Early 21st Century

Legend has it that, in 1143, St. Malachy prophesied that there would
only be 112 more popes left before the end of the world.
Pope Benedict is the 111th, which means that the
world will end in the early 21st century. According to
Malachy, the last pope will be named Peter of Rome.
Time will tell. (Skinner p.74-75)

An atomic holocaust started by Syria is
to take place between the years 2000 and 2006,
according to Michael Drosnin's book The Bible
Codes (O'Shea p.178). Here's an excerpt from
Drosnin's discredited book: "I checked
'World War' and 'atomic holocaust' against all
three ways to write each Hebrew year for the next
120 years. Out of 360 possible matches for each of
the two expressions, only two years matched both -
5760 and 5766, in the modern calendar the years
2000 and 2006. Rips later checked the statistics
for the matches of 'World War' and 'atomic
holocaust' with those two years and agreed that the
results were 'exceptional.'"

Thomas Chase uses an incredible mishmash
of Bible prophecy, numerology, Y2K, Bible codes,

Terence McKenna combines Mayan
chronology with a New Age pseudoscience called Novelty
Theory to conclude that the collision an asteroid or
some "trans-dimensional object" with the Earth, or
alien contact, or a solar explosion, or the
transformation of the Milky Way into a quasar, or some
other "ultranovel" event will occur on this day.
Anyway, something is supposed to happen, and he
has lots of pseudoscientific gobbledygook to back up
his thesis.
