Dates of End of Days

* ≤2001: Cataclysmic crust displacement predicted by William Hutton.
* 2002 (December 8th): Survivalist Bruce Beach (of Ark Two fame) predicted it on a *Penn & Teller: Bullshit!* episode that was not aired until 2003.
* 2003: Mary 2003 was supposed to have Earth cataclysmically smash into Nibiru/Planet X, according to ZetaTalk.
* 2005-2026: William Strauss and Neil Howe — a crisis period in the U.S. comparable in effect to the American Revolution, Civil War, and Great Depression/WWII.
* 2007: Hal Lindsey — the Second Second Coming.
* 2007: Pat Robertson — the Great Tribulation.
* 2008 (whenever she dies): Sarah Palin believes she is of the "Final Generation" and will see the End Times during her lifetime.
* 2008 (whenever it shuts down): The Large Hadron Collider will destroy the world with black holes, strangelets, or something similarly scary and science-y. (You can keep up to date with whether this has happened yet here.)
* 2009: David Wilkerson — Earth-shattering calamity engulfing the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America experiencing riots and blazing fires.
* 2011: Harold Camping tries again — ~~Third~~ Second coming/rapture. May 21st, to be precise. He put up billboards! Later postponed to October 21st, but again nothing came of it. Camping might hold on to the money people sent him if he weren't dead now, though he evidently blew a bundle on billboard advertisements. though followers were encouraged to drain their savings for Camping's campaign funds and many are deeply disappointed.
* 2011: Ronald Weinland: Second Coming on the 29th of September. Strike one!
* 2012: **But of course**! Un-naturally failed apocalypse, NASA pushed away space rock expected to hit in series of attempts to bombard asteroids in previous years. (They even did this to the moon!) The following trail fell to/passed Earth in early 2013. ;)
* 2012: Ronald Weinland — Second Coming on the 27th of May. Strike two!
* 2012: Last known end of the world prediction from collision with the Pleiades star cluster
* 2012 (December 21st): Eastern Lightning cult predicted the end of the world.
* 2013: 2012 was just a warm up, the real bad stuff starts 2013 or something and it seems Isaac Newton predicted it.
* 2013: Ronald Weinland — Second Coming on the 9th of May. Strike three, you're out! (see 2019 for strike 4)
* 2014 (February 22nd): Ragnarok — the end of the present world according to Norse mythology.
* 2014 (March 21st): Asteroid?
* 2014: World War III, resurrected Nostradamus prophecy of a fire in the North for the reference of the end of the age of the fifth sun, believed to be a specific Northern region of a country, current speculation is North Korea, as relative to the resolution of a Pope prediction. Oh, and the Rapture. And a giant asteroid hitting the Caribbean.
* between April 2014 and October 2015: A tetrad of lunar eclipses (or blood moons) will signal the start of the end times, according to megachurch pastor John Hagee.
* Unspecified time during the reign of Pope Francis, the pope succeeding Benedict XVI. Mediaeval Saint Malachy supposedly predicted Peter the Roman (Petrus Romanus) would be the last pope, Rome would be destroyed and a terrible judge would judge his people, The end. Doomsayers have already started shoehorning the new pope into the prediction.
* 2015: Solar flare.
* 2015 (September 23rd): (some references give a margin of September 18th to September 25th) Asteroid.
* 2015 (October 7th): eBible Fellowship, an organization vaguely related to the late-Harold Camping, is confident they've got the date right this time.
