Is there really going to be a 2012 apocalypse?

Question

I'm scared...

Answer 1

We'll have to wait and see.

Answer 2

This is nonsense and has been circulating around the internet for months now.   It has to do with the end of the Mayan calendar.   Why in the world anyone thinks the Mayans, hundreds of years ago, would be able to predict this is a mystery to me.   What did they know, that modern scientists do not?   If things like this frighten you, get a grip, and get a life.

Answer 3

no. There have been hundreds of "doomdays" predicted since time started, and 0% of them happened. 2012 is not an exception.

Answer 4

I really hope not, everyone is always saying the world is coming an end because of the bad things happening now, but I guess we'll see on Dec. 21, 2012, that's the day the Maya predicted.

Answer 5

Probably not.

Ever since the 6/6/6 (June 6, 2006) End of the World scenario did not pan out, the scare mongers have been touting the 2012 End of the World scenario. When 2012 does not happen either, I am sure they will think of something else.

"But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come." (Mark 13:32-33)

Jesus told us in no uncertain terms that we were not to know when the end of the world would come but that we were always to be ready.

The early Christian Church thought that Jesus was going to return at any moment. Only after a couple of centuries did the Church realize that it may be 2,000 or 4,000 or 8,000 years before Jesus returns.

The Catholic Church wisely follows Jesus' advice and teaches that each of us should live as if we will meet our maker in the next ten minutes and that we need to work to make the world a better place for our 100 X great-grandchildren.

Do not worry about the end of the world. Trust God to make sure everthing happens to plan. Just be ready to meet God at any time.

Answer 10

Its ok, dont be scaird. In the Bible it says no one will know when it is going to happen. And there is no way of knowing what year it will be in.People have been saying that it is the end of time since the beginning of time.Just stay strong in faith and you have nothing to worry about.

And really dont be afraid. I was for like two years, and now I see how silly I was. I lied awake every night in fear, dont be like I was.
