Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone.

Am I the only one who thinks it would be great if the world ended May 21st? I'm sorry you're scared OP, but it seems like such an amazing sight to me. Just imagine, a bright light, a meteor, everyone falling over in the streets (like that one movie), lots of fire, whatever may happen. I'm sure it's just another false alarm, but I will be waiting outside for something amazing to happen.
It is quite understandble that you are afraid OP, after all whilst I'm not much of a believer myself I have to be honest this has got me slightly worried as well. In fact I hate doomsday predictions and the people who predict them, it does nothing but cause worry for others.
But of course like every other doomsday prediction this won't happen besides if it did, why hasn't it been broadcasted on british television I mean if this were serious then wouldn't the whole world know by now, and not every one has internet.
