We picked up a pamphlet in Union Square to see why so many people are talking about the world ending on May 21, 2011.

It turns out the theory comes down to two numerological proofs.

The first proof is based on Genesis 7:4, when God said to Noah: "Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made."

When God referred to seven days, he meant both seven days and seven thousand years, because "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." The flood occurred in 4990 BC. Seven thousand years later is 2011.

The second proof looks at the significance of the number of days between the Crucifixion and May 21, 2011.

There are 722,500 days between these dates. 722,500 is a significant number because it is composed of the significant numbers 5x10x17x5x10x17. Five signifies redemption; ten signifies completion; and 17 signifies heaven. The numbers represent the day of redemption (5) and the end of the Christian era (10) and the ascent to heaven (17) -- and these factors are doubled for added significance.

We'll know for sure soon.***********

What about them calendar adjusments that've been made by some-a-them popes or emperors or people what's in charge?

Ken Macfarlane · May 16, 2011

All hogwash, like all the thousand other world end predictions! It must me very difficult for the people who get sucked in to wake up the next day and have to get back on their tractor and finish planting in this mud.

Some in AR are making large buck saving the ones who want to be saved when the world ends in 2012. Baker did something in that area and only had to send a small amount of time in Pipe Stone, MN.

"When God said"
Plant the corn,at least that is visible.

rrlund · May 16, 2011

YA,I seem to remember that back in the 1700s sometime,there was an entire 3 weeks that got skipped one year to bring the calendar closer in line to the natural seasons.

Matthew 24:36

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

There is your answer

You beat me to it!

In my 63 years, I've seen about 2 dozen "We have proof the world is about to end" predictions that came and went without any fan fair.

This is yet another.

Plant your corn.

RRLund... Wow You remember that??

That is the most retarded thing I've read in a long time. I feel dumber for having read it.

I am 65 years old and I remember several End of World Predictions.
Several years ago, there was a large group of people predicting the end and they were selling all ther pocessions.
My 7 year old son asked me what they were saying so I explained as simply as possible.
He then asked me why they were selling their stiff--why not just give it away???????

Michael Soldan · May 16, 2011

.did they by any chance mention the army corps of engineers?........

Absent Minded Farmer · May 16, 2011

I'll second that. It just makes sense, would you tell the planet when you're going to pull the plug?

Well?

NawlensGator · May 16, 2011

If you spent more than 5 seconds researching that crap, that's 5 seconds of your life wasted. Think I'll sleep in on the 21st.

Acts 1:7 And he said to them 'It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father has put in his own authority"

Tony in Mass. · May 16, 2011

Yes, the old Gregorian ? calender was slow a few hours a year, after a while the paper has to catch up with the stars. The real Y2K, was in-like late 1997?, the year Christ was born according to the year of emporor Tiberius, corrected in the colonial years. Between the last few major earthquakes, they say the planet lost 8 seconds, seems to rotate a bit slower, and a couple degrees off of true north than it usually is. None of that sounds good, no mater what day it is. I guess the Russian Orthodox church updated its calender a couple days last year, and the Chinese calender had a 72 hour New Year's Eve a while ago... lots of asprin needed after that party huh?

VADAVE · May 16, 2011

Come-on!!!!
This smacks of people just dreaming up reasons.
BTW by my calculations that 7000 and -4990 come to 2010. So you all missed it by a year.

teddy52food · May 16, 2011

Like the magazine that is predicting the end next year but they will renew your subscription for 3 years!

Tramway Guy · May 16, 2011

There was no year zero....so 2011 is technically correct. But that is why all those who predicted the end of the world last year were wrong.

Well, that plus it was B.S. to begin with. People have been predicting the end of the world since the beginning of recorded history.
Bottom line is; don't go on credit card binge spending spree just yet!!!!!

Hoss In ME · May 16, 2011

You been smoking too much of that stuff you planted out in the back 40 last year! Hoss

Mike (WA) · May 16, 2011

Mrs. and I are going to Seattle to move our daughter and son-in-law to the little farm they bought near Maple Valley. Have to pressure wash the horse trailer for use as moving van, buy diesel at $4.50 a pop for a 200 mile trip, kids have been boxing everything up, lots of work. Gonna really suck if we all get zapped in the middle of it.

Think This may be a start of it ?
IO wish they could raise my debt ceiling without repercussions >

I'm not knocking people who read the Bible, go to Church,etc. But....... don't set your watch by anything that was handed down verbally for thousands of years and translated God-only-knows how many times from one language to another and back again.

Remember the old game where you whisper something in someone's ear, it get passed around the room and you compare what you said to what's whispered back in your ear? Now, multiply that by a gazillion iterations and you get the idea of how accurate a single sentence might be in the most passed-along document ever put on paper.

I agree with the others, plant your corn.

BobHnwOh · May 17, 2011

That refers to the second coming,concerning the Rapture,the Word of God says you will know the season,speaking to the children of God!!!
