Forget 2000, 2012 and the Blood Moon Prophecy. The eBible Fellowship, based in Sharon Hill, Pa., has predicted that the end of the world will come on Oct. 7 - today.
The group states, citing passages from the bible, that the world will come to end at some point today, and that it will end not by water but "by fire."
"According to what the Bible is presenting, it does appear that October 7 will be the day that God has spoken of," fellowship leader and founder Chris McCann, a Darby Borough resident, recently told The Guardian. "God destroyed the first Earth with water, by a flood, in the days of Noah. And he says he'll not do that again, not by water. But he does say in 2nd Peter 3 that he'll destroy it by fire."
"It'll be gone forever. Annihilated," McCann warned.
McCann says he studied the Bible and came to the conclusion that the world would end on Oct. 7 after analyzing a previous claim from Harold Camping, a Christian radio host who predicted an Armageddon date of May 21, 2011 and then again on Oct. 21.
McCann and his followers say they believe May 21, 2011 only alludes to the day when God stopped accepting applications into heaven from church's followers. Instead, they say God began a 1,600-day process afterward to save non-believers and the end of that process will come Oct. 7, 2015.
He does admit, however, that there is a margin of error and the apocalypse might not happen at all.
"There's a strong likelihood that this will happen," McCann said, according to USA Today. "Which means there's an unlikely possibility that it will not."
