Predictions For 2016: Asteroid To Hit Earth In May?

Despite the protestations by NASA, some insist that the skies are soon to be deadly. Earlier in 2015, Pastor Ricardo Salazar, from the Global Church of the King of Israel, in Tokyo, Japan, claimed that a “murderous” asteroid will strike the world in order to bring about doomsday prophecies related to the Anti-Christ.

“The asteroid that is coming to earth at 30,000 km per hour, that is made mainly of ice, is nine kilometers [5.6 miles] in diameter and it is a murderous one – it is going to hit the ocean,” Salazar said, according to Express. “In 2020 the Anti-Christ will come in the middle of a destroyed world that desperately will seek for peace.”

Salazar claims the asteroid will impact in the ocean, generating monstrous tsunamis which will sweep the globe. All in all, he is predicting that 1.2 billion people will die on May 16, 2016.

“Also the consequence will be famine in the world, infection, cholera…they will die and good neighbors will kill each other for food,” he added.

NASA has yet to comment on these 2016 predictions directly, but the scientists do maintain a NASA asteroid impact risk table that lists all of the potential near Earth objects that may be of concern. The table lists the years in which an asteroid may be in range of Earth and although the list of 2016 asteroids is fairly long the good news the Torino Impact Hazard Scale is a long list of zeroes, meaning that NASA feels “likelihood of a collision is zero, or is so low as to be effectively zero.”
