Is the End of the World Really Just Hours Away??

When I originally heard about this supposed apocalypse predicted to be tomorrow, this is what I heard: there's a planet behind the Sun that's getting closer to Earth but we can't see it. On September 23, 2017, it will crash into Earth and kill us all. 
       ... like the dinosaurs, I'd thought.

"Planet X's passage could be the greatest catastrophic infliction of loss of life upon mankind since Noah's Ark."  ~Planet X - The 2017 Arrival

Planet X, also known as Nibiru was first mentioned in 1976 in Zecharia Sitchin's book The 12th Planet. David Meade looked to the Bible (and Pyramids of Giza) for clues leading to his prediction that the end of the world is near. Nibiru will pass the Earth (as it supposedly does every 3,600 years) and cause a myriad of disasters, including: flooding, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, climate change, and pole shifts. He has, however, since changed his mind, saying, "The world is not ending, but the world as we know it is ending." While Meade first pointed to Luke 21:25-26 and Revelation 12:1 which reference natural occurrences like the August 21st Great American Solar Eclipse and the recent tragic hurricanes Harvey and Irma, he now claims that disastrous events will be happening over the next few weeks, casuing October to bring about a world much different than the world we know and once knew.

NASA says that this, as with all other past conspiracies, is a hoax: "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 last decade and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously it does not exist." It just does not make logical sense that Planet X could be behind the Sun; unlike the moon, we see all sides of the Sun as we revolve around it over the span of 365 days. Scientists say it would take Planet X ten years to enter the inner solar system, so we would have seen the planet six months ago (and 18 months ago and so on) when we were facing the other side of the Sun. Meade's argument was that Nibiru is a "very dim object." And in the event that we did not detect Planet X any other way, it would not go unnoticed when the orbits of other planets were disrupted. "New worlds don't appear instantaneously on any given weekend," as reported by Forbes this morning.

Well, it's September 23rd somewhere in the world and I'm still here. I'll check back when it's September 23rd for me and see whether or not the world has ended.

As far as I can tell, I'm still alive  ;)

It's been a beautiful day - the opposite of a disaster. No signs of the seven years of tribulation.

Just like all the other past predictions of the end of the world, Meade's is just another one to add to the list of inaccuracies. We don't know when the world will end. We may never see it, or it may be tomorrow. All we can do is live life to the fullest 🎔
