A self-styled 'new Nostradamus' has shared a very bleak prediction about the future of humanity.
Lofty predictions about the end of the world aren't uncommon *cough 2012 cough* and with geopolitical conflicts simmering all around the world, declaring that the end is nigh doesn't sound like something too outlandish.
In fact, there's no shortage of doomsday prophecies floating around on the internet at any given time, pretty scary (or ridiculous, depending on whether or not you believe in them).
The latest person to make claims about an impending apocalypse is Indian astrologer Kushal Kumar, who makes his predictions using a traditional Hindu system of astrology.

Called Vedic astrology, the system believes that celestial bodies, stars and planets influence events in our lives.
It's through using this system that Kumar has made his prediction for the end of the world, claiming that WWIII is just a couple of days away.
"NOW, Tuesday, 18 June 2024 has the strongest planetary stimulus to trigger WW3. although 10 and 29 June may have a say as well," he said in an interview with The Daily Star.

He cited recent events such as escalations between Israel and Lebanon, terror attacks in Pakistan and North Korean soldiers crossing the demarcation line as indictors that his prediction is coming true.
He added: "It may be observed here that predictive alert for better care and appropriate strategy involves careful and serious interpretation of planetary impacts while unintended human error or slip cannot be ruled out entirely.
"So, watch the developing war scenario in hotspots across the globe as days pass by."
This isn't the first time Kumar has made headlines with his predictions, with the astrologer previously claiming success in foreseeing the escalation in tensions of several conflicts across the world.

Kumar previously outlined a series of bleak predictions for 2024 in a post on Medium back in May following the death of former Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash on 19 May.
"2024 was predicted to be majorly worrisome in relation to war conditions in hotspots across the world," he wrote.
"Particularly around May 8 – it was indicated carrying highest escalation in such war fronts as Koreas, China-Taiwan, the Middle East involving Israel and others in the Middle East, and Ukraine-Russia, anger of NATO could also find expression."

Regardless of what happens, it won't be much longer until we find out.
