APOCALYPSE NOW World predicted to end in 2017 thanks to a total solar eclipse hitting America and the UK
Christian group claim scripture suggests August 21 will bring on an apocalypse
The world as we know it was supposed to end in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015 and now in 2017.European outlets reported that the eclipse will plunge countries into darkness and spark the end of the world. The rumor was the Christian website Unsealed was hedging its bets that the end of the world could happen on Aug. 21 or Sept. 23. This would happen when the Western part of Europe will experience a partial eclipse while American will experience a total eclipse. This will mark the first time history that an eclipse will be seen coast to coast.
The site responded they were not predicting that the solar eclipse "Suggesting we are is ridiculous," Unsealed responded. "The solar eclipse will have no causative effect on anything. We have made mention of the total solar eclipse that will occur on that day but only as a sign of coming judgment. Our focus has always been on the following month when the Revelation 12 sign possibly occurs."According to Revelation 12, a pregnant woman will be hunted by a satanic seven-headed dragon eager to eat her unborn child. The woman will be clothed with the "sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She brought forth a man-child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God and to his throne. The Scripture continues to explain that the "woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."Gary Ray, who writes for Unsealed, believes that the end is coming. But the pending eclipse is another astronomical sign the end is near and that the Rapture is fast approaching. He told the Washington Post that the image will be created in the sky on Sept. 23. He explained that Virgo represents the woman in Revelations 12 who will be clothed in sunlight. She will be in position over the moon and under the nine stars and three planets. Ray said that image will be created in the sky on Sept. 23.
“My number one encouragement to people would be to just trust God. More importantly, to trust the right God,” he reported to the publication. “If people want to be ready, the one thing you can do is accept what He has offered, which is the gift of grace and forgiveness. That’s all we have to do to be ready.”
