World really will end Wednesday, insists Christian group
According to The Guardian: “The eBible Fellowship, an online affiliation headquartered near Philadelphia, has based its prediction of an October obliteration on a previous claim that the world would end on 21 May 2011”.
Like a bad sequel, it’s once again time for the “end of the world” as we know it (so well).
McCann added that the Bible says the world will be obliterated “with fire” on Wednesday. That’s when “God shut the door of heaven”, eBible Fellowship says in an online brochure explaining its prediction. However, McCann claimed Camping’s original prediction of May 21, 2011, was correct as God’s “judgment day”, rather than doomsday.
In 2011, the warnings of the apocalypse were led by preacher Harold Camping, who spread his word through his radio station and thousands of billboards in cities across the United States.
Scientists agree that the end of the world is coming. Camping died in 2013, but his catastrophic 2011 prognostication still holds weight with McCann’s group. The eBible Fellowship believes that God said he would devote 1,600 days to this task – bringing us to 7 October 2015.
If you have plans for Thursday you might want to move them forward a day, because a Christian group in the United Sates is predicting the end of the world, on Wednesday. The apocalyptic prediction comes just one week after the blood moon had people forecasting the end was near.
“There’s a strong likelihood that this will happen”, McCann said, but quickly reassured us all the opposite is still likely: “Which means there’s an unlikely possibility that it will not.” Certain religious leaders had said the blood moon could trigger a chain of events that could result in the apocalypse in as little as seven years. The most supported hypothesis is that the sun will slowly increase in temperature, expanding as it does so.
This is expected to happen in about 7.6 million years. So, they’re not quite calling the May date a failure but the beginning of the end.
