Melchizedek Prophecy - Iceland Volcano threatens world tourism and environment if it erupts

.


In yet another example of the warning of a year of devastating storms and weather anomalies in order for Mother Earth to correct the damage we have done to it with over 2,000 nuclear bomb explosions since 1950, one of the world record disaster potentials is volcanic eruptions.  This is another element of the one year of record shattering weather anomalies followed by seven years of more random destruction as prophesied by Melchizedek.


Iceland's Enormous Bardarbunga Volcano 'Ready to Erupt' as Four Earthquakes Strike in Just Two Hours
Newsweek 
Melissa Matthews,Newsweek 8 hours ago 

Iceland’s largest volcano, Bardarbunga, could erupt at any moment, bringing a cloud of ash that could hinder worldwide tourism, and cause air quality issues, reports Yahoo UK. Some worry it would be reminiscent of the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajoekull, which disturbed travel at the time.
The country’s largest volcano, which stands at 6,591 feet above sea level, has been hit with earthquakes this week. These vibrations could have huge implications, according to volcanic expert, Páll Einarsson at the University of Iceland. He spoke to the Daily Star in the UK and explained that an eruption is brewing.

“The volcano is clearly preparing for its next eruption, that may happen in the next few years,” he told the outlet. The earthquake won't cause an eruption; rather, they hint that one could be coming. “The earthquakes last week are just the symptoms of this process, they do not cause the volcano to erupt,” he told the Daily Star.
Bardarbunga last erupted in 2014, and NASA documents show that seismic activity increased for seven years before the event. It dipped briefly in 2011 after another volcano located nearby, Grímsvötn, erupted, but once again became more active in August 2014. Later that month, the volcano finally erupted, spewing lava for days.
What concerns most experts is that the next eruption could be a repeat of the chaos in 2010 following the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull. According to The Telegraph, 100,000 flights were cancelled from the incident, leaving 10 million people stranded. Airlines lost $1.7 billion dollars in revenue. LiveScience reports that the eruption, which stopped flights for almost a month, was so drastic because the ash spread further than normal and was present in the atmosphere for a greater length of time.  
Scientists later discovered that the prolonged drama was in part due to an adverse reaction between the magma and the surrounding glacial water. The ash was more porous and not as aerodynamic, which made them stay afloat longer.
There’s no evidence that if the eruption of Bardarbunga would cause the same kind of havoc. Einarsson told the Daily Star that it’s simply not possible to determine what the next eruption will be like, but thinks it will be harmless according to the statistics.

Still, Einarsson said the country needs to prepare for the worst.
Though he emphasizes they are not common, he also says “we have to be prepared for larger and more disastrous eruptions.”

Melchizedek Prophecy - Weather Anomalies - Spreading Worldwide

.

Months ago Melchizedek warned that the Earth faced a continuous stream of astonishing weather anomalies beginning in August that would last for a year.  Storms more powerful and intense than anything we have every faced would come from the oceans (hurricanes), from fires, from earthquakes, and other forms of natural disasters.


Each storm would be an anomaly whether it was a 1,000 year flood, the strongest storm in a century, the worst, the deadliest, the most destructive, well you get the picture.  So far we have not been disappointed as the temperatures continue to set records and the weather conditions continue to set records throughout the globe.


So here we are, the beginning of the third week of October, and we have already seen record hurricanes, floods, fires, and temperatures.  Almost every continent has been touched by the bizarre weather.


In his warning Melchizedek said people would ignore the evidence at first, blaming the series of freak storms as Mother Nature run amok in some kind of cyclical cycle.  He said as the storms continued to rage and the records continued to fall, about Christmas time people would finally start to question how this could be natural weather and before the end of the year next August there would be no doubt in anyone's mind that some mysterious force was driving the weather anomalies.


Melchizedek explained the stunning storms are the result of the need for Mother Earth to cleanse and purify the nuclear radiation poisoning the Earth from nearly seventy years of testing by various nations.  More than 2000 nuclear or hydrogen bombs have exploded on Earth, over 1,500 under ground.  As the core of the Earth sucks the radiation through the layers of Earth into the core of gravity on the planet, it increases the temperature in the already super-heated core.


The core has been damaged by the massive increase in temperature from the radiation but Mother Earth, as one of the crown jewels of Creation, also has the ability to absorb the unnatural radiation, cleanse the problem, and heal the planet.  Healing also means correcting the orbit of the Earth as fighting off the poison caused it to slip out of the natural orbit and it must be brought back into synchronization with the rest of the galaxy.

California Wildfires


Today, we still have fourteen California wildfires, the worst in history, at least 50% out of control.  It is hard to believe but the fires only started eight days ago.


In that week 40,000 people were evacuated, forty-one people have been killed, eighty-eight people are still missing, 700 people in one town, Santa Rosa, remain in shelters, 5,700 homes and businesses have been destroyed, and 213,000 acres have been destroyed in the fires.  over 10,000 fire fighters from all over the nation and world joined the fight.


Atlantic Hurricanes

After nine straight hurricanes crossing the ocean to the Americas, with the most and strongest to ever reach the USA in one season, Harvey brought record floods as it defied physics and turned two complete circles along the Houston coast of Texas. 


At one point Harvey, Maria, and Jose were all in play at once.  Jose sat and spun circles off New England while Maria ripped apart the Caribbean, left Puerto Rico flattened, and zig zagged up the Florida peninsula missing major metropolitan areas but still leaving millions without power and water.  It has been over three weeks and Puerto Rico remains a shattered nation.

Worldwide Wildfires


At the same time Portugal and Spain battle monster fires that have already killed thirty, while other outbreaks already devastated large sections of Russia, France, India, Australia, and South Africa to mention a few locations.


In Portugal thirty fires burn, while there have been 524 fires this year.  Over 5,800 firefighters battle the blazes.  Earlier this year fires charred 530,000 people and killed sixty-four people in one fire in Portugal.


Ireland and Hurricane Ophelia

As if that is not a testament to the validity of the Melchizedek prophecy,  the latest hurricane, Ophelia, started across the Atlantic then veered straight north toward the cold waters of the North Atlantic and is now pounding Ireland, then Scotland.  It was the first category 3 hurricane to ever make it to the enchanted land of the wizards and fairies and the most powerful storm since 1939 to travel so far east and north in the Atlantic.


If the predictions continue to come true we are in for more powerful hurricanes, floods, and even earthquakes as Mother Earth continues to fight off the poison of the nuclear weapons.  North Korea is only exasperating the problem with their current tests including the hydrogen bomb but as they continue to push the world toward World War III, Melchizedek says that will not happen.


Do not be surprised if a nuclear or even hydrogen bomb is not launched toward America, and falls short when it explodes over the Pacific Ocean.  The radiation will poison the ocean to a degree never experienced before but the consequence will be devastation to the North Korean government from major earthquakes along the Chinese border, with major destruction to the country, as well as the end of the reign of Kim Jong-un (김정은).  He is the supreme leader of Democratic People's Republic of Korea.


Summary

Earth may be beyond the protection of the humans who inhabit it, but the Creator and his forces will not let us destroy it.  Stay tuned for updates on many more chapters of the Melchizedek prophecy.  Remember to seek out the good in adversary, and never doubt that the Creator will protect those who follow the will of the Creator through his son Jesus and the many other emissaries on earth.

Yellowstone - Mother Nature's Dooms Day Weapon

.



Yellowstone’s supervolcano could erupt much faster than anyone thought
 Mike Wehner,BGR News Wed, Oct 11 3:32 PM EDT


There’s a dangerous giant sitting dormant in the United States, and when it finally wakes up it has the potential to cause utter devastation. I’m talking of course about the supervolcano hiding beneath Yellowstone National Park, and while it’s long been thought that any hint of a possible eruption would be seen thousands and thousands of years in advance, new research throws that safety buffer right out the window, suggesting that the Yellowstone Supervolcano could go from calm to critical in as little as decades.

The research, which was presented at the IAVCEI 2017 volcanology conference in Portland, focuses on the most recent eruption of the volcano, which is thought to have occurred some 631,000 years ago. But rather than taking several thousands of years to build up, as previously thought, the newest data suggests that the most recent eruption was prompted by new magma pushing into the Yellowstone system just decades ahead of the big event.
This much more rapid timeframe between dormancy and eruption is obviously very troubling, especially when you consider the global impact that the event could have. The most recent eruption of the Yellowstone system spewed an estimated 240 cubic miles of material into the air. 2.1 million years ago an even larger eruption occurred, sending 585 cubic miles of rock and dust skyward. For comparison, that’s approximately 6,000 times the amount of material launched from Mount St. Helens during its 1980 eruption.
“It’s shocking how little time is required to take a volcanic system from being quiet and sitting there to the edge of an eruption,” Hannah Shamloo, graduate student at Arizona State University and lead author of the study, said of the discovery.

Still, at the moment there’s little reason to be concerned, as the Yellowstone Supervolcano seems to be perfectly content to continue its unusually long quiet spell. When the mighty beast decides to wake back up is anyone’s guess, but now at least we know that we might not have nearly as much warning as we once thought.


Yellowstone Supervolcano Could Erupt Sooner Than We Thought. Here’s What You Need to Know.
 Grace Donnelly 

Did you know there's a supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park? Maybe you've heard that it could erupt with much less advance warning than expected?
Researchers from Arizona State University spent weeks studying fossilized ash deposits from the Yellowstone volcano and recently shared their findings. The minerals in these deposits revealed that the critical changes in temperature and composition preceding an eruption build up over a matter of decades, rather than thousands of years as scientists originally thought.
"It's shocking how little time is required to take a volcanic system from being quiet and sitting there to the edge of an eruption," Hannah Shamloo, a graduate student at Arizona State University who worked on the research, told The New York Times.
This is an alarming thing for a volcanologist to say. The good news is that scientists are likely just decades away from being able to more accurately predict when an eruption would occur.
Sometimes knowing more about the world around us makes us feel more in control of our lives and survival. And sometimes knowing more only underscores how small and helpless we are compared to the forces of nature on the angry rock where we reside.
Here are some more facts about supervolcanoes that may or may not make you feel any better.
Is Yellowstone the only supervolcano to worry about?
No, of course not. There are about 20 others around the world and three others, besides the Yellowstone supervolcano, in the U.S. Scientists suspect that one of them erupts every 100,000 years or so.
While Yellowstone hasn't had a super-eruption in 631,000 years, others have been active more recently. Campi Flegri, a supervolcano in Italy whose name translates to "burning fields," had a super-eruption 15,000 years ago.
Campi Flegri is in a "critical state," according to researchers in Italy. It's due for an eruption soon, but it would be a minor event compared to the 72 cubic miles of molten rock it spewed in its most notorious eruption 39,000 years ago, called Campanian Ignimbrite, that likely contributed to the extinction of the Neanderthals.
What areas would a Yellowstone eruption affect?
If the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, it could shoot out more than 1,000 cubic kilometers of rock and ash into the air.
That's 250 cubic miles. That's more than three times as large as the Campanian Ignimbrite eruption in Italy, which created a sulfurous cloud that floated more than 1,200 miles away to hang over Russia. That's 2,500 times more material than Mount St. Helensexpelled in 1980, killing 57 people.
An eruption at Yellowstone would result in a cloud of ash more than 500 miles wide, stretching across nearly the entire western United States.
The explosion could be so incredibly large that it could plunge the entire planet into a volcanic winter. That means it would be impossible to grow crops and current food stores would only last about 74 days, according to a 2012 estimate by the United Nations(though innovations in farming may mean that food could be grown underground).
Will a supervolcano eruption end life on Earth?
None of this sounds ideal, but how does it rank in terms of apocalyptic near-future possibilities? According to NASA, supervolcano eruptions are a bigger danger to life on Earth than any asteroid.
Luckily NASA has a plan to neutralize supervolcano threats. It would cost approximately $3.4 billion and involves drilling down just over 6 miles into the volcano in order to release heat and hopefully avoid a violent eruption.
This plan could cool the supervolcano over the course of hundreds or even thousands of years. There’s another bonus: It would become a source of geothermal energy, too. But there are considerable risks, too. It could trigger the eruption it's meant to save us from.
How likely is it that the Yellowstone supervolcano will erupt?
Despite the fact that this new research shows conditions leading up to supervolcano eruption could occur in several decades, the chances that you will personally experience an explosion of this scale are still low.
The odds of the Yellowstone supervolcano erupting within a given year are one in 730,000, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Here’s a little perspective: Those odds are significantly better than your chances of winning the lottery and only slightly worse than the chance you'll be struck by lightning.




WHEN WILL YELLOWSTONE ERUPT? SUPERVOLCANO COULD RUMBLE TO LIFE FAR FASTER THAN WE THOUGH
BY HANNAH OSBORNE ON 10/12/17 AT 9:42 AM

Before the Yellowstone supervolcano next erupts, we might have only a few decades to prepare—not thousands of years, as previously thought. By analyzing the last eruption to take place, a team of researchers has estimated how long it took for the required amount of magma to build up in the main chambers. The preliminary findings show it happened startlingly fast.
The last major eruption at Yellowstone—one of the world’s largest active supervolcanoes—took place around 640,000 years ago, sending about 240 cubic miles of volcanic ash, dust and rock into the sky.
If an eruption were to talk place today, experts estimate a blanket of ash would cover most of the U.S. "Ash-fall thicknesses of centimetres throughout the American Midwest would disrupt livestock and crop production, especially during critical times in the growing season,” a 2014 report said. "Thick deposits could threaten building integrity and obstruct sewer and water lines. Electronic communications and air transportation would likely be shut down throughout North America. There would also be major climate effects."

To understand what goes on beneath Yellowstone before an eruption—in a bid to work out what might happen prior to the next one—researchers at Arizona State University analyzed the last big eruption, looking at crystals that show the changes that took place in the run-up to the event.
Hannah Shamloo, a graduate student at the university, and colleagues presented the team’s preliminary findings at a volcanology conference in September. According to The New York Times, she said changes to the crystals indicate there was a fast increase in temperature at the site. The magma appears to have accumulated very quickly, and then an eruption occurred a few decades later. “It’s shocking how little time is required to take a volcanic system from being quiet and sitting there to the edge of an eruption,” Shamloo said.

The findings do not help scientists predict when the next eruption might take place. They could, however, serve as something of an early warning system. By monitoring what’s going on underneath Yellowstone, they can track changes to the magma and be on alert if it starts accumulating.
Mike Poland, the scientist in charge of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory at the U.S. Geological Survey, says the research is interesting, and while the results are preliminary, they potentially open the door to many more questions—including what processes actually trigger rapid magma movement and an eruption.
“I think it's important to note that these results say that the rejuvenation of Yellowstone's magma system may have occurred over decades prior to eruption,” he tells Newsweek. “The research does not provide any information about what actually triggered the eruption.

“One thing I would emphasize is that even if large eruptions are preceded by only decades of unrest, this is still something we are positioned to detect well in advance. Yellowstone is one of the best-monitored volcanoes in the world, with a host of seismic, deformation, thermal and geochemical sensors and satellite datasets always looking for changes,” Poland says.
An example of this was the earthquake swarm that has been taking place at the supervolcano since June. Since it began, almost 2,500 earthquakes have been recorded at the site—making it the longest and most vigorous swarm since 1985.
“We see interesting things all the time, but we haven't seen anything that would lead us to believe that the sort of magmatic ‘rejuvenation’ event described by the ASU researchers is happening now,” Poland says. “We're in a good position to see that sort of event thanks to the monitoring systems that are in place—seismicity (not just the numbers of earthquakes, but also their types) would change drastically, as would styles of deformation, and there would probably be significant thermal manifestations. 
“The research does a great job of helping us understand the conditions that set up the last large eruption at Yellowstone. Hopefully, the researchers will continue their investigations to see what more the crystals they are studying can tell us, particularly about the specific conditions that led to the eruption.”

Yellowstone supervolcano may be only decades from a catastrophic eruption
 Aris Folley, AOL.com,AOL.com 


Researchers are saying the supervolcano sitting beneath Yellowstone National Park could erupt sooner than thought -- and could possibly plunge the planet into a "volcanic winter."
It's been roughly 631,000 years since Yellowstone's last super-eruption and, until now, scientists thought it would take centuries for the supervolcano to make the transition, according to National Geographic.
Now, after analyzing minerals in fossilized ash from Yellowstone, researchers from Arizona State University are saying the lava-filled mountain could erupt in just a few decades.
The discovery arrives several years after a 2011 study found that the ground above Yellowstone's caldera had risen as much as 10 inches in some places over the course of seven years.
"It's an extraordinary uplift, because it covers such a large area and the rates are so high," the Bob Smith, an expert in Yellowstone volcanism at the University of Utah, told National Geographic at the time.
Researchers are also saying the supervolcano has the ability to produce an eruption of a thousand times more powerful than Mount St. Helen's eruption in 1980 and eject more than 1,000 cubic kilometers of rock and ash -- which could blanket large areas of the US.
Arizona State graduate state Hannah Shamloo, who developed the theory that there was a much shorter timeline than once anticipated for an eruption, spent weeks with several colleagues at the site in Yellowstone where they collected and studied fossilized ash from its last eruption.
"It’s shocking how little time is required to take a volcanic system from being quiet and sitting there to the edge of an eruption," Shamloo told New York Times, while adding that more research is necessary before drawing definite conclusions.
Though the pair presented the study at a recent volcanology conference before the American Geophysical Union in 2016, it has yet to be peer-reviewed.

Melchizedek Prophecy related - The Earth will not end September 23, 2017 - Stay tuned for updates starting September 24

.

All my life I have followed the latest End Times proclamations from all kinds of groups, religions, prophets, and quacks.  However, the law of averages says at some point one of them might be right.  So I intend to keep you informed of high profile prophecies and you can be the judge of whether to accept them or not.


Here is a detailed explanation of the Christian prophecy currently finding favor in the back channels of the Internet.  I might add that Melchizedek does not agree and has provided considerable information on what will happen after September 23.





7 Theories About The World Ending On September 23, 2017 According To Astrology, Planet X Predictions, And The Bible
Aria Gmitter, YourTango 


When it comes to an important event in your life, if you're like most people, you want to plan it out so you can be there.
If you're getting married, you surely take the time to organize your wedding and honeymoon. Graduating from college? That's going to be marked and circled in your planner, too. So, it's fairly reasonable to say if you're going to die, you might want to pay attention. If you can know the exact date that your death is coming or the world was going to end — although it's admittedly not a fun topic to discuss — there could be a part of you that is slightly interested in knowing when that would be, you know...so you can plan ahead and make the most of the time you still have in the here and now.
In a sense, the fear of dying is what drives increased popularity for today's end time theorists. 
People are paying more attention to apocalyptic messages. Like the recent earthquake in Japan and another massive one in Mexico as well as the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico — and people are wondering what's going on.
Is God really that angry?
Apocalyptic messengers point to the End of Times, but some sadly some of these end time prophets who claim to be preaching from scripture place emphasis on being right, more than encouraging hearers to be righteous.
It's enough to make anyone suspicious and wonder why now, and on what basis, are they making these crazy allegations that September 23, 2017 is the beginning of the end of the world.

And before we get started, it's important to note how many times have these End of the World / Armageddon / End Times preachers have been wrong? (Hint: Lots.)
But still, it's curious that the pot was stirred most recently by author, James F. Fitzgerald, who thought his end time prophecy book might not be a high interest topic.
 
To test the waters of potential financial gain just prior to publishing his popular book, The 9/11 Prophecy—Startling Evidence the Endtimes Have Begun, (which ranks #602 for Biblical Prophecy on Amazon) he requested a poll from Barna Group.
The results surprised him (and everyone else).

Forty-five percent of devout Catholics, 54 percent of Protestants, 71 percent of evangelicals and 2 out of 5 non-denominational Christians agree with the statement, "the world is currently living in the ‘end times’ as described by prophesies in the Bible.”

found that among religious racial groups, 39 percent of whites, 48 percent of Hispanics, and 54 percent of blacks believed the end of times is near. 
It's normal to feel skeptical about a poll done by an author wanting to sell a book — the topic of end times is a popular one, and lucrative. In fact, the Left Behind Series has sold nearly 80 million books when Pastor Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins warned the world about the need for salvation before the rapture which would result in a 7 year tribulation and subsequent end of the world. Left Behind stories are now in films, video games, graphic novels, and other marketable items.
Here was LaHaye's last interview with NPR before he died in 2016:

However, there's no denying that BOTH astrologers AND Bible thumping end time self-proclaimed prophets are making quite a fuss over the celestial bodies and the earthly natural disasters taking place over the last few months.
In fact, these signs are what gives evidence to apocalyptic claims prophesied in the Bible. 

Astrologers say the current planetary and star alignments, and natural events are astronomical energy shifts. They are signs for a new beginning, and a season of forgiveness. To prepare, humans should let go of the past, clear obstacles, and connect with their spiritual purpose.
The same message is also historically shared by Christians except spiritual cleansing is through "accepting Christ" rather than the stars.
But strangely, that's what end time theorists are doing. 
To help clarify some of the confusion, here are 7 theories and predictions about why the End of Times / End of the World / End of Days is rumored to happen on September 23, 2017:
1. The Bible talks about 7 seals and 7 scrolls in the book of Revelation that once opened by the Lamb of God (Jesus) in heaven, the end of the world is near.

In the Bible there are a series of prophetic books, but the one is solely about the unfolding of end time events: Revelation. 
The book was written by John, one of the 12 disciples of Jesus before his crucifixion. Christians believe that God revealed his plans for Christ's 2nd coming and eventual restoration of the world to righteousness to John. In Revelation, just like the rest of the Bible, particularly those written by what's called minor and major prophetic books, these signs and symbols are found by observing the planets, events, and number patterns. 
As a child, I grew up reading and being taught the hidden secrets of the book of Revelation. These bible studies put the fear of God in me. But there's one message that rises above all messages in that text: Those who read the book of Revelations, according to the scriptures 'will be blessed" but those who alter the texts will be sorry.
From a Christian standpoint, there are many signs that have been fulfilled according to early prophecy found in Matthew, Luke, John, and even the Old Testament. However, what today's doomsday theorists are claiming is one thing that Revelation and Jesus told his disciples, no one, including himself, knew the exact date that the first seal would be broken or when he would return.
2. When the first seal opens the apocalypse begins, which is also around the time of a woman giving birth.

Revelation 12: 1-2 says, "And then a great wonder appeared in heaven: There was a woman who was clothed with the sun, and the moon was under her feet. She had a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out with pain because she was about to give birth."
Coincidentally, this week is the week of Fall Solstice and also the New Moon in Virgo. The Sun is also in Virgo, and the planets, Mars, Mercury, and Venus will be aligned above the astrological zodiac sign and star symbol, Virgo the Virgin. 
3. It's rumored that the woman spoken about in Revelation chapter 12 is appearing now and is a sign of the apocalypse.

Catholics think she is Mary the mother of Jesus. Some Christians think she is the persecuted Church or Babylon. Others say she is Israel, or perhaps the City of Jerusalem. Some Christians think the woman of Revelation 12 is the symbolic representation of the first mother, Eve. 
But apocalyptic end of time preachers claim that September 23rd is the End of Time, and she is the star constellation (aka zodiac sign), Virgo the Virgin, historically and symbolically.
They claim that Virgo and the planet alignment fulfills prophecy found in Revelation, and her labor pains started during the eclipse season. 
Her water breaking was Hurricane Harvey. The near missed massive flooding of Irma was the sparing of the Church, and a miracle —all signs of the End of Time.

The Bible quote that is referenced that this was a sign from God and a warning to awaken people about the End of Time comes from a prophecy found in Exodus 14:21. 
 

According to Biblical scripture found in both the New and Old Testament, patterns of God's work have emerged. Each of these has numeric value to Biblical prophets, scholars, and nearly all Christian people. 
Numerology and Biblical scripture are commonly studied modern by Christians, especially as it relates the the term Messiah. Jesus as "Messiah" was a fulfillment of Old Testament prophesy and the Torah (the first 5 books of the Old Testament). Major and minor prophets before Christ's birth used numbers when predicting the birth and death of Christ.
So, of course it stands to reason that the same prophetic practice of Old Testament prophets would be part of today's modern prophets who are watching for the second coming of the same Christ as Messiah.
5. It's rumored that Planet 9 aka Planet X is a sign of judgment prophesied in Revelation 12.

This planet, also known as Nibru, is much larger than planet Earth.
Some, including David Meade point to other End of Time prophets predictions to support the claim that Nibru / Planet X's presence induces more natural disasters that lead up to Christ's arrival. And, that this is why we are seeing so many earthquakes and hurricanes at this time.
6. End time theorists believe that Planet X could be The Red Dragon that seeks to devour the child that's birthed by the woman in Revelation 12.
These events, including Planet X's involvement with Earth's was predicted in the year 1217 Judah Ben Samuel who inferred that 2017 would be the year of the Messiah, after 10 Israel Jubilees and the temple is brought back to Jerusalem which is also predicted in Daniel and Thessalonians, which would come as a labor pain.

However, NASA recently dismissed the presence of a Planet X / Nibru. There's really little proof that Planet X will strike Earth.
But some end time theorists continue to speculate that the Red Dragon and Planet X are one and the same, thus a fulfillment of prophesy. 
7. Some end time theorists claim that the government is trying to hide the truth about the Red Dragon.

Since Biblical prophecy warns readers that the truth will be suppressed and governments will be manipulated by Satan, some end time theorists are holding fast to  their belief that this hidden planet is placed right between the legs of Virgo the Virgin beside the Planet Jupiter. 
In Revelation, Virgo is closed in the Sun, (the Sun is in the sign of Virgo), wearing a crown of stars, (Mars, Mercury, and Venus), and she will be giving birth, the planet of Jupiter is positioned between her legs, and the Moon is at her feet.
If Planet X does exist, according to end time theorists, September 23rd is a sign of the end time and the year of the Messiah— but since no one really knows for sure, might as well plan ahead anyway.
