1999 to 2009: Jerry Falwell predicted in 1999-JAN that Jesus
could return within ten years. But before that can happen, he said that the
Antichrist must appear. Referring to the Antichrist, Falwell said:
Rabbi James Rudin of the American Jewish Committee suggested that Christians should be careful
about making such comments. His said that Falwell's statement "plays
into some latent and historical anti-Semitism from the past." 2 Rev. Falwell later apologized for his comment. |

2009-FEB-13: An unknown group or individual called "Vast
entity now unsurpassed" predicted the end at 23:31 UTC on this date. Their reasoning is:

Sometime in 2009: Jack Smith predicts that the Fifth Seal mentioned in the biblical
book of Revelation refers to the interval 1798 to 2009 when Christians
were free to spread the Gospel worldwide and be "witness against all
nations." The Sixth Seal refers to the interval from 2009 to 2012
when God's judgment begins. This will involve the destruction of the "Scarlet
Woman" (Rome and the Vatican), the Angel ascending from the East,
and the destruction of the new "Roman Empire." |

2009-FEB-13: We received an Email from "The Final Peace" who
predicted that the Rapture will occur on this date,. She believed that she had
communicated directly with both God and Satan. Her predictions were based on
a number of sources:

2009-MAR-07: David Wilkerson believed that the difficult economic
times were not a recession or even the beginning of a depression. They
representrd the start of a time when God would express his wrath upon humanity.
He believed that 1,000 fires would come to New York City at a time that "is not
far off.", They would combine to destroy all of the city and parts of New
Jersey and Connecticut. Other similar disasters would occur in major cities
worldwide. He recommended that everyone lay in a 30 day supply of food,
toiletries and other essentials -- not a bad idea at all times. He believes that born-again Christians would emerge unscathed.
Presumably, God would make certain that all non-saved individuals will die. |

2009-JUN-21: An anonymous Emailer believed that 2010-DEC-21 is the
Abomination of Desolation, when the Antichrist says that he is God.
Subtracting 3 years 6 months from this date lead us to 2009-JUN-21. He looks
for the Rapture to occur late in June, perhaps at
the time of the solstice. |

2009-MAY-JUN: A Russian Christian group called "Heavenly
Jerusalem" established a new sect called the "True Russian Orthodox
Church." Their leader is Pyotr Kutnetsov, 43, an engineer. One of their
more interesting beliefs is that their members will become judges after death
and will decide who will go to Heaven and Hell.
During 2007-NOV, about thirty members barricaded themselves in an underground
bunker that they had dug in the Penza region of Russia, to await the
Apocalypse. Kutnetsov was arrested, found by psychiatrists to be unfit to
stand trial, sent to a mental institution, and later released. The end-of-the
world prophecy did not come to pass. They believe that a 1,300 day clock
started some years ago when the Russian Orthodox Church accepted a taxpayer's
identification number from the government. The Apocalypse was expected when the
clock reaches zero in 2009-JUN or perhaps sometime in 2011. 7,8 |

2009-AUG-29: John Dutchman claims to be an astronomer at the Mount Wilson Observatory. He allegedly believed that a small star is passing through the Oort Cloud, the area surrounding the solar system from whic comets originate. He says that the gravitational pull of the star is forcing at least a third of all of the comets into the sun -- over one million. He predicts that the earth will be hit by from one to many hundreds of comets, ranging in size from 100 meters to near 600 miles in diameter. He expected the collisions to happen on 2009-AUG-29. |

Predictions for 2010; all have failed so far:

Sometime in 2010: Phil Stone of Bible Time interprets the Parable of the
Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37 symbolically. He computes the date
of the second coming of Jesus as being 2,000 years after Jesus' visit to
the Temple at the age of 12 in the year 12 CE. Because the Biblical
calendar is slightly shorter than the Solar calendar, we hit the 'two
day" mark in 2010..." Actually, most theologians believe that Jesus was born between 4 and
7 BCE. This means that Jesus should
have returned sometime between 2003 and 2006. 3 |

2010-APR-02: "Second Messenger" predicts that the Rapture would happen
on 2009-OCT-31 (Halloween) and that the end of the world would occur on
2010-APR-02. He has a blog explaining how this date was computed
from biblical references. It is based on the belief that
creation
happened during 11990 BCE and the flood of Noah occurred during 4990 BCE,
an interval of exactly 7,000 years. Working forward from the flood,
another 7,000 year interval takes us to 2010. The date for the Rapture has since proven to be false, so we assumed that the second date will be as well; we were correct. 4 |

2010-JUN or early JUL: We received an Email from a person who prefers to remain anonymous who wrote that:
But Hawaii may become the sixth state with civil unions in early 2010-JUL. This would create a "666" scenario which might foretell the end of the world as we know it. Remember; you saw it first on this website! |

2010-JUN: Rodney Berry of http://www.AdamAndEveSeedGatheringMinistry.com forwarded an Email to us stating:
Obama's Oil Leak, and Messiahs storm - Israel attacks innocent Shipment of Goods to the palestinian children of satan - Bring home your MISSIONS and SCIENTIFIC Research Teams from abroad, HE prepares to drown and crush many again around EARTH, FOR THESE VERSE'S DEUT:32:43, MATTHEW 24:7-8-30, AND 25:34, REV:21:3-4-7, Rev:14:1-3! HIS Mystery has been finished Rev:10:7, which now brings the Vengeance of GOD, THE ONLY GOD, THE FATHER OF US, HIS CHILDREN LOST OF ADAM CHRIST - SECOND VOLCANO PREPARES TO ERUPT IN ICELAND, AS PROPHESY LAST YEAR - IN DEEP PRAYER FOR STONES/FALLING STARS - We Have Much To Be Found So DoingThis seems to be a prediction of "the end." |

2010-JUL: Revelation12news.com sent us an Email announcing a message directly from Jesus to the residents of the Gulf of Mexico states. It said in part:
Curiously, the states that Jesus is referring to -- Florida to Texas -- where a massive genocide is to occur, are known as the "Bible Belt" with a higher percentage of fundamentalist and other evangelical Christians than probably any other part of the U.S.

2010-AUG-31: "The Analyzer" notes that the Worldwide Church of God announced on 2004-MAY-14 the sale of part of its west campus. He
believes that this is "the abomination that maketh desolate"
mentioned in Daniel 12:11-12. According to Daniel 8:14, the temple will
be cleansed exactly 2,300 days later. 5 |

2010-SEP-09, give or take 2 months: Thomas Chase of Revelation 13 predicts that the Battle of
Armageddon could occur during 2010-August to November. Of particular
interest is 2010-SEP-09 -- the "... Jewish New Year's Day Rosh Ha Shanh,
when, according to biblical prophecy, the Battle of Armageddon may occur." 6 |

2010-OCT-01: A visitor to this site suggests that this date, which can be written 101001 contains elements of four languages: binary code, Hebrew, English, and mathematics. The writes that:
This reveals that the visitor refers to as the "perfect trinity: Father, Mother and Child." He suspects that: "... the date will most likely pass by, unnoticed. It might be a sign of the coming messiah, and I am some kind of herald. But I think, at the very least, it is something like a guidepost or signpost meant to point us in the right direction, and remind us that we are all connected." |
