When is the latest date prophesied for an end to this world?

many prophecies for an end of the world say the year 2012 will be the end. are there others that give a later date? if so, when? and what are the sources for reading further about them?

2016:

Allegedly, a Prof. Lloyd Cunningdale was excavating the Donner party disaster site and found a time capsule left by the settlers. Among their predictions: That mankind would use biological warfare in the future, and that humanity would be wiped out by disease in 2016.

2034:

Biblical research and calculations by John Denton point to this year. Very confusing to explain the calculations. Not very credible, and disputed by Bible scholars.

2060:

Sir Isaac Newton predicted twice in his lifetime (in private papers) that he believed the world would end this year. His calculations were based on bilbical clues and the year in which the "Pope's supremacy" began.

...and more dates to come. Everyone's jumping on that 2012 bandwagon right now. But once it passes, then more dates will crop up.

@chriswinga, the source is noted in my Source section as:
http://www.sullivan-county.com/nf0/y2k/bible_ca.htm

They cited the source as being from....get this...The Weekly World News (hence why I added "allegedly".) At first I wasn't going to note this "speculation", but then it occurred to me that it seemed as legitimate as most of the rest. So much of it is wild speculation. :)

I'm thinking to not be too concerned about what these folks predict. This reasoning comes from the Bible which on this subject says:

"But the exact day and hour? No one knows that, not even heaven's angels, not even the Son. Only the Father knows." Matthew 24:36 From the Message, the Bible in Contemporary Language.
source(s):
The Bible

thank you. i am asking this for someone close to me who has suddenly been caught up in concerns of "end times". i'm of the mindset that says if you aren't doing anything wrong, what difference does it make when the world ends?
i'm trying to find as much info as possible to show that not everyone believes the 2012 stuff...... maybe i should have him watch some Mel Brooks movies :P

In around 1.1 Billion years they've calculated the sun will expand or something and make the earth uninhabitable. ;-) Heh heh. That's probably not what you're interested in, just joking.

I've heard that the "Ramptha" religion invented by J. Z. Knight of the USA has some apocalyptic theories, although I'm not aware of specific dates. You could look into them ... good luck! :)

The world will end in 2012, say experts .......................................
SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS from around the world are predicting that five years from now, all life on Earth could well come to an end. Some are saying it’ll be humans that would set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it’ll be God himself who would press the stop button. The following are some likely arguments as to why the world would end by the year 2012.

Reason one: Mayan calendar

The first to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things -- building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and sacrificing virgins.

Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it’s likely they’ve got the end of the world right as well.

Reason two: Sun storms

Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery. Our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic and it’s supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the earth with lot of radiation energy. It’s been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse and calculations suggest it’ll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012.

Reason three: The atom smasher

Scientists in Europe have been building the world’s largest particle accelerator. Basically, its a 27 km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it’s properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They’re predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.

Reason four: The Bible says it

If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn’t bad enough, religious folks are getting in on the act as well. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between good an evil, has been set for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese Book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.

Reason five: Super volcano

Yellowstone National Park in United States is famous for its thermal springs and old faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple -- it’s sitting on top of the world’s biggest volcano and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we’re many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.

Reason six: The physicists

This one’s case of bog -- simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berkely University have been crunching the numbers. They’ve determined that the earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they’re claiming that their calculations prove that we’re all going to die, very soon. They are also saying that their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 per cent; and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.

Reason seven: Earth’s magnetic field

We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that shields us from most of the sun’s radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call North and South have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so -- and right now we’re about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30 kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is under way, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.

Last I heard the 2012 date was still the big one. Still is according to the wackos prophesied the end of the world on the streets of NYC too.

there's always someone saying the end is near. i guess they want to be the prophet who is credited with the correct date..... one big giant "i told you so" or something. 1997? was it?... the planets aligned and nothing happened....1999 it was supposed to end, and again, we're still here...........turn of the millennium? nothing.......blah.
i'm trying to get much info to give to someone to get them to stop obsessing over ending and concentrate on living.

Well, like you said... there is always the Dec. 21st 2012 theory, when the sun will eclipse the center of the galaxy from the earth.

http://www.history.com/content/armageddon

But it is just a theory, brought on by hype from Nostradamus, the end of the Mayan Calendar, and many other loosely tied together theories.

But there are 220 dates that the world could have ended apparently, check it out:

Personally I think that the 2012 date is not the end but the beginning of a new cycle just because the calender reaches 13.0.0.0.0 the highest number doesn't mean the world will end it'll just reset to 0.0.0.0.1. I think that maybe we will evolve further when the new date comes. You know first man invented fire then language then written language etc. which were all very important events in our evolution so in this new cycle we will evolve further. Perhaps mankind will become aware of a great truth and we will finally come together as one and we will have no more wars and our consciousness will awaken and we will become a more enlightened species. BUT who knows maybe the world will be destroyed there are a ton of different theories about 2012 and we aren't even totally sure that dec. 21 2012 is acually the end of the great cycle, maybe absolutely nothing will happen no one is really sure and if they say they are they are lying.

As for a doomsday situation after 2012 theirs a thing about an asteroid collision in 2036 I'm sure if we all survive 2012 their will be alot of hoopla about that as well as many other doomsday prophecies.
