A Great War will ignite the world. Global famine, severe food shortages will soon follow. The Earth will convulse under a massive asteroid or nuclear missile strike. One-third of all trees on Earth will burn. One-third of the light from the sun, the moon, the stars will be blocked by smoke and ash covering the Earth. Every living creature remaining in the sea will die. All rivers and springs will turn to blood. There will be a great plague of snow and hail coming upon the Earth.
The end of the world is near. Again! For centuries, doomsdayers and self-styled prophets have claimed to know about the end of the world, emphasizing that their version of the apocalypse will come true.
Of course, none of the end of the days predictions so far have come true – humankind and the earth is still here, and thriving. But what when it does come?
