A Christian numerologist claims that the world will end next Saturday when a planet will, supposedly, collide with Earth.

According to Christian numerologist David Meade, verses in Luke 21:25 to 26 are the sign that recent events, such as the recent solar eclipse and Hurricane Harvey, are signs of the apocalypse.

7 NEW EARTH-LIKE EXOPLANETS DISCOVERED, NASA ANNOUNCES

The verses read:

“25: 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.'

"'26: Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.'

Sept. 23 is a date that was pinpointed using codes from the Bible, as well as a "date marker" in the pyramids of Giza in Egypt.

Meade's views are not endorsed by Roman Catholic, Protestant or eastern Orthodox branches of Christianity.

Meade has built his theory on the so-called Planet X, which is also known as Nibiru, which he believes will pass Earth on Sept. 23, causing volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and earthquakes, according to British newspaper The Sun.

PLANET DISCOVERY FUELS INTEREST IN MYTHICAL WORLD OF DEEP SPACE

NASA has repeatedly said Planet X is a hoax.

For a certain branch of evangelical Christianity, Revelation 12:1–2, describes the beginning of what is known as the rapture and the second coming of Christ.

The passage reads: "And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of 12 stars. She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth."

In the passage, the woman is Virgo. On Sept. 23, both the sun and the moon will be in Virgo, as will the planet Jupiter. However, this occurrence happens naturally once every 12 years. There is also a rare alignment, known as "the Lion of the tribe of Judah," which the conspiracy theorists are hanging their hats on.

According to the Express, author Jonathan Sarfati wrote that the same planetary coincidence previously happened four times in the last millennium.

"As usual with any astrology (or Christian adaptations of it), one cherry-picks the stars that fit the desired conclusion," Sarfati wrote, according to the Express. "There is nothing to suggest that 23 September is a momentous date for biblical prophecy, and Christians need to be careful about being drawn into such sensationalist claims."</s>It has been claimed Nibiru, a mystical planet from the beyond the fringes of the solar system, is heading towards Earth. Shock prophecies about the end of the world claim on September 23, Nibiru will appear in the skies to fulfil the biblical book of Revelations. It has been claimed the monstrous planet – 10 times the size of Earth – will cause widespread chaos and destruction on Earth. Will Nibiru crash into Earth on September 23? Despite the outlandish nature of the claims surrounding Nibiru, the idea that Planet X will smash into Earth is a misconception.

On the day of reckoning, the planet will only pass Earth but its mere presence will destroy the world as we know it in the months that follow according to some theories. According to the conspiracy blog Planet X – The 2017 Arrival, Planet X's passage will be the 'greatest catastrophic infliction of life upon mankind, since Noah's Ark'. Nibiru's immense gravitational waves will allegedly start the apocalypse by shifting the Earth's north and south poles to India and Brazil. And it has been claimed terrifying earthquakes will then shake the world, tsunamis will cover the lands and violent volcano eruptions will cause a fiery maelstrom of death and destruction.

Writing a guest article for conspiracy website Planet X, the Christian numerologist explained: "Nothing is expected to happen in September. "It is possible at the end of October we may be about to enter into the seven-year Tribulation period, to be followed by a Millennium of peace. "When Wormwood (Revelation 8) is on close approach to Earth sometime during the Tribulation, you’ll have solar flares and a possible loss of the electrical grid for weeks, maybe longer."

But if any of this actually happens depends on whether or not Nibiru appears in the skies on Saturday. Many of the world's leading scientists have debunked the theory, labelling it an elaborate internet hoax. The Nibiru claim has been around for several years now, flaring up every time a new theory about the world's end gains traction. Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, ridiculed the Planet X prophecy calling it fake.

He told Express.co.uk: "I don't know what to say except that it's nonsense." Nibiru first emerged in online chatrooms in 1995 when conspiracy purveyor Nancy Lieder exposed the world to Planet X on her website ZetaTalk. Then in 2003 the world was supposed to end with Planet X standing behind a major doomsday prophecy. Nothing of course happened that year. Nasa explained: "This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012 and linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012."</s>Thousands of conspiracy theorists have been going wild with rumours about the world ending today on September 23. An outrageous theory about a rogue Planet X, known as Nibiru, claims that the colossal planet will pass earth to start the apocalypse. The main purveyor of the doomsday prophecy is Christian numerologist David Meade who published his theories in his book, Planet X – The 2017 Arrival. The author has spectacularly claimed that Nibiru’s approach will match an astrological constellation from the biblical Book of Revelation.

The 12:1–2 passage in question, reads: "And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of 12 stars. “She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth." But on the eve of the apocalypse, Mr Meade has come out to claim that actually, the world is not about to end. “The world is not ending, but the world as we know it is ending,” he told The Washington Post. “A major part of the world will not be the same the beginning of October.”

Instead, the world will be rocked by a seven-year-long period of Tribulation, during which the Earth will be ravaged in preparation for the second coming of Jesus Christ. Writing a guest article for conspiracy website Planet X, Mr Meade explained: "Nothing is expected to happen in September. "It is possible at the end of October we may be about to enter into the seven-year Tribulation period, to be followed by a Millennium of peace. "When Wormwood (Revelation 8) is on close approach to Earth sometime during the Tribulation, you’ll have solar flares and a possible loss of the electrical grid for weeks, maybe longer."

All of these claims however have been rubbished by the world’s leading astronomers and scientists. Nasa issued a statement debunking the Nibiru hoax, reminding that Planet X was already supposed to smash into Earth in 2012 and 2003.

The American space agency said: “Various people are ‘predicting’ that the world will end Sept. 23 when another planet collides with Earth. “The planet in question, Niburu, doesn't exist, so there will be no collision. “As you can see from the Q&A below, the story of Niburu has been around for years (as has the "days of darkness" tale) and is periodically recycled into new apocalyptic fables.</s>David Meade was touted as the new doomsday conspiracy theorist, but he denied knowing the date for the end of the world. Meade pinpointed Saturday, Sept. 23 as an important day, but he never claimed it was the day of rapture, which is the complete opposite of what some assumed.

“People tend to read sensationalistic headlines, and not go to the source. My book is the source. They don’t even read it. My book’s updates are on my Planet X News.com site – they don’t read those, either,” Meade told International Business Times in an email Thursday. “As Donald Trump would say, this is ‘fake news’ they write about me. Nothing you can do about it really. Just stay a cool customer.”

While Saturday, Sept. 23 might not be Armageddon, Meade argued the recent environment catastrophes, like the earthquakes in Mexico and hurricanes in Caribbean, are related to the metaphorical end of the world as people know it today. He identified the solar eclipse last month as the start to all the natural disasters.

“Ever since the Great American Solar Eclipse of Aug. 21 we have been hit by a continued series of judgments,” he said. “Jewish thought is that solar eclipses are a sign or harbinger of judgment against gentile nations.”

Meade described himself in the following way on his website:

“David Meade studied astronomy, and economics, at a mid-western University. After graduation, he worked in forensic investigations for a number of years. The last 10 years he has spent with Fortune 1000 Companies, writing special reports for management. He is a specialist in research and investigations. He has 10 books to his credit. He enjoys relating science and the Bible. He believes Planet X is a perfect marriage of the two. He is also a Guest Writer for Planet X News.”

While Meade said he didn’t know when the end of the world would be, he argued Planet X, also known as Nibiru, would collide with earth and decimate civilization — one day. NASA, on the other hand, said there was no evidence of such an event.

“Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system; the closest it can come to Earth is about 4 billion miles,” NASA wrote in 2012.
• Is Nibiru Real? What NASA Said About ‘Planet X’</s>September 23 has come and gone, and the “end of the world” certain doomsayers were predicting obviously didn’t take place. But for a YouTube user named David Jordan, Nibiru, also known as Planet X, is real, and it has already made its presence felt, allegedly doing so shortly before it was supposed to cross paths with Earth.

According to a report from the Sunday Express, Jordan uploaded a 10-minute video entitled “Genuine Proof of Planet X: Nemesis Sunrise and an Eclipse for Good Measure,” claiming in the clip that he has proof that Nibiru does exist and was visible on Friday, September 22. The self-styled Planet X “hunter” observed that there were “two suns in our sky” on that day, as he took photos from his iPhone 7, taping an infrared lens onto the front of the device.

David Jordan added that he saw Nibiru early Friday morning, stressing that he didn’t edit anything on the uploaded video to make it seem as if Planet X does exist.

The video also included Jordan pulling up on the side of the road to film what he claimed was Nibiru, repeatedly referring to the mythical planet as a “dragon.”

Although David Jordan sounded confident that he had seen Nibiru a day before the purported “end of the world,” the Sunday Express noted that it is “hard to discern” if the video is legitimate. As the clip predominantly features the infrared lens’ deep red tint, the publication pointed out that Jordan’s Planet X sighting was most likely a lens flare reflection from our sun.

One of the most compelling pieces of evidence against the existence of Nibiru might still be NASA’s extensive FAQ which was originally published a few days after December 21, 2012, another date when doomsayers had predicted the end of the world, only to be proven wrong. The FAQ was updated earlier this week in the light of multiple doomsday predictions for September 23, and while there are some individual questions and answers on the article that talk about the topic in depth, the space agency editor’s update succinctly stressed that Nibiru “doesn’t exist,” and that there will be no such collision with planet Earth taking place.

In relation to David Jordan’s claims of a Nibiru sighting, the Sunday Express also quoted NASA’s David Morrison, who said that anyone would have easily been able to see the supposed rogue planet if it was really on a collision course with Earth.

“If there was a planet headed into the inner solar system that was going to come close to Earth, it would already be inside the orbit of Mars, it would be bright, it would be easily visible to the naked eye – if it was up there it would be easy to see it, all of us could see it,” explained Morrison.</s>Whatever your plans are for tomorrow, you can be safe in the knowledge that Armageddon isn't going to disrupt them.

Several internet conspiracy theorists have been circulating a prophecy about a rogue planet called Nibiru crashing into Earth and wiping out all life. The date of our supposed destruction is September 23.

This theory of a wayward planet - also known as "Planet X" - has been picked up by so-called Christian numerologist David Meade who believes it's heading our way.

The conspirator posted a video to YouTube in which he says: "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.

Now the chatter has got so noisy that even NASA has put out a statement to confirm the theory isn't true.

"Various people are 'predicting' that world will end on September 23 when another planet collides with Earth. The planet in question, Nibiru, doesn't exist, so there will be no collision," the space agency said.

"Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an internet hoax.

"There is no factual basis for these claims. 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 past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye.

"Obviously, it does not exist."

Where does the conspiracy theory come from?

As well as noting apparent mystic markings on the pyramids in Egypt, Meade's prediction is largely based on the Bible passage Isaiah, Chapter 13 9-10, which says: "See, the Day of the Lord is coming – a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger – to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it.

"The Stars of Heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the Moon will not give its light."

Supposedly, a celestial alignment takes place on the 23rd that mirrors one fortold in the Book of Revelation. But experts have proven that there is nothing special about the line-up of the moon, the planets or the sun on that date.

It is, after all, complete fiction.</s>Nibiru enthusiasts on the internet have long claimed that Nibiru has a 3,600 year-long orbit, during which it circles the Sun, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Earth. Theorists now speculate that the colossal planet – 10 times the size of Earth – will pass Earth on September 23. Several amateur astronomers anticipating Nibiru's approach have supposedly already photographed the celestial body travelling through space. Pictures of a mysterious red blob in the sky have been touted online as the first images of Planet X before it reaches Earth.

The photographs were posted on the arcticstardesign.com discussion forum by a user named Dew, with the caption 'Nibiru Incoming! Infrared Monster Approaching (IRMA)!!!' Dew wrote under his post: "It was aiming at Virgo’s lower half at 2:43pm – 2:46pm during the total solar eclipse using Canon EOS Rebel T3 with Hoya Infrared (pass-through) filter." A second set of images was supposedly taken on September 5, to further prove Nibiru's approach. Dew said: "Images above taken from Bradenton, Florida aiming at Virgo’s lower half between 9:24pm – 9:27pm using Canon EOS Rebel T3 with Hoya Infrared (pass-through) filter.

"We still need to pinpoint the exact location and best exposure shutter speed to use, and then input into Stellarium." If the pictures taken by the online user are real, then they could suggest that Planet X is heading towards Earth. But the outrageous claims have been dismissed by leading astronomers and scientists who have said that Nibiru is nowhere near Earth – because it does not exist.

Nasa, the world's leading scientific expert in astronomy has labelled Planet X an online hoax. Scores of conspiracy theorists are convinced that Nibiru is hurling towards Earth to marks the start of the apocalypse. The popular online theory purports that Nibiru will appear over Earth to trigger earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis with its powerful gravitational waves. The Planet X conspiracy has been circling the internet since the mid 1990s, but no concrete proof of Nibiru's existence has since emerged.</s>Nibiru, or Planet X as it is also known, is a theorised mini solar system consisting on a sun and some planets and moons which is alleged to be lurking on the edge of our solar system with a 3,600 year orbit of the sun. Nibiru believers are convinced the "rogue system" is making its way from the outer solar system inwards, where it will wreak havoc on Earth as it passes at about four million miles away, but causes the poles to switch and great earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. One main purveyor of the theory is Christian conspiracy theorist David Meade, who also predicts the mythological planetary system will appear in the sky on September 23. He claims it will then pass the Earth in October, causing the start of the Rapture with huge volcanoes and volcanic eruptions due to its gravitational force.

However, the author who penned the book Planet X - the 2017 Arrival, says he believes Nibiru passed Earth before to cause the great Biblical floods. In a promotional blurb for his book on Amazon, Mr Meade said: "The jet stream of the northern hemisphere has shifted to the south of the equator for the first time ever. "I believe that this shift is caused by an incoming dark star solar system, a binary twin of our sun, that is coming at us toward the south pole. "This system also came in the days of Noah. It totally destroyed the Earth's surface and his civilisation and world, but not the planet itself. "This solar system has moons and/or planets orbiting it just as our sun has planets orbiting it. "The dark star was called Nemesis by the ancient Sumerians. One of the planets orbiting Nemesis was called Nibiru by the Sumerians, a planet that will come by the Earth with so much gravitational and magnetic pull that it will create the horrors described in the book of the Revelation. Our people are calling this Planet X." Paranormal researchers believe that Planet X is now approaching Earth following its huge orbit.

Website Planet X News writes: “Several Earth changes that are now ongoing are indicators of increased Earth wobble which in turn should tell us a pole shift event is imminent. “All this indicates to us that the Nibiru system has arrived in our neighbourhood, the inner solar system. “This Earth wobble has intensified even more within this last month (August) and so has the extreme weather. “What has happened along the coasts of South America has shown how intense this Earth wobble phenomenon has become.”

Fortunately for us, NASA also says the Planet X theory is a hoax, and no such system exists or will pass the Earth. NASA scientist Dr David Morrison said: "There is no credible evidence whatever for the existence of Nibiru. There are no pictures, no tracking, no astronomical observations. "I can quite specifically say how we know Planet X or Nibiru does not exist and does not threaten the Earth. "Firstly, if there was a planet headed into the inner solar system that was going to come close to the Earth, it would already be inside the orbit of Mars, it would be bright, it would be easily visible to the naked eye - if it was up there it would be easy to see it, all of us could see it."</s>If Nibiru were heading toward Earth, it would be visible to the naked eye.

The end of the world is upon civilization, at least as far as some are concerned, but the crutch for their argument doesn’t exist. The doomsday conspiracy claims the fictitious planet Nibiru, also called “Planet X,” will slam into Earth Saturday, Sept. 23, and decimate the world.

The problem with this argument, which is currently being peddled by conspiracy theorist David Meade, is that there is no such thing as Nibiru. The hoax was dismantled by NASA in 2012 after people feared for the end of their lives Dec. 21, 2012. The Mayans supposedly predicted it was Armageddon. The day after NASA released a Q&A report about why the world didn’t end.

The main explanation was because Nibiru isn’t real and that the end of the Mayan calendar didn’t mean the end of the world.

“Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system; the closest it can come to Earth is about 4 billion miles,” NASA wrote.

Short story: If it wasn’t true in 2012, it likely isn’t true now.

“The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth,” NASA explained. “This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012 and linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 — hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012.”

In an interview with The Washington Post, the Meade said he based his doomsday prediction off of several Bible verses and numerical codes. He also cited the Aug. 21 solar eclipse as a sign.

“Jesus lived for 33 years,” he told the publication. “The name Elohim, which is the name of God to the Jews, was mentioned 33 times (in the Bible). It’s a very biblically significant, numerologically significant number. I’m talking astronomy. I’m talking the Bible … and merging the two.”

Meade came up with Sept. 23 as the day the world ends because it will be 33 days since the solar eclipse.

“We’re all watching for the ‘September 23 Sign’ because we know it means the end of the ‘Church Age,'” he wrote on his website. “That is a spiritual sign only. But it is huge. When the trumpet judgments of Revelation begin to appear, we don’t know the exact sequence or what countries or people will be primarily affected.”

Leading the claims is fundamentalist Christian David Meade, who wrote the book Planet X - The 2017 Arrival, detailing the theory that a rare astrological sign tomorrow was predicted the Bible as a sign that Nibiru was coming and The Rapture would be upon us. In his book, Mr Meade claims that the US Government has been aware of the passing of Planet X for years, but has covered it up, while secretly preparing safety bunkers for those in the know. Mr Meade wrote: "In the 1990s laser machines existed that could drill seven miles per day into a mountainside "In 2001 it was announced 2.3 trillion was missing from the Pentagon’s budget. "Several years later that unexplained deficit was 6.5 trillion. How many deep underground military bases (DUMBS) do you think you can build with that type of black ops budget?

"At least a 100. How many do you need for nuclear protection? A couple, maybe? "What are the rest for? Planet X is the only answer. You just have to follow the money." He said DUMBS exist at Site R at Raven Rock, Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania, which can act as an alternate Pentagon, the Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center at Bluemont, Virginia, Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado and the Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia, which he said has "facilities large enough for all of Congress." Mr Meade is not the only one pedalling the conspiracy theory.

In a YouTube video Sky Watcher Matt Rogers, a conspiracy theorist who scours the sky for evidence of Nibiru, said he believed it was happening and showed pictures of drilling equipment. Mr Rogers, who is based in the UK, claims in the video that world leaders know Nibiru is coming, and we are all doomed, but they are keeping it from the public to prevent panic, as they wait to hide in underground bunkers. The facilities that Mr Meade listed exist, however, there is no evidence to suggest they are for hiding from Planet X. Nibiru, or Planet X as it is also known, is a theorised mini solar system consisting on a sun and some planets and moons which is alleged to be lurking on the edge of our solar system with a 3,600 year orbit of the sun.

Fortunately for us, NASA also says the Planet X theory is a hoax, and no such system exists or will pass the Earth.

Conspiracy theorist and book author David Meade predicted that a mythological rogue planet known as Nibiru (sometimes known as Planet X) would collide with Earth and that the world would end on this day.
