The world will come to a fiery end NEXT YEAR – if you believe the latest crackpot theory to predict the Apocalypse
Reverend Donna Larson believes she has come up with a formula based on the birth of Adam that conclusively proves there's not much time left
THE WORLD will come to a fiery end next year - according to the latest crackpot theory to predict the Apocalypse.
Revered Donna Larson insists her calculations conclusively PROVE that judgement day will soon be upon us.
She points to the Bible’s claims that man will rule the earth for 6,000 years before facing God’s wrath.
By her reckoning Adam was created in 3,983 BC - helpfully marking the six thousandth anniversary next year.
The date also chimes with the 70th anniversary of Israel’s birth and 50 years after the unification of Jerusalem.
Larson explained: “All these numbers have Biblical significance – 50 is the number of unification between Passover and Pentecost and 70 is the number of fulfilment according to the book of Daniel, Chapter 9.
“So 50 and 70 represent the beginning and the end.”
Robert Binnion who runs the end-of-time prophecy website Nice Timing used different calculations but reached an identical apocalyptic conclusion.
Sceptics, though, have pointed out the book of Mark stresses that no one will know when judgement will come.
But, Michael Parker, who runs the blog End of Time Prophecies – backed up the theory saying: "2017 will be a year of great awakening and of great shaking.
He said: “The time is soon coming – and appears to have already started – when the earth will start its belching forth of earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, extreme weather conditions the like of which modern mankind has never seen before."
Parker also added that a number of Biblical prophecies are expected to be fulfilled in 2017.
He said: "Scripture tells us that when a nation involved and its leaders involved attempt to divide the land of Israel, God will come to that nation and divide the land as judgment for doing so.
"There is a solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, that makes its path diagonally across the US – essentially cutting it in half.
"Another prophecy is fulfilled on September 23, 2017, when an alignment of planets and stars fulfil Revelation, Chapter 12.
"This prophecy could very well be the fulfilment of the beginning of the 'Day of the Lord', when God's wrath is declared."
While Parker admits that humanity cannot know the date for “Christ’s return”, he added: “Could he return in 2017? I've never seen a more favourable time for that to happen.”
