David Meade, a self-proclaimed "researcher" and Catholic who hit global headlines last week, believes the end of the world as we know it, as foretold in the biblical Book of Revelation, will take place next month and the 23rd was simply a sign of the oncoming of the oncoming disaster.
Writing on his website, Meade clarified his belief that the 23rd is the date of a "historical event" in the skies that would signal the oncoming rapture. Doomsday itself, he says, will begin on October 15.
That date marks the beginning of a seven-year period of tribulation. "That's when the action starts. Hold on and watch-wait until the middle of October and I don't believe you'll be disappointed," he writes.
Some things to watch out for are the loss of electrical power across the world, leading to war, famine and other perilous events.
To be clear, Meade says, "Nothing is expected to happen in September."
Meade points to the total eclipse on August 21 as a significant event which he believes acts as a precursor to the beginning of the rapture. He says the date marks a 40-day countdown to the beginning of October. "October is the month to watch."
So, why was the 23rd of such significance? As Meade told the Washington Post last week, he deduced that Saturday would mark an important event that would act as a sign for the oncoming rapture. His prediction was based on analysis of verses and numerical clues in the bible.
"Jesus lived for 33 years. The name Elohim, which is the name of God to the Jews, was mentioned 33 times [in the bible]," Meade said. "It's a very biblically significant, numerologically significant number."
Saturday marked 33 days since the solar eclipse.
Meade subscribes to the conspiracy that a 10th planet, Planet X or Nibiru, will either cross or collide with Earth, leading to a seven-year period of tribulation, or rapture. This will be followed by a millennium of peace.
NASA has repeatedly denied the existence of any such planet, including as recently as September 20.
"Various people are "predicting" that world will end Sept. 23 when another planet collides with Earth. The planet in question, Nibiru, doesn't exist, so there will be no collision."

Does that mean we are subjected to another banal discourse on the world theater of who does' what to who.
Whoopee, more drama, tense situations, cliffhangers, I can hardly stand it, my heart is in palpation, i need all those drugs that my doctor prescribes.
Ah! it was scheduled for the 23rd, thank god I am alive, I must also thank my most trusted MD for assisting me in this crisis, without his lifesaving drugs i couldn't type this post
BTW Have anyone noticed that over last few years Israeli first responders are always first to dispatch for disasters worldwide, like recently in Mexico? It was Jewish Hatzalah that was first at the WTC site during 9/11 attacks, they also were rescuing (removing evidence fron the site?) Michael Hastings (writing then a book gen. Petraus, a creator of Daesh) from his bizarre, freak ("Boston brakes"?) car accident.
Also some important meeting took or will take place in the next few weeks: historical Saudi king visit in Russia, Russian MoD Shoigu in Israel, Bahrein king in Israel, September 9-17, 2017, the 82nd International Exhibition was held in Thessaloniki, Greece, bringing together representatives of business and public organizations from all over the world - China was the honorary guest of the exhibition, interested in Greek ports. Maybe that's where OBOR meets The Three Seas Initiative?
and as for mentioning the bible and how many times a certain name is mentioned, why dont you, the author of this article question where the other 27 books or letters from the bible are, and have gone to?
fear mongering, absolute bollox, just to get your name in the spotlight, should be ashamed of yourself, numerology, tarot cards, its all what you want to believe, made up hysteria.
human beings are funny creatures, claiming to know certain events, certain calamitys, so sad, just live your lives, ignore these fools.
