Thomas claims that every 6,500 years, a major disaster on the scale of the Biblical 'Great Flood' strikes the Earth.

That only speaks to the past. To assume that "every 6,500 years" pertains to the future is unreasonable.

Still not seeing why it was banned.

The “widespread panic” garbage is just that. The story is just not that “frightening”. Asimov, et al, wrote better.

They declassified the Bible?

Too late. The secret got out nearly 2,000 years ago.

All Christians know that it’s going to come to an end. I look forward to it.

The last great flood was when Noah built his arc 2348 BC, It’s 2025 now so we’re good for another 2100 years give or take.

We’re all gonna die! Global warming or cooling or whatever, we’ve been around much longer than 6.5k years, and unless we all nuke each other, we should be good for another 6.5k years.

Psalm 114:3... The sea saw and fled, the Jordan ran backward,
the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like sheep.

The Mayan calendar, originally thought to end on 2012 (when nothing of note happened) has been updated to correctly predict the end of civilization in 2042 - set your clocks, folks!

“The amount of energy to bring that about is tremendous.”

That was my first thought - it would take an external force to change the axis of rotation of the planet, a HUGE FORCE. I’ve never tried doing the calculations, but I suspect that if all the nukes in the world were focused to just try to slow down the Earth’s rotation, we might add one second or so to our day - and that’s it! Never knew that the CIA had so much time on its hands to publish pure fiction.

This is all left static.

The Bible tells us the same thing.

I’d trust that over something the CIA released.

mighty Pacific rears back and piles up into a mountain of water more than two miles high, then starts its race eastward

That should put out the fires.

***Thomas believes that Earth’s magnetic field will suddenly, drastically shift, wreaking havoc across the planet. ***

I remember reading an article about the switching of the magnetic fields in SAGA MAGAZINE in 1969! Great illustration of sky scrapers suddenly collapsing during the shift when the outer mantle of the Earth suddenly slips over the inner mantle with no magnetic field to keep it in place. What if the US ended at the North or South Pole when the magnetic field is re-established.

This looks like a recycled article. I downloaded the full book online several years ago. I just looked and you can get the full book even now on Amazon. 232 pages. Not 55 pages. I think there is some fearmongering going on. Don’t believe these guys.

False prophecies are part of Christian history too.

HISTORY OF FALSE PROPHETS AMONG OUR CHRISTIAN BROTHERS

In every generation after the apostles, there have been Christians who mistakenly believed that they were in the last days. They have thought that their generation was the one Jesus spoke of when He prophesied that “all these things” would happen in “this generation.” Failed prognosticators have been a persistent embarrassment to Christianity. Perhaps there is something fundamentally wrong with these predictions.

Francis Gumerlock, in his book THE DAY AND THE HOUR: CHRISTIANITY’S PERENNIAL FASCINATION WITH PREDICTING THE END OF THE WORLD, lists end times prophecy predictions made by Christians beginning in the early centuries. He catalogs more than a thousand failed predictions since the early days of Christianity, beginning with the apostolic fathers.

For example, Ignatius writes around the year AD 100 that “the last times are come upon us.” Cyprian (200-258) writes that “the day of affliction has begun to hang over our heads, and the end of the world and the time of the Antichrist. . . draw near, so that we must all stand prepared for the battle.”

Martin Luther (1483-1546) made this statement: “I am satisfied that the last day must be before the door; for the signs predicted by Christ and the Apostles Peter and Paul have now all been fulfilled, the trees put forth, the Scriptures are green and flourishing. . . . We certainly have nothing now to wait for but the end of all things.”

Famous among predictors of the end of the world was Christopher Columbus (1452-1506). Columbus wrote a book entitled BOOK OF PROPHECIES in which he called on many of the same passages of Scripture that false prophets cite today to predict the imminent end of the world. He apparently thought that his discoveries marked the beginning of the end.

The famous American Puritan preacher Cotton Mather (1663-1728) believed Christ’s return to be imminent and saw apocalyptic meaning in the conflicts and challenges of the American frontier. Mather was also a date setter. He predicted the Second Coming for 1697, then 1716, and finally 1736. The New Jerusalem, he believed, would be located in New England.

Here are more examples of end-times dating from Christians as well as pseudo-Christian cultists:

―William Miller (founder of Adventism): 1843/1844
—Ellen G. White (co-founder—Seventh Day Adventist Church): 1843, 1844, 1850, 1856.
—Joseph Smith (founder—Mormon Church): 1891.
—Jehovah’s Witnesses: 1874, 1878, 1881, 1910, 1914, 1918, 1925, 1975, and 1984.
—Hal Lindsey: 1982, 1988, 2007, with contingency dates going as far as 2048.
—Jack Van Impe: 1975, 1980, 1992, 2000, 2012. Also, in May of 1991 he said the Anti-Christ would be revealed and the Great Tribulation would begin within 20 months.
—Chuck Smith (founder of Calvary Chapel): 1981, 1988
―Herbert W. Armstrong: 1965
—Pat Robertson: 1982.
—Edgar C. Whisenant: 1988, 1989.
—Bill Maupin: 1981.
—J.R. Church: 1988.
—Charles R. Taylor: 1992.
—Benny Hinn: 1993.
—F. M. Riley: 1994.
—John Hinkle: 1994.
—Grant R. Jeffrey: 2000.
—Lester Sumrall: 1985, 1986, 2000.
—Kenneth Hagin: 1997 to 2000.
—Jerry Falwell: 2010.
—Louis Farrakhan: 1991.
―John Walvoord: before he died (He died in 2002.)
—John Hagee (at age 71): before he dies.
—Harold Camping: 1994, 2011.
—Ronald Weinland: 2011, 2012.
—Perry Stone: 2009-2015
—Billy Graham: Even this venerable preacher began telling us in the 1940’s to expect the soon return of Christ.

A lot of dispensationalists right in there with cultists. Pastors all across America’s fruited plains have books of some of these authors proudly displayed in their office libraries. The same books, and videos too, fly off Christian bookstore shelves, and the money continues to flow to these authors and many others of the same ilk. While some of these authors may be good teachers on other subjects, their false predictions force us to doubt their views on eschatology. Many of the above people will be forgotten, but whenever you happen to be reading this book, you will probably be hearing from a new generation of false teachers.

All of these prognosticators had something in common: They all thought they knew better than Jesus, who over and over told his followers that his prophecies would come to pass while some of them were still alive (Matthew 10:23; 16:27-28; 26:64; Luke 21:22, 32; Hebrews 10:37; Revelation 1:1-3; 22:5-20; etc.) There are over 100 such time statements in the New Testament that limit fulfillment of prophecy to the first century.

Those left behind will need a handy explanation for the rapture of the church.
