Ten Signs of the Apocalypse

Ten Signs of the Apocalypse

My insomnia is back, and I think I know why. As we edge deeper into the year 2011, I can’t help but dwell on the fact that it won’t be long until 2012 is upon us. According to doomsday prophets, the Mayan calendar , the Holy Bible and a rather so-so John Cusack film, we, apparently, have a date with destiny.

The end of the world is coming – why the rush to predict it?

The end of the world is coming – why the rush to predict it?

The end of the world is coming! How’s that for an attention-grabber? One of the best ones, really. It’s always someone somewhere who feels the need to remind you that your days are numbered and that last number is fast approaching.

America and the Great Disappointment

He’s proud of cutting the budget at expense of poor and at no cost to corporate America. What will Obama say next? I was considering having myself dusted with ash and measured for sackcloth last week, so many are the current predictions of impending apocalypse.

If It’s the End of the World As We Know It… I Feel Fine…

If It’s the End of the World As We Know It… I Feel Fine…

I suppose it pays to be Christian right now; particularly, one of those Christians who consistently forewarns of the end of days. You know the ones who have a sense of urgency that lends to rapid eye movement (R.E.M.) as they rabidly foam at the mouth about the return of Christ.

Sign of the Apocalypse? Bunker Sales Increase After Japan Earthquake

In times of natural disaster, war and nuclear fears — not to mention the Mayan calendar predicting that the world will end in 2012 — it’s only natural that people would consider buying space in luxury fallout shelters. Right?

Out in the city: is this the end of my world?

Out in the city: is this the end of my world?

Has no one else seen the film 2012? Is this not what is happening before our very eyes? I found watching the film stressful, it struck a fear inside me that I didn’t like, nor did I sleep that night. I fret about having to pack up my stuff and head off to find some ark in the Himalayas as the world falls apart around me. I am hoping that the Mayans and their stupid calendar were wrong.

End of the world as we know it?

End of the world as we know it?

I feel fine. But, according to a handful of people that passed through the area last week, the end is nigh. Project Caravan, as they’re called, is a team of non-denominational Christian Family Radio listeners who are voluntarily driving a fleet of 20 identical rolling-billboard RV’s in four separate groups around the country to let people know that May 21 is the day of the Biblical rapture.

2012: Definitely the End of the World as We Knew It

There’s been a lot of chatter for the last few years about the world ending in 2012. And this ain’t your run-of-the-mill, buy-some-guns-and-dried-food-and-head-for-the-hills sort of end of the world. Nope. This one has the whole planet imploding or exploding, reversing its poles, losing its atmosphere, getting peppered by moon-sized asteroids, or just burning up in a big house fire.
