According to Russian scientists, the new Armageddon called “Apophis” will approach us on 13 April 2029. Some people believe that a potential impact could lead to the end of the world in 2029.

An asteroid, which originally has not been given the importance, is likely to hit the Earth. According to the estimations of Russian scientists, it will happen on April 13, 2029.

However, as noted by Professor Leonid Sokolov of St. Petersburg University,

Apophis will approach our planet at 37-38.000 km in 2029, but a possible collision with Earth could occur seven years later, on April 13, 2036.”

The asteroid 99942 Apophis is not new to scientists since it was first discovered in 2004 by Roy A. Tucker, David J. Tholen, and Fabricio Bernardi in Observatory in Arizona, USA.

The destructive path of the asteroid will include the Middle East, South America, and the west coast of Africa.

With the help of a simulation application, researchers at the University of Southampton found that, depending on where the Apophis will hit, it could cause the death of 10 million people.

But there is also an optimistic scenario: the asteroid is likely to break up into smaller pieces and not to affect the Earth. However, only in 2029 when it will approach the Earth, it will be possible to get more exact information on whether the Apophis will enter the orbit of our planet.

This little probability was enough to motivate the Russian scientists to work on finding a solution.

We are developing a number of scenarios for what to do in such a case to treat it properly,” said Sokolov adding that everything will be done according to the laws of physics.

The Russians are looking for ways to divert the asteroid’s course and consider launching a spacecraft for this purpose to prevent a potential end of the world in 2029.

Note that Apophis was the Greek name of an Egyptian deity who was trying to harm the Earth, destroying the Sun during the night.

    Neil Cernan said it would hit us in 2029. NASA shut him up!

    The End of the World Sounds Perfect. It might as well go up in a Huge Ball of fire.

    According to Daniel 12:11, this date of April 13, 2029, is exactly 1,290 days from Yom Te’Ruah (Feast of Trumpets), 2025, if you’re following the Zadok/Enochian calendar, which is the original calendar that our Creator, God Most High, Yah, created and used for His Word’s timing. You take out the solstices and equinoxes, as they are not counted, but used as dividers for the four 90-day periods that comprise a 360-day calendar, and you arrive at the 1,290 days.

    When you consider that the Bible is entirely written about the region formerly known as Asia Minor (the Middle East), so its focus is entirely on those nations that SURROUND Israel, not further out, the odds are, Apophis is going to hit this region.

    To me, this is completely logical, but many will want to argue with me. The Bible says not to argue with a brother or sister in Christ. Do your research, before responding in malice.
