Well, it has emerged that this gloomy, world-ending event could coincide with the sinisterly-named phenomenon that is the Blood Moon.
And the celestial marriage of our collective wipe-out with the scarlet-hued lunar eclipse is likely to spell big news in conspiracy theory land.

Biblical theorists say our demise will occur when an asteroid strikes the Earth in September 2015
Biblical theorists have been predicting Earth’s demise for some time – even prompting Nasa to speak up in an effort to quell the end-of-days chatter.
Earlier this year, a weary spokesman repeated: “Nasa knows of no asteroid or comet currently on a collision course with Earth, so the probability of a major collision is quite small.
"In fact, as best as we can tell, no large object is likely to strike the Earth any time in the next several hundred years."

Coincidentally the end of days is scheduled to occur on the same day as a Blood Moon
Nonetheless, the legacy of self-proclaimed prophet Rev Efrain Rodriguez - credited as the originator of the asteroid prediction after reportedly writing to Nasa in 2010 to say he had learned of the impending disaster via a message from God - lives on.
He warned that said rock is alleged to make landfall in the ocean near Puerto Rico between 22 – 28 September 2015, causing a massive earthquake and tsunami.
Meanwhile, scientists can confirm a Blood Moon – a lunar eclipse caused by the Moon sliding into the Earth’s shadow thus casting a reddish hue upon it - is set to occur on the 28 September, signaling for some doomsdayers one hell of a double whammy.
This will be the fourth Blood Moon within 18 months – a beautiful, rare and harmless phenomenon astronomers term a 'tetrad’.
Several books have been published about the phenomenon, with authors noting a Bible passage that refers to the moon turning into blood. “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord,” Joel 2:31 says.
In the New Testament, Acts 2:20 echoes the same doom: “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord.”
All in all, if the dates of these events tally 28 September promises to be one heck of a Monday.
If you are troubled by these interpretations, perhaps the words of Gemma Lavender, features editor for All About Space magazine will soothe you.
Lavender told the Liverpool Echo: "There are claims that, with the moon getting closer to Earth, that there is an increased risk of events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions - this is false."
With all this in mind, here are seven predicted Armageddons you've already survived. And one that you won't.
7 Predicted Apocalypses You've Already Survived (And One You Definitely Won't)

Y2K: The rise of the machines(02 of08)

This worldwide armageddon phenomenon struck ahead of the millenium, causing governments and companies across the world to assess their computer systems for potential bugs.
Although many thought Y2K was a computer virus that would cause machines to rise up and kill their creators á la Terminator, it was actually a consideration of the date systems used in computers. Some manufacturers had failed to use the full year dating system, so most aging tech at the time considered the year to be 99 instead of 1999. Worried that the machines would malfunction and be rendered useless or vulnerable when they ticked over to 00, the world population strived to rectify the issue.And it definitely didn't result in planes falling out of the sky or microwaves trying to kill their human masters, which is good.

The Harold Camping quintuple apocalypse(05 of08)

After already wrongly predicting armageddon three times in 1994 and once in 1995, in 2011 Harold Camping of the Family Stations Ministry stated that the Rapture would occur on May 21st and this would be followed by the end of the world 5 months later.
Reuters camped outside the preacher's house on the eve of ascension, only to see him emerge "flabbergasted" on the 22nd.
The next day, Camping revised his prediction and said that the faithful would ascend to heaven on the same day as the Earth's destruction, October 21st.
Needless to say, that didn't happen. (credit:Marcio Jose Sanchez/AP)

The Floridian's outlandish claims were overshadowed, however, by the sheer virality of the Mayan 2012 prophecy. (credit:Miami Herald via Getty Images)

Prompting a disaster film titled 2012 and various History channel "documentaries", the end of the ancient Mayan calendar was widely believed to be an omen of the end of the world.
Despite NASA scientists saying nothing would happen, believers thought the world would be struck by an asteroid or some other interplanetary object on December 21st 2012.
It wasn't. (credit:AP)
The inevitable gloomy death of everything(08 of08)

It is estimated that in the 3×1041st century, all nucleons in the observable universe will decay causing any remaining life in existence to evaporate entirely.
This is known as the Total Existence Failure of the universe, and it doesn't sound very pleasant at all.
That is, if we avoid the galaxy Andromeda colliding with ours in the 40 millionth century. (credit:Shutterstock)
