Hysterical, eye-rolling peasant stuff. I quote from the Wiki article on Betelgeuse:In Isaiah 13:10 it states that the sun to be darkened is the constellation Orion, which according to mainstream media will soon go supernova; which fits the prophecies where the fire will burn our faces in that day (Isaiah 13:8).
The debate is do we realize we have little time left before Judgement Day, and then after the Messianic Age?
In my opinion.
"Due to misunderstandings caused by the 2009 publication of the star's 15% contraction, apparently of its outer atmosphere,[56][112] Betelgeuse has frequently been the subject of scare stories and rumors suggesting that it will explode within a year, leading to exaggerated claims about the consequences of such an event.[158][159] The timing and prevalence of these rumors have been linked to broader misconceptions of astronomy, particularly to doomsday predictions relating to the Mayan calendar.[160][161] Betelgeuse is not likely to produce a gamma-ray burst and is not close enough for its x-rays, ultraviolet radiation, or ejected material to cause significant effects on Earth.[12]"
It is, as others have pointed out, 640 light years away.
