Will Nibiru Really Cause the End of the World on Sept. 23?

With disasters of epic proportions happening here and there, some theorists claim that the world will end soon and that a hidden planet in the solar system, Nibiru, will slam into earth and cause its demise tomorrow.

Some religious groups and theorists claim that natural calamities, such as the equally devastating Irma and Maria that both battered the Caribbean region, and the earthquakes that shook Mexico, are a sign that the end of the world is near. However, for Nibiru doomsday theorists, the end of the world is happening sooner than expected as it will, supposedly, happen tomorrow, Sept. 23.

According to Nibiru doomsday theorists, there is a hidden planet in the solar system, Planet X or Nibiru, which will slam into the earth tomorrow and cause the end of all life forms. The belief on the existence of this planet is linked to a passage in the Bible, Revelations 12:1, which goes:

"A great sign appeared in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun with the moon under her feet and a crown of 12 stars on her head. And being with child, she cried out in her travail and was in anguish of delivery."

David Meade, a supporter of the said doomsday theory, the sign in the sky being referred into the passage is the total solar eclipse that happened last month while the woman in the same passage is the constellation Virgo.

"During this time frame on Sept. 23, 2017, the moon appears under the feet of the Constellation Virgo. The Sun appears to precisely clothe Virgo," Meade said.

With the supposed once in a lifetime cosmic event on Sept. 23, doomsday theorists believe that the end of the world will happen as it signals the arrival of Nibiru, which allegedly will collide with earth and destroy it. 

However, for some experts, doomsday predictions, specifically the one associated with Nibiru are not to be believed. For Nick Pope, a former UFO and other mysteries investigator for the Ministry of Defence, people who promote the Nibiru theory are a shame as the supposed mysterious planet does not even exist.

"The world won't end on Sept. 23. Shame on the people promoting this hoax in the name of evangelical Christianity. I'm certain Nibiru doesn't exist because if there really was a rogue planet heading for Earth, due to hit on Saturday, it would be visible to the naked naked eye by now," Pope told The Telegraph.

Pope suspects people who promote the doomsday theories only want to promote their brand of evangelical Christianity or for self-publicity.
