Every year, astrologers and psychics prophesy the end of the world. Forecasts are supported by predictions of known clairvoyants, mystics and occultists. In the scientific community, such statements are always treated with a great deal of skepticism. At the same time, scientists admit the possibility of a pandemic, a collision of the Earth with a large celestial body or a series of natural disasters. The summer of 2017 once again showed how powerless we are before the elements. In the case of the apocalypse, there will be little chance of mankind surviving. Should I worry about this in the near future?
Version number 1: the end of the world on August 19, 2017. Predictions of the Matrona of Moscow and Vanga
The date of August 19, 2017 appears in the predictions of Matrona Moskovskaya. Her last prophecy really looks very gloomy:
"At sunset of the day, all people will fall to the earth, and at sunrise they will rise, and the world will become different. And people are waiting for great tribulations, which they have not yet experienced. " The Holy called the summer of 2017 a turning point for all mankind. Her prophecy regarding the end of the world is more of an allegory. Being a religious person, she often spoke about the spiritual degradation of people. According to those who decipher her predictions, she could call the end of the world a period when people will finally forget about morality and morality. According to another version, Matrona calls to think about the soul before the global cataclysm. How exactly the death of humanity will occur, the saint did not explain. Among the predictions of the Bulgarian seer Vanga, too, there is a mention of this day. According to Todor Todorov, who calls herself her closest friend, the clairvoyant said:
"Russia is facing difficult times, like wolves will torment it." Version number 2: the apocalypse on August 21, 2017. Total solar eclipse
On August 21, 2017, there will be a total solar eclipse. In the shade, most of the US will sink, namely the so-called "Bible belt", in which evangelical Protestantism is the predominant religion. The fatalists confidently declare that the end of the world is approaching, and they call upon all people to repent of their sins. Thematic websites published warnings that in the near future four horsemen of the Apocalypse will descend to Earth, and then the world will plunge into darkness.
Version number 3: space disaster on October 12, 2017. Asteroid
A sensational statement was made by the American scientist David Mead. He claims that the end of the world will come on October 12, 2017. According to his version, the cause of the death of our planet will be a collision with an asteroid. And this heavenly body will belong to the mysterious system of Nibiru, which NASA experts still call Internet mystification. However, David Meade's opinion is shared by some of his colleagues. They believe that the government is aware of the danger, but carefully conceals all information from the public. According to the scientists' forecasts, the approach of the asteroid will disturb the ozone layer of our planet, which will lead to a series of catastrophes. Russian astrophysicists have not confirmed this version yet.
Version No. 4: Judgment Day, November 15, 2017. The Ark of Gabriel
Mysterious countdown timer The End stopped at the date of November 15, 2017. The letter with reference to it was received by influential political figures and scientists as early as the beginning of 2017. The owner of the site could not be identified, but information appeared that the timer itself is located at the Amundsen-Scott station on the South Pole (Antarctica). At the same time the head of the station claims that none of the employees is involved in its creation. In Russia, the news about the project The End was immediately associated with the February 2016 event. During this period, Patriarch Kirill arrived at the Russian Antarctic station for a funeral service for the dead polar explorers. There is an opinion that in fact the clergyman brought with him the recently found ark of Gabriel. Information about the artifact, discovered in 2015 in Mecca, is carefully hidden from the media. It is known that during his excavations a large number of people were injured. According to unconfirmed reports, the Ark was secretly taken out on a Russian ship and was sent to Antarctica, accompanied by a naval armada. It is assumed that instead of a requiem, Patriarch Kirill performed a special rite over the ark, after which the artifact was transported deep into the continent. According to the legend, the ark of the Archangel Gabriel should be hidden in the place of worship and must not leave it until the end of the world. The apologists of this version are sure that after November 15 there will be an inversion of the magnetic poles, as a result of which a series of cataclysms will occur on Earth.
