9 Reasons Why
Conspiracy Nuts
Think Christ Could Return Any Second
By Dennis Roberts
Is there a “Planet X” hiding behind
the sun and is it about to collide with Earth? Will Comet ISON bring meteor
storms and natural disasters to our world sometime between now and early 2014? Is
Pope Francis the final pope, as supposedly predicted by Saint Malachy? Are the
strange, haunting sounds being recorded all over the world heavenly trumpets
warning of looming judgment?
I just
heard a whole bunch of people say, “Huh?”
If you were
a proper conspiracy nut like me, you’d know exactly what I’m talking about.
Since you last perused Hal Lindsay’s Late
Great Planet Earth in 1975, a thing called The Internet has brought a Mother Lode of information which, at the
very least, should clue us in that America and the world are imploding from
corruption, greed, and what used to be called “sin”. Whether current events are
leading to the end of days and the return of Christ – who knows? It’s a sore
subject right now; Christians have taken a hot stove approach to Bible prophecy
since Family Radio founder Harold Camping predicted Christ would return May 21,
2011.
Consequently,
you may be way behind on this conspiracy / end times discussion. This little
article is just a basic primer to familiarize you with some of the current
information and spur you to do your own examination and research. The situation
changes day to day and even minute by minute, so in some respects this article
will be outdated by the time you read it. In fact, I have had to update this
story as I write it because of the rapid changes taking place.
Bear in
mind that skeptics have debunked all these events and, in turn, believers have
debunked the debunkers, who come back and debunk some more, etc. In addition,
sophomoric hoaxers have muddied the waters with fake photos and videos.
What can’t
be denied is that the United States is crumbling, led by a president and
Congress who are (a) clueless and inept, (b) deliberately sabotaging America,
or (c) fumbling along, pretending that business continues as usual as they try
to mask a series of inevitable catastrophes which will render everything else
meaningless.
At the
bottom of this article, I’ll post links to Websites that carry information that
has been overlooked, covered up, downplayed and spun by Obama’s legion of news
monkeys.
1.
Comet
ISON, Nibiru and Planet X – Comet ISON
(International Scientific Optical Network) is the short name for Comet
C/2012 S1 discovered Sept. 21, 2012, by Vitali Nevski of Belarus and Artyom
Novichonok of Russia.
It’s headed this way. The
3-mile-wide comet is scheduled to whiz past Earth Dec. 26, 2013 some 40 million
miles distant.
Some astronomers have said the
comet could appear as bright as the moon as it approaches and passes Earth.
Scientists in white lab coats chuckle and say that’s unlikely.
“Probably it will become visible
from dark skies by mid-November, but may be tricky to see on its way in,” says
Discover Magazine columnist Corey S. Powell. “The best viewing should come in
the couple weeks after November 28, when the comet is heading away from the sun
but toward the Earth. Because of the shifting geometry, Comet ISON will
probably fade quite a bit more slowly than it brightened. Even so it may be
lost to the naked eye well before it makes its closest approach to Earth on Christmas day.”
Is ISON a harbinger – or carrier –
of disaster, or just a passing comet that might shine a little brighter than
others?
Some people think ISON will bring
a host of asteroids that will rain down on the Earth. In fact, meteoroid
fireballs are being reported with increasing frequency. Most recently,
thousands of people in the southwestern United States observed a bright
fireball that lit up the sky Nov. 6. Several similar fireballs have made the
news this year, including one on the East Coast March 22 and another Sept. 4.
And don’t forget about the 65-foot
meteor that exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia on Feb. 15, 2013, breaking
windows in hundreds of buildings and injuring about 1,500 people. One
eyewitness said the explosion was so bright and terrifying that it seemed as
though the sun was falling out of the sky. NASA scientists said it was the
biggest fireball event in a century. Since then, scientists have started
admitting that the chance of asteroids entering Earth’s atmosphere is 10 times
greater than previously thought.
Add to that the “six-tailed” comet
observed by the Hubble telescope in September. Astronomers say they’ve never
seen anything like it and are “dumbfounded,” according to London’s Daily
Mail.
“In
what they can only describe as a ‘weird and freakish’ sighting, scientists have
found what looks like a cosmic sprinkler in space…(A)steroid, P/2013 P5, which
has six comet-like tails of dust radiating from it like spokes on a wheel.” The
report goes on to say that the asteroid changed appearance from that of a
normal space rock to its current six-tailed configuration sometime between
Sept. 10 and 23.
Still, these same types of
scientists offer the same old “nothing remarkable” declarations we’ve come to
expect, saying there’s no reason to panic. (We conspiracy nuts have noticed
that official explanations usually come with a “Don’t be silly” implication in
order to deflect through ridicule any alternative view. I suspect that if a
comet flew through your house, a government scientist would quickly show up on
the news to say there’s nothing unusual about comets hitting houses. It happens
all the time!)
There is some conjecture that this
strange-acting asteroid is the “Blue Kachina” of Hopi Native American prophecy,
which supposedly will appear as a sign of the end times.
Meantime, speculation is rife
among us conspiracy nuts that NASA images of the ISON comet have been doctored
to hide the fact that (a) ISON is really a space ship and/or (b) the comet is
accompanied by two or more intelligently-guided objects.
(We conspiracy nuts think NASA for
many years has been manipulating its photographic and video images to hide
anomalies such as UFOs, artificial structures / ruins on Mars and the moon, and
anything else that doesn’t fit the narrative that the agency has found no signs
of intelligent extraterrestrial life.)
Comets have historically been
associated with apocalyptic events, and researchers have noted that Comet ISON
is appearing 666 years after a comet called Negra brushed past Earth, just
before the Black Death that historians say killed 75 million to 200 million of
the world’s 475 million people.
Then there is Nibiru or Planet X.
Author Zecharia Sitchin proposed in his 1976 book The Twelfth Planet that Nibiru is home to a race of people called
the Anunnaki, and that it has not been discovered because it takes 3,600 years
to circle the sun. I won’t attempt to explain all the aspects of Nibiru and
Planet X, but some people believe it is approaching Earth and will cause
cataclysms including enormous tidal waves, earthquakes, flooding and the death
of billions of people.
Professional astronomers say there
is no doubt that Planet X is a fabrication and there’s no point in debating it,
just as professional scientists and President Obama insist that manmade global
warming is a fact, so shut up.
As a Christian, I have a couple of
problems with Nibiru. Sitchin believed that, based on the Sumerian texts from
which he gleaned his theories, the Anunnaki created or at least modified humans
to serve as slave labor to mine for gold. It’s pretty hard to square that with
the biblical creation account.
However, some researchers believe
the Anunnaki were the same beings as the Anakim of Numbers 13:33: “And there we
saw the giants (nephilim), the sons of Anak, which come of the giants
(nephilim): and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in
their sight.”
Thus, it’s possible the Anakim
were descendants of the giant nephilim race, which some say came from fallen angels
mating with humans. This idea invites another theological debate about whether
angels can procreate with each other or with humans.
No amount of research will prove
conclusively that any of the claims about Nibiru are true or false. However,
whenever I hear any government or “official” pronouncement, I assume it is a
lie. In most cases, the louder the denials, the bigger the deception.

Strange
sounds in the sky – For the last four or five years, people all over the
globe have reported hearing eerie, other-worldly sounds resonating from the sky
or perhaps the bowels of the Earth. The sounds often resemble trumpets, freight
trains, metal grinding against metal, or foghorns.
Debunkers insist that there are
natural explanations for these phenomena, despite the fact that scientists and
government officials have not been able to discern the source or sources of the
sounds. News reports abound, but since no conclusion is available, the stories
get dropped. Eventually the noises cease and the news typists breathe a sigh of
relief and move on to more important stories, such as homosexual pride parades
and the importance of taking guns away from American citizens.
As usual, hoaxers have created
their own videos and recordings, and debunkers use these to say the whole issue
is fake.
The rest of us ask, what’s causing
these noises that were never heard before? Are they among the end-times
“wonders in the heavens above” and groaning of creation prophesied in the
Bible? Are they evidence of massive Earth changes taking place? Are they caused
by the oil extraction method of fracking? Are they triggered by America’s HAARP
installation in Alaska? (The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program is
ostensibly a method for transmitting radio communication over long distances
via the ionosphere, but conspiracy theorists believe that HAARP’s true purpose
is weather warfare and mind control.)
Regardless of the cause, the fact
is that these noises exist. When your car starts making weird noises, you know
something bad is about to happen. It’s doubtful that these sky and earth sounds
portend anything good for the inhabitants of Earth.

The
final pope? Everyone loves Pope Francis, especially people who don’t like
any mention of sin. When asked how he would respond to learning that a cleric
in his ranks was gay, though not sexually active, the pope replied, "Who
am I to judge a gay person of goodwill who seeks the Lord? You can't
marginalize these people."
On another occasion he said, “A person once asked me, in a provocative
manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: ‘Tell
me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this
person with love, or reject and condemn this person?’ We must always consider
the person. "
Catholic
apologists have said that the pope’s remarks were taken out of context.
However, Francis never clarified his remarks to say that homosexuality is sin,
a curious oversight given the epidemic of sexual perversion among Catholic
priests, which has cost the church untold millions of dollars in restitution to
victimized men and women.
On the subject of salvation, the
pope said that “all of us have this commandment at heart: do good and do not do
evil. All of us. ‘But, Father, this is not Catholic! He cannot do good.’ Yes,
he can... The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the
Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‘Father, the
atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone!...We must meet one
another doing good. ‘But I don’t believe, Father, I am an atheist!’ But do
good: we will meet one another there."
The apologists draw a distinction
between redemption and salvation, saying that atheists may be redeemed by
Christ’s sacrifice, but not necessarily saved. The distinction is lost on the
average person, who simply says, “Cool! I’ll get to Heaven no matter what!” Do
good, the pope says, and we’ll meet “there,” wherever “there” is.
Regarding evangelism, Pope Francis
said “Proselytism is solemn nonsense, it
makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and
improve our knowledge of the world around us. .. The world is criss-crossed by
roads that come closer together and move apart, but the important thing is that
they lead towards the Good.
“…Our goal is not to proselytize
but to listen to needs, desires and disappointments, despair, hope. We must
restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread
love.”
Spread love, do good, accept
everyone. This is the soft gospel the world has been longing to hear.
“I love this pope!” one commenter
said, echoing the sentiments of millions of unsaved people. People swoon over
Francis’ social outreach and apparent humility. He shuns the papal limousine to
drive his own car, he washes people’s feet, he visits inmates in prison, he
speaks out against slavery and human trafficking, he oozes guilt-free
feel-goodism, mimicking Christ’s love like a hippie tossing daisies in the air.
Tom Horn and Cris
Putnam, authors of “Petreus Romanus: The Final Pope is Here,” believe that
there will be no popes after Francis, citing the supposed prophecies of the 12th
Century archbishop Saint Malachy, first published in 1595 by a Benedictine
monk, Arnold Wion. The prophecies list 112 popes, identifying them by
characteristics rather than name.
Debunkers say the
published prophecies are fraudulent, pointing out that the list of popes is
quite accurate up until 1595, the date of publication, but hit-and-miss after
that. Horn and Putnam defend their position, saying that many priests and popes
have accepted the papal prophecies.
Whether Francis
is the final pope or not, millions of sinners will interpret his remarks to
mean that Heaven will be a love-fest of atheists, homosexuals, and “good”
people of every religion. There might even be a few Christians there, as long
as they weren’t meanies who believed that salvation involves repentance and
willful acceptance of Christ’s love and sacrifice at the Cross, and daily
following Him.
