If you had big plans this weekend, David Meade regrets to inform you that the world will be ending Saturday.
Meade, a Christian numerologist and self-described "researcher," says Sept. 23 is foretold in the Bible's Book of Revelation as the day a series of catastrophic events will begin, and as a result, "a major part of the world will not be the same," the Washington Post reports.
The Bible prophecies a woman "clothed with the sun" and a "crown of 12 stars" giving birth to a boy who will "rule all the nations" while she fights off a seven-headed dragon. The woman, Meade says, is the constellation Virgo, which on Saturday will be positioned under nine stars and three planets, per Popular Mechanics.
The baby boy will be the planet Jupiter, which will be moving out of Virgo on that night.
According to Meade, who says he studied astronomy at an unspecified university in Kentucky, the great change in our world will be the result of the arrival of Nibiru, a planet famous in conspiracy circles but which astronomers say doesn't exist.

It is not "REvelationS", it is Revelation, singular. A single revelation. A more proper title would be "The Revelation of Jesus Christ". Or perhaps "The Revelation of Jesus Christ given to St. John". But NOT: "The Revelations of St. John the Divine". Because St. John would be no more divine than you or I.
Next, Mr. Roberts, you need to do like other modern televangelists. Cherry pick some verse from the bible to support giving to your misery. Then use the actual verse number (especially good for higher numbered verses) to indicate the dollar amount that people should contribute to your misery. Don't bother to point out that the verse numbers are NOT considered inspired as they were added to the text at a much later point in time.
Next, it is NOT Soddam and Ghamorah; the correct speling is Saddam and Gonorrhea.
Next, Why are Christians usually the stupidest people in the room? Likely answer: God uses the foolish things to confound the wise. (numerous references to this in the Bible.)
