Interesting theory, but why pick the 2022 pass by? It's already trailing huge dust clouds and will pass almost as closely this time, and during a full moon according to my calendar.

On this pass, the comet will be passing over the north of the Earth and then the comet will move ahead of the Earth by millions of miles. In 2022, the comet will be nearly in sink with the Earth except that it will pass in an orbit about 4.5 million miles inside of Earth's orbit. Depending on where the cloud forms and drifts to, the Sun could very well be obscured by it in 16 years.

If that is the case, then it would mark the beginning of the end as foretold by John the Apostle more than 1900 years ago.

What an awesome and yet terrifiying thought that we could be living in those prophetical times....at least for those of us that are under 50 yrs old.

Today, I work to prepare my family for the tougher times to come. The most important part is to be right with God and men. Many see the revelation of Jesus Christ as the outpouring of the wrath of God, but it is also a time of great testing of those that believe and a preparation of the Earth for his return in power.

How will we treat one another when things get incredibly tough for everyone? Those who have the ability should consider preparing underground living quarters with air filters that do not need electricity to function. When you prepare, prepare so that you may help others survive as well. Seed would be a good thing to store up, but the most important things are to store up treasure with God who can keep and reward it.

Look after the widows, fatherless children and the homeless. We need to put our priorities straight and put away our TVs and internet obsessions. Read and prepare ourselves with what we need to know in order to survive and help others survive. This will be the ultimate Survivor...but this time it's for real.

I guess I will be acquiring a telescope for this event hopegully I will get some interesting views.

davenmann,

Is is still possible this comet could produce this sign in 2006, or is it really highly unlikely? In this bible King Solomon states that there's nothing new under the sun, and whatever has happened before will happen again.

I wonder if this type of sign, sun turning black as looking sack cloth causing the sun to turn blood red??

Due to the way this comet has broken up, I doubt that this comet will produce the sign this year. I cannot say there is no possibility though.

There is also a slight possibility in 2022, but we should probably look on to another comet. There are several known comets that are possibles, but none of them have broken up. A broken comet passing between Earth and Sun is what is required to produce such an effect.

Anything can happen more suddenly than people imagine. There are many comets & asteroids that are discovered just days before they pass the earth at close range. An example is an 800 meter(1/2 mile diameter) asteroid that was just discovered a couple weeks ago known as 2006 GY2. This asteroid will pass the earth at about 1.7 million miles away on May 12. That's a fair distance off, but pretty close considering its' size.

There are comets that swing around the sun and then pass the earth from the direction of the sun and moving outward into the solar system. Those are very difficult to spot. One day the sign may just appear without any warning at all....even though we have a good idea of what the sign is caused by.
