 | 2020s or 2030s: Bill Joy, co-founder and chief scientist
of Sun Microsystems predicted the end of humanity in within 20
or 30 years, in an article in the 2000-APR issue of Wired Magazine.
He wrote that leading-edge technologies such as robotics, genetic
engineering and nano-tech may soon lead to the extinction of human
society. 1 |
| 2023: According to an Email from Clarence D'Souza, Daniel
12:12-13 predicts the end of the world and of the
Universe during this year. |
| Before 2024: A web site titled "Fire from the sky: Meteors and
Biblical Prophecy," predicts that a meteor (actually a
meteorite) "could" hit the earth sometime between 1998 and
2023. This would cause
fireballs of debris, tidal waves, supher [sic] dioxide, a "red tide" in the
oceans, and a dust cloud. |
| 2019 to 2026: John Ash had failed predicting the date of the "end"
on two occasions, but is now quite confident that he has the correct seven
year tribulation interval defined. He rearranges the digits in the 1,290 days
of Daniel 12:7 to produce 2019, which he predicts will be the start of the
tribulation. He then takes the 1,335 value from the same verse and adds the
number 691 -- the approximate year that the Dome of the Rock was built in
Jerusalem to produce 2026, which he believes is the end date of the
tribulation. 5 |
| 2028-OCT: Asteroid "1997 XF11" will approach close
to earth. At first, scientists were concerned that there was a small
probability that it might impact earth. However, data from 1990 has
indicated that it will miss earth by about 600,000 miles. 2 Still,
this is a near miss, as astronomical distances go. |
| About 2028: A visitor to this web site from Norway has analyzed
biblical chronologies and determined to his satisfaction that "Jesus
became Messiah [about the year 28 CE] exactly 4000 years after Creation."
He believes that God created the world to last 6,000 years. Thus, the end
of the world will happen about 2028. Actually, various theological sources
estimate the date of Jesus' execution between 28 and 33 CE. 30-APR-07 is
a common date. So, the millennium of Jesus' resurrection would occur
between 2028 and 2033, with the most likely date being 2030-APR-07. |
| 2029: Mike Flipp believes that God has been communicating
with him by sending him signs all based on the number 2. He wrote in an
Email: "And then on April 26th, 2005 EXACTLY 2 years worth of getting
signs of 2's, I got the Grandiose Sign of the Aceptable [sic] Year of the Lord
- Luke 4:19." The sign is that Jesus will return in the year 2029.
He does not know the month, day, or hour. See:

| 2034: The website 2034AD.com predicts the end of the current age
and the beginning of the Millennium will happen during 2034 CE. They sell a
book "Rest Onto the Land" that describes their conclusions. See:
http://www.2034ad.com/ |
| Before 2038: The environmental group, Greenpeace, predicts massive starvation due to
uncontrolled population
growth. Global warning will melt the polar ice caps and cause massive coastal flooding.
Thousands of plant and animal species become extinct. |
| 2038: The book "The Bible and the Future"
predicts that "large percentage of the world's population will die in a series of
severe punishments from God" at this time. See: http://www.alltheearth.com/ |
| 2047-SEP-14: According to The Church of !BLAIR!, the
human race will probably be terminated at 3:28 AM (Soho, UK time). The church
teaches, with tongue firmly in cheek, that if the human race does not discard their
plastic conformity, then the Gods will withdraw their protection. The Gods don't want us
to worship them; they don't want sacrifices or even offerings. They just want us to rid
itself of our excessive "Normalcy". At that time, Astro-Lemurs
(extra-terrestrials similar in shape to lemurs, but with rainbow colored bodies) will
attack the entire human race and beat them to death with gigantic burritos. You have been
warned. ;-) Unfortunately, the Church is no longer online to reinforce their warnings. |
| 2060: Sir Isaac Newton, Britain's greatest scientist, analyzed
the Bible, which he believed contained God's secret laws of the universe.
He concluded that the end of the world will happen on or after the year 2060.
According to Malcolm Neaum, the producer of a TV documentary on Newton: "He
spent something like 50 years and wrote 4,500 pages trying to predict when
the end of the world was coming. But until now it was not known that he
ever wrote down a final figure. He was very reluctant to do so." 3 |
| 2070 to 2250: Kermit Zarley, a lay biblical scholar and
former PGA Tour professional golfer, wrote a book in 2006 titled: "The Third Day Bible Code"
Read reviews or order this book safely
from Amazon.com online book store. He uses the "third day" motif that
appears throughout the Bible, couples it with the belief that "one day is
like a thousand years" for God, and interprets 2 Peter 3:8 and Psalm 90:4 to
predict that Jesus' return will be sometime between the years 2070 and 2250.

| 2076: Bede the Venerable, an 8th century Christian theologian computed
Jesus birth as 3,942 years after the world's creation. The Earth's 6,000 year millennial week will
thus end in this year. |
| 2076: Some Sufi sects expect the end of the world in this year, which
is the year 1,500 in the Muslim calendar. |
| Sometime before 2100: "Magnus" reports that his supernatural friends: |
"... were making statements to the effect of earth would have initiated the major cataclysmic events during the second world war but Gods authority around me postponed all of that. So in effect all of who have lived since can thank Gods authority for their life, without earth would have commenced those cataclysms a long time ago."
"I know it will begin sometime before 2100, so people will have to live their lives to the fullest from now till then."
