  1. At least you'll go with a bang...


  2. I'm only 15 and when I first heard of these dooms-day events I got a little freaked out as well, but very soon I grew past that.  

    About Planet X.....Lets just say it is real (which it isn't).  Lets say this celestial body in fact does do what they say it does every 3600 years.  Just by looking at the geologic history of Earth, nothing near to the extremes of what Planet X is supposedly capable of doing has happened.  So it either doesn't exist at all, or it is a dramatic exaggeration of what it would actually do.

    The Mayan Calendar:  There are so many misunderstandings of what this calendar means and represents, that I don't even fully know about it.  I choose not to let this calendar dictate the end of the world...Just the idea itself sounds silly.  

    If the year of 2012 did mean the end of the world, which it doesn't...as long as you have been in general a good person, haven't done any horrible crimes or anything like that, then if you happened to die, know that you will be in a good place.  

    To me, the worst thing you can do is worry about it, because it won't happen.  

  3. This is kind of a messed up situation here.  There is no proof that DOOMSDAY will come on that day.  Remember that the last doomsday was supposed to be January 1st 2000 and that never happened.  Also, if something is supposed to happen at that time it's not going to be "all of the sudden."  It will be a gradual degrating of society and although everything will be totally different than it is today, you will be so caught up in the commotion you won't think "are we all gonna die tomorrow?"  Don't worry about it and live for today.  If you are a smart person with good people skills then you will survive.

  4. thats my moms birthday too. :] a lot of peoples birthdays.

  5. dont worry about it!! Scientists dont know for sure anyways!! Just live your life to the fullest and have fun!! Thinking about something like this really makes you think about the important things in life, like telling your family that you love them before its too late! Just have fun and be happy!!

  6. The year 2012 is rumored to be the end of the world.  But do not worry.  Do not be scared.  Do not freak out.  You will still be celebrating your 17th birthday on that day.  I assure you that the world will not end on 2012 December 21 but it will end one day.  Remember that if there is a beginning, there is an end.  

    Nostradamus and the book of Revelation

    Nostradamus’ prophecy of when the world will end is far into the future, past about AD 3700.  This is in agreement with what I heard and learned from the Holy Spirit—that there will only be about 144,000 around AD 2200, peace reigns for a thousand years while the Devil, or Satan, is chained up and locked up in the abyss till around AD 3200 (Revelation 20:1-7), and then Satan will be let loose from his prison to deceive the descendants of the elect for about 500 years (Revelation 20:7-10).  After that, the end will come (Revelation 21:1).

    Mayan calendar

    The Mayan’s Mesoamerican Long Count calendar forms the basis for a New Age belief, first forecast by Jose Arguelles, that a cataclysm will take place on or about 2012 December 21 (Wikipedia).  Mainstream Mayan scholars consider “cataclysm” or “apocalypse” as a misinterpretation for to the Mayan scribes, it literally means uncovering or revealing.

    The Long Count has 360 days in a year called “Tun”.  A “Tun” has 18 months or “unials” and each “unial” has 20 days.  Twenty (20) Tuns is a Katun and 20 Katuns is a Baktun (144,000 days or about 400 solar years).  Thirteen (13) Baktuns is a “Great Cycle” of 1,872,000 days (5,200 Tuns or about 5,125 solar years).  The Great Cycle in the proleptic Gregorian calendar started on 3114 BC August 11 (day 0.0.0.0.0) and ends on 2012 December 21 (day 13.0.0.0.0) – winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.  The Great Cycle restarts the next day (day 0.0.0.0.0).  The representation of the Great Cycle of the Mayan Long Count calendar is as follows: (13 Baktuns.20 Katuns.20 Tuns.18 Uinals.20 days).

    A thousand years of peace

    In Revelation 20:2-7 of the Holy Bible, it tells us about a period of a thousand years of peace. Has this occurred already since the time of Jesus?  Not yet. That will still come. Those that give predictions of the world’s end, such as 2012 and numerous times during the past, are pseudo-preachers. Have they talked to God directly? If so, give proofs.

    Inevitable physical death

    But there is something that will certainly happen—and that is our physical death. This is what we should prepare for. It may come when least expected. We do not know the day and the hour. It will come like a thief in the night. So we just have to be prepared all the time. Search for the true God and when we find Him, follow His commandments and remain in Him until our last dying breath.

    Survival kit – faith in the true God

    This is all that we have to do. It is faith in the true God that we can take with us when we depart from this world. If we denied Him, He will deny us also before the Father in Heaven and send us to h**l. This is very scary – to live in h**l forever.  If we knew Him and loved Him and followed His commandments, then He may reward us to live with Him eternally in His kingdom in Heaven. This is the survival kit that we should have.

    2012 is 20 + 12 = 32, age of Jesus when crucified

    Did you know that in his/her boredom, “Thanks for reading this” theorized in Yahoo Answers, Religion & Spirituality section, that 2012 could be 20 + 12 = 32, the approximate age of Jesus when He was crucified and died?  I answered that he/she is correct in his/her theory.  When Jesus died, He was actually 32 solar years old, equivalent to 33 lunar years.  This is found in the results of a study that I did to check if what the Holy Spirit said regarding the crucifixion of Jesus on August 17 is correct or not.  Details are in http://www.geocities.com/peacecrusader88...  Is this a sign that God is warning us of the impending calamity around 2012, like the end of the Mayan’s calendar cycle?  But I repeat, 2012 is not the end of the world yet.

    The 144,000 marked good people

    The Holy Spirit also told us that beings from another planet will take only the marked good people out of this world.  I asked Him if it’s a million.  He said much less than that.  Then I asked if the number is the one mentioned in Revelation and He affirmed it.  A few weeks ago this year, 2008, as I was reading Revelation, I came across Revelation 14:3 to wit (King James Version):  ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚€ÂœAnd they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.”  ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚€ÂœRedeemed from the earth” means saved from the earth.  And there were 144,000 of them.  This must be what the Holy Spirit was referring to several years ago.  

    Advice of the Holy Spirit

    His advice to all: leave their wicked way of life and change their way of thinking.  We should come back to the true God before it’s too late.  (I read in Isaiah 55:7 this message, to wit (KJV): “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”)  Be good then so that we may be considered to be among the 144,000 who will be saved, and later will restart and repopulate this world.  The Holy Spirit told us to tell people about this prophecy even though they accuse us as being out of our minds, crazy or lunatics.  He assured us that this will happen, similar to Noah’s prophecy of the Great Flood which took a hundred years before it was fulfilled.  The ark was the vessel used to save Noah and his family and the animals.  This time, another kind of vessel will be used to save the elect.

      

    World War III to start at Spratly Islands

    What is also certain to happen very soon (in about 2012 or earlier) is World War III and this is a nuclear war.  This “calamitous war” (as Nostradamus called it) will start from the Philippines, at Spratly Islands in particular.  The Spratly Islands lie on the southeast part of the South China Sea mostly near the coast of the Philippines.  The Holy Spirit told us that the Philippines is the wick of a gas lamp.  Once the wick is lit, it will be on and aglow.  He told us about this prophecy about two decades ago.  He said that the troubles in the Philippines will spread to the whole world until mankind is almost annihilated and a few will remain.  Spratly Islands are being claimed wholly by China, Taiwan and Vietnam; and partly by Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines.  The area is considered a tinderbox, a flash point.  It is very rich in oil and gas resources, estimated to be more than the reserve of Kuwait.  The high price of oil may trigger the grabbing of these islands and start the war.

    Certainty of WW III

    Four independent prophecies point to the certainty that this will happen.  These are Nostradamus’ prophecies to happen around this time (quatrains 6:24 and 2:62) , the 56th Chinese prophecy of Tui Bei Tu (the past 55 prophecies have already been fulfilled) found at http://www.alexchiu.com/philosophy/super... and Wikipedia, Revelation 9:18 of the Holy Bible, and those that the Holy Spirit revealed to us.  If you are interested in the details about these prophecies, please send me your request via email.

    Spiritual awakening after the war

    After the calamitous war, we will have a new age, a spiritual awakening or enlightenment, and peace will reign for a long time in this world.  The population would have been reduced by a third and there will be much arable land that will be available.  People will be living in planned cities and communities.  Would you like to live in a city where the land is free and you are guaranteed possession of the land for 50 years, renewable, and which you can bequeath to an heir?

    Come back to the true God now

    The Holy Spirit has given His prophecies and these are what will happen.  Be rest assured then that the world will not end yet.  But please, heed what He advises us to do—to change our wicked way of life and change our wrong beliefs.  Come back to the true God now before it’s too late.  There a lot of lessons to study.

    The decision to believe rests upon you

    I am just sharing with you what I heard and learned from the Holy Spirit.  The decision to believe Him or not depends upon yourself.  I am not forcing anyone to believe in what I share.  It is not my responsibility to save you or anyone, but the person’s.  He is the engineer of the house that he is building.

    Reassurance of the true God that He will save us

    Isaiah 35:4 (KJV) states: “Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you.”

  7. It is Impossible for for anyone to say when doomsday is, there is no proof that it will happen so you shouldn't be freaked out

  8. Sorry that they had to pick your birthday for

    their total B.S. bid for attention.

    Ignore it and them.

    Enjoy the day.

  9. Did you freak out about the new millenium also.....you silly fool?!

  10. Isn't it supposed to be 2011?  If it is you won't have to worry about it.

  11. LOL, I know how you feel. Nobody wants to think about the end of the world, birthday or not. I have heard much about this planet x and 2012. Many people have fortold of the end of the world and up to this point they have all been wrong. However, I do find this variation very interesting. As far as your birthday is concerned planet x is supposed to be visible to the naked eye  by mid 2009. So there will be no wondering by the time you turn 17. The whole world will know of out fait long before it comes.

  12. Trust me, you'll live to see your 18th. All this end of the world baloney is just that: pure baloney.


  13. Watch Armageddon (1998) Directed by Michael Bay!

    It makes you feel better! And don’t worry maybe someday someone answers that on yahoo answers!


  14. unless we nuke our selfs out in 2012 you might life to see  2036  and maybe 2112 ok

  15. Take heed but fear not for 2012 is just the revealing of the 'antichrist' or the 'man of lawlessness' at the middle of what Jews and Christians call the 7 year Tribulation. It is celebrated by many pagan cultures from every corner of the world: Sumerians, Babylonians, Cherokee, Hopi, Chinese I-Ching {confirmed by T.McKenna}, Mayans{Pacal Votan}, Egyptians, Celts, Satanists, etc. An evil event called "the abomination that causes desolation". When will Yeshua Ha'Mashiach (Jesus) come? Only God Himself knows, but soon. If you believe or not, that is up to you. Either way it still comes.

    Things to look for to PROVE it to yourself soon:

    >Crash of American banks and its financial underpinning: Operation Sitting Duck

    >Fall of America as an economic power and other ways.

    >The Big One: Revelation 18. America goes down on the list of fabled societies nobody believes in any more like Atlantis, Mu, Lemuria, Hyperborea, etc..

    >Martial law. (Google some of Bush's executive orders concerning it- Nightmarish!)

    >Implementation of Project Bluebeam (be ready to hear more and more 'alien talk'... watch your local skies for the show!) Google and youtube it. Aliens... aliens... aliens...

    >Trying to make people first accept the REAL ID card (to get you in the system) and then right after forcibly implanting people with these RFID microchips:

    http://www.verichipcorp.com/ http://youtube.com/watch?v=f0gXGTcd6eE

    >The start of the North American Union.

    >Push to attack Iran which will start WW3-the atomic war to end all wars. (If you think China, Russia, and the Muslim world would just sit back, you are a mistaken fool!)

    >Final push to one world government: The New World Order- The 4th Reich!

    (The brutal final empire foreseen by Daniel and John)

    >Rise of a miraculous and awe inspiring world leader later to turn world dictator.

    >Push to one world religion where there are "manys ways to God".

    >Toleration of everything but Jews and Christians.

    >Temporary and unheard of "peace in the middle east".

    >Revelation13:10  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P-hvPJPT...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNPn2JLz7...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epMeGr-wD...

    >More world wide food shortages and famines.

    >More earth quakes. More fires. Strange and severe weather.

    >Major spiritual awakenings.

    >Rise of Islamic fanaticism.

    >Rise in wickedness and corruption.

    >Total chaos. Listen to this wise young child:

    *** ALERT: THEY ARE ALREADY PRACTICING [A MUST SEE!]***

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=932Zu4e4iVM

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=plELx_wmNgU

    Christians and Messianic Jews look forward to this as it means they will soon join their Messianic Saviour in the Millennial Kingdom of the next Age and their Heavenly Father later as "Children of Light". If you try to equate 2012 with Y2K or some other date that cried wolf, then you will be making the worst mistake in your life. Research all these things FOR YOURSELF!

  16. no.. not freaked out here.  

  17. 12/21/2012 will NOT BE DOOMSDAY!!!

    Here is a synopsis of why the various myths surrounding this date are nonsense.

    The Mayan culture/society/way of life is long since dead

    Therefore as an end to "the world" 2012 was a wildly optimistic estimate for them!

    And anyway – that is the wrong interpretation of the whole calander thing – it’s just the end of a cycle. And since calendars are based on astronomical motions of one kind or another, they are inherently cyclic. Our western calendar ends on December 31st every year!

    Planet X/Nibiru does not exist. If it did we would have found it by now. We have mapped the sky in the infrared several times in the last 25 years (including WMAP, IRAS etc), and it would show up. It is not there. We would have found it if it existed. So all the nonsense about the return of Nibiru/Planet X is just that – nonsense

    There is no scientific evidence for the existence of Nibiru

    Furthermore, at the distance it must be to hit us in a little over 4 years, it would be reflecting enough light from the sun to be detectable.

    Thanx to previous question from Brant and answer from bikenbeer2000, we know how bright it should be by now – it would have a apparent magnitude of 7.4 – which would not be visible with the naked eye – but easily visible in a modest telescope and would have been spotted by amateur. If there was a conspiracy to keep it quiet – it would be out of the bag by now.

    Ask someone where it is supposed to be, get a pair of binoculars and look for it.

    The videos on YouTube that purport to have evidence are disingenuous to say the least. They put together pictures of other objects (e.g. Jupiter, comets even a dust shell around a distant red giant star) and try to scare people. There is no validity to their claims. They present NO EVIDENCE at all.

    As for the predicted catastrophes – the most popular one seems to be the Pole Shift!

    The sun will have a pole reversal that year – it has one every 11 years – it is not a problem.

    The earth’s magnetic field is less predictable –

    but is still nothing to worry about: we know that the magnetic field does not collapse in the process of reversing polarity- if it did, there would be major extinctions that correlate with the geologic record for pole reversals - there is no correlation.

    Chill out - and plan on having a great birthday...


  18. Nope

    You will be 18 on Dec 21, 2013

  19. You, madam, are deceived.

    Nothing will happen on December 21, 2012, except the winter solstice. (asside from thousands of paranoid fools expecting their sorry useless lives to end).

  20. don't worry. just get laid before that day

  21. i don't believe it  so the earth will explode supposedly before your b day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... im kind of scared too cause i dont know if its real or not. well i'll be thinking of you that day cause its your b day. wow that really sucks!!!!1

  22. 12-21 2012 = doomsday? huh?

    I don't get it.


  23. Well, Presuming your a Sagittarius, the sign of Good Luck and Optimism, It should be a good day (or night ;])

  24. i think doomsday was a lie to convince people to buy some product. like some company made it up. hey speaking of freaky days, it is 8-8-08 today! and where i live its 8 oclock now!  

  25. This is a myth based on the irresponsible, (and repeated) airing of a ridiculous pseudo-documentary on the History Channel. That network, and the Discovery Channel and Fox, will air anything they feel will get a bigger audience. Sometimes, their shows are good and worth watching. Other times, they are foolish, sensationalist, tabloid-style hype. It is often difficult to tell which is which, unless you know about a subject. I know about the history of doomsday predictions, pseudoscience, and astronomy.

    The Mayan calendar does not predict the end of the world. They did keep an accurate calendar, but contrary to popular opinion, never predicted any world event accurately. They couldn't predict their own demise; why should they be able to predict ours?

    The alignment with the galactic center is not going to happen. It comes fairly close to happening EVERY year on Dec 21, and will be exactly the same as it always is, in 2012. Even if some perfect alignment did occur, there is nothing about it that could affect the earth. It's like saying, "When these three parking spaces are occupied by three red cars, the world will come to an end."

    Doomsday prophets have always been around and they are always wrong. Every 5 to 10 years, some prediction catches the public's attention and scares a lot of kids...usually thanks to irresponsible media decisions. Dozens of different doomsday scenarios have been piggy-backed on to this date since the show aired. Go to this site to see how many predicted apocalypses we have already missed.

    http://www.abhota.info/index.htm

    All that Nibiru stuff is bunk, too. No such planet has ever been discovered. The claim that it was discovered some 25 years ago is not true.


  26. 2012? lol :D 14? XD my 17th will be in like 2015? XD gratz lol!i hope you egt a new car or something :) or egt to go to chuck E cheeses!!! im jk lol

  27. I don't think its gonna happen. As a Christian, I believe the rainbow is god's promise not to end the world. I just trust god in this. If it happens, fine. proof to all  y'all atheist god isn't real. but i strongly believe it wont.  

  28. I know what you mean, i'll be doing this on 12/21/12!
