The World is Ending in 2012. What are your plans?

So, as you may or may not know, the world is going to come to an end on 21 December 2012. It's a fact people. Nostradamus says so, as does the Mayan calender. Some say the anti-christ will emerge as a charismatic leader loved by all.he will unite the world in peace and do great things. But wait, he's the freaking anti-christ, its a trap! His plan? recruit soldiers for his army in the great final battle between good and evil aka, Armageddon. Some claim the Apocalypse will do us in. Apocalypse, translated from the Greek word Apokalupsis is translated as "revelation" in the book of Revelation meaning "lifting of the veil" the book tells of terrible judgements leading up to the end of Man's rule on Earth. There are actually many other predictions pointing towards 2012, including solar flares, galactic alignments, and even one about aliens. However we can stop there and go on with the story.

So According to the book of revelation the apostle John receives a vision direct from the one and only, the big cheese himself, Jesus Christ. He learns that God will cast fearful judgements on to earth,as a last chance for people to repent and put their trust in God for salvation before the end of the world. These things are terrible by the way. They sound harmless with names like The Seven Trumpets. Look that one up if you have some time. To sum it up, there are 6 angels who each sound a trumpet one at a time that each cause different events to happen. The 5th angel sounds his trumpet and locusts and scorpions appear, and the scorpions are instructed to torment man for 5 months, but they should not killthem. Men shall seek death, and shall not find it, states the passage. All in All, its a bad time to be a human person.

So finally, after all the trials and tribulations, God has poured his judgement on to the earth! Introducing prophecy: The judgement seat of God, from the book of Apocalypse (or Revelation). You'll never guess where this judgement day prophecy comes from. Give up? The Bible. Book of Revelation, chapter 20 verse 12. Revelation 20:12! 2012!. Judgement day would look something like this:

Revelation 20:12​

"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."

Revelation 20:13-15​

"(13) And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. (14) And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (15) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

OK, OK enough is enough. If your still reading this I'm amazed you battled through it and I thank you, because it wasn't the easiest thing to write.

Now then, you ask what the hell was this all about anyway?​

Question: The world is comming to an end on 21 December 2012. What are you going to do?

8(8(End of the world party!​

if we have to die, or spend eternity in hell shouldn't we have one last party?

 

The Mayans used a base-20 number system for keeping track of time. December 21, 2012 just marks the end of the Mayan equivalent of a century. The Mayan calender does not end in 2012.

theres 4 calendar systems, the long count is the last one which covers more than 5,000 years. That calendar does not end on 21 december 2012, however it is still a significant date.. ill explain. Little bit about the calendars first.

Tzolkin: combines 20 day-names and 13 numbers which line up in 260 unique ways, (260 days) . It has various possible religious, geography and astronomy ties signifying cycles of life, such as how the sun passes through zenith twice a year, and there are 260 days between passages.

Haab: 20 day-names and 18 numbers allowing for 360 unique days, 5 where added on later to better coincide with the solar cycle. they used this one for agricultural purposes, marking seasons for example

Calendar Round: a combination of the former 2, and cycled 52 years. At the completion of one of these cycles, times were troubled as it was believed the God's took off during this cycle change leaving the earth unprotected.

The long count calender: This calendar spans over 5,000 years. It's kind of confusing, but in as plain English as possible, 20 days = 1 winal. 18 winals = 1 tun, 20 tuns = 1 k'atun, 20 k'atuns = 1 b'ak'tun. So given the info above with the combination possibilities known about the first 3 calenders its mind boggling to think they came up with this system to record 5000+ years of information.

So back to 2012. Your right, its not the end of the long count. It is the turning of a new ba'ak'tun though, the mark of a cycle coming to an end. Also this date aligns with the winter solstice, the sun crossing the galactic center (equator of the milky way) AND the transit of venus. The probability of this happening, these 3 very rare astronomical events all occurring at the same time or very very close together is like thousands of years of rolling the dice. Not a coincidence. They knew enough about how the skies worked that they were able to make the observations, keep the records, and predict the time that these would occur.

So, no end of the world based on the Mayan calendar most likely. I got plenty of others though, so guess what.
