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. (Remember, there's no year 0.)
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 Christian era (10) and the ascent to heaven (17) -- and these factors are doubled for added significance.
We'll know for sure in 27 days.

Women, children and minorities affected most ?
Okay, I’m in Australia. So where does this “end of earth” happen? It’s Friday right now so would this EOE happen in New York or exactly where? Would it happen in the US and we not know it for another day? Or would it happen here right after the International Date Line and you wouldn’t know for another day???? This is so confusing.
And the Lord hung a rainbow as a sign,
Won’t be water but fire next time.

A day is as a thousand years was stated that way because people of that era had no concept of millions, billions or trillions. But they knew a thousand was a lot.
I got $100 that says it won’t.
Let’s see if he buys any green bananas that week.
I think I’ll wait until May 22 before buying a new computer. You never can tell.
I didn’t know we were married...
By the way, here is a passage worth looking at (in light of the earlier prediction in 1994)...
“If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.” ~Deut. 18:22
Probably could be said about a lot of us until Obama came on the scene, certainly as it relates to trillions.
Miller did the same thing. 1843? Oops, 1844. Uh, oh .Wrong again!
Miller quit predicting after that.
I read recently scientists think 50% of the worlds water is below the surface of the earth.

“Time to go on vacation and max out the credit cards then.”
I plan to buy a 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS and not have to make the first payment. I will drive to the Yellowstone Caldera, arriving on 05-21-11 and drink a bottle of 16-year-old A.H. Hirsch Reserve bourbon until the end comes. The end of the world is actually the beginning of the Tribulation which will be started by the simultaneous eruption of the Yellowstone Caldera and a massive earthquake along the New Madrid fault line. Of course, I will be taken up in the Rapture a nanosecond before all that. YMMV.
