5 Doomsday Predictions We Can Look Forward To (And 3 In The Distant Future)

Humanity is obsessed with its own end.

Outlandish guesses, observations from the stars, and interpretations of religious texts all seem to lead to predictions of when exactly the end of the world will befall us.

It's apparent that predicting the end of the world has become big business. Hollywood uses doomsday theories to create impressive blockbuster disaster films and religious leaders use them to attract flocks of faithful to their churches. Science articles also regularly talk about the impact we all have on our planet and when the strangulation point will come, as well as occasionally dropping terrifying news of mega-asteroids heading towards us.

It's enough to ruin your day, quite frankly.

As far back as man has been recording history, threats of “the end is nigh” can be found. Luckily, so far, none of these apocalyptic claims have come to fruition. But as we head into the uncharted future have science or religion uncovered an apocalypic event that will bring the end of days?

And if so, will it strike during our lifetime or generations down the road?

Controversial psychic and astrologer Jeane Dixon rose to notoriety after accurately predicting the assassination of John F. Kennedy. She had a weekly syndicated astrology article and was the author of several books including her own bestselling biography.

Back in 1971, she predicted that Armageddon would befall us in 2020, followed by the return of Jesus Christ to defeat the unholy trinity of the Antichrist, Satan, and the false prophet sometime between the years of 2020 and 2037.

Luckily, it’s best not to get too alarmed by her impending Armageddon prediction as Dixon had already erroneously predicted February 4th, 1962 as the end of the world. So it’s unlikely her second stab at predicting the apocalypse will be any more accurate than her first.
