The Coming Armageddon of 2012

By: Dan Donaldson.

Many people believe in the prophecies of Armageddon in 2012. A great deal of this belief is based on the Mayan calendar, since it will be ending that year. There are lots of predictions that have been made based on this.

The Mayan calendar marks the end of the cycle on December 21. It is called a baktun, and it marks the ending of a major cycle. A few people claim that this will be the end of the world, while numerous others declare it starts a new celestial cycle. In truth, the Mayans left this calendar unfinished in that much of the data that should have been included was in no way finished. Scholars examining this culture say it is merely an crucial event that was noted by the Mayans themselves while making no proclamation of the world coming to an end.

You will also see news stories where Nostradamus, the renowned predictor from France, also alleges the world is terminating at this time. In truth, he states in his own writings that the quatrains are valid only until 3797. Even more, there is no indication of the world terminating, and no where in any of the quatrains did he include the year 2012.

There are a few strange prophecies regarding events in 2012, such as an alien invasion or even a planet hitting the earth. While you cannot certainly say that there are no aliens with all of the stars and planets in our universe, the odds of that occurring seem to be very slim. The planet conjecture is not going to happen at all, since there are no planets in the solar system that are on a collision course with Earth; nor have any broken free from their orbit.

The probable case of the ending of the world would be from a natural calamity. A volcano erupting and solar flares are the most probable. Even then, the indicators would scientifically be there to back these predictions up, and there is no magma pooling according to the scientists, and no evidence has occurred that a life terminating solar flare has ever happened. Ecological ruin may happen, but we are lots of years from that becoming a reality on the scale of a great loss of life.

Predictions of Armageddon in 2012 are very similar to the Y2K scare. The likelihood are stacked so great, that once the date has passed, we will look back and find humor in this scare, too.

This is another of the Beatitudes that has been grossly perverted by the enemies of the Lord, enemies who have, like their predecessors the Pharisees, posed as the champions of the truth and boasted of a sanctity superior to that which the true people of God would dare to claim. All through this Christian era, also, there have been poor, deluded souls who have claimed an entire purification of the old man.

  • Whose Fault is Original Sin? By: Scott F Paradis - Imagine living in a magnificently beautiful setting, warm and comfortable surrounded by great bounty — life is good, you might say grand. Existence is always and forever in the bliss of now. No yearning for yesterday, no anxiety about tomorrow, no concern today. What is, is. For the ego however, everything is not even close to enough. The ego has an insatiable desire for more - more power, mastery, dominion. The ego seeks it all, for itself. The ego does not realize it is inseparable from others, inseparable from what is, inseparable from the divine.
