You’d be surprised at how many people throughout history
have predicted that the world would end. What’s more, people
constantly buy into it. It seems that were so preoccupied with
when the world will end that we completely forget to enjoy
living in general.
The predictions themselves tend to vary from religious
Armageddon to a huge unavoidable catastrophe, ending all life
as we know it. While some are interesting enough to keep us
entertained, others are just ridiculous to the point of
us questioning what kind of desperation someone has to feel to
buy into it.
Fear is a key factor in many of these cases, and fear leads
people to do terrible things to both themselves and others
around them. Cults have always had close ties to certain
doomsday prophecies with some madman barking out
nonsense, all the while being in a position of power among
those being exploited and manipulated.
These are 10 of the biggest apocalypse scares in history.

10. Heaven’s Gate – 1997
The Heaven’s Gate Cult was formed in the 1970s and was led
by founder Marshall Applewhite. In late March of 1997
Applewhite taped himself speaking of a large scale mass
suicide. The group believed that an alien spacecraft was
trailing behind Comet Hale-Bopp and that once they were dead,
the UFO would take their souls to a “level of existence above
human”. The group carried out the plan in a rented mansion
where over the course of three days Applewhite as well as 38
of his followers took their own lives.

this Apple white and him guys DULLLLLL

9. The Prophet Hen of Leeds – 1806
While most “end of the world” prophecies come from
individual “prophets” or certain religious groups, this
particular doomsday scare was the result of some strange eggs.
Sometime in 1806, villagers in the city of Leeds found a hen
laying eggs with the words “Christ is coming” written across
them. This caused considerable panic throughout the area, and
attracted visitors from all over, all in hopes of seeing the
prophet hen. But obviously the world didn’t end in 1806. A
woman named Mary Bateman was later found to have
conducted the hoax by using a sort of corrosive ink to write on
the eggs and then re-inserted them into the hen. Bateman, who
was also known as the “Yorkshire Witch”, was hung three
years later, after being charged with murder.

8. Aum Shinrikyo World War III – 1995
The Aum Shinrikyo cult was founded by Shoko Asahara in
1984. In 1992 Asahara declared himself to be “Christ” and
claimed he could take on the sins of the world. Asahara
believed that the world would end in 1997 as a result of a Third
World War instigated by the United States. All humanity would
succumb to nuclear Armageddon, save for those who joined
Aum. On March 20 , 1995 the doomsday cult released large
amounts of sarin gas into the Tokyo subway, killing 13 people
while injuring 50 others and causing temporary vision
problems for close to 1,000 others. As police had been
cracking down on the cult for suspected illegal activities, it is
presumed that Asahara had ordered the attack in the hopes of
diverting attention away from the cult and its followers. Two
years later the world still stood as Asahara’s nuclear
Armageddon never came to fruition and the Aum Shinrikyo
group – without their leader – reformed under the name Aleph
in 2000.

7. Large Hadron Collider Scare –
2009-2012
The Large Hadron Collider is basically a particle collider that
has the ability to send hydrogen particles crashing into one
another. It was created in the hopes of discovering new
elements as well as shedding light on the creation of the
universe. While this all sounds well and good the Large
Hardron Collider also has the potential to create black holes
large enough to engulf the planet. The fear of the possibility of
the creation of black holes first came to light in 2008 when a
lawsuit was filed in a US court to stop operations of the Large
Hadron Collider. The lawsuit never succeeded and though the
possibility of black holes forming was acknowledged, it was
said that they’d only last a few seconds before disappearing.
The experiment went on from 2009 to 2012 without swallowing
the world whole.

6. Harold Camping’s Rapture – May 21 ,
2011
You know the saying “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me
twice, shame on me”? Well that pretty much describes Harold
Camping’s 2011 end times prediction. The Christian radio
broadcaster had previously predicted the end of days being
September 6 , 1994. Camping’s 2011 prediction was met with
much ridicule from atheist organizations, and denial from other
Christian organizations. Camping predicted that the rapture
would hit the world at 6 pm, but when everything picked up as
usual on May 22 Camping changed his prediction to October
21 of that same year – calling May 21 a “spiritual” day of
judgement – before backing out of his October 21
predictions a few days before.

5. The Great Disappointment – October
22 , 1844
William Miller was a Baptist preacher and founder of the
Millerites, a religious group that followed Miller’s teachings
and belief that the second coming of Jesus Christ would occur
in the year 1844. The group was founded sometime in 1833
when Miller first shared his belief in the second coming of
Christ. What is sometimes referred to as the “Great
Disappointment”, October 22 passed normally, much to the
dismay of many Millerites, who had given up most of their
material possessions in anticipation of the event. Many
Millerites had to deal with violence towards both themselves
and their places of worship after the failed prediction had
passed. Miller himself awaited Christ’s return until his death in
1849.

4. Nostradamus’ Armageddon – August
1999
Nostradamus was a French apothecary and author famous for
his many prophecies which earned him widespread
recognition. Though famous for them, not all of Nostradamus’
prophecies came true. Take for example his prediction for
1999. Nostradamus predicted that in the seventh month of the
year 1999, a great king of terror would fall from the sky. Many
of those who followed Nostradamus’ predictions believed it
was his depiction of what would be Armageddon. But like
many other end of the world prophecies, Nostradamus’ never
came true.

3. Y2K – January 1 , 2000
It’d be almost impossible to imagine a fully functioning
modern society without any computers. The thought leading up
to January 1 , 2001 was that computers would wipe out all of
modern society. The eventual doomsday theory stemmed from
the problem of computers not being able to differentiate
between the 1900 and 2000 dates. Somewhere along the line
people got all worked up about nuclear disasters and world
wide blackouts (though the former sounds much worse than the
latter). This then prompted people to begin preparations for
survival after the end of the world; we’re talking bunkers,
guns, stocking up on non-perishables, the works. However, the
world didn’t end in the year 2000. There were some computers
glitches, but other than that it was just another failed
doomsday scare.

2. Halley’s Comet – April 10 , 1910
Halley’s Comet is visible to us earthlings once every 75 or so
years. The comet itself is quite a spectacle but in 1910 there
were those who feared that it would destroy humanity. The
comet’s tail is made up of something called cyanogen, a toxic
gas. This led to widespread fear that the toxin would enter the
earth’s atmosphere killing all life on the planet. What followed
was a wide increase in sales of gas masks, “anti-comet pills”
and “anti-comet umbrellas”. Most astronomers did point out
that the gas would have no harmful effects on the inhabitants
of earth once the comet passed and they turned out to be right.
Or maybe it was all those “anti-comet pills”.

1. Mayan Apocalypse – December 21 ,
2012
This one got a lot of spotlight a couple years back, with a
feature length movie and countless books all trying to get a
little slice of the newest “end of the world” phenomenon. This
all came from how some people interpreted the Mayan
Calendar which is divided into cycles lasting around 5,125
years. Since one of the cycles ended on December 21 , 2012
people started pumping out the doomsday theories. Some
thought that the earth’s magnetic poles would reverse,
reversing the planet’s rotation as well. Others thought that a
planet called Nibiru, Planet X or Eris, or a huge meteor would
hit the earth killing us all. December 21 came and went, and
the only really terrible thing about it was the aforementioned
movie.

@ no 9 the woman hash oo, no 2 is very funny specially the umbrella tin and number one is kinda scary when I watch the movie

Joblessness.. even after studying the Bible, some People are still ignorant of the fact that " No one knows the hour nor the Day"............
