In this fascinating special, HISTORY decodes the ancient prophecy, which actually consists of seven signs within seven signs within seven more signs, and examines whether any of them could be linked to actual or potential occurrences today. What kinds of occurrences? Asteroids, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, red tides, global warming and plagues.

We also explore what would happen if the seven-signs prophecy were to unfold right now. It’s fascinating. It’s scary. It’s riveting. And a word of warning: The prophecy ends with Armageddon, the final battle between good and evil.
