In January, someone named Mathieu Jean-Marc Joseph Rodrigue told The Daily Star that the world is going to end on June 24, 2018.
According to him, the date comes from a passage in the Book of Revelations that reads "And a mouth was given to [the Beast], speaking great things and blasphemy, and it was given authority to act forty and two months."
Combining the "42 months" number with the traditionally recognized number of the Beast, 666, as well as the "crop harvest and price" (it's still unclear what that means), he ended up with June 24, 2018.
According to Rodrigue:
"I heard a voice in the middle of the four living beings. This is wisdom. He who has intelligence can interpret the figure of the beast. It represents the name of a man. His figure is 666."Very little is known about Rodrigue otherwise.
His Facebook account is mostly barren, and he doesn't seem to have a public presence. In any case, the famous prophet and seer Nostradamus has apparently staked out 2018 as the end of days anyway, so it's not like he's covering new ground.
Our advice? Don't listen to Rodrigue, or anyone with a track record of predicting the exact date of the end of the world. If you really want to know how the world might end, listen to Stephen Hawking instead.

Is Is the beginning and end of all that Is?
Infinite perspectives form ever shifting patterns through which knowing arises though the rising of the ever new.
Is is uniquely always ever new.
The world ends billions of times per seconds - or if you prefer, it never really began as anything separate and apart from the focus of your be-holding.
The was seems to define the is as a way to become something else than Is.
And a fleeting moment already dead and gone, replaces Always.
Within this seeming gap of time - stretching back beyond possibility of recall, and extending a past made real to set the 'to be' in terms of death - because the only 'else' than being is not.
The sacrifice of Is to Not as a wish to become what a fear of Not promises while robbing you, is a mind Set.
Set the beholder into a mind of subjection to the idea of its freedom from Is.
Mind magic is a way of experiencing through a lens of Is Not or Seems.
When the seams of the Seeming fray, the mind that seemed must fall away.
The End is death or Life Always?
" But not as we knew it, Jim!"
The shift from thinking to being
is no change at all
yet everything is restored
from time to timeless.
Is there a shining Peace here?
Yes - but if you have unfinished business to attend - it will make the time your need to reconcile your Self.
Happy birthday in gifted Purpose!
April Fool's day is a bit like Christmas - in that something true is allowed to be Felt.
Taking our self lightly releases the focus in the burden of a self-serious mind Set.
What's true about Christmas?
The dawning of Is upon the mind as Recognition of Is - beneath all Seemings.
But one day is every day and one mind is every mind when the curtains are drawn.
The world must end as a separate state because the light of awareness wakes from the wish of a power that separates all things from their Source. While we may not realize we are getting the result of a wishing, we cannot make the untrue true, and nothing 'else' can know the desire and fulfilment of Is (right where we think to be). That Bridegroom cometh when ye thinketh not!
For all the aggregate conditions and events and experience of life in the Physics of a mutually agreed self-definition, the apparently individual paths within an unfolding focus of experience are free within a larger whole to have the End of the World in all kinds of seemingly personalized timelines - as a contribution to the Whole. Why is your will so powerful? Because it is not yours at all - but extends the qualities of being in all that it Is to know resonant Good. But when Is Not is placed upon the altar of your devotions, it's shadow goes forth to multiply project what it is Not by the same Law seen backwards - as an abundance of lack!
No matter what is stuffed into lack, we only grow more hollow.
More possessed of illusion and more subject to them.
Where is the spark and guide of Freedom from lack?
"Follow that carrot!"
"Don't look around now - but that stick is chasing us!"
How can we abide and open to love what is, while discarding it for the 'devil we know'?
Because even that ruse is no longer working as a cover story?
...now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last
Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?
W. B. Yeats
I think this is how the Wave effects me. Step by step, we are learning...
We all see things through our different experiences in Life and education. I see the unfolding events in the world TODAY from this background-History in THE KANSAS CITY TIMES, September 13, 1976
There are 30 months before the fate of the world will be sealed with EITHER Destruction OR the Universal Brotherhood of Man, ̈ he said. ̈The 30 month figure concerned a Treaty between Israel and Egypt. ̈
NOTE: This does not say Armageddon happens in 30 months from the article.
Not 29 or 31, but exactly 30 months later, in March 1979, history shows a Treaty between Israel and Egypt was signed, the Camp David Accord. History shows negotiations broke down on the 12th day and no Treaty was to be signed. Begin and Sadat were leaving.
It was on the 13th Day, as in the date of the Article and the picture accompanying it, an unexpected window of opportunity appeared and opened the way for the Treaty to be signed.
This signified the Universal Brotherhood part of the quote.
The 1979 Iranian Revolution happened a month earlier, and with the Trump/Bolton/Pompeo Axis of War now in place, the destruction part in the 1976 newspaper record might be happening soon?
“He came to town for the Republican National Convention and will stay until the election in November TO DO GOD'S BIDDING: To tell the world, from Kansas City, this country has been found wanting and its days are numbered [...] He gestured toward a gleaming church dome. “The gold dome is the symbol of Babylon,” he said.” [...] He wanted to bring to the Public’s attention an “idea being put out subtly and deceptively” by the government that we have to get prepared for a war with Russia.”
Not many will recognize the 1st part of those words from 'The Writing on the Wall' in Daniel 5 of the Bible, recording the demise of Babylon/Iraq and the rise of Persia/Iran. It's all happening NOW.
It looks to me, politically, this World is opting for the Destruction part, sealing the Fate.
