Over the past two centuries, there have been ten claims of when the world is coming to an end. All of these claims have obviously been false considering we are still here today. Alot of these claims have to do with religion and signs that people discover from research and religious stories. The ten claims were: The prophet Hen of Leeds in 1806 of the return of Jesus Christ,The millerites in 1843 when God was supposed to destroy the world, Mormon Armageddon in 1891 was another expected visit from Jesus, Halley's Comet in 1910, Pat Robertson in 1982, Heavens Gate in 1997, Nostradamus in 1999, Y2K in 2000, another expectance in 2000 on May 5 and God's Church ministry in 2008. All these claims were very threatening to the community and brought large amounts of fear to the people along with confusion. The one that induced a few suicides was the Heaven's Gate claim where 39 cult members decided to commit suicide because of the threat of the world coming to an end. I think that when people make claims such as these in the past, It does make me wonder but then again only God knows what's to come and I strongly believe that we will never know the day in which the world will come to an end. To be honest I don't even know if I would want to know when the world is coming to an end that way I would be able to continue my everyday life without having to worry about this day to come.
