“”Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
There's always been good business predictingthe end of the world. The "end" of the "world" is pretty badly defined by most supernatural predictions. The rapture, for instance, is really just the beginning of the end, and signals civilization being sent back to the Stone Age for a bit, during which time The Chosen will be whisked up to heaven. Meanwhile, predictions of the end of the world in 2012 were wide-ranging, from a comet just tearing Earth in half (the rest of the universe spinning on as usual) to the complete and total end of everything ever. The latter is less scary because it's not like anything will be around afterwards to care. Other predictions see general massive catastrophic events that alter civilization on a fundamental level, seen with multiple predictions surrounding peak oil, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic with many different views of how they will do such a thing.
In the case of some of the science-based predictions for how the universe will go on according to our knowledge of physics, there's no "end" as such. Matter and energy still exist, but in their lowest energy and most uniform state: the rub being that this state precludes the interactions needed to produce emergent structures. This includes stars, planets, and intelligent entities capable of experiencing the universe.
Here are some examples, with the predicted date of the end of all things.
When the world is going to end it's a good idea to have a timetable of what will happen. Do not miss the last lunch and last supper. Both will be BBQ.
“”I saw one, one time, that said, "The next week, the world is ending." And in the next week's paper, they said, "We were miraculously saved at the zero hour by a koala-fish mutant bird." Crazy shit.
Zoroastrianism claims that the end of the world will happen when a comet, called Gochihr, strikes the earth. It will cause all the world's metals to melt and will burn up the world. At the same time, sinners and the pious will pass through this river of molten metal. Sinners will have their sins burnt away and the pious will feel like they're "passing through warm milk."[1]
Biblical pinpointing of the end of the world: it had already started during the earthly life of Jesus circa first century CE: "in the end of the world hath [Christ] appeared".[2]
Norse myths say that Ragnarök will involve a battle between the gods, killing all but two of the humans, who will then repopulate the earth.[note 1]
A number of scientific disasters have been suggested throughout the years. For example: epidemics,[3] various asteroids/comets, super-volcano eruptions,[4] and global warming. Note that these, like many other "end of world" predictions, would only be the end of humanity, or at most, of much/most/all life on Earth. The world itself would hardly notice the change.
2009 – whenever he dies: Barack Obama takes over as the Antichrist. He may not be President anymore, but people will do anything to make him fit to this day.[5]
Dan Sirotkin: Harvard graduate, former NSA worker, convicted felon,[6] and one of the original proponents of the Wuhan Lab leak theory[7][8] behind the Harvard2TheBigHouse blog, states that SARS-COV-2 is derived from a failed live attenuated vaccine attempted for the original SARS virus and will revert into the original SARS virus similar to how oral Polio vaccines revert into their original, more virulent form, and kill billions.[9][10][11][12][13]
Walter M. Chesnut: In time, the SARS-COV-2 spike protein in both infected and vaccinated will bring humanity into extinction unless treatments can be found.[14] Has argued this based on his research with Luc Montagnier[15]
Kevin W. McCairn: retired neuroscientist PhD and homophobic and antisemitic shitposter, suggests that HIV sequences in the spike protein for SARS-COV-2, largely centered from a discarded preprint that still has a following,[16] and its vaccines will leads to widespread prion disease, resulting in a population bottleneck.[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] How long this will play out is generally unknown to him and his followers.
Geert Vanden Bossche (Since March of 2021): A Belgian PhD veterinarian and vaccinologist has argued that mass vaccination for SARS-COV-2 has driven the emergence of numerous variants, caused immune dysregulation and will lead to the emergence of a highly virulent variant similar to the evolution of Marek’s disease,[25][26] that will kill large portions of vaccinated populations, while the unvaccinated will be protected via cell-based innate immunity from prior infections.[27][28] While many of the dates suggested by him and his followers, surrounding when this will emerge, have failed to see results, they acknowledge this and insist that it will happen in the near future.[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] He and his followers are now suggesting that COVID has reached a transmission bottleneck, one of the final signs before a highly virulent variant finally hits.[41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] In 2025, Geert has suggested that he would stop trying to give out dates for when the immune escape happens and indicated the possibility of the vaccinated survivors needing to take antivirals for the rest of their lives, while encouraging them to get infected with the flu and RSV to train their innate immune systems with the exception of immunocompromised people.[50][51][52] On January 25th, 2025, Geert has made his final message, suggesting either the immune escape, or avian flu will hit the world in fast acting antibody dependent enhancement, and discourages people from getting flu vaccines, and that the lower than usual winter wave of COVID is the result of selective pressure from other viruses, which will expedite the arrival of a highly virulent variant.[53][54] Though he has suggested instead that it would end with widespread clotting.[55] He has called for the implementation of universal vaccines that rely on NK cells and the abilities of the innate immune system that he has attempted to develop for over a decade.[56] He has since returned to the guessing game. In his final interview with Phillip McMillan, Bossche stated that COVID is now mutating the nucleocapsid protein of COVID which will create a variant without any immune response in most vaccinated individuals.[57][58]
Fast Eddy: Obscure Substack user takes Bossche's immune escape hypothesis to the next level. Eddy states that the immune escape will kill all COVID-19 vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals,[59][60][note 2] and those who survive will starve, resort to cannibalism,[61] and eventually die out as unchecked nuclear spent fuel pools boil emitting radiation globally. The reasoning behind this is that the elites knew that civilization will collapse soon due to peak oil, leading to mass violence and eventual extinction, and opted to create COVID-19 to shorten mankind’s suffering.[62][63][64][65]
Kerry Ann Gidden (During Trump’s second term): According to her, Donald Trump will be assassinated and Barack Obama (Antichrist) will take over after a sham election and the End Times will ensue.[66]
Radagast: Obscure Dutch blogger and shitposter behind Rintrah, foresees massive catastrophe as a result of H5N1, and vaccinating will make it worse.[67][68] He also anticipates disaster with monkeypox,[69][dead link][70] and considers climate change to be largely irreversible.[71][dead link] However, he has since retired from the internet claiming to have denounced the majority of his views after evaluating his mental health, and has purged his content.[72] In September of 2025, he returned.[73]
500: In what's considered the first prediction involving round numbers in the Christian calendar (hence prefiguring a lot of Y2K bullshit), Hippolytus of Rome (170-235 CE) used the dimensions of Noah's Ark and the idea of 1000-year days starting at the world's creation in 5500 BCE to predict Christ's coming in this year, writing in 234 CE. Sextus Julius Africanus had come up with something similar but without the same numerology.[77]
Muslims believed in the Qiyamah (Last Judgement), during which time Jesus[note 3] will come to earth, end all wars, and kill ad-Dajjal — the Muslim antichrist. Then every person who ever lived will be bodily resurrected, before being judged by God. The faithful go to heaven, and the rest to hell. Apparently there's also room for some "People of the Book," i.e. Jews and Christians, though hopefully there won't be any wars between the lot in heaven. Presumably God will actually do something to stop fighting within his heavenly realm, unlike on Earth, so that celestial wars would seem unlikely.
800: Another prediction from Sextus Julius Africanus (c 160-c 240 CE), who had suggested 500 CE as an alternative.[78][79] If only he'd predicted the coronation of Charlemagne, which did occur on December 25, 800 CE, but same difference, yeah?
Circa 1504: Painter Sandro Botticelli believed he was living during the End Times/Tribulation, according to an inscription on his painting The Mystical Nativity.
1524: The Great Flood of 1524 was predicted for February 4 which would coincide with a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, predicted by several astrologers including Johann Stöffler in 1499 and Johannes Carion in 1521. It was popularised by a vast number of pamphlets in the early 16th century, which has led to it being described as the first mass-media panic in history. Many people feared the worst, building boats and moving to higher ground; nothing happened, and in London, where some of the most extreme panic had manifested, it didn't even rain.[80][81]
1533: Michael Stifel, Judgement Day.[82] A common saying in German for PIDOOMA is to "calculate" or "talk a Stifel."[83]
1583: Another Great Conjunction (of Saturn and Jupiter), especially auspicious as the last in a water sign for several hundred years, it nonetheless failed to presage the end of the world. The only consequence was Pope Sixtus V issuing a papal bull, Coeli et terrae, in January 1586, condemning astrological predictions.[84]
1600 or before: Martin Luther was a keen student of the Book of Revelation, and predicted the end of the world was imminent, possibly within his lifetime (he died in 1546) and certainly by 1600.[85][86]
1666: The presence of the Number of the Beast in this date meant many people assumed it would see the end of the world, with outbreaks of bubonic plague in the years before adding to millenarian feeling.[87] The Fifth Monarchists, a millenarian English sect that sprung up during the English Civil War, believed the world would end in 1666 or before. They were influential in the radical politics of the 1650s and tried to set up a council of saints to form the fifth monarchy (following the Babylonian, Persian, Macedonian, and Roman) which they predicted would bring the end of the world, based on Daniel 2:37-44. But the Restoration of Charles II reduced their influence, and even plague and fire couldn't help.[88]
1688: First prediction by mathematician and "wizard" John Napier (1550-1617), another keen student of the Book of Revelation.[89]
1697: First of many predictions by Puritan clergyman, scientist, and witchfinderCotton Mather, who later changed his prediction to 1736, 1716, and then 1717.[90]
1700: Second prediction by mathematician and "wizard" John Napier.[89]
1806: A scam in Yorkshire involved a hen supposedly laying eggs with "Christ is coming" on them. The perpetrator, Mary Bateman, was executed shortly after.[94]
1833: The massive display by the Leonid meteor shower turned the night sky into what looked like morning light, causing some people to think that the world was about to end, including Joseph Smith who thought Armageddon was near.[95]
1843: The "Great Disappointment": William Miller predicts the end would come in 1843... then 1844... oh. His many thousands of followers reacted in different ways to his utter failure: some wised up and gave up on his predictions, while others became Seventh Day Adventists. They're still waiting. Still others became the Jehovah's Witlesses, who badly retconned Miller's prediction so they could claim it actually did happen, just not the way he predicted.
1865: predicted by Edward Bishop Elliott, a Victorian Biblical scholar; he later revised this to 1941.[97][98]
1867: John Cumming, a popular anti-Catholic clergyman who preached in Covent Garden, London, in the mid-19th century and wrote about 180 books, interpreted Biblical prophecies to predict the glorious end days would come around 1867.[99]
1873: One of several predictions by the Adventist Jonas Wendell (1815-1873); this date was contained in his 1870 book The Present Truth, or Meat in Due Season; he had previously predicted the second coming in 1868.[100]
1881: According to an 1862 edition of the prophecies of Mother Shipton, who allegedly wrote "The world to an end shall come, In eighteen hundred and eighty one."[101] (Seems she was no better at poetry than she was at prediction.)
Halley's Comet (1910) : the tail did not wag the dog
1910: Halley's Comet's tail crosses the Earth and people think that the world will be gassed to death by cyanogen gas.[104] Mark Twain predicted that he would die when it arrived, and he passed on the day after its perihelion.[105]
1914: Jehovah's Witnesses: Armageddon.[106] Charles Taze Russell, founder of the Bible Student movement which evolved into the Jehovah's Witnesses, predicted the destruction of all world governments in October 1914 (he believed Jesus had secretly returned and had been ruling the world since 1874).[107]
1941: Victorian scholar Edward Bishop Elliott, based on his interpretation of the Book of Revelation, came up with this date after his earlier predictions in the 1860s proved untrue.[110]
October 19th, 1969: Ray Bradbury predicted a calm, quiet and peaceful end to it all in the short story "The Last Night of the World", included in the 1951 anthology The Illustrated Man.[note 4]

May 2008: Followers of Pyotr Kuznetsov, 31 adults and 4 children (one 18 months old), went into a cave in Russia in November 2007 thinking they would be safe from an apocalypse occurring in the spring. Kuznetsov did not join them, was later committed and attempted suicide when some had left the cave in the spring. By the time all the followers had left the cave in the spring, two adults had died.[137]
2008 – whenever it shuts down: The Large Hadron Collider will destroy the world with black holes, strangelets, or something similarly scary and science-y.[138] You can keep up to date with whether this has happened yet.[139][140])
2009: David Wilkerson – Earth-shattering calamity engulfing the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America experiencing riots and blazing fires.[141]
2011: Harold Camping tries again – Third Second coming/rapture. May 21st, to be precise.[144] He put up billboards![145] Later postponed to October 21st, but again nothing came of it. Camping might hold on to the money people sent him if he weren't dead now, though he evidently blew a bundle on billboard advertisements.[146] though followers were encouraged to drain their savings for Camping's campaign funds and many are deeply disappointed.[147]

Unspecified time during the reign of Pope Francis, the pope succeeding Benedict XVI. Mediaeval SaintMalachy supposedly predicted Peter the Roman (Petrus Romanus) would be the last pope, Rome would be destroyed and a terrible judge would judge his people, The end.[160] Doomsayers have already started shoehorning the new pope into the prediction.[161]

2016 (May 16th): Pastor Richardo Salazar was allegedly told by God that an asteroid fully made of ice, with a 9km diameter, traveling at 30,000km per hour would strike earth killing 1,200 million people. As you probably can tell, that definitely happened and those totally dead 1,200 million people will be forever missed.[167]
2016 (June 3-4): Modern scholars got the Mayan date wrong. It was never 2012, rather it was June 2016 and there are plenty of numbers involved.[168]
2016 (June 14th-August 19th): According to this super reliable, super honest, super definitely-NOT-bullshiting "NASA scientist", there was meant to be a magnetic reversal between June and August which would cause the Van Allen belt to fall killing 80% of life on Earth. He got this information from aliens via HAARP. Yup, aliens told our good 'ol uncle Dr. Sal that the sky is falling.[169]
2016 (October 31st): Walid Shoebat alleges that the world is "100% certain" to end on this exact arbitrary nutjob date. As the basis for this claim, he refers to his own science of "Futurology 101".[170]

Past November of 2016: Obscure and extreme Nigerian Black Hebrew Israelite states that Satan will put Hillary Clinton into office, and she will start WWIII.[172]
2016 (December): Bible student and computer scientist Nora Roth subsequently revised her claim to December.[173]

2017 to 2113: Asteroids, according to the Daily Express, exaggeration based on Nasa estimates of asteroids passing near the earth.[183]
2018 (April 18 and beyond): YouTube crackpot gevte[184] has predicted the Rapture multiple times, and his predictions have all failed. One time it was April 18,[185] and he continues today. He always changes the date on his videos when his predictions pass and would scold people for not watching the signs.[186] As if anyone has read Deuteronomy 18:22.

Whenever a vaccine ends up being produced for COVID-19, numerous Christians believe it will institute the Mark of the Beast.[197]
2020: Self-acclaimed psychic and astrologer Jeane Dixon has predicted the world will end in 2020. She previously said it would end in 1962. No doubt the 2020 date seemed distant enough back then that no one would notice it was bollocks.[198]
2020: Guy McPherson stated in 2012 that humanity will be extinct by 2020.[199]
Weeks after March 8th, 2021: Geert Vanden Bossche suggested that mortality would significantly incline a few weeks after mass vaccination for COVID-19.[200]

Night of January 11/12, 2023: What time zone, dammit! – [214]
Late summer or early fall of 2023: Geert Vanden Bossche has made what was at the time, his final message, suggesting that a wave of autoimmune disorders and excess deaths would culminate in an "immune-escape" variant which he expected in the summer or fall.[215][note 8] He also has a book that is $50 physically.[216]
2023: Either Jesus is returning or a retired engineer made a mistake on their spreadsheet. It's hard to tell which.[218]
Before 2024: A web site titled "Fire from the sky: Meteors and Biblical Prophecy," predicts that a meteor (actually a meteorite) "could" hit the earth sometime between 1998 and 2023. This would cause fireballs of debris, tidal waves, supher [sic] dioxide, a "red tide" in the oceans, and a dust cloud.[219]
Winter 2023-24: During an interview with Steve Kirsch on December 14th, Geert Vanden Bossche stated that the immune escape would emerge in the coming days or weeks and kill up to 40% of all vaccinated countries.[220][221] He also considers JN.1 to be the final major variant with the highly virulent one being next.[222][41] So stock up on his suggestedantivirals for prophylaxis or you’ll pay the price.
April 8, 2024: Solar eclipse with a path that follows various places sacred to Mormonism will end the "Tribulations".[223] Either that or the Antichrist.[224]
Some time in early 2024:, A surge of mRNA vaccine deaths that will kill billions.[225]
By the end of June 2024: Geert Vanden Bossche continues his hypothesis. In March 2024, he suggested in an interview with James Howard Kunstler, that Long COVID cases will overtake turbo cancers weeks after March 31st, culminating in a variant that will cause people to collapse from multi-organ failure in less than 24 hours that he refers to as “Hivicron”.[note 9][226] He recommends, when hospitalizations surge, that the vaccinated take ivermectin as a prophylaxis, with an intake of 0.5 mg/kg per day, and that the government will mandate its use. Update: By April 10th, he suggested that the variant will hit by the end of June as temperature rise,[227][228][229] That and he still advises the vaccinated to stock up on ivermectin and have up to 3 month's worth of it.[230]
Summer 2024: Geert Vanden Bossche went on to say the end of the summer could see Hivicron.[231][232] He was also going to take a break from Substack and is now hosting a forum behind a paywall.[233] A decision in which he would immediately change his mind about.[234] However, you can only view most of his new posts by becoming a paid subscriber.
2024 (October 2nd): Ghosts619, Call of Duty YouTuber turned Christian predicted that the Rapture would happen on October 2nd during the Feast of Trumpets.[235] He did later apologize.[236]

By Christmas 2024: One of Geert Vanden Bossche's followers guesses that Hivicron would emerge before Christmas in 2024.[239]
Winter 2024-25: Radagast suggests that glycans in mutating SARS-COV-2 will give it a full glycan shield, that could cause a massive surge in either immunodeficiency or mortality similar to Geert Vanden Bossche’s predictions in the winter.[25][32][240][241][242]
Winter 2024-25: Dr. Phillip McMillan interprets UK NHS emergency data,[243] and reports in California,[244] as strong possibilities of a COVID surge along with other diseases en masse, or what he calls a STORM (Spike Triggered Autoimmune Response Mechanism).[245][29][246][247]

The church teaches, with tongue firmly in cheek, that if the human race does not discard their plastic conformity, then the Gods will withdraw their protection. The Gods don't want us to worship them; they don't want sacrifices or even offerings. They just want us to rid itself of our excessive "Normalcy". At that time, Astro-Lemurs (extra-terrestrials similar in shape to lemurs, but with rainbow colored bodies) will attack the entire human race and beat them to death with gigantic burritos.[347]
2048: Salt-Water fish extinction, according to Boris Worm, PhD, of Dalhousie University.[348]
2060: Sir Isaac Newton – Britain's greatest scientist, analyzed the Bible, which he believed contained God's secret laws of the universe. He concluded that the end of the world will happen on or after the year 2060. According to Malcolm Neaum, the producer of a TV documentary on Newton: "He spent something like 50 years and wrote 4,500 pages trying to predict when the end of the world was coming. But until now it was not known that he ever wrote down a final figure. He was very reluctant to do so.".[347][339]
2070-2250: Kermit Zarley, a lay biblical scholar and former PGA Tour professional golfer, wrote a book in 2006 titled: "The Third Day Bible Code", He uses the "third day" motif that appears throughout the Bible, couples it with the belief that "one day is like a thousand years" for God, and interprets 2 Peter 3:8 and Psalm 90:4 to predict that Jesus' return will be sometime between the years 2070 and 2250.[347]
2076: Bede the Venerable, an 8th century Christian theologian computed Jesus birth as 3,942 years after the world's creation. The Earth's 6,000 year millennial week will thus end in this year & Some Sufi sects expect, which is the year 1,500 in the Muslim calendar.[347]
Before 2100: Dr. M.H. Kahn believes that all of all other predictions in the past are invalid. He cites pasages from the Qur'an; they imply that some time in the future, the current expansion of the universe will reverse. This will cause time and gravity to reverse. He writes:
"The contraction of the universe with reversal of time and gravity will commence the beginning of the end which will last for thousands and possibly millions of years. We will be removed from the regressing effects of reversed time as we come back alive in our own time. We will the be taken across many dimensions to beyond this universe. A beautiful natural mechanism that is based on the laws of physics will cause all that to happen. This real end has nothing to do with wishful thinking and predictions of priests or shamans."[352]
2101: War was beginning.
2106: Asteroids never seem to stop and on this particular date 50 billion asteroids will hit the earth.
6/26/2116: An asteroid according to some will hit the earth.[353] This prediction has been discredited as sensationalist fearmongering.[354]
Sometime in the 2100s: The Ethical Skeptic believes in a societal collapse in 100 years.[355] Also expect the U.S. to collapse in 2047 because of turbo cancer and COVID vaccine effects in children.[356]

2240: Lope Columna - Second Coming if it isn't in 2030.[327]
2740: In UN's update from 2022, The United Nations said that after the human population reached at least 10.35 billion by 2100, humans would go extinct by this date. In the matter of less than 700 years, they'll need lower demand for resources such as water, wood, and energy, ultimately alleviating pressures on ecosystems.
11103: The Doomsday argument, first stated in 1983, predicts that there is a 95% chance that the human species will go extinct within 9120 years.[360] N.B., the nature means that every year that passes without a doomsday advances the estimated doom ahead by 2 years. The world itself will still be here, of course – just not us.
According to current models, the Sun is expected to increase in luminosity by 10% in the next 500 million years before fading out and dying. This will cause several changes to the climate that will make the continued existence of life on Earth impossible, starting with photosynthetic organisms and eventually killing off all life. During the period of the next 500 million years, there is a small chance that a passing star will throw Earth out of orbit, causing catastrophic events from burning, freezing or collision.[361]
The Andromeda Galaxy (currently 2.5 million light years away) has about a 50% chance (by 2025 estimates) of colliding and merging with our galaxy, the Milky Way. This is unlikely to have much of an effect on whatever life is around, as galaxies are mostly empty space, although for any given planet, there is a tiny chance that its orbit could be disrupted due to gravitational tugs from passing stars. The other 50% chance is that two other galaxies in our Local Group, the Large Magellanic Cloud and Messier 33 will prevent the merger.[362]
5 billion years from now: According to accepted models of stellar evolution, the Sun will run out of hydrogen in its core to fuse into helium and will transition to a red giant as a result, expanding massively.[363] The Sun will swallow Mercury and Venus, and may get large enough to swallow Earth as well. Even if it doesn't, Earth will be roasted to a cinder crisp.[citation needed] One school of thought predicts that the drag from the Sun's outer gas envelope will cause the Earth to spiral into the Sun, but as with all things scientific, there is another school of thought that says this won't happen.[364] If it isn't swallowed, Earth will either get flung out into interstellar space due to tidal interactions with the Sun and the Sun's gradual loss of mass once it enters the red giant stage or will keep orbiting the dead Sun, perhaps reduced just to its core, for a long time to come. Never again will Earth see another day.
20 billion years from now: If the current rate of expansion of the universe grows, in 20 (or 22) billion years, the universe could be expanding so rapidly that atoms will no longer be able to hold on to their electrons. This predicted event is known as the "Big Rip." Blame dark energy.[365]
3×1043 years from now: estimated maximum time for all nucleons in the observable universe to decay, if protons are unstable. Whether they are is currently an unresolved question in physics. Exasecond and longer and Future of an expanding universe have a pile of similarly apocalyptic events that actually have some scientific basis. This is the Total Existence Failure of the entire universe; anything complex enough to be considered life that would care about it would likely have evaporated to nothing long before this. Out of all the above, this is the most likely.
The heat death of the universe ("Big Freeze") is a scientific prediction that eventually the universe will expand so much it will no longer contain any thermodynamic free energy with which to do work. At this point the universe will be cold, dark, and essentially empty forever. That is, unless quantum fluctuations or some other phenomena eventually cause something to occur, like a new Big Bang. Forever is a long time, and this kind of physics is poorly understood at present.
It is widely believed that there were prophecies in the 10th century CE that the world would end in 999 CE or 1000 CE. However, this seems to have been first mentioned by Johannes Trithemius around 1500 and popularised in the 17th and 18th centuries by Cardinal Baronius,William Robertson,Charles Mackay,Jules Michelet, and others; sources from the 10th and 11th century show little evidence of a panic.[366] Still, it's no more inaccurate than any other prediction on the list.
↑ He did address the possibility of being wrong, stating, "Note: Many Bible scholars contend a generation is 40 years; others say 70 years. As to the Second Coming, the Bible says 'But of that day and hour knoweth no man....but my father only.'" Matthew 24:36"
