The End of the World

Just for the sake of those unaware, the world ended last week.

There was a huge earthquake that threw open all the graves on Earth, and those dead in Christ rose again.

All of the true Christians on earth were raptured up to heaven.

And then the final five months of the world began, with all of those left behind damned for eternity to hell.

But, this is not the first time this has happened.

The world ended in about 2000 B.C. when the Zoroastrians predicted that the world would come to an end.

The world ended in 70 A.D. when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem.

The world ended in 1033 when a few predicted that the second coming would occur a thousand years after Christ's death.

The world ended in 1666 when fires ravaged England.

The world ended in 1776 when doomsayers predicted the American Revolution would incite the end of the world.

The world ended in 1844 when William Miller predicted the Second Coming and sold ascension robes to his followers.

The world ended in 1890 when Joseph Smith turned 85 (well after he was murdered in 1844).

The world ended in 1914 when Jehovah's Witnesses announced that Jesus had finally started reigning in heaven.

The world ended in 1938 when Martians landed in New Jersey.

The world ended in 1970 when Hal Lindsey predicted it would.

The world ended in 1988 when Edgar Whisenant predicted it would.

The world ended in 1993 when David Koresh predicted it would.

The world ended in 1994 when Harold Camping predicted it would.

The world ended in 1997 when Marshall Applewhite predicted it would.

The world ended in 2000 when just about everybody predicted it would.

And the world will end in 2012 when the Mayan Calendar comes to a big round number and nobody seems to know how to interpret that except that it's the end of the world.

It's always the End Of The World As We Know It, because the world is always changing.
