A researcher has provided Bible verses to ‘prove’ his theory – so you had better finish watching Game of Thrones fast. A new claim has predicted September 23 as the date an astronomical event leading to Earth’s destruction will take place. Speaking to The Washington Post, researcher David Meade claimed he based his prediction on verses and numerical codes in the Bible that were focused on the number 33. “Jesus lived for 33 years. The name Elohim, which is the name of God to the Jews, was mentioned 33 times [in the Bible],” Meade told the publication. “It’s a very biblically significant, numerologically significant, number. I’m talking astronomy. I’m talking the Bible … and merging the two.” It will have been 33 days since the last total solar eclipse, and Meade believes that is an omen.

The goodwill built by generations that were known for hard work, humility and earned trust Igbo enjoy in their country is being eroded by IPOB, in their pride before fall. Army have to be careful with Kanu seeking martyrdom. OBJ met Dokubo Asari, which elevated him to a tin god. After ridiculing Buhari in sickness, wishing him the worst when he was down, OBJ asked Buhari to meet Kanu. Who does he represent and what bad blood would he discuss, emissaries nko? As a result, AREWA Youths came out giving son of the soil Quit Notice in their own Country. It is so provocative that it has led to vagabonds taking the law into their own hands. In normal times, this could be glossed over but in the context of what led to Nigerian civil war, the Police should have “invited” over the leaders of the gangs.
