Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci predicted that the world would end in 4006, a Vatican researcher has claimed.
According to Sabrina Sforza Galitzia, da Vinci foresaw the end of the world in a "universal flood" which would begin on March 21, 4006 and end on November 1, 4006.

"He believed that this would mark a new start for humanity," she said.
The Vatican researcher came to the conclusion by deciphering the clues which are available in da Vinci’s ‘Last Supper’ mural - the lunette above his painting of Jesus Christ with his disciples before crucifixion.
“There is a da Vinci code - it is just not the one made popular by Dan Brown,” said Galitzia, who studied da Vinci manuscripts as a researcher at California University in Los Angeles and now works in the Vatican archives.
Last year, the Vatican published her study ‘The Last Supper of Leonardo in the Vatican’, in which she examined a tapestry of the Last Supper made for King Louis XIII of France, based on da Vinci’s design for his famous mural.
Galitzia said she was working on a sequel which would explain da Vinci’s hidden “code”, involving signs of the zodiac and his use of the 24 letters of the Latin alphabet to represent the 24 hours of the day.
Da Vinci had seen the story of humanity as leading to "the sum of all things, the final reckoning" described in the Book of Revelations but also by ancient writers such as Plato and Aristotle, the Times quoted Galitzia as saying.
He had been a scientist and man of faith who had lived in "difficult times" and had hidden his messages "so as not to be attacked", she said. Da Vinci began working on the Last Supper in 1495 and finished it in 1498.
It was restored between 1978 and 1999 after it had badly deteriorated.

Is the End of the World for December 2012?
First, we need to say a few words about the people that lived in Central America until the Spanish conquests. Apart from Aztecs, the mayan civilization represents an important period of the Mexican history. Located in the Yucatan province, Mayas had powerful shamans who were studying the cycles of the universe. They believed an accurate observation of the stars and planets would allow them to predict the future. Actually, they did! Long before these events happened, Mayan shamans foresaw Christopher Colombus' arrival and the end of their civilization.
The end of the world is the time when we leave this earthly world for eternal life to come … either in HELL or in Heaven. We are the architects of our own eternal life. So, let us design our earthly lives to suit where we go after the end of the world.

My dear Friend Sylvester,
ReplyDeleteThank you for refering my blog in your wonderfull blog.It is good to know that many are so concern about the End times or"Hari Dunia Kiamat" and that so much efforts have been done to predict "D-Day"when the world come to an end.What an effort by Leonardo Da vinci got it wrong to "unbreak"the so called code predicting the world to end by 4006 and So does Nostradamus or the 2012 Mayan's prophecy.However I hold unto my belief that God would never tell anyone about the exact timing when this world will come to an end.Over 2000 years ago,the Lord Jesus has foretold and made this strong statement :"But of that day and hour NO ONE KNOWS,not even the angels of heaven,but My Father only"(Matthew 24:37).Jesus never lie,for He did say "I am the way,the TRUTH and the life"I hold unto Christ's word that NO ONE on this face of the earth can predict the day,date,hour or year when this world will come to an end.The Bible simply admonished us to "get ready,be wacthfull and observe".The Bible however did reveal the "signs"that the world is nearly coming to an end."Flood-Tsunami,Earthquakes,wars,rumors of wars,nation against nation,kingdom against kingdom,prosecution to Christians,Apostasy in many churches and cold love in the heart of men"These are all the signs that have been predicted in the Bible.These are the "signs"that Chris's Second coming is so near and the World is about to come to an end.Yet NO ONE KNOWS THE TIME AND HOUR OF IT.God bless us all.(Dr.J.Loudin-Blog Author-"Revelation Revealed")
Farouq Omaro: I agree with gundohing that the end of the world is when we die. Therefore its useless for us to wonder when it would end, for God says to us, "don't worry about tomorrow for tomorrow shall take care of itself"
