Christian researcher says world will now end in October

The initial prediction said the world would end on September 23, 2017. This date has been reversed.

Today is Sunday, September 24, meaning the world is still going on, sorry Meade. Now that his prediction has proven wrong, the researcher has a new date for rapture.

According to Daily Mail, Meade says that we should still prepare for the end of the world which has just been delayed but will now happen in October.

Basically, what he is saying is that this Saturday is only the beginning of the end times. Thus, we should be looking out for deadly events, that will eventually lead to the end of the world as we know it.

Speaking to the Washington Post, he said, “The world is not ending, but the world as we know it is ending. A major part of the world will not be the same from the beginning of October.”

Yahoo 7 News reports that September is the “sign month”, that will “get the ball rolling” and trigger the apocalyptic events (a “tribulation period”) that will lead to the end of the world.

Meade’s prediction is based on the Bible and Planet X, also known as Planet 9 or Nibiru, which he says will pass the Earth on September 23rd in his book called ‘Planet X — The 2017 Arrival.’

His theory was initially aided when a new planet was discovered by NASA in the solar system.

Still, NASA is dismissing Meade’s claims with an updated post titled: 'Beyond 2012: Why the World Didn’t End.' It was originally posted in 2012.

It said: “Various people are “predicting” that 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.

“The story of Niburu has been around for years (as has the “days of darkness” tale) and is periodically recycled into new apocalyptic fables.”

“News flash: the world didn’t end on Dec. 21, 2012. You’ve probably already figured that out for yourself.

“Despite reports of an ancient Maya prophecy, a mysterious planet on a collision course with Earth, or a reverse in Earth’s rotation, we’re still here.”

Meanwhile, Christian pastors and theologists have spoken out against Meade’s prediction with most criticising it.

With all of this controversy, do you think the world is ending in October?
