Here we go again: God's gonna destroy the world!!!! Think he means it this time??
Sorry to give such short notice; but Mathieu Jean-Marc Joseph Rodrigue Predicts the World Will End on June 24, 2018:
Live it up, everyone. The world is going to end… again!
According to Biblical scholar — or conspiracy theorist, depending on whom you ask — Mathieu Jean-Marc Joseph Rodrigue, the world is scheduled to end on June 24. As evidence, he cites a passage in the Book of Revelations: “And a mouth was given to [the Beast], speaking great things and blasphemy, and it was given authority to act forty and two months.”

“I heard a voice in the middle of the four living beings,” Rodrigue said. “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.”
Donald Trump, maybe?? Hmmm?
From this information, Rodrigue combined 666 with the number 42 and somehow arrived at the date June 24. (Don’t try that math at home.)
It’s true that the beasts have been busy in June 2018, and they have indeed been given mouths. On June 13, a raccoon climbed a 20-story office tower in St. Paul, Minnesota, captivating the entire planet with its determined, death-defying feat. And it was given a mouth, of sorts, by National Public Radio’s local affiliate station, Minnesota Public Radio, which kept up a lively Twitter feed chronicling the beast’s eventual rescue (via cat food). Does Twitter count as a mouth? Don’t tell the president. Also, the station sold raccoon tote bags (as one does, in public radio) and a local musician wrote a song about her.

This is the most you can find out about 'him':
Now, I've never heard of him. And I couldn't find out much about him. There is a Mathieu Jean-Marc Joseph Rodrigue on Facebook. Not positive if it's the same guy, but his post of a doomsday clock suggests it could be. There's also an @MathieuJeanMar on Twitter whose only post has the hashtag #FinDelMundo 2018 ("End of the World 2018"
.
Assuming it's really him, he has only eight Facebook friends and 38 Twitter followers. Why bother building a big social network if the world is just going to end, right?
But whoever Mathieu Jean-Marc Joseph Rodrigue is -- we'll call him Matt for short -- he made tabloid headlines at the beginning of the year saying that by his calculations, the world was going to end June 24, 2018. And by our calculations, that's today.

So there's a good chance it's someone that the British tabloid Daily Star made up on a slow day in January to fill space. And even if he does exist, who cares that one person, previously unheard of, decided that they'd claim the world will end? As the Arkansas link points out, the 'math' is so pathetic that it doesn't really exist.
