and seen the damage it wreaks on souls. So if I call it bull shit, it really is bull shit, from hell. I’m saying get yourself OUTTA there, before you get messed up any worse.
That's a great graphic. On one hand, he's peering into the windows. On another, he's about to push the whole thing over.
Look... this looks like a painfully private revelation.
That raises the red flag of pride at once. Oh look at me, I figured out God!
Real revelations of God will humble, rather than pride. It will look like the proverbial Oh! I could have had a V-8! moment.
Paul in the bible did use crude language on occasion to indicate something that quintessentially disgusted him. Something that was so spiritually dirty that no other word would suffice. He used a word that the KJV renders as “dung” but really could be “crap.”
I just get disgusted at this kind of thing. If someone is insisting that there is only one valid way to talk about the God of the bible, as if magic rather than love was the thing that drove it, that someone is most assuredly full of... well, let me use a bible word. Crap.
“We are destroying speculations/imaginations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God.”
Lots of stuff has to play out in the history of the world, and God isn’t lying. The trumpets, bowls, and seals aren’t going to all play out this year. They are by the narrative bringers of curses, not bringers of blessings. Look at what’s going on in politics and it looks like a honkin’ BLESSING is getting ready to come on the scene.
Rest easy, rest in the Lord. Quit worrying about any Nibiru. The Lord hasn’t passed His plan over to the devil.
I think I'll repost this in "Breaking News" Sept 22.
Trump's fault!
