Bizarre Apocalyptic Scenario Claims
“That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of
wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and
thick darkness.” Zephaniah 1:15
(The Israel
Bible™)
A bizarre
apocalyptic scenario that originated decades ago is being raised again by
autistic religious Jews in Israel who reportedly communicate spiritual messages
through facilitated communication. Every aspect of this story is shrouded in
controversy.
The
Original Theory of Nibiru
Zechariah
Sitchin (1920-2010) was a Russian-born Jewish scientist and author who
suggested that there is a planet beyond Pluto called Nibiru (sometimes referred
to as Planet X) which passes through our solar system every 3,600 years.
Approximately
50 years ago, Sitchin determined that Nibiru was about 50 years away from
coming close again. According to the theory, its anticipated reappearance is
expected to result in extensive damage to Earth’s land masses and death to
millions.
This kind of dramatic End of Days event could be seen as the fulfillment of these dark verses from the first chapter of Zephaniah: 15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, 16 A day of the horn and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high towers. 17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD; and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung. 18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’S wrath; but the whole earth shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy; for He will make an end, yea, a terrible end, of all them that dwell in the earth.

Sitchin’s
books have sold millions of copies and have been translated into more than 20
languages.
In his best-selling book, called The Twelfth Planet, first published in 1991, Sitchin introduced the theory of Nibiru. His ideas are exceedingly controversial among scientists and academics who claim that his work is based on flawed reasoning, mistranslations and inaccurate assertions.

In an
article on the NASA website titled Beyond 2012: Why the
World Didn’t End, NASA scientists respond to a question about
Nibiru, calling it “an Internet hoax”.
Their full comment is, “Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist.”

Facilitated
Communication Controversy
The
theory of a celestial body called Nibiru headed toward Earth recently
reappeared in the communications of three Orthodox Jewish men in Jerusalem.
Daniel, Binyamin and Menachem are autistic and cannot communicate through
normal means. They rely on a controversial technique, known as facilitated
communication, in which the autistic person is given an alphabet board or a
computer keyboard to spell out words.
Facilitated communication has been in use since at least 1985 as a way of communicating with those who cannot speak normally. Proponents of the technique claim that people with debilitating autism or severe mental retardation actually can communicate if given physical support to type on an alphabet board or keyboard.

The
Autism National Committee, an autism advocacy organization, has a policy approving
of facilitated communication, which reads, “Facilitated
Communication is one accepted and valid way in which individuals with autism
can exercise their right to say what they have to say.”
Opponents
of facilitated communication claim that the facilitator is actually the one
doing the communicating.
In an article published in 2003, the American
Psychological Association concluded,
“The short version of this long story is
that study after study showed that facilitated communication didn’t really
work. Apparently, the positive results that had generated so much enthusiasm
were the results of a subtle process in which well-intended facilitators were
answering questions themselves – without any awareness that they were doing
so.”
Talk
About Nibiru Reemerges in Jerusalem
In the
last few days of December 2015, Menachem, Daniel and Binyamin all spoke,
through facilitated communication, about Nibiru. Together, they paint a picture
of apocalyptic devastation from which only the Land of Israel remains
unscathed.
On December 23, 2015, a facilitated communication session was recorded with Menachem in Jerusalem. During that session, Menachem spoke about Nibiru and introduced the idea that world leaders are preparing for the inevitable doomsday collision by preparing elaborate bunkers.

Menachem
said:
“They’re
following this thing, but not reporting on it. They went silent on the subject,
they didn’t speak of it further, only preparing, they started digging, to make
bunkers. It’s a fact. And now there are bunkers also in Israel, there’s one
very large bunker for the ‘important people’ of the state, who will leave the
rest of us outside – and they’ll be inside. I’ll tell you a secret: if it will
be this way – then woe to those who are inside… and the people who are outside,
those who have trust in Hashem (God)
– they’ll be saved. And another interesting thing I’ll tell you, that they made
calculations and measurements, and where is the most, most safe place in the
world with regard to this whole event?… They reached the conclusion that it’s
Jerusalem, ‘the safest place is Eretz
Yisrael (the
Land of Israel) – and mainly Jerusalem.’”
On
December 27, 2015, a facilitated communication session was recorded with Daniel in
Jerusalem. During that session, Daniel spoke about the devastating effects of
Nibiru:
“The
effects of ‘Nibiru’ will be giant tsunamis with waves 100 meters high,
earthquakes, tornadoes, erupting volcanoes, there will be a hit to nuclear
reactors that will cause radioactive contamination like in Fukushima, Japan.
And there won’t be electricity, and there won’t be clean water, and there won’t
be food – it will be a very difficult situation. We in Eretz
Yisrael will
be like in Noah’s ark.”
Responding
to those who claim everything about Nibiru is a hoax, Daniel said:
“They’re
trying to say that the issue with this star is all nonsense, but it’s not
nonsense. There are those who are saying exactly when they think it will
arrive, it’s also not for certain, but I’m certain that this matter itself is
correct, because it’s written exactly in all kinds of our sources, and every Torah-scholar
can show you…”
On
December 30, 2015, a third facilitated communication session was recorded, this time with
Binyamin in Jerusalem. During that session, Binyamin referred to an impending,
doomsday disaster that “will destroy two-thirds of the world” and suggested
that it is connected to Nibiru, which he called “the matter of the star.”
“And
I say to you: there’s going to be a huge disaster. A
huge disaster, really. Hashem (God)
– He’s the only one Who can destroy the world that He Himself created. It will
be a huge disaster, and this disaster will destroy two-thirds of the world. And
it will leave Eretz-Yisrael (Land
of Israel) complete… Now you want to know how it will happen… I don’t know
exactly, but from all the possibilities I’ve heard, the matter of the star – it
seems to me the most real.”
The claim
of the existence of a Planet Nibiru, whose collision will devastate Earth has
been repeatedly debunked, as recently as February 2014, March, 2014 and July 2015.
