Question

What will happen on December 21, 2012? How the world is getting ready for that day?

Answer 1

< What will happen on December 21, 2012? >

Its not going to be the end of the world. In case you don't know, only God our Father knows the day of the rapture and the day the world ends. The date you speak of is a Mayan prophecy of Armageddon. Take a look at all of the hype about Y2K being the end. Nothing happened. So what makes a person think the Mayans are correct?

< How the world is getting ready for that day? >

Most people are not worrying about this. Most people appear to have their head screwed on straight.

How about you? Do you want the whole world to panic and start a huge riot or something similar and end up finding out the truth that the end was not on that day? For your sake and everyone else, don't even mention this date.

Answer 2

Well, a few things will actually happen on that day and though they might not be anything to worry about, it will be a truly unique day in human history. December 21, 2012 is the official end to the Mayan calander, the oldest and most accurate calander every written. It will also be the day that the sun will point directly to the center of the Milky Way Galaxy this occurs only once every 25,920 years. It will also be the time of a polar reversal which occurs every 12,000 years due to a change in the sunspot cycle.

Merlin, and Nostradamus both had prophecies about the year 2012, since we have no idea what a polar reversal would do to us, and the mayans and prophets 500 years ago obviously saw a rare astronomical event, at the very least it will be a once in a lifetime experience.

Answer 3

The Mayan Calendar ends that day, as I understand.  Historically many people have been the harbinger of death and so far Earth is still here and turning.  Enjoy the gift of astrology, astronomy and culture the Mayans gave us and just ignore the "End Time" predictors.

Answer 4

<<What will happen on December 21, 2012?>>

It'll be a Saturday.

<<How the world is getting ready for that day?>>

Some people are preparing by asking pointless questions.  These may include persons who asked very similar questions about the year 2000 which, somehow or other, didn't herald in the predicted end of the world.  Most aren't making any prepatations whatsoever.

Answer 5

As stated above, I think people have mistaken 21 december 2012 with the 12th, presumably because it looks more tidy and symmetrical. Nevertheless, the entire theory is without any foundation in fact.

The idea that the world will end in 2012 is a popular misconception brought about by a misinterpretation of the Mayan calender system.

The Maya were renowned for their remarkable prophetic skills, but what most people don't realize is that these skills were Astronomical in origin. They predicted seasonal and stellar changes based on their highly advanced interpretation of the stars. It was nothing mystical, although surely very spiritual for them. Their skills in astronomy were hundreds of years ahead of their time.

Anyway, using these stars as their guide, they mapped out many different calenders, two of which actually linked together to create a perpetuating dual calender system that predicted the seasons and spacial events with unerring accuracy.

The problem is, that these calenders end in what we now know to be "2012", and despite the fact that there were many other calenders in their collection, and that they did not have the time to complete them all, many people have drawn the unfounded speculation that the ending of these two particular calenders must mean that the world will end there.

Of course, this is not the case. The Maya were a profoundly circular society, they believed that the universe was totally cyclical, the ending of one calender simply means you start another, or start that one from the begining again. They did believe that time progressed in stages, which was represented in part by their evolving calender systems, and it could be interpreted that the ending of the calender means that humanity will evolve at that time, thus starting a new stage of existence for which no earthly calender would be required.

This is often use to substantiate theories relating to the "ascension" of humanity, and to a lesser degree, the rapture, which forms the tenuous connection to some kind of appocalyptic future. But as I said, the Maya did not believe in an "end", either of the world or of humanity, thus they did not believe the world will end, lease of all predict it.

Most logically, the end of their calender suggests that we start from the begining again. At a stretch, it could possible mean some grand ascension, but as I said, their prophetic abilities were not mystical, they were astronomical, so that is highly unlikely.

And that is where this elusive "2012" date keeps popping up from, and has since been butchered and incorporated into a myriad of scientific and metaphysical theories about the end of the world, but I would take all of these with a pinch of salt if I were you, as all these theories are concocted to support another theory which is, essentially, inherrently flawed due to a fatal lack of understanding of Mayan culture.

I hope you found this answer satisfying. :)

in heard about it planet x supose to come by earth thats in possly gravity all planets have gravity the bigger the size more gravity

also you cant perrict the future but you can guess it

even you go toi the future nits not your time line your in a differe unvirese . if you  talk to nasa about it they luagh cause biger than commet cant travel

see you got it all worng in 1955 Einstein said poles shift before and they might happend agian thern that happend people say that means comets will come and crahed the earth cues the graity effect no we lied to you gravity is by size like planet this shift you will happen in 2 millions yearsn when the plates formed again.  

Answer 7

This will probably be just another day.

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.

Each new Christian denomination seems to worry about the end of the world a bit too much. Then after a couple of centuries, they realize that there are always wars and rumors of wars, etc.

I won't even mention the hundreds of false predictions of the end of the world over the centuries, all of which were based on individual interpretations of biblical prophecies.

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

The LHC.    Yeah, the LHC will probably open a stable portal to h**l.  d**n, it will be just like "DOOM".  Yeah, DOOM the first person shooter game.   I find it very od that LHC will be running relatively close to 2012.  DOOM 3 really scared the c**p out of me.   I don't think anything will prepare you except maybeif you believe in the bible and religion, faith and all that is associated with salvation.
