The Secret 3,600 Year Doom Cycle

Discussing current events and how they relate to Biblical prophesy. What are some critical signs are pointing to the imminent Rapture of the Church?

“Then there will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and there will be anguish on the earth among nations bewildered by the roaring sea and waves. People will faint from fear and expectation of the things that are coming on the world, because the celestial powers will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near!” 

Then He told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. As soon as they put out leaves you can see for yourselves and recognize that summer is already near. In the same way, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near. I assure you: This generation will certainly not pass away until all things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away. (Luke 21:25-33)

In the Book of Luke, chapter 21, he records the words of Jesus about the signs of the end of the age, and the Great Tribulation. Two items are linked together – the “nations bewildered by the roaring sea and waves” and the last generation. 

What causes the roaring sea and waves? Has such a thing happened before in Earth’s history?? All evidence proves these extinction level events happen in cycles:

Death from Above: Mass Extinctions Tied to Comet Strikes / Space.com, November 3, 2015

Many of Earth’s mass extinctions over the eons have been caused by comet strikes, a new study suggests.

Over the past 260 million years, cratering rates on Earth have peaked every 26 million years or so, in tune with a previously noted cycle of mass-extinction events, researchers found. Furthermore, five of the six largest impact craters known from the last quarter-billion years — including the 112-mile-wide (180 kilometers) crater associated with the demise of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago — were gouged out at roughly the same time that a mass extinction occurred.

“The correlation between the formation of these impacts and extinction events over the past 260 million years is striking and suggests a cause-and-effect relationship,” study lead author Michael Rampino, a geologist at New York University, said in a statement. “This cosmic cycle of death and destruction has without a doubt affected the history of life on our planet.”

The finding, which was published online last month in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, lends support to the venerable but much-debated “death from above” hypothesis set forth to explain the periodicity observed in Earth’s mass extinctions.

Every 26 million years or so, the idea goes, our solar system travels through the Milky Way galaxy’s dense midplane, and the resulting gravitational jostles send comets that normally reside in the distant Oort Cloud barreling toward Earth and other planets close to the sun.

Much of the gravitational perturbation, according to this hypothesis, is caused by mysterious dark matter, which far outweighs “normal” matter but neither emits nor absorbs light and is therefore difficult to study. And dark matter may further contribute to mass extinctions, Rampino suggested in a controversial study published earlier this year, by heating up Earth from the inside, leading to huge, climate-altering volcanic eruptions.

While Rampino and Caldeira identified 10 mass extinctions in the last 260 million years, some other metrics recognize just five such events in the past 450 million years or so. (It depends on how high above background rates an extinction event must be to qualify as “mass.”)

The worst of these “Big Five” events occurred about 250 million years ago, at the end of the Permian geologic period. During this event, known as “The Great Dying,” about 90 percent of Earth’s species was lost. For comparison, scientists estimate that the dino-killing event 65 million years ago took out 50 to 75 percent of all species.

The 3,600 Year Doom Cycle

A massive amount of evidence shows that every 3,600 years or so, the Earth experiences a doomsday similar to the 26 million year cycle. The last cycle was around 1600 BC, so we are overdue for the next one now.

Every 3,600 years, the Earth is plagued by comet strikes, megaquakes and tsunamis, solar flares, and volcanoes, that can cause an ice age.

We will examine the last 6 cycles – 3,600 years ago, 7,200 years ago, 10,800 years ago, 14,400 years ago, 18,000 years ago, and 19,600 years ago.

3,600 Years Ago (1,600 BC) Events:

Sodom and Gomorrah? Evidence That a Cosmic Impact Destroyed a Biblical City in the Jordan Valley / SciTechDaily, September 20, 2021

In the Middle Bronze Age (about 3,600 years ago or roughly 1650 BCE), the city of Tall el-Hammam was ascendant. Located on high ground in the southern Jordan Valley, northeast of the Dead Sea, the settlement in its time had become the largest continuously occupied Bronze Age city in the southern Levant, having hosted early civilization for a few thousand years. At that time, it was 10 times larger than Jerusalem and 5 times larger than Jericho.

Earthquakes, El Ninos Fatal To Earliest Civilization In Americas / University of Florida, January 20, 2009

ScienceDaily (Jan. 20, 2009) — First came the earthquakes, then the torrential rains. But the relentless march of sand across once fertile fields and bays, a process set in motion by the quakes and flooding, is probably what did in America’s earliest civilization.

So concludes a group of anthropologists in a new assessment of the demise of the coastal Peruvian people who built the earliest, largest structures in North or South America before disappearing in the space of a few generations more than 3,600 years ago.

“This maritime farming community had been successful for over 2,000 years, they had no incentive to change, and then all of a sudden, ‘boom,’” said Mike Moseley, a distinguished professor of anthropology at the University of Florida. “They just got the props knocked out from under them.”

Mammoth’s last stand / Nature Climate Change, April 17, 2008

The extinction of the woolly mammoth some 3,600 years ago was driven by the disappearance of its icy habitat combined with the emergence of human hunters, scientists have confirmed. The relative importance of climate and hunting for the mammoth’s fate has long been debated but rarely assessed quantitatively.

Ancient desertification of Sahara called abrupt, ruinous / Deseret News, July 16, 1999

WASHINGTON (AP) — The rains stopped coming, the temperature rose and the great grasslands of North Africa turned to desert a few thousand years ago — changes that may have helped spur development of civilization in the Nile Valley.

The change to today’s arid climate was not gradual, but occurred in two episodes — the first 6,700 to 5,500 years ago and the second 4,000 to 3,600 years ago, according to a paper published Thursday by the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

“The latter was very severe, ruining ancient civilizations and socio-economic systems,” the researchers wrote.

A team of researchers headed by Martin Claussen of Germany’s Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research analyzed computer models of climate over the past several thousand years.

They concluded that the change to today’s desert climate in the Sahara was triggered by changes in the Earth’s orbit and the tilt of Earth’s axis.

Santorini eruption much larger than originally believed / University of Rhode Island, August 23, 2006

KINGSTON, R.I. – August 23, 2006 – An international team of scientists has found that the second largest volcanic eruption in human history, the massive Bronze Age eruption of Thera in Greece, was much larger and more widespread than previously believed.

During research expeditions in April and June, the scientists from the University of Rhode Island and the Hellenic Center for Marine Research found deposits of volcanic pumice and ash 10 to 80 meters thick extending out 20 to 30 kilometers in all directions from the Greek island of Santorini.

“These deposits have changed our thinking about the total volume of erupted material from the Minoan eruption,” said URI volcanologist Haraldur Sigurdsson.

In 1991 Sigurdsson and his URI colleague Steven Carey had estimated that 39 cubic kilometers of magma and rock had erupted from the volcano around 1600 B.C., based on fallout they observed on land. The new evidence of the marine deposits resulted in an upward adjustment in their estimate to about 60 cubic kilometers. (The eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia in 1815 is the largest known volcanic eruption, with approximately 100 cubic kilometers of material ejected.)

An eruption of this size likely had far-reaching impacts on the environment and civilizations in the region. The much-smaller Krakatau eruption of 1883 in Indonesia created a 100-foot-high tsunami that killed 36,000 people, as well as pyroclastic flows that traveled 40 kilometers across the surface of the seas killing 1,000 people on nearby islands. The Thera eruption would likely have generated an even larger tsunami and pyroclastic flows that traveled much farther over the surface of the sea.

“Given what we know about Krakatau, the effects of the Thera eruption would have been quite dramatic,” said Carey, a co-leader of this year’s expeditions. “The area affected would have been very widespread, with much greater impacts on the people living there than we had considered before.”

Irish tree rings, Santorini and volcanic dust veils / Nature, March 24, 1988

There has recently been renewed interest in the dating of the violent eruption of the Aegean island of Santorini in the second millennium BC, both by its possible effects on tree-ring growth in the United States1 (suggesting a date of 1628–1626 BC), and by acidity peaks in ice cores from South Greenland2 (suggesting 1645 BC). We now show that oak trees growing on bogs in Northern Ireland produce significant concentrations of extremely narrow rings within a few periods less than 20 years long and that these periods correspond to the dates suggested by other methods for major volcanic eruptions. In particular, one of them, corresponding to a short period beginning in 1628 BC, was probably caused by Santorini. This date is qualitatively better than those derived from carbon-14 or ice cores, because it is based on an absolute tree-ring chronology.

7,200 Years Ago (c. 5175 BC) – Climate Shifts and Early Civilizations

Around 7,200 years ago, Earth experienced a period of significant climate change and cultural evolution:

Severe Droughts: A major global drought affected regions such as the Middle East and North Africa, causing food shortages and human migrations.
Neolithic Revolution: The first permanent human settlements, such as ʿAin Ghazal in Jordan, appeared, marking a transition from hunter-gatherer lifestyles to agriculture.
First Recorded Solar Storm (Miyake Event): An extreme cosmic ray event left imprints in tree rings, indicating a strong solar storm.
Emergence of Early Megalithic Cultures: This period saw the construction of Neolithic monuments, including sites like Göbekli Tepe and the first Maltese temples.
This era represents a shift toward human societal organization, urbanization, and interaction with changing climates.

.

10,800 Years Ago (c. 8,775 BCE) – The Younger Dryas Impact and Climate Cooling

Around 10,800 years ago, Earth underwent a sudden climate shift, possibly due to an impact event:

The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis suggests that a fragmented comet or asteroid struck North America, causing widespread wildfires and cooling.
This impact triggered a cold period lasting about 1,300 years, reducing global temperatures by as much as 15°C in Greenland.
Many large mammals, such as mammoths and saber-toothed cats, became extinct.
The Natufian culture in the Levant abandoned agriculture due to environmental stress, leading to a return to nomadic lifestyles.
Göbekli Tepe, a massive ritual site in modern Turkey, was being constructed, possibly in response to the changing environment.
This period was pivotal for human civilization, shaping the transition from hunter-gatherer societies to the first settled cultures.

.

14,400 Years Ago (c. 12,375 BC) – Antarctic Cold Reversal and Early Human Expansions

During this period, climate fluctuations continued as the Antarctic Cold Reversal temporarily halted the planet’s warming trend:

A 1,700-Year Cooling Period: Earth entered another cold phase, delaying the end of the Ice Age.
Human Expansion into South America: Early humans, crossing Beringia, continued moving southward, reaching Patagonia.
Early Bread-Making in Jordan: Archaeological evidence from Shubayqa 1 in Jordan suggests humans were making bread-like foods before the agricultural revolution.
Solar Storm Activity: A solar event 14,300 years ago left traces in tree rings, indicating an extremely powerful solar storm.
This period highlights the climatic and technological advances that shaped early human societies.

.

18,000 Years Ago (c. 16,975 BC) – Last Glacial Maximum Ends

By 18,000 years ago, the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was ending, bringing major changes:

Global Ice Sheets Retreated: Ice that covered North America, Europe, and Asia began melting.
Sea Levels Rose by Over 120 Meters: Ocean levels increased as glacial meltwater returned to the seas.
Human Migration Boomed: The opening of new habitable lands allowed human populations to expand across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
CO₂ Levels Increased: This period saw a gradual rise in atmospheric CO₂, warming the planet.
Early Settlements in North America: Human activity in Clovis, New Mexico, suggests early communities hunted megafauna.
This transition ended the Ice Age, allowing humans to spread across continents.

.

19,600 Years Ago (c. 17,575 BC) – Ice Age Conditions Persist

Earth was still experiencing the Last Glacial Maximum, with:

Expansive Ice Coverage across North America and Europe.
Cold and Dry Conditions dominating global climates.
Low CO₂ Concentrations contributing to cooler temperatures.
Human Populations Confined to Refuge Areas, awaiting warmer conditions to expand.
This period represents the peak of Ice Age conditions, shortly before global warming resumed.

.

Conclusion
Tracking Earth Science events in 3,600-year intervals reveals a cyclical nature of climate shifts, geological processes, and human adaptations. From volcanic cataclysms to glacial retreats, these events have continuously shaped our planet and influenced human evolution. Understanding these cycles helps us prepare for future changes and recognize patterns in Earth’s ongoing transformations.

To summarize, the evidence shows that the Earth is plagued every 3,600 years by comet strikes, tsunamis, and volcanoes, that cause an ice age.

We are due a repeat performance around now. Indeed, the American Meteor Society’s records of observed fireballs worldwide over the past 13 years suggest that the ‘show’ might actually have already begun.

In light of the evidence, what do we have to look forward to in the near future?

Comet Strikes

Then I saw Him open the sixth seal. A violent earthquake occurred; the sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair; the entire moon became like blood; the stars of heaven fell to the earth as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a high wind; the sky separated like a scroll being rolled up; and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the military commanders, the rich, the powerful, and every slave and free person hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

And they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, because the great day of Their wrath has come! And who is able to stand?” (Revelation 6:12-17)

As the second half of the 7 years of Tribulation progresses, the wrath of God is fully unleashed upon the earth. The first three Trumpet judgments are clearly from “falling stars”:

The first angel blew his trumpet, and hail and fire, mixed with blood, were hurled to the earth. So a third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain ablaze with fire was hurled into the sea. So a third of the sea became blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from heaven. It fell on a third of the rivers and springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood, and a third of the waters became wormwood. So, many of the people died from the waters, because they had been made bitter. (Revelation 8:7-11)

As the 7 year Tribulation reaches the end, the judgments become so severe that the “Great Dying” reaches the climax. These are the Bowl Judgments, that end with the destruction of Babylon the Great:

Then the seventh poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the sanctuary from the throne, saying, “It is done!” There were flashes of lightning and rumblings of thunder. And a severe earthquake occurred like no other since man has been on the earth—so great was the quake. The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s presence; He gave her the cup filled with the wine of His fierce anger. Every island fled, and the mountains disappeared. Enormous hailstones, each weighing about 100 pounds, fell from the sky on people, and they blasphemed God for the plague of hail because that plague was extremely severe. (Revelation 16:17-21)

Megaquakes

Now on that day, the day when Gog comes against the land of Israel”—this is the declaration of the Lord God—“My wrath will flare up. I swear in My zeal and fiery rage: On that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, every creature that crawls on the ground, and every human being on the face of the earth will tremble before Me. The mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground. (Ezekiel 38:17-20)

“As for you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say: This is what the Lord God says: Look, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. I will turn you around, drive you on, and lead you up from the remotest parts of the north. I will bring you against the mountains of Israel. Then I will knock your bow from your left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand. You, all your troops, and the peoples who are with you will fall on the mountains of Israel. (Ezekiel 39:1-4)

One of the critical signs are pointing to the imminent Rapture of the Church is the invasion of Israel. This invasion was foretold in Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38. There will be an escalation between Iran and Israel, that will reach the point of no return. One of the major turning points in the battle will be a megaquake that causes the invading armies to “fall on the mountains of Israel.”

Megathrust earthquake are the world’s largest earthquakes. The last Cascadia earthquake is estimated at magnitude 9. A megathrust earthquake in Chile in 1960 was magnitude 9.5, and one in Alaska in 1964 was magnitude 9.2. The 2011 tsunami that devastated Japan was caused by a magnitude 9.0–9.1 undersea megathrust earthquake.

Could there be an earthquake that shakes “every human being on the face of the earth”?

Magnitude 10 temblor could happen: study / The Japan Times, December 15, 2012

It is theoretically possible that the world could see a quake with a magnitude of around 10, a researcher at Tohoku University told the government’s Coordinating Committee for Earthquake Prediction, Japan.

The energy of such an earthquake would be 30 times greater than the magnitude 9.0 quake that hit the northeast on March 11, 2011.

No magnitude 10 earthquake has ever been observed. The most powerful quake ever recorded was a magnitude 9.5 temblor in Chile in 1960.

A magnitude 10 quake would likely cause ground motions for up to an hour, with tsunami hitting while the shaking was still going on, according to the research.

Volcanoes

For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. (1 Thessalonians 5:2-3)

The “birth pains” of the world are building and converging towards an unprecedented climax. There is an upcoming “delivery date” for the Rapture, known only to the Lord.

What is the primary cause of the 3,600 year cycle of doom?

From ancient Sumerian texts, there was a description that visitors came from a yet discovered planet that periodically enters our Solar System. Intriguingly, mainstream science has made an astounding discovery which may indicate that Nibiru is real.

The research was published by the California Institute of Technology in January of 2016. While the so-called “Ninth Planet” has not been directly observed, there is mathematical evidence for its existence. The model in question would answer a number of other mysteries if indeed a ninth planet is in orbit around the sun.

The studies were conducted using computer simulations and mathematical modeling by Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin. As Brown explains, “There have only been two true planets discovered since ancient times, and this would be a third.”

Planet 9 may have already been found, study suggests / Fox News, November 11, 2019

• Six known objects in the Kuiper Belt, all of which have elliptical orbits that point in the same direction.
• The orbits of the objects are all tilted the same way; 30 degrees “downward.”
• Computer simulations that show there are more objects “tilted with respect to the solar plane.”
• Planet Nine could be responsible for the tilt of the planets in our solar system; the plane of the planet’s orbit is tilted about 6 degrees compared to the Sun’s equator.
• Some objects from the Kuiper Belt orbit in the opposite direction from everything else in the solar system.

.

After the Rapture, the Lord removes His divine protection over the Earth. His protection has safeguarded us from the very worst of calamities. Without His protection, the Cosmos takes it’s natural course.

Unfortunately for the World, after the Day of Christ (the rescue of the Saved) comes the Day of the Lord (the judgement of the Lost):

Woe to you who long for the Day of the Lord!
What will the Day of the Lord be for you?
It will be darkness and not light.
It will be like a man who flees from a lion
only to have a bear confront him.
He goes home and rests his hand against the wall
only to have a snake bite him.
Won’t the Day of the Lord
be darkness rather than light,
even gloom without any brightness in it? (Amos 5:18-20)

Very shortly, the entire unsaved world will have to go through their own version of “the Great Dying“:

I will completely sweep away everything
from the face of the earth—
this is the Lord’s declaration.
I will sweep away man and animal;
I will sweep away the birds of the sky
and the fish of the sea,
and the ruins along with the wicked.
I will cut off mankind
from the face of the earth.
This is the Lord’s declaration. (Zephaniah 1:2-3)

“Be on your guard, so that your minds are not dulled from carousing, drunkenness, and worries of life, or that day will come on you unexpectedly like a trap. For it will come on all who live on the face of the whole earth. But be alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:34-36)

If you are not sure that you are saved, you can accept Christ into your life right now, by praying:

“Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins.  Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life.  I ask you into my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior.”
