Apophis and the Number 7: Why it May Impact Earth in 2029 or 2036
The great mountain seven stades round, after peace, war, famine, inundation:
It will roll far drowning great countries, even ancient ones, and great foundation.
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
Thus is the case with the giant asteroid Apophis (the Greek name of the Egyptian god of Chaos, Apep, also called The Evil Uncreator), due to next approach our planet on April 13, 2029 and again in late March 2036. After that the intervals between passages lengthen significantly. If Earth is not impacted by Apophis in 2029 or 2036, then the next two flybys that will be as dangerously close are in 2068 and 2105.
On April 13, 2029 it will pass 31,000 kilometers of Earth. The distance is ten times CLOSER than the moon, and even closer than some man-made satellites. The colossal asteroid will skim the Earth from a height at which many of the planet’s spacecraft operate. It will be the closest asteroid of its size in recorded history ... aside from the one that destroyed the dinosaurs. On that date, it will become as bright as magnitude 3, an easy naked eye object assuming it doesn't impact (in which case it will be very bright indeed, briefly). The asteroid is almost as tall as NYC's Empire State Building and would have the explosive force of 750 megatons if it impacted the Earth. For comparison, the largest hydrogen bomb ever detonated had the explosive force of 57 megatons. In terms of natural disasters the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa was the equivalent of roughly 200 megatons.
What is lacking for the great destroyer is a base 7 precedent somewhere in our past. There is none, but by assuring us that Apophis will return again seven years later in 2036, assuming it does not impact earth in 2029, a future precedent is established. By becoming a base 7 event, Apophis also becomes a potentially catastrophic event waiting to happen in EITHER 2029 or 2036.
It is that number 7 that makes it dangerous, not the scientific data.
Regardless of the projections or potential kill/miss ratios, APOPHIS WILL become a BASE 7 EVENT between April 2029 and March 2036. Thus all initial warnings made must be heeded, such as the likelihood that if the colossal giant does not strike Earth in 2029, it will shear our planet's atmosphere and return for a full on impact in 2036. Some destructive heat energy may even be unleashed in 2029 due to the shearing effect.
Even so, scientists have only now been conducting simulation tests to figure out what would happen if Apophis struck our planet or impacted a large city such as New York.
Still, that is only 7 years after the Chelyabinsk meteor entered Earth's atmosphere over Russia on February 15, 2013. The light from the meteor was brighter than the Sun, visible up to 62 miles away. It produced a huge shock wave of about the same force as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Over 7,200 buildings in six cities across the region were damaged by the explosion's shock wave, and about 1,500 people were injured seriously enough to seek medical treatment. The only precedent for the Chelyabinsk meteor was the 1908 Tunguska event (June 30). That was 105 (7 x 15) years earlier. Apophis, although not expected to come very close to Earth (supposedly), will pass uncomfortably close in terms of the base 7 interval between February 15, 2013 and January 5, 2020. This is the sort of interval that often occurs in base 7 between two similar events, off by six weeks, a month or two months (or occasionally spot on to the very day).
Perhaps Apophis will in some manner produce a small fragment that will stray quickly to Earth on or near January 5, 2020 ... one that will rival the force and brightness of the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor. We might think of it as a kind of calling card to remind us of the bigger threat posed by Apophis in 2029 or 2036.
June 24, 2020: It is no longer believed that the asteroid that caused the Tunguska Effect in Siberia on June 30, 1908 created an air burst similar to what occurred in Chelyabinsk in 2013 before crashing into the earth. It is now believed that the asteroid never hit our planet at all. Instead, the mere shearing of earth's upper atmosphere by the Tunguska asteroid produced a shock wave that resulted in nearly 800 square miles in the Siberian forest to be flattened within seconds, then the asteroid shot back out into space. One can appreciate the degree of damage and destruction this shock wave produced:
Tunguska event may have been caused by iron asteroid that went back into space, researchers say
The Tunguska event, a seismic blast that rocked a remote Siberian forest more than a century ago, is believed to have been caused by a meteor that exploded before it hit the ground. A new study sheds more light on the asteroid, noting it may have never actually hit Earth at all.
Meteor that blasted millions of trees in Siberia only 'grazed' Earth, new research says
(Image: © Sovfoto/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) A new explanation for a massive blast over a remote Siberian forest in 1908 is even stranger than the mysterious incident itself. Known as the Tunguska event, the blast flattened more than 80 million trees in seconds, over an area spanning nearly 800 square miles (2,000 square kilometers) - but left no crater.
Unfortunately on April 13, 2029, Apophis will in a similar fashion SHEAR OUR UPPER ATMOSPHERE! The catastrophic damage it will almost certainly cause may be comparable to Tunguska, except it may happen over a habitable, populated part of the planet. Imagine 800 square miles of an area that included New York City, Paris, London, or any other capital city ... or simply a large city anywhere or a populated area outside of a city. It will be nothing less than apocalyptic. If it also passes through Earth's keyhole, it will then return on April 13, 2036 and IMPACT!
We watched in horror because we realized that what happened to king-sized planet Jupiter could one day happen to little old Earth. One of the fragments that hit Jupiter was actually well over a mile in circumference!
Thus, instead of an asteroid impact, we might experience a number of smaller impacts. Maybe many impacts ... like a hail of fire:
Revelation 8:7: The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
Whether or not the asteroid breaks up into fragments completely or partially, or even impacts entirely, the 1994 Shoemaker-Levy 9 precedent indicates something very bad may happen on April 13, 2029, courtesy of Apophis.

NASA Says God of Chaos Asteroid Won't Hit Earth for 100 Years at Least
The "poster child" for hazardous asteroids—named after an ancient Egyptian god of chaos—has no chance of striking the Earth over the next 100 years at the very least, according to a new NASA analysis. Prior to the latest analysis, a small chance remained that the space rock, known as 99942 Apophis, could collide with our planet in the year 2068.
Much-feared asteroid Apophis won't hit Earth for at least 100 years, Nasa says
Nasa has given Earth the all clear on the chances of an asteroid called Apophis hitting our planet any time in the next century, having worried space scientists for over 15 years. The 340-metre (1,100ft) chunk of space rock hit the headlines in 2004 after its discovery led to some worrying forecasts about its orbit. It became a “poster child for hazardous asteroids”, according to one Nasa expert.

Mass Sex Slaying of at least 8 Women
Unlike Richard Speck, This Killer will Slay His Wife and Son First
Quand l'adultere blessé sans coup aura merdri la femme & le filz par despit,
ferme assoumee l'enfant estranglera: Huit captifz prins, s'estouffer sans respit.
When the adulterer wounded without a blow will have murdered his wife and son out of spite;
his wife knocked down, he will strangle the child: Eight captives taken, choked beyond help.
Nor can we compare the events in this quatrain with the recent attacks on three Atlanta-area massage parlors where eight people were shot to death by a gunman. Seven of the victims were women, I believe, and one was a male. This case, in turn, is reminiscent of the August 2008 LA Fitness Gym shootings where gym member George Sodini walked in one night and randomly shot 13 women. Three died, the other ten were critically injured.
These ruthless and horrifying events have been classified as "mass murders." Likewise the mass shootings of people attending a country music concert in Las Vegas and the many school shootings over the past two decades have been characterized as "mass murders" as well. The massage parlor and gym murders were also termed as "sexist" as the victims were all or mostly women. There can be no argument about that.
But there is a problem. The nightmarish events of July 1966 carried out by Richard Speck against eight student nurses has also been categorized over the years as a "mass murder" by criminal sociologists. Given the spate of dozens of shootings over the years as being considered "mass murders" the term seems rather weak and only technically accurate when applied to the Speck slayings. Indeed, in 1966, the term used most often in the news was "sex murders" or "sex slayings" and "mass murder" reported as an afterthought.
Nor could the killings be called "serial murders" (a term that would not be in use until the Zodiac murders) as those are sex slayings that occur by one perpetrator (or a collaboration of two) over a period of time ... many months and even years ... in a certain area or even all over the country. I should add that not all serial murders are sexual in nature, but most are.
The case of Richard Speck, therefore, is virtually unique. It is a kind of murder that is much more personal than a mass shooting is, murders involving close physical contact over a period of hours, use of restraints to keep the victims from escaping, false assurances that the victims will be freed after the ordeal is over if they cooperate, and usually also the rape of victims before they are murdered. Victims are usually stabbed or strangled or both ... as was the case with student nurses in 1966. And if the perpetrator isn't caught, he may never again repeat his crimes (unlike the serial murderer).
Some background now about the Richard Speck slayings:
High on alcohol and drugs, Speck threatened and attacked the women with a gun and a butcher's knife, bound and gagged them, then, over the course of the night, raped each one, strangling and/or stabbing each one dead afterwards. A ninth student nurse, Cora Amurao, escaped to testify against him by hiding under a bed while her housemates were killed.
Detectives would find Gloria Davy dead on the sofa, naked and sexually assaulted. Upstairs, Pamela Wilkening had been gagged and stabbed through the heart. Suzanne Farris was in a pool of blood, having been strangled with her own stockings and stabbed 18 times. Mary Ann Jordan was stabbed three times. Nina Schmale was stabbed in a pattern around her broken neck. Valentina Paison's throat had been cut. Merlita Gargullo had been stabbed and strangled. Patricia Matusek was also strangled. The women had been so disfigured that the director of nurses was able to recognize only 3 of them.
Thus, the Speck "Student Nurse Murders" (aka "Richard Speck Sex Murders") are unique in the annals of crime. Often the basis for both A-list and low budget horror films, like Sorority House Massacre, what used to be called "slasher films," these movies would have the viewer believe the student nurse murders have happened many times over the years. But that is simply not so. Again, Speck's crime was unique and has never really been repeated.
But if we look at Nostradamus, Quatrain 8.63, it is clear his crime will be repeated. And it will be even worse: there will be ten murder victims rather than eight. Also, unlike Speck, this killer will be married with one child ... and he will attack both first before going out to murder more.
Something will set the killer off. It says "the adulterer will be wounded without a blow." Someone, probably his wife or else "the other woman," will cause emotional injury ... he will be hurt to the point of homicide. Maybe the other woman will threaten to end the relationship or the wife will want a divorce ... and probably more will be involved to cause such injury.
He will knock his wife down. Her death may be accidental. Then he will proceed to strangle his son to death. His son must be a small boy unable to defend himself. There may be other children in the family, but they are not mentioned. If there are, they are not home when this happens or very small and asleep in another room (in which case their lives are spared for some reason). Then he goes out into the night and takes eight people hostage .... and murders them one by one. This is where the Richard Speck slayings operate as a precedent.
We do not know the gender of the eight victims. But we do know he overpowers them enough that he is able to strangle them one at a time. Speck used a gun to have one of the nurses tie up the other seven. The same thing could happen here. Speck stabbed and strangled his victims. However, in this case, Nostradamus says all eight will be strangled ("choked"). As the adulterer was "wounded" by a woman, I suspect all eight victims will be female again. These will be sex crimes ... but where this will happen is anyone's guess.
I am sure the world will think the crash is somehow linked to the 100 year event, but that's usually not the kind of anniversaries where things happen all over again. Usually a century repetition of history is actually a 98-year repeat (7 x 14 years). Thus there were 98 years between the assassinations of U.S. presidents Abraham Lincoln (1865) and John F. Kennedy (1963).
Thus if 1929 still had any influence on future events, it would cause a Crash of 2027. But the vibes from 1987 (Black Monday) and 2008 are much stronger and in line, making September-October 2029 the more likely vector. One good reason is that the 1987 event was much worse than the 1929 crash ... much, much worse. Yet, unlike 1929, Black Monday failed to plunge the country into a ten-year depression.
In fact it was the 1987 crash that I used to forecast the crash of 2008, an event that was fulfilled live on my main website. The 2008 crash resulted in the Great Recession, but failed to plunge the world economy into a depression as I predicted. So I was right about the crash and I was partially right about the longer term consequences.
But that is twice a major meltdown on Wall Street, both historic, failed to bring about another Great Depression. Perhaps in 2029 we will be as lucky as '87 and '08, but we all know what they say about three strikes in baseball: "three strikes and you're out."
However, this is an extraordinary situation: for the first time in modern history, a disease has caused a stock market crash and may result in a depression. For something like this, there is no precedent, and thus no historical pattern from which it could have been anticipated in advance. Not even most prophecy has directly linked plague with the world economy. But now that it has happened, COVID19 has become a precedent for financial disaster due to pandemics ... something future generations will have to learn from and include in their calculations.
