The world as you know it ...

will end tonight.

At least according to the Blood Moon Prophets, John Hagee and Mark Biltz. This is because of an ongoing tetrad (a series of four consecutive lunar eclipses—coinciding on Jewish holidays—with six full moons in between, and no intervening partial lunar eclipses) which began with the April 2014 lunar eclipse is a sign of the end times as described in the Bible in Acts 2:20 -- [The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord] and Revelation 6:12 [I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red.]. The tetrad ends with the September 27/28, 2015 lunar eclipse. 
It will be total around 10:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, but start watching about 8:10. You will need an unobstructed view to the east.
 Of course, there have been 62 tetrads since the first century AD, eight of which have coincided with both the feasts. Thus, the event is not as unusual as Hagee and Biltz imply. Additionally, three of the four eclipses in the tetrad will not even be visible in the biblical homeland of Israel, casting further doubt on Hagee and Biltz's interpretation.

So don't put off paying your bills or feeding your cats on the assumption that this will be unnecessary tomorrow morning.

At any rate, the world as you know it will end tonight. The world as you knew it yesterday ended. Some of the people alive yesterday have died -- lots of them. Some people unborn have been born. Leaves have fallen, you have aged, a bit more of the Antarctic ice has melted. It is a new world each day. 

So enjoy it!

I am rather tired of the myriad of ends of the worlds I have lived through. I vote for this one to really happen so we are spared any more time seeing Mr. Trump wherever we go.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was just about to empty the bank accounts and party like there was no tomorrow! ;)
