Nibiru, Sinkholes And Scare Talk
By Pete Rose
I have long questioned whether there really was a rogue planet called Nibiru, AKA Planet X. In the past with what little I heard about it, I thought of it mostly as a hoax. However, there is much more recent information coming available about it, and I find myself thinking it may be real.
Some are saying it is a brown dwarf star, one which has attracted enough material to become hot but is not yet hot enough to ignite the fusion fire that powers a star. It is said to be somewhat bigger than Jupiter and has a mass of about 1000 Earths. One account says it is coming from below the ecliptic, the plane of the planetary orbits at about a 40 degree angle. It is to pass through it somewhere out beyond Mars’ orbit, loop around the sun and pass within around 20 million miles of Earth as it heads back where it came from. It is believed that the orbit extends beyond the solar system into interstellar space, and that it returns to the solar system about every 3600 years, the length of the long count Mayan calendar.
Another group of scientists claim Nibiru is actually the planet Neptune in an unstable orbit that will bring it closest to the sun on December 21, 2012 and swinging back out within a few million miles of Earth. I think this theory highly unlikely. Still others say there is no such thing as Nibiru.
Proponents say the presence of Nibiru is causing the current increase in earthquakes. These earthquakes will increase in the frequency and intensity as indicated by Jesus in Matthew 24, and as told in the book of Revelation. A pair of earthquakes under the Indian Ocean back in April of this year could be part of this. The magnitude 8.6 and 8.2 quakes, the strongest strike-slip (sideways movement) quakes ever recorded, triggered strong aftershocks all around the world for six days afterward and left a complex pattern of faults over a large area of the ocean floor from the epicenter westward.

This fits in with the signs Jesus gave in His Olivet discourse (Matthew 24 and Luke 17) as do the wild weather and droughts that have been plaguing the planet in recent years.
Nibiru might also be responsible for the current sinkhole crisis in Assumption Parish in Louisiana where an ever-growing sinkhole has opened up along Bayou Corne, an inland waterway. At latest word the hole was some 550 feet across, still expanding, filled with water with methane and oil bubbling up from below, and the ground all around sinking day by day. Methane is also bubbling up in many other places and coming up people’s wells, in some cases miles away from the hole. Authorities fear something, possibly the Indian Ocean quakes, may have opened fissures into reservoirs of methane and oil, and there is nothing they can do to stop it. Also of concern, a crack along the edge of the sinkhole has now extended into an area where 1.5 million barrels of liquid butane are stored. If that starts leaking, big trouble. Some are saying it could cause an explosion with the force of 100 or more Hiroshima bombs. Personally I believe such fears to be greatly exaggerated. For more information do a lookup for Bayou Corne sinkhole.
Proponents of Nibiru also say as it draws near to the sun, magnetic interactions with the sun will cause a great increase in solar activity, flares, coronal mass ejections and the like, which will cause magnetic storms on Earth with the capacity to knock out the power grid. This could also cause worldwide auroras to be seen, fitting in with signs in the heavens Jesus predicted. Radiation from these flares could also adversely affect the health of millions.
If Nibiru is real, the earthquakes, solar eruptions and other effects are only going to get worse as it approaches Earth. And this could be the cause of the earthquakes predicted in the book of Revelation, as the after effects and instability created by the gravitational pull of Nibiru cause the quakes to continue even after it is gone.
