Is december 21, 2012 the end of the world or the next mayan era?

Question

i've heard both, but i dont know what to believe.

my sister said that the world is gonna rotate so that the north is south and all gravitational forces will be gone. she said the only way to live is to move to mars. i dont know if she was kidding or serious cuz she had a serious face on.

Answer 1

Why would you believe that c**p?!?! Obviously you people who believe in this believe everything you say. Wow this us such a lie! I mean seriously. People said the world was gonna end on June 6 2006 and it never hapened! And there is no evidence! These are just lies people make up that are passed on and stupid ppl believe!

Answer 2

question for DanKush, where are you going? mars? equator? deep underground?

Answer 3

ive heard that the world will end on dec 21, 2012

Answer 4

personally i think your sister is crazy

but then again i to believe the world will end in 2012

i don't think all that stuff will happen that your sister says

nor do i believe all the mayan c**p either

i think they predicted the correct date for the end of the world but they did not correctly predict what is going to happen

now i do not know what is going to happen but i do not believe all the mayan c**p

and for all you religous people, i do not believe that that will be the date of the rapture either

it will just be the date of the end of the world

Answer 5

it might be the end of some people's world. But maybe not the end of someone elses world.

Maybe my world will end, and maybe not your's. But the world in it's whole will NOT end, that's for sure. There are going to be events that will occure but the end of the world is not in 2012. that's for sure. But maybe a lot of people will die. We don't specifically know. I think it will be a new era.

There are different theories of events that some think will happen. Like an asteroid, or the "Antichrist and others.

I can't choose what's going to happen because I don't know.

But it will not be the end of the world.

Answer 6

Rumored to be the end of the world is 2012 December 21.  It is a false rumor.  Let me assure you though that the world will not end on that date yet but it will really end one day.  Remember that if there is a beginning, there is an end.  

Nostradamus’ prophecy of when the world will end is far into the future, past about 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 till around AD 3200, and then Satan will be released to test the descendants of the elect for about 500 years.  After that, the end will come.

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).

In the book of Revelation, 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.

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.

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.

Did you know that in his or her boredom, “Thanks for reading this” theorized in Yahoo Answers, Religion & Spirituality section, that 2012 is 20 + 12 = 32, the approximate age of Jesus when He was crucified and died?  I answered that when Jesus died, He was actually 32 solar years old, equivalent to 33 lunar years.  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 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.  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.  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 vessel that Noah used to be saved was an ark.  This time, another kind of vesssel will be used to save the elect.

  

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.

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/corp3... 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.

After the calamitous war, we will have a new age, a spiritual awakening or enlightenment, and peace will reign for a long time.  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?  One of the changes may include a single monetary system as you mentioned.

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.

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.

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.”

Answer 7

I hope you are 8...

And DanKush too...

Answer 8

the mayans are going to strike back and rule the world...itll be a new mayan age at 2012

HAHA

no seriously, it means NOTHING

Answer 9

No, north is not going to become south, that is something called geomagnetic reversal. It could happen in 2012, but thats not what the theory is. The real theory is that precession is happening, some think it happens over time, others think it happens relatively fast. If it happens slow, then nothing will happen. If it happens fast, then at least 90% of all living species will be exyerminated by natural catastrophes so massive they;ve never been seen before. The asix of the earth will align into a new alignment relative to the sun, meaning the position of the equator relative to the sun will change. The Mayans knew something big would happen, but current day scientists arent convinced, even though they have been right in EVERYTHING they have predicted, or should I say calculated. To put it simply, if it does happen, there isnty much you can do unless you really believe befroehand it will happen. As or myself, I am a beleiver that it will happen, i';ve looked into it for months, read all sorts of things, watched so many videos, looked into other ancient civilizations that knew this day was special. Nothing will happen on that specific day, but if something is going to happen, it should start by mid-late  2009, and will end in 2013. I'll be in a certain place by next year, if it doesnt happen I will return home, if it does, I might actually survive it and be able to contribute to future civilizations of our species. The logical thing to do is to look into it, not disregard it as many have done. You'll see many people saying nothing will happen, blah blah blah, but all they have done is go with the majority belief that nothing will happen, never having taken the time to look into it themselves. The consquences of not even considering it as a possibility is death, the consequences of looking into it and beleiving it will come true is a safegaurd against death, atg the very most you will humiliated and embarassed that you were wrong if it doesnt happen. Id rather be alive than dead.

People that dont know anything about it, usually say "it wont be the end of the world", well of course not, the world will not end, in fact the Earth will continue to live on, but the human species might end. Ive seen to many people refer to 2012 as the "end of the world" when really the mayans said it would be a geat transformation of consciousness of mankind, How that transformation will happen nobody knows. I know that if 95% of the human species died off, Im pretty sure the other 5% would have a different perspective on life, and therefore consciousness. The end of the world, NO, mass extinctions and deaths, YES.

Answer 10

The Mayan Calendars end at the completion of their cycle; much like our calendar ends at the end of the solar year cycle.  There is no "End of the World" Maya prophecy; Rather, they predict an "End of the World as we know it". Great changes are expected to happen, including more natural disasters followed by a change in consciousness and a time of peace.

Here is a summary of my research into the Mayan Calendars and their predictions for the time leading to Dec. 21, 2012.

--------------------------



The following cycles are most relevant to what may occur in 2012. There is the 25,625 year "Galactic Day" and the 5,125 year "Long Count"(Great Cycle). Both of these are set to END and RESTART on the Winter Solstice of 2012 (11:00 UST Dec. 21, 2012):



Let's start with the "Galactic Day". As we travel around the Milky Way galaxy, it is my understanding that we do not remain at a constant distance nor at the same orientation in relation to the black hole at its center;  a black hole the Maya refer to as the supreme creator, "HUNAB KU". Instead, we move closer and further from this black hole.  As we move in closer, we simultaneously become aligned  with the Milky Way's equator or "The Tree of Life" as the Maya call it.  Upon doing so, we may become exposed to "HUNAB KU's" opposing magnetic forces which would cause our Sun to eject intense solar flares and Earth to experience a magnetic pole reversal (Pole Shift).  In the years that we have been furthest away from ,"HUNAB KU", we have been dense low vibrating energy and have been experiencing our dark spiritual years: These years have been part of the "Galactic Night".  As we move closer, we become higher vibrating energy and spiritually enlightened beings: These years pertain to the "Galactic Day". We are currently in transition from Night to Day. The complete cycle takes 25,625 years; approximately the same as what modern science has calculated and named "The Precession Of The Equinox Cycle".

The "Long Count" evenly divides the "Galactic Day" into five equal parts (25,625 years / 5 = 5,125 years). It is my understanding that this cycle also coincides with a natural rhythmic beat that is derived from the black hole at the center of the galaxy in the form of an energy pulse. This energy pulse presumably has multiple effects on us and our surroundings. It not only helps us to become enlightened beings for twenty years, but can reek havoc on Earth by creating larger solar flares which can bring drought, famine, earthquakes, volcanic activity, and tsunamis. Twenty years prior to this event, in a period the Maya refer to as "The Time of No-Time",  mild energy spurts, from "HUNAB KU",  create a shift in consciousness; from left-brain thinking to right-brain thinking (from logical to intuitive). This shift can be experienced all at once or gradually at first moving exponentially as we approach the end of the cycle.

There is one more Mayan Calendar I could share with you called "The Nine Underworlds". It is one of the more recently rediscovered calendars and may be the most important one, in so far as the 2012 prophecies are concerned.  It is a calendar that has recorded the state of consciousness from the beginning of time (The Big Bang) to Dec. 21, 2012.  At which time, we will have supposedly consciously evolved to completeness to become co-creators with "HUNAB-KU":  It maps out "creation" if you will.   Humans will be exposed to a cosmic energy that will facilitate enlightenment. In this state of higher consciousness, we will recognize that all matter, plant, animal, mineral are bound as one. This realization will mark the end of wars.

Answer 11

I really hope not because thats the year after I graduate from high school. im not going through all this high school c**p just to die right after!!

Answer 12

Well, as Nostradamus predicted the end of the world either the same date as the Mayans, or a year after, it could be the end of the world in December between 2011 and 2013. It could very well be when this world ends, but it could merely be another, regular day. I know this isn't much help, and for that I apologize.

But if it is the end of the world, or the Mayans' next era, I'd say the Apocalypse.

Answer 13

well I have heard that before, it sortof freaks you out but DO NOT LISTEN to your sister she does not know what she is talking about.

Personally I don't believe that 12/21/12 is the end of the world, however, I believe that somethings might change, whether it be more powerful weather, disasters etc, but no I do not believe that is the end of the world.

I recently read a book "End of Days" by Sylvia Browne, very interesting, I recomend it. It talks about what other people have predicted the "end" of days, the mayans, cults,other proficies(spelling?), and also what she predicts for the end of the world.

Answer 14

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Answer 15

miss breezy .....u should go out and enjoy life than worry about what's going to happen in another 4 years or so

Yes mayan calender end abrubtly on Dec21 2012 and so was predicted by Nostradamus....but u can never be sure with these things.....As for me it would be just another day

Answer 16

Maybe society or the world as we know it might end, as in the secular things...government, Economics etc, most people people think it will be a new renaissance for the earth!! so it will be a new era. In the Bible says that in the "end times" the New Jerusalem will descend from heaven, so ur sis is not crazy! lol

Answer 17

i heard that too! And i hope to god its not true. i keep on saying to myself "stuff on tv is not true" but i'm starting to have doubts
