2017 was the year of conspiracy theories, with crackpot David Meade predicted that a giant planet called Nibiru would crash into Earth, killing us all.

But despite Mr Meade’s claims, life continued and the Earth was not consumed by a massive fireball.

Now, another armageddon theory, based on one of the oldest books in the world, is predicting that death and destruction will come in 2018.

Conspiracy theorist Mathieu Jean-Marc Joseph Rodrigue has highlighted a passage in the Book of Revelations as a sign that 2018 could be the Earth’s last year.

It reads: “He was given authority to act for 42 months.”

Mr Joseph Rodrigue reckons the passage from Revelations when added to the crop harvest and price indicates a shocking truth.

He wrote: “I heard a voice in the middle of the four living beings.

“This is wisdom. He who has intelligence can interpret the figure of the beast.

“It represents the name of a man. His figure is 666.”

To find the date of the apocalypse, he takes the 666 figure and adds it to his earlier calculations, with the 42 months from the bible.

When all added together, he claims this indicates the world will end on June 24, 2018.

Despite his bold theory, Mr Joseph Rodrigue has not detailed how the world will come to destruction.

Backtracking on his claims, Mr Meade later said that seven years of disasters started on his original date of September 23, 2017.

NASA has rubbished any claims of a doomsday planet hurtling towards Earth, claiming we would be able to see it by now.
