Nuclear War Begins September 12, 2006

According to a press release issued by The House of Yahweh - theologically a cult of Christianity - nuclear war will begin on September 12, 2006.

Now, before you start packing your dishes, note the following from the Jan. 10, 2000 issue of the Los Angeles Times:

According to the House of Yahweh, a Christian sect, when Yasir Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin shook hands at the White House on Sept. 13, 1993, they began a seven-year tribulation that will end this Sept. 13 and bring about the end of the world."

Of course failed prophecies seldom discourage certain religious types from trying again. Hence the the House of Yahweh has recently rescheduled the beginning of the end of the world for this September 12.

September is going to be a bad month anyway, because another cult - The Lord’s Witnesses and the True Bible Code - has also scheduled a nuclear event:

We now predict a terrorist Nuclear Bomb will hit the UN plaza in Midtown Manhattan on the sabbath of 2006Elul13 (Sundown Friday September 8th to Sundown Saturday September 9th)

Earlier the same group predicted that the UN would take over the world sometime between March 26th and April 24th of 2001, and that a worldwide famine would begin in September that same year.

It should be noted that the group's web site helpfully includes a list of failed prophecies ("mistakes").

Meanwhile, over in Texas (uhuh), the House of Yahweh states

Nuclear war will start September 12, 2006, but that is not the end.

The group’s leader has a much nicer looking web site, with such helpful articles as "Amazing Prophecies Showing The Exact Date When Nuclear War Will Start And Where!"
