Doomsday prophet David Meade calls April 23 apocalypse prophecy ‘fake news’

SOME sequels should never be made.

Nibiru’s time was up decades ago.

But, still, the so-called prophecy keeps being remade.

The plot sounded like the stuff of a good movie. The first time.

A rogue, dark planet is lurking in our solar system. Its orbit coincides with mass cataclysms in our own’s history. Some say there are even the remnants of an ancient civilisation clinging to life on its near-invisible surface ...

It’s an eclectic concoction of ideas drawn from bad interpretations of a variety of ancient myths and interpretations of the bible — and much more that is simply made up.

This time, even its latest prophet — David Meade — says the world won’t end on April 23.

He should know.

He’s got the prediction wrong three times in the past year alone.

HE’S NOT THE MESSIAH ...
Meade has told The Guardian that predictions the world will end tonight are “fake news”.

He didn’t describe what kind of news his previous prophecies were.

But he insists the planet will appear some time this year (that’s 2018, not 2017 as he previously stated).

And it won’t destroy the Earth in one fell swoop.

Instead ...

The pagan planet will spark the Christian “Rapture”, where the messiah Jesus returns to save his chosen few, leaving the rest behind.

It will herald the beginning of a very long series of events that will eventually lead to the end times more than 1000 years from now.

So ... what’s new?

Events happen — and have been happening — all the time.

And we know the end of the world will happen somehow, at some time.

Now all Meade needs to win himself fame and fortune as an incredibly vague prophet is for the planet to turn up.

And for 144,000 people to disappear in one day (which may take about 48 hours given the different time zones).

“So the world isn’t ending anytime soon — in our lifetimes, anyway!” Meade told The Guardian.

Clearly, he doesn’t expect to be ‘raptured’.

SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS
Nope, there’s no indication that anything matching the description of Nibiru lurking out there.

NASA has put its future on the line, saying it knows of nothing about to hit Earth.

SETI has dismissed the claims.

But there are indications of rogue planets in our Solar System.

Call it Planet X, or Planet 9 now that Pluto’s been demoted: There are clues in the position and shape of the orbits of asteroids and comets far beyond Pluto that there could be something big out there.

If its own orbit brought it any closer to Earth, the same gravitational influence that exposed its existence in the Kuiper Belt would show up on the planets of the inner Solar System.

But there is also the chance that Meade was right ... with the ammendum that his prophecy applies to the past, and not the future.

We’ve found traces of a Nibiru.

Fragments of a meteorite that tumbled to the surface of our planet about a decade ago contains physical evidence that there may once have been another world roaming our Solar System.

Traces of diamond were found inside what is called the Almahata Sitta meteorite.

These were likely formed in the intense pressure and heat of a planet’s core about 4.55 billion years ago.

“We demonstrate that these large diamonds cannot be the result of a shock but rather of growth that has taken place within a planet,’ he told The Associated Press.

He says a pressure of 200,000 bar (2.9 million psi) would be needed to form this type of diamond. To do this, the primeval planet would have had to be somewhere about the size of Mercury or Mars.

And there is a scientific hypothesis that Earth has been hit by a planet before. Dubbed Theia (not Nibiru), it may have struck our planet, blowing molten debris into space. This later gathered together again, forming the Moon.
