Earth's destruction was depicted in many ways in the film and writing industry. Perhaps that's one of the many influences of so-called conspiracy theorist to present and promulgate their theories about the end of the world. The headline suggest about a giant asteriod hitting earth weeks from now. It is a product of the research and vision claimed to be authored by a self-proclaimed prophet, Efrain Rodriguez.
In Rodriguez's prediction, the asteroid will arrive between September 21 and 28 this year. Such claim according to reports supports the Blood Moon Prophecy postulated by Christian ministers John Hagee and Mark Biltz, which states that which states that an ongoing tetrad (a series of four consecutive lunar eclipses-coinciding on Jewish Holidays-with six full moons in between, and no intervening partial lunar eclipses) which began with the April 2014 lunar eclipse is a sign of the end times as described in the Bible in Acts 2:20 and Revelation 6:12." And such disaster would supposedly happen as September 28 marks the last of four blood moons.
To make the theory more convincing, the proponent even said of having a vision of the asteroid "entering the airspace of the town of Arecibo in Puerto Rico, striking the sea between the island of Mona and Mayaguez and triggering a magnitude 12 earthquake."
The prophecy of an asteroid hitting earth weeks from now might have evoked a sense of thanatophobia among people. The prophecy went viral and even caught the attention of NASA. Obviously, NASA debunked the claim of an asteroid hitting the earth weeks from now, and said that;
"There is no existing evidence that an asteroid or any other celestial object is on a trajectory that will impact Earth. In fact, not a single one of the known objects has any credible chance of hitting our planet over the next century. There is no scientific basis, not one shred of evidence, that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth on those dates."
The answer coming straight from NASA's Near-Earth Object office in many ways gives us more time to prepare for a Deep Impact and Armageddon like scenario.
