Here's a few..

A Close Encounter with Asteroid ErosIts next close approach to Earth will come in January 2012,
good "catch-up" opportunity is just around the corner. Solar Cycle 24 is beginning and it is expected to reach maximum between 2010 and 2012. During that time, there will be an abundance of solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) for astronomers to study.

The Pharisees and Saducees came to Jesus and tested Him by asking Him to show them a sign from heaven. He replied, "When evening comes you say 'It will be fair weather for the sky is red,' and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the signs of the sky but cannot interpret the signs of the times." (Matt 16:1-3).

I clicked on the first link and there is no reference whatsoever to what you quote there.
It's about launching a telescope in 2012 and has no reference whatsoever to "close encounters".. it's about measuring solar flares.
The second article:
""NASA astronauts are scheduled to return to the Moon around 2020," notes Robert Lin, a solar physicist at UC Berkeley. "We've got only one solar maximum left to learn what we need to know" to protect those crews.
Lin recently chaired a team commissioned by NASA in 2004 to study a "Solar Sentinels" mission that would help scientists learn to predict solar storms in time to warn astronauts. "
Your articles have absolutely no relevance to your assertion.
Honestly, your questions and arguments just get more unintelligble every time you post.

What credible site are you referring to for God? The first paragraph explains how celestial objects affect each other. The second relates observed phenomena, such as changes in the color of the sky prior to certain weather conditions, without understanding how they are related. Scientists know why and if an asteroid will affect solar emissions. People in Jesus's time didn't know why a pink sky at night meant good weather the next day.

There are 11 year cycles to Solar flares. Big deal, we just went through one. And that asteroid is going to miss. We could probably move it out of the path if it weren't. And the predicted end is 11 months after that anyhow.

Sorry what are you posting? I don't understand. All I am getting is that you read a book and are now attempting to prove something in that book. Yes, often times as the sun sets it does look like there is a red sky. Congratulations.

First one: So what? These events happen fairly regularly on the cosmological time scale.
Second one: So what? Jesus knew a well known and easily observed meteorological fact that was described hundreds of years before his birth... even the Egyptians knew that.

What does a regular astronomical event have to do with an old story about a wise man telling people they are off base in their question?

If you bothered at all to research close encounters (called that because it won't hit the earth) you'd know its not the first time this has happened. Where was Jesus then?

You should get a sign and go stand on the street corner. Or don't you 'end of the world' people do that anymore?
