September 23 2017 and World Hasnt Ended Yet Again

It amazes me how many times in the past few years some Christian ministers and prophets have predicted the end of the globe. Either the stop has come and we are left behind or else, these predictions about the end of the world came from imitation prophets who speak words which the Lord has not given to them.

The latest prediction about the end of the word has been announced by Christian numerologist David Meade who predicted that the world will terminate on September 23, 2017 because the earth volition collide with Planet X, likewise know as planet Nibiru. Meade quotes the words of Jesus in Luke 21 and says that recent events in the skies are signs that something bad will happen in the about hereafter.

An commodity published past FoxNews.com describes Meade's prediction:

Christian numerologists claim that the world will finish on Sept. 23, 2017 as they believe a planet will collide with Earth.

According to Christian numerologist David Meade, verses in Luke 21: 25 to 26 is the sign that contempo events, such every bit the contempo solar eclipse and Hurricane Harvey, are signs of the apocalypse.

The verses read:

"25: There will exist signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations volition be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the bounding main. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the globe, for the heavenly bodies volition exist shaken.'

"'26: Men'southward hearts failing them for fear, and for looking afterwards those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.'

Sept. 23 is a date that was pinpointed using codes from the Bible, as well every bit a "date mark" in the pyramids of Giza in Arab republic of egypt.

Meade has congenital his theory, which is viewed with a widely skeptical lens, on the so-chosen Planet 10, which is also known as Nibiru, which he believes will pass Globe on Sept. 23, causing volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and earthquakes.

NASA has repeatedly said Planet X is a hoax.

Revelation 12:ane–2, is supposed to be the start of the Rapture and 2d coming of Christ, which is also being mentioned heavily past Christian conspiracy theorists.

The passage reads: "And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the lord's day, with the moon nether her feet, and on her caput a crown of 12 stars. She was pregnant and was crying out in nativity pains and the desperation of giving birth."

In the passage, the woman is Virgo. On Sept. 23, both the Dominicus and the Moon volition be in Virgo, as will the planet Jupiter. Nonetheless, this occurrence happens naturally once every 12 years. There is also a rare alignment, known every bit "the Lion of the tribe of Judah," which the conspiracy theorists are hanging their hats on.

This prediction about the end of the globe is the latest example of imitation prophecies that tend to cause much feet in the hearts of people who do non know much about the Bible.

Harold Camping prophesied that judgment 24-hour interval would happen on May 21, 2011. It didn't.

Many people believed that according to the Mayan Agenda, the world would end on December 21, 2012. It didn't.

I am not a prophet, simply I predict that zilch will happen on September 23, 2017. Every bit my fellow blogger Clarke Morledge at Veracity said: "The September 23, 2017 'Prophecy' of the 'Revelation 12 Sign' is Totally Bogus." And I agree with him.

Information technology is in times like these that nosotros should review what the Bible says about false prophets. The prophet Jeremiah has much to say about faux prophets:

"For who has stood in the council of the LORD so as to see and to hear his word? Who has given listen to his word and so as to proclaim it?" (Jeremiah 23:18).

"I did not ship the prophets, nevertheless they ran; I did non speak to them, yet they prophesied" (Jeremiah 23:21).

"I am confronting those who prophesy lying dreams, says the LORD" (Jeremiah 23:32).

According to Jeremiah, a true prophet has been in the quango of the Lord, has heard his word, and has been sent to proclaim that give-and-take.

On the other hand, imitation prophets have not heard the word of God, thus, they take nothing to say. Instead, they prophesy lies and prophesy the cant of their own hearts (Jeremiah 23:26).

In the book of Deuteronomy, God warned the people about the coming of false prophets:

"But any prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, or who presumes to speak in my proper name a word that I have not allowable the prophet to speak — that prophet shall die. You lot may say to yourself, 'How can we recognize a word that the LORD has non spoken?' If a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD but the affair does non accept place or prove true, information technology is a give-and-take that the LORD has non spoken. The prophet has spoken information technology presumptuously; exercise not exist frightened by it" (Deuteronomy 18:20-22).

September 23, 2017 is around the corner. Will the end of the give-and-take come up as David Meade has predicted? Think the words of Jesus: "But about that twenty-four hours and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Begetter" (Matthew 24:36). Jesus likewise said: "For false prophets will appear and produce great signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, even the elect" (Matthew 24:24).

So, is David Meade proclaiming the discussion he received from the Lord or is he prophesying the cant of his own eye?

Nosotros shall know the truth of September 24, 2017.
