YOU might think Jesus would be flattered by the fact billions of people are about to celebrate his birthday.
But you’d be wrong, because he’s actually preparing to wipe out life on Earth and leave the planet totally sterile for 1,000 years.
That’s the grim “prophecy” from a Christian computer programmer called Nora Roth, who has performed complex calculations which indicate the apocalypse will take place by the end of 2016.
Our world will then be wiped clean of life and left to “rest” for a millennium, which means it’s probably pointless trying to make any New Year’s Resolutions.
On her website, MarkBeast, Nora wrote: “In the fall [autumn] of 2016, the 6,000 years of sin on earth will come to an end, everlasting righteousness will be brought in, and Jesus will come again to take His people to heaven.”
“Then the earth will begin its 1,000 years of rest.”
When she's not worrying about the end of the world, Nora enjoys "birding, hiking, camping, travelling, photography and working puzzles", according to her website.
She also provided the following brief statement about her extra-apocalyptic hobbies: "I love cats."
But there's nothing cute and furry about the grim fate that's awaiting humanity.
"God gives each of us a period of time on earth as probation," she added.
"This probationary period is our opportunity to repent and to have faith in Christ. My probation and your probation will end sometime between now and the fall of 2016 and it may well be sooner rather than later.
"The most important thing we can do right now is to give ourselves completely to God in humility and repentance and by faith to receive Jesus as our personal Savior."
Nora's prediction is based on a warning from "God", a character who plays a starring role in The Bible.
In the Book of Daniel, which tells the story of the Jewish people's forced relocation to Babylon, God said: "Seventy 'sevens' are decreed,
"For your people and your holy city,
"To finish transgression,
"To put an end to sin,
"To atone for wickedness,
"To bring in everlasting righteousness,
"To seal up vision and prophecy
"And to anoint the most holy.”
Nora suggested the word "sevens" refers to a Jubilee cycle, which is a unit of time.
Anyone who has read The Bible will know that God's working week mirrored Craig David's, in that he spent six days building the Earth before chilling on Sunday.
God also applied the same pattern on a larger scale and "told the children of Israel to plant and to harvest their land for six years and then let the land rest the seventh year", Nora added.
So a Jubilee Cycle is seven of these larger units followed by one year of rest, bringing the total to 50 years.
Nora added: "The 70 sevens prophecy in Daniel 9:24 has two fulfillments: first, the 70 sevens are 70 sabbatical cycles – 490 years, pointing to the first coming of Jesus as our Savior from sin.
"Second, the 70 sevens are 70 Jubilee cycles - 3,431 years - pointing to the second coming of Jesus when
His people will be permanently freed from sin.
"In the fall of 2016 the 6,000 years of sin on earth will come to an end, everlasting righteousness will be brought in, and Jesus will come again."
In case you're wondering, some credulous Christians believe the 6,000 years of sin began when Adam and Eve swallowed the fruit from the tree of knowledge and suddenly felt it necessary to cover their naughty bits with fig leaves.
Nora said they were both 39 years old when they chose to do this, meaning the world was created 6,039 years ago.
Scientists have suggested the wheel was invented 7,000 years ago, believe the first human appeared in Africa some 200,000 years ago and have calculated that the world is about 4.5 billion years old.
That's about 90 million Jubilee cycles, in case you're wondering.
