In 5 days, the end of Earth as we know it will be set in motion, says debunked popular theory

If you’re to believe a video that appeared on YouTube last month, a remarkable and terrifying series of events will be set in motion this Saturday.

The date will be Sept. 23, 2017. On that day, a pregnant woman, “clothed with the sun,” will appear in the sky with the “moon under her feet,” and a “crown of 12 stars on her head.”

Before her will stand a dragon with seven heads, seven crowns and 10 horns, and its tail will sweep one-third of the stars out of the sky, the theory goes.

This dragon will have designs on the child. For the dragon represents Satan, the woman the Virgin Mary, and the child Jesus Christ, who will rule all nations with an “iron scepter.”

This is a series of events described in the Biblical Book of Revelation.

And the theory that it will happen on Saturday has been advanced by David Meade, the author of Planet X – The 2017 Arrival, a book that sets the date for a collision between a force known as “Planet X” and Earth, ushering in cataclysmic changes that will change the world irrevocably.
