What is the 2012 theory?

Question

i mean i've heard about it but i don't understand :P

can someone put it in a quick simple explanation haha

Answer 1

Do not worry.  Do not be scared.  I assure you that the world will not end on 2012 December 21 but it will end one day.  Nostradamus’ prediction of when the earth will end is far into the future, past about 3700.  He still has many prophecies that are not fulfilled yet.  Remember that if there is a beginning, there is an end.  

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).  It will be the end of a Mayan calendar cycle to start a new cycle.

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 is certain—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.

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 is being claimed wholly by China, Taiwan and Vietnam; and partly by Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines,  It is considered a tinderbox, a flash point.  It is very rich in oil and gas resources, 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 Tuey Bei Tu (the past 55 prophecies have already been fulfilled) found at http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1... 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, then we will have a new age and peace 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.

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 2

There are alot of things that connect the end of the world or a drastic change in the world to 2012. This is a fairly long answer but thats only because this is going to cover alot of the ideas and prophesies.

The mayan callender, the most famous connection, stopped on December 21, 2012. Mayans were very smart with astronomy and were predicting solar eclipses that are still accurate. They said that was when the dark spot of the universe (black hole in the center of the milky way) aligns with the sun and the earth. When that happens a drastic change would happen and evil would be thrown away.

A prophet in Grece, that predicted the birth of Jesus, also predicted something happening in 2012. She said something similar to the prophesy from the Mayans.

A chineese book of prophesies called the ii ching (i think thats how its spelled) also predicted this. You ask the book any question and flip six coins then write it down depending on heads and tails. Then you match it up to a symbol and it gives you an answer. One man pulled all of these out and turned it into a graph which showed the fall of the Roman empire, the two world wars, and the birth of America. On 2012 this graph shows a time of horror and evil which would effect the world much more than the fall of the Romans.

A computer program designed to predict stocks was invented in the mid '90's. It took newspapers and scanned the headlines and what it said and gave predictions to how stocks would turn out. It would have been used to know when to buy, when to sell, and when to hold stocks. This program did something else though, it gave predictions to political events. Presidents, terror attacks, wars, everything. This program also told people a warning for wars, famine, plagues, ect. happening in the year 2012.

An Irish prophet in the 1500's (I think) warned people the same way as the prophet in Greece.

Theres alot of weird things around 2012 that make it the most interesting and probable end time. Every other time one or two people mentioned a time and they were wrong. This one has about a dozen. But again this is still highly unprobable so don't be expecting anything fun.

Answer 3

the 2012 theory is that the world will end because there will be the last popo in the list and mayor mayor things will happend

Answer 4

the myans drew a calandar on their rock walls starting with 31xx bc and ending 2012ad. pretty much everything in the calandar has happened so what everyone thinks is cause it stops there the world ends there

Answer 5

It's a theory the world will end in 2012, in December. It started because the Mayans of South America foretold that this is when the 5th age of humans will die.

Answer 6

The quick, simple answer is there is no actual scientific theory or evidence that anything unusual is going to happen in 2012.  It is a collection of myths and disproven theories being promulgated by doomsday predictors, who predict a new one every few years.  The longer explanation is below:

It is based on the end the current cycle of the Mayan long count calendar.  No doomsday was predicted and the Mayan civilization died out.

Niburu (Planet X) doesn't exist. Zecharia Sitchin is an author of books promoting the ancient astronaut theory for human origins. He attributes the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Annunaki (or Nephilim) from a hypothetical planet named Nibiru in the solar system.  The Doomsayers predicted that it was to hit Earth in 2003. When it didn't show up, they just moved it out to 2012 to coincide with the end of the Mayan calendar.  

Galactic Alignment - takes 36 years to precess through galactic equator, we will be 6 degrees off in 2012.

Asteroid Apophis - the 2001 alert was for 2029, and was canceled after additional observations showed it would not hit us.

Polar Shift - the magnetic poles are moving all the time.  Polar reversal happens over thousands of years.

Passage through a "photon belt" has been added.  This is also untrue and wouldn't hurt us if it were.  Photons are merely units of light.

Answer 7

the League of Silly People put together a mock-umentary that has ran on the "history" channel many times, each time catching a few more gullible souls.

none of their claims, including the most ABSURD one (the mayans predicted something other than eclipses) have been shown to have even the slightest veracity and yet the dang show gets put on by the money grubbers on The "History" Channel again and again!

its AMAZING what people will believe.

(even more amazing that NOT ONE of the believers, even the loud-mouthed ones, ever actually RESEARCH any of their claims, they just parrot what other people say)

Answer 8

lol

Answer 9

Don't know what does it mean????!!!

Answer 10

same stuff they said about 2000..and what happened? NOTHING! we are all alive and livin our lives

Answer 11

2012 is just the revealing of the 'antichrist' at the middle of what Jews and Christians call the Tribulation. All things must come and go. If you believe or not, that is up to you.

Things to look for to prove it to yourself soon:

The fall of America as a power economically and in other ways.

The start of the North American Union.

Push to one world government.

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

More food shortages and famines.

More earth quakes.

More fires.

Strange and severe weather.

Push for USA and Israel 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 sadly mistaken and a fool!)

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

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

Major spiritual awakenings.

Rise of Islamic fanaticism.

Toleration of everything but Jews and Christians.

Rise in wickedness and corruption.

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

Trying to make people first accept the REAL ID card and then right after forcibly implant people with RFID chips (google: 'Verichip Corp').

2012 has been the end of this Age prophecy of many religions, cultures, and people all through the world.

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".

Research all these things FOR YOURSELF!

Answer 12

It isn't a theory.  A theory has some real evidence to back it up.  By early in July 2008 questions about 2012 had been asked more than 10,000 times on YA.  I have given a version of this answer more than 140 times.  See also -

http://robotics.caltech.edu/~mason/Delus...

Here is a dismissal of most of the rot that people talk.  

This stuff is all lies and fraud to get people buying faked up books, videos, watching nonsense shows on TV and directing traffic to fraudulent websites.

Pole shifts - no, not a chance.  The Earth’s axis of rotation is stabilised by the Moon’s gravity.  

Magnetic poles flip - no, they will just keep moving as usual.  They are likely to change ends at some time in the geologically near future but it will take hundreds to thousands of years to happen.  Meanwhile, the magnetic field will not disappear, but it will probably get more complex.  

Mayan calendar - one of their calendars ends in 2012. There is no prediction attached to this and even if there was, it would be astrology and that has been disproved so many times that it's not worth any more words.

Solar maximum - expected in 2011, not 2012 and it happens every 11 years anyway.

Predicted planetary “alignments” are completely false.  The positions of the planets will be about as far from an "alignment" as you can imagine.  The next "alignment" of the major planets is expected sometime after the Sun burns out.  Even if it did happen the question would arise "So what?"  Where is the physical connection between Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn etc?  

Gravity?  Like to calculate how strong the gravitational effects of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn is on Earth?  Multiply the masses of the planets together, divide by the square of the distance between them and then multiply by the gravitational constant, which is a rather small number.  Now add them all together and you still don't have a hill of beans.

Newton knew how more than 200 years ago, but our planetary alignment freaks never care to because the result would make them look as silly as they are.  

Venus will transit the Sun in June 2012, just as it did in 2004 and on a regular roughly 110 year cycle before that.  No noticeable effect then except on astronomers, some of whom will take measurements, no expected effect this next time.

Planet X / black hole / brown dwarf / wandering planet - No.  It was predicted for 2003 by a loony woman who claimed telepathic contact with aliens.  No sign of it then and still no sign of it.  If this big nasty exists it must be quite close by now and visible with a fairly ordinary astronomical telescope.  Where is it?  The assumption that it can only be seen from the southern hemisphere and therefore astronomers don’t see it is nonsense, there are many large optical and some radio astronomical telescopes in Chile and Australia.

Nibiru was originally a separate scare and depends on some faked-up scholarship by a fraud called Z. Sitchin.  He claimed to be able to read cuneiform, a script used by Assyrians, Babylonians and Sumerians among others.  He could not but others can.  He claimed that some old Babylonian texts talked of a planet with a 3600 year orbit that passed close to Earth.  This planet was inhabited by aliens who landed on Earth to enslave people into producing gold for them.

In fact Nibiru is an old Mesopotamian name for the planet Jupiter, which will be staying right in its accustomed orbit, thank you very much.  Sitchin disagreed with the "Planet X" loony.  

25,800 year cycles.  This is called "precession of the equinoxes" and was discovered a bit more than 2100 years ago. It has been happening since the Earth formed billions of years ago and will not stop, start or change direction in 2012.    There is no particular significance in the direction the poles of rotation happen to be pointing at present or in 2012.  

The Bible codes were disproved within months of the first book coming out, similar coded messages can be found in any random book or even newspapers using the same "anything goes" methods faked up by the author, Michael Drosnin.  He used the codes to predict a nuclear war starting in 1997.  Ooops.  

Revelation - nobody ever made sense of those febrile maunderings, the evidence for that is that there are so many different interpretations.  It has been used to predict the end on dozens of dates from the year 500AD right up to April 2008.

Nostradamus never predicted anything accurately and he may not have intended to.  Many editions of his quatrains contain faked verses inserted long after he died.

Galactic central plane - we are near it, so astronomers say, but we have always been near it, though nobody actually knows exactly where it is.  No exact "alignment" is possible because of the angle of the ecliptic to that of the galactic central plane.  A rough “alignment” of Sun, Earth and the galactic centre happens twice every year and nothing happens.  Even if there was an exact “alignment”, the question would be "So what?"

Photon belt - this one is almost the silliest of the lot.  The Earth was expected to enter this region in 1997 with remarkable effects.  Ooops.  The “photon belt” is also said to be around the "7 Sisters".  Our solar system is heading away from them, not towards them.  It does not exist anyway.

This is all fake scholarship, pseudo-science, lies, superstition and abject delusion.

Answer 13

The Mayans made a calender of temperature and dates and they mostly came true and in Dec. 12 2012 the world will end

Answer 14

It is a simple conspiracy theory with no scientific facts.  It is just a bunch of hot air and someone's idea to gain attention and scare children.

Answer 15

Some claim that 2012 is when the Earth will experience a polar shift (see above). Others say that after 2012, the Earth will experience a period of terrible destruction followed by a new age of peace and enlightenment. A few claim that in 2012, a secret government will accomplish its goal of total world domination.

Answer 16

It is said that in 2012 the earth will have an end but it is not so because according to newton and astrologers it will end at 2060

Answer 17

The world is supposed to end. lmao. Yeah Right.

Think about it, if these Mayan were so smart and figured out that the world would end in 2012, how come they couldn't predict their own end? hmm...

Answer 18

If you really want to learn more about the Mayan Doomsday Prophecy, I suggest you watch this episode that will come out on the History Channel on  Monday, July 21 at 10:00 AM and 04:00 PM

Answer 19

the big bang machine maybe the cause of the end of the earth in 2012. this machine maybe able to create a blackhole.

Answer 20

Take every imaginable stupidity - A sloppy lineup of planets will make the earth come apart, the ending of a calendar tablet means the end of the world.

Answer 21

That some people will believe anything.

Answer 22

According to the 2012ers it will be the end of the world because

1. Nostradamus said so

2. The Mayan calender ends

3. an Ouija Board said so

4. there will be a pole shift

5. there will be a planetary alignment

6. there will be a galactic alignment

7. an asteroid will hit earth

8. Planet X/ Nibiru will appear

9. some crystal skull nonsense

10. we are heading into a photon belt (whatever that’s supposed to be

11. Indian Astronomer said so

and probably some other equally silly reasons.

I would take those doomsayers more serious if they

- had a better track record (just how many times has the world ended already?)

- could make up ONE story about it
