I have to admit, I don't have time to read the thread.

No, of course it's not the end. A lot of things have to happen first. But it's the beginning of the end. It's when the tribulation starts. It's when the Mayan's white god returns, or the beginning of the Biblical end of days. If you follow the thoughts on the blood moons Biblically, then it fits (well, depending on who's views you follow). It fits perfectly. It fits perfectly for many religions.

Doubting anything huge happens on that day specifically that the public will notice. All the same, all the signs point to a perfect fit. Get ready for 3.5 years of real hell!
