What's with people fascination with the ending of the world. Do you want the world to end or what's your problem. You probably started a church and it failed and decided to 'end the world'. The world has miserably failed to end more than 23 times and will end at least 2more times.
People are sick in the head, especially people with money and power like Oprah, who has started her own church. According to Oprah, heaven is in your mind and Jesus dying on the cross is symbolic; it never happened. Then on the flip side according to James David Manning, Oprah is the antichrist and Obama is part of the trinity of hell....What!!!
People just can't stop...Here is some advice...on second thoughts I don't have any advice. Notice all the people who 'ended the world' were rich and famous or religious leaders of big congregations or really tiny congregations like the House of Yahweh guys. One group believes they have access to it all, the other are desperate attention seekers..Nonsense..Hatukuji kanisa yenu!
How do people just calculate out of their little tiny thoughtless heads. Some pope (Innocent III) decided that since Islam started in 618AD and if you add 666 you get 1284AD then that's when the world will end. Then there's the group that thought it was 6th June 2006 (6/6/6), then there's those who say that 11:34pm is when the devil is most active coz if you turn your digital watch upside-down it will read hE:ll, then paka akilia usiku wanafikiri wamerogwa. I wish people would just be thrown to an green island alone so that they can learn to keep their useless thought to themselves. Then there's jihad guys who believe they'll get 72 virgins in heaven...72 virgins? Are you serious? You can't successfully handle 1 wife on earth you think that when you go to heaven god (intentional small caps) will give you super-sexual abilities to handle 72?
I digress...Where was I? So, there are 2 more significant world endings 12/12/2012...Notice the roundness of the date, just like 1/1/1000 by Nostradamus and there's the year 3797 when Nostradamus's predictions suddenly stop...hence the world ends.
There are 5 notable world endings:
January 1st 1000AD:
The months leading up to the new millennium were tumultuous. Many pilgrims, knights, and others made a trip to Jerusalem, thinking that the Apocalypse and Armageddon was upon them. During their trip there, many died of disease and hunger. Some pilgrims even sold all their belongings in the hope that it would help them become one of the chosen few to ascend. Needless to say, the world was relatively safe when the calendar rolled over and many pilgrims were left homeless.
The Millerism Era (The Great Disappointment):
There was this preacher named William Miller. He studied the Bible extensively and after doing some calculations, he became convinced that the world was going to end sometime in 1843. He double checked his answers for 4 years and then in 1822 went public in a document with his declaration. He said the world would end between March 21, 1843 and March 21, 1844. When nothing happened, he pushed the date back to April 18, 1844. Another man within this movement, now known as Millerism, predicted the final doomsday date of October 22, 1844. When nothing happened (again), it became known as “The Great Disappointment.” The Millerism movement weakened after that and the thousands of followers were left confused and in disbelief.
March 10, 1982 (Jupiter Effect):
What’s so special about March 10, 1982? Well on that day, the planets were all on the same side of the sun. While the planets were not exactly in a straight line, many people saw this event as a sign of the end times. The “Jupiter Effect” was supposed to wreak havoc over tidal forces, cause earthquakes and hurricanes, and almost every other natural disaster you can imagine. Well, we’re still here.
1st Jan 2000:
The infamous Y2K situation. Futurists had visions of toasters attacking their owners with weaponized toast and lawn mowers chasing after gardeners (seriously). Governments around the world feared that computers and electronic systems would read the digits “00″ as 1900, instead of 2000. There is no doubt that at least a few of the people who showed up in Times Square in New York that night were expecting to go out in a blaze of glory. Much to their dismay, the Y2K situation passed relatively harmlessly.
6th June 2006
If you write that date in short form, it comes out 6/6/06. As you may know, the number ’666′ is referred to as the sign of the devil. Religious sects were informing everyone they could that the Antichrist was returning to Earth and that people should prepare themselves. Either the Antichrist never came, or he got stuck in traffic because Earth still stands.
The Germanic Flood that never came
In 1499, the German mathematician and astronomer Johannes Stöffler predicted that a vast flood would engulf the world on February 20, 1524. (His calculations foretold 20 planetary conjunctions during this year—16 of which would take place in a “watery sign,” a.k.a. Pisces.)
In Europe, more than 100 different pamphlets were published endorsing Stöffler’s doomsday prophecy. Business boomed for boat-builders, not least for German nobleman Count von Iggleheim, who constructed a three-story ark on the Rhine.
Although 1524 was a drought year in Europe, a light rain did fall on the designated day. Crowds of people—hoping to gain a seat on Iggleheim’s ark—began to riot. Hundreds were killed and the count was stoned to death.
If you need more info here is a downloaded list of world ending dates that miserably failed.
About 90 AD: Saint Clement 1 predicted that the world end would occur at any moment.
2nd Century AD: The Montanist movement predicted that Jesus would return sometime during their lifetime and establish the New Jerusalem in the city of Pepuza in Asia Minor.
365 AD: Hilary of Poitiers, announced that the end would happen that year.

About 90 AD: Saint Clement 1 predicted that the world end would occur at any moment.
2nd Century AD: The Montanist movement predicted that Jesus would return sometime during their lifetime and establish the New Jerusalem in the city of Pepuza in Asia Minor.
365 AD: Hilary of Poitiers, announced that the end would happen that year.
| 375 to 400 AD: Saint Martin of Tours, was convinced that the end would happen sometime before 400 AD. | |
| 500 AD: This was a nice round year like 1000 ,1500 and 2000 which were also world ending dates. The antipope Hippolytus and an earlier Christian academic Sextus Julius Africanus had predicted Armageddon at about this year. | |
| 968 AD: An eclipse was interpreted as a prelude to the end of the world by the army of the German emperor Otto III. | |
| 992: Good Friday coincided with the Feast of the Annunciation; this had long been believed to be the event that would bring forth the Antichrist, and thus the end-times events foretold in the book of Revelation. Records from Germany report that a new sun rose in the north and that as many as 3 suns and 3 moons were fighting. There does not appear to be independent verification of this remarkable event. | |
| 1000-JAN-1: Many Christians in Europe had predicted the end of the world on this date. As the date approached, Christian armies waged war against some of the Pagan countries in Northern Europe. The motivation was to convert them all to Christianity, by force if necessary, before Christ returned in the year 1000. Meanwhile, some Christians had given their possessions to the Church in anticipation of the end. Fortunately, the level of education was so low that many citizens were unaware of the year. They did not know enough to be afraid. Otherwise, the panic might have been far worse than it was. Unfortunately, when Jesus did not appear, the church did not return the gifts. Serious criticism of the Church followed. The Church reacted by exterminating some heretics. Agitation settled down quickly, as it later did in the year 2000. | |
| 1000-MAY: The body of Charlemagne was disinterred on Pentecost. A legend had arisen that an emperor would rise from his sleep to fight the Antichrist. | |
| 1005-1006: A terrible famine throughout Europe was seen as a sign of the nearness of the end. | |
| 1033: Some believed this to be the 1000th anniversary of the death and resurrection of Jesus. His second coming was anticipated. Jesus' actual date of execution is unknown, but is believed to be in the range of 27 to 33 AD. | |
| 1147: Gerard of Poehlde decided that the millennium had actually started in 306 AD during Constantine's reign. Thus, the world end was expected in 1306 AD. | |
| 1179: John of Toledo predicted the end of the world during 1186. This estimate was based on the alignment of many planets. | |
| 1205: Joachim of Fiore predicted in 1190 that the Antichrist was already in the world, and that King Richard of England would defeat him. The Millennium would then begin, sometime before 1205. | |
| 1284: Pope Innocent III computed this date by adding 666 years onto the date the Islam was founded. | |
| 1346 and later: The black plague spread across Europe, killing one third of the population. This was seen as the prelude to an immediate end of the world. Unfortunately, the Christians had previously killed a many of the cats, fearing that they might be familiars of Witches. The fewer the cats, the more the rats. It was the rat fleas that spread the black plague. | |
| 1496: This was approximately 1500 years after the birth of Jesus. Some mystics in the 15th century predicted that the millennium would begin during this year. | |
| 1524: Many astrologers predicted the imminent end of the world due to a world wide flood. They obviously had not read the Genesis story of the rainbow. | |
| 1533: Melchior Hoffman predicted that Jesus' return would happen a millennium and a half after the nominal date of his execution, in 1533. The New Jerusalem was expected to be established in Strasbourg, Germany. He was arrested and died in a Strasbourg jail. | |
| 1669: The Old Believers in Russia believed that the end of the world would occur in this year. 20 thousand burned themselves to death between 1669 and 1690 to protect themselves from the Antichrist. | |
| 1689: Benjamin Keach, a 17th century Baptist, predicted the end of the world for this year. | |
| 1736: British theologian and mathematician William Whitson predicted a great flood similar to Noah's for OCT-13 of this year. | |
| 1792: This was the date of the end of the world calculated by some believers in the Shaker movement. | |
| 1794: Charles Wesley, one of the founders of Methodism, thought Doomsday would be in this year. | |
| 1830: Margaret McDonald, a Christian prophetess, predicted that Robert Owen would be the Antichrist. Owen helped found New Harmony, IN. | |
| 1832?: Joseph Smith (1805-1844) was the founder of the Church of Christ, which became the Restorationist movement after many schisms. It now includes The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- a.k.a. the Mormons, and about a hundred other denominations and sects. He heard a voice while praying. He wrote, in Doctrines and Covenants section 130: |
14: "I was once praying very earnestly to know the time of the coming of the Son of Man, when I heard a voice repeat the following:"The year in which this event occurred is not recorded. However, one commentator suggested 1832 or earlier. 16 Smith is later recorded as having said:
15: "Joseph, my son, if thou livest until thou art eighty-five years old, thou shalt see the face of the Son of Man; therefore let this suffice, and trouble me no more on this matter."
16: "I was left thus, without being able to decide whether this coming referred to the beginning of the millennium or to some previous appearing, or whether I should die and thus see his face."
17: "I believe the coming of the Son of Man will not be any sooner than that time." 14
"I prophesy in the name of the Lord God, and let it be written--the Son of Man will not come in the clouds of heaven till I am eighty-five years old." 17Smith would have reached the age of 85 during 1890. Unfortunately, by that year, Smith had been dead for almost a half century, having been assassinated by a mob. Note that his prophecy is ambiguous. It can be interpreted that:
| Jesus would return during 1890 (which did not materialize) or that | |
| 1890 would pass without Jesus' return (which did come to pass). |
