Remember how the mysterious death planet Nibiru was going to smash into our planet last September, killing us all?

Remember how it didn’t show up?

Well, the Christian conspiracy theory guy behind that prophecy has popped up again, and now promises that death planet Nibiru, is absolutely, definitely on its way this spring.

First off, there’ll be some kind of nuclear conflagration with North Korea, then Jesus will probably show up, then the mythical (fictional) death planet will rise in the skies and it’ll be curtains for us all.

David Meade says, ‘The more I study every month, I would say I expect an awful lot to happen to commence in the spring of 2018.

Meade is (this time) saying that it’ll coincide with 70 years of the state of Israel, which lots of conspiracy theorists are convinced means the world is about to end.

Meade says, ‘Anything from this Spring forward, anything will go.

‘Here’s what I believe is going to start in the Spring of 2018: I believe North Korea will ascend to become a world class super power in March of 2018.

‘I believe the great tribulation will begin after a short period of peace.

‘Planet X won’t appear until after the tribulation period commences, and I don’t think you can pin point a month, week and day but I do believe 2018 is high watch and I would be very surprised if a year from now, that we will be talking about anything except Nibiru.’

Meade says, ‘There’s loads of religious conspiracy sites who believe that the end of the world (and the return of Jesus) is going to start in March 2018 to tie in with the 70th anniversary of the state of Israel.

The ‘Rapture’ – the bit where God comes down and saves all the Christians and bins the rest of us – is going to kick off at that point, various sites have claimed.

Much of this is based on the the ‘Jubilee’ prophecies of Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel, a 12th century mystic who wrote prophecies about the ‘Messianic end times’.

The world will end in 2018, supposedly, because the Rabbi predicted that the Turks would rule Jerusalem for eight ‘jubilees’ (which was accurate).

But he also predicted that the ‘Messianic end times’ would begin one jubilee (50 years) after Jerusalem returned to Jewish rule.

We should also point out that Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel’s prophecies have been used to predict the end of the world in several previous years, and it never happened.

So is Nibiru real? Should we be worried?

Of course, the whole thing is absolutely ridiculous, and one can only hope that David Meade (the guy behind the idea it’s about to hit our planet) has got his excuses ready (again) later this year.

Nibiru (or Planet X) was widely predicted to hit our planet in December 2016, and before that in April 2016, and December 2015.

Are you seeing a pattern here?

Prior to that, it was predicted to smash into our planet to coincide with the Mayan apocalypse in 2012 – and before that, Nancy Lieder, an American website writer who claimed to have an alien implant in her brain, predicted it would destroy the world in 2003.

Nibiru does not exist. It has never been seen on any telescope, and no credible scientist has ever confirmed its existence.

NASA has thoroughly debunked the Nibiru myth via its Beyond 2012 page, saying, ‘Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims.

‘If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye.’
