For many centuries, people have been predicting the year, the month and sometimes the day when:
A violent and sudden end would terminate all life on earth;
Major social and political upheavals would occur around the world;
The war of Armageddon would take place in the Middle East;
God would pour horrendous wrath on most of humanity; and/or
Christ would return in what is referred to as the * second coming*. The prophesiers have almost always predicted that these horrendous events would happen in their own immediate future.
All of these predictions share one factor: **none have ever come true**.
