2012 – It’s The End Of The World… As We Know It
Jeff Douglas In Front Of The Mayan Ruins
There are many reasons to think that 2012 could be the last year for our world. Iran is getting closer to becoming a nuclear power. North Korea is more unstable than ever. The European debt crisis is not going away, nor is America’s. Larger and more devastating natural disasters seem to be increasing and medical experts agree we’re due for a major pandemic.
On top of all this, many assert that there are ancient predictions, based on a Mayan Calendar, that Dec. 21st, 2012 is the end of the world. These predictions are often backed-up by claims of disastrous solar flares, weakening magnetic poles, a rogue planet on a collision course with earth and other world-altering events.
So am I saying that 2012 marks the last year for planet earth? No. But as the R.E.M. song says: “It’s the end of the world as you know it.” The key part being: “as you know it.”
I recently completed a documentary called 2012: PROPHECY OR PANIC? It looks at the ancient Mayan Calendar and claims that it predicts the end of the world on Dec. 21st, 2012. Along with it we examined other related claims about the possible end of the world. And while none of it convinced me that this year’s winter solstice will see the end of everything, the research did point to some world-changing events coming very soon.
Dr. Joe Van Koevering, host of “God’s News Behind the News” says that “We really are on a collision course toward destiny causing people to stop and think about wow this could really happen in my lifetime, the end could come in my lifetime.”
Gary Kah (author of “The New World Religion”) warns that “we’ve been told in scripture that when we see certain signs of the times we know that we’re getting closer and closer and I believe we’re coming into that time.”
And Jack Kinsella (“The Omega Letter”) notes that incredibly “Today, everything is in place. For the first time in recorded human history everything that the Bible prophesied for the last days is not only possible, but trending in the Bible’s direction… wars, rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, signs in the sun, the distress of nations with perplexity, a centralized global economy, even the predicted political alliances; everything is in place.”
While there are many sources predicting something about the future (Nostradamus, Harold Camping, the Chinese I Ching, etc.) only one has a proven track record of being 100% accurate: the Bible. So while Bible Prophecy experts like Mark Hitchcock, Donald Perkins, Grant R. Jeffrey and others are fascinated by how world events are lining-up with biblical prophecies – including increasing interest in the 2012 phenomenon – they know that the world can’t end in 2012 because it doesn’t line-up with scriptures. However, they do all note that an event called the Rapture, where Christ returns to take all of the believers off the face of the planet home to heaven – could be right around the corner.
Certainly sounds better than “Planet X” crashing into us to me!

I was involved in a conversation with our local library-helper… she was in South America and when asked about the “end of the world” as indicated by the Mayan calendar, they answered, “That’s stupid! Our calendar is a circle; Circles don’t end!”

Well the bible says that nobody knows when Jesus is coming back. Not even Jesus knows, only God the father knows. So anything that is predicted isn’t going to be the end, as proven over the decades… The point is simply to be ready and be watchman/woman and actively be an advocate of Christ and righteousness in the world and remember him in what you do and who you talk to.

No the mayans are wrong because we know that Marty McFly went to the year in 2015 in Back to the Future II

Jesus said our world is a world with out end… “Time” as we know it will one day come to a close, but the world it self is with out end

Far to many unfulfilled prophecies to get them all in one year,next could be war against israel by surrounding nations who are busy forming the psalm 83 confederacy,then peace and prosperity for israel after its victory.ezekiels Magog invasion also needs time to come against israel and be destroyed on the mountains of israel and thats before antichrist has his go after that.So enjoy the year ahead and “Occupy till He comes”

The Mayans died out 2,000 years ago. Who would believe someone who died 2,000 years ago?

I trust the word of God. What happend if only there was no more space on the rock to write and that is the reason why the Mayans could not write Any more dates or maybe is related to the mayans Tribe and not the rest of the world, who knows. Since I remember man is always finding a reason to end the world. The Lord Jesus said that even Him did not know the date nor time our Father is going to do what He is going to do to the world. So live your life as full as you can be and be good to others because you don’t know when is going to be your last day in this earth.

It is truly amazing how rumors get started about the end of the world and what not. The Bible says that No one knows the day or the hour. Only the Father knows. I’ve learned that the only reason why the Mayan calander has stopped on that particular date was beacuse they were all wiped out before they could finish making the rest of the calender.

I always put my faith in the word of God. Man is placing his faith in what man himself wrote. The word of God was written by mans hand but was given by God.
