Christian Numerologist Says World Will End On Sept. 23

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.

Put them in a paper bag with an apple.
They’ll ripen before Armageddon.

Normally the Missus and Me, we treat ourselves to pizza
on the Friday after the Social Security checks come out.

Maybe I should go ahead and get it tomorrow, just in case?

Your Vogon Poem

See, see the mum sky
Marvel at its big puce depths.
Tell me, salamander do you
Wonder why the opossum ignores you?
Why its foobly stare
makes you feel grumpy.
I can tell you, it is
Worried by your blartle facial growth
That looks like
A cheese
What’s more, it knows
Your niggardly potting shed
Smells of frog.
Everything under the big mum sky
Asks why, why do I even bother?
You only charm garlic.

I don’t know why the Vogons singled out salamander. She will have to explain.

The general tuckermanities are arrant
some dogs who sleep ay night
must dream of bones
and I remember your bones
Bubbles- ephemeral and so transparent-
I knows I loves you thoo an’ thoo
In watah time er drouf
But this is, now- you may depend upon it-
here’s a drink
to your bones
that
this dog
still
dreams about
I wush dese people ‘d stop dey talkin’,
Don’t mean no mo’ dan chicken’s squawkin’
Stable, opaque, immortal- all by dint
Of the dear names that he concealed wit
I guess I knows which way I’s walkin’,
I knows de norf f’om souf.

I agree about the money gospel, but the only ‘science’ for the scriptures is read, hear, and obey.

The scriptures are a plain language manual for eternal life, and need absolutely no interpretation. They require prayerful study daily.

If someone offers to interpret the scriptures for you, run like the Devil is after you, because he is!

I was just sitting here wondering if anyone would “get it.”

You just expressed some Theological theories about how God represents Himself in the Bible. Somebody who disagrees with your view on interpreting the Bible is appealing to a different Theological theory.

Thus, if we maintain all Theology leads to junk religion, are we not refuting every possible way of interpreting the Bible and God's relation to it?

And as I pointed out, Saint Paul, in the book of Romans appeals to a Natural Theology argument. He asserts that God and his eternal properties are known through what He has made so that men are without excuse. I am not sure how one reconciles this with the view that the Bible should be trusted as being simple in meaning and Theology avoided.

However, I think I may share some of your concerns that there are many that read way too much into the Bible. The Numerologist in the article is a prime example. And the Gnostic heretics of early Christianity. And the "Jesus Seminar" and such. But these are what I would call "junk theologists". I would call Saint Paul and Descartes good Theologists.
