Summary:
Throughout our present decade, both the media and the general public—not to mention various fanatical religious factions—have been concerning themselves increasingly with the imminent end of the millennium and its possible implications for mankind. Kenneth Rayner Johnson predated them by 20 years with the publication in 1975 of The Zarkon Principle, his best-selling premonition of apocalypse in the year 2000AD. Now, with just four short years left on the clock, Johnson has returned with Armageddon 2000, an updated version of his earlier work in which he not only demonstrates how many of his previous theories and predictions have already come true, but also how his research in the intervening decades has led him even more forcefully to one conclusion: the world as we know it is about to end. To reach this conclusion Johnson has re-interpreted the scriptures of many religions, and the histories and writings of Alchemy, Freemasonry, Magick, Theosophy and other arcane disciplines; he has examined such ancient and enigmatic structures as the Pyramids and Stonehenge; delved into the secret lives of Jesus, Mohammed, Aleister Crowley and Adolf Hitler; and researched phenomena such as UFOs and alien abductions. He has correlated all this information with the most recent findings of astrophysicists, theoretical physicists, meteorologists and ecologists, and posed a grim question: how long does mankind have left.
