'DOOMSDAY IS COMING'
Is the end of the world on September 23 and what is David Meade’s Planet X Armageddon theory?
THE end of the world as we know it could be imminent as conspiracy theorists claim a mysterious planet will collide with Earth TODAY.
Bible passages apparently supporting a centuries-old prediction about doomsday have intrigued many — but what's it all about?

Is the end of the world on September 23?
A Christian numerologist claims a verse in the Bible proves that the world will end on September 23.
In Luke's passage 21: 25 to 26, there is a quote which apparently matches the date of the Great American Solar Eclipse, when Hurricane Harvey hit and when Texas was flooded.
It reads: “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars.
"On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.
"People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken."
September 23 was pinpointed using codes from the Bible and also a “date marker” shown by the pyramids of Giza in Egypt.
But NASA has dismissed the claims, insisting the Planet X theory is merely a hoax.

What is David Meade's theory about Planet X and the Great American solar eclipse?
Conspiracies about the mysterious planet named Nibiru suggest it could be headed towards Earth to destroy it on September 23.
It was first mentioned in 1976 by author Zecharia Sitchin in his book The 12th Planet.
He believed the planet is home to ancient aliens called the Annunaki who he claimed created the human race.
As the date fast approaches, Christian conspiracy theorist David Meade expects Nibiru, also known as Planet X, will pass the Earth - bringing with it volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and earthquakes.
Meade buys into the idea that a 2,000-year-old prophecy, which was described in the book of Revelation, will cause an apocalypse.

He wrote a book called Planet X – The 2017 Arrival - insisting Nibiru would crash into Earth in October, but then moved it forward by a few weeks.
His theory was given a boost this year when NASA discovered , which they named Planet Nine.
Meade has been quoted previously saying: "It is very strange indeed that both the Great Sign of Revelation 12 and the Great Pyramid of Giza both point us to one precise moment in time – September 20 to 23, 2017."
The prediction that Planet X will collide with Earth and destroy it has been rumbling around for years - but every doomsday has come and gone so far.
What has the Great American solar eclipse got to do with the end of the world?
On August 21, 2017, millions of Americans saw one of nature's most astonishing sights — a total eclipse of the Sun.
While many were in awe of the unusual moment in history, theorists believe it signalled the start of the Apocalypse by being the day Planet x entered the solar system.
Meade told The Daily Star: “The Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017, is a major - huge - harbinger.”
