END OF THE WORLD? Christian sect predicts Earth will be 'annihilated with fire' TODAY
A CHRISTIAN sect has predicted that the Earth will be "annihilated" with fire today after originally getting the date wrong.
The eBible Fellowship claims the world will end 'by fire' today
Religious group eBible Fellowship thinks the world are facing an October of obliteration, just days after defying the odds to survive the super blood moon.
The organisation previously claimed the world would end on 21 May 2011 - but the fanatics got the wrong date.
Now the fellowship insists it has the correct date this time round.

It'll be gone forever. Annihilated
Leader of the sect Chris McCann is adamant the human race is facing complete destruction today.
He said: "According to what the Bible is presenting it does appear that 7 October will be the day that God has spoken of: in which, the world will pass away.
"It'll be gone forever. Annihilated."
Religious fanatics think the blood moon signals the end of the world
Mr McCann claims that the earth will be obliterated "with fire" after it was claimed last month that the super blood moon would trigger a chain of events that will see Earth destroyed within seven years.
But eBible, based in Philadelphia, says that rapture is much closer.
McCann said: "God destroyed the first Earth with water, by a flood, in the days of Noah. And he says he'll not do that again, not by water. But he does say in 2nd Peter 3 that he'll destroy it by fire."
The theorist's expectation stems from a previous prediction by redial radio host Harold Camping who claimed in 2011 that the world would end in May that year.
But when it turned out he was wrong he shifted the prediction to October 2011.
Camping was wrong again and retired from public life soon after.
Jehovah's Witness predicts end of the world
However McCann believes that Camping's 21 May 2011 prediction did have some truth - claiming that day was "judgement day" because it was actually the day God stopped the process of selecting which churchgoers will survive Wednesday's rapture.
He claims that God said he would devote 1.600 days to selecting which churchgoers to save - bringing us right up to today.
McCann said: "There's a strong likelihood that this will happen.
"Which means there's an unlikely possibility that it will not."
