Answer 1

This is basically why, He may be right or it may be about 20 more years before it happens. Maybe sooner.....but here is how it's going to happen (I have to include some info from history because it relates to why this is all going to happen):

In 1989, Chinese students in China had a protest because they wanted democracy like how USA and England and other countries have. They even built a statue during this protest that looked like the Statue of Liberty and called it "Lady Liberty". Chinas government became angry at their defiance and killed about 2000 of them by sending in their military and running them over with tanks and shooting them. China has never liked the USA but "this was the straw that broke the camels back" you could say. This was called the Tiananmen Square Massacre (Theres videos on youtube).

China has always believed that Taiwan is their land and their property. They view the citizens of Taiwan as rebels, kind of like how they viewed the students at Tiananmen Square...Defiant. Well USA has a treaty with Taiwan, which states that we are obligated to protect Taiwan if China ever attacks or at least supply them with weapons to fight China. Of course, China doesnt like USA for this and this is just adding fuel to the fire between the 2. Well in 1996, China performed missile tests in the strait of Taiwan, which the USA viewed as a threat to Taiwan so the USA sent naval ships in. USA and China were on the verge of war that day and China backed down. This was called the Taiwan Strait Crisis. Ever since then, China has been building up their military and every year they have an increased number of missiles aimed at Taiwan. 3 years ago they had 500, now they have about double that (and probably more that we dont know about).

USA invaded Iraq, which was not their land, and majority of the world did not agree with this. China wants Taiwan, which they claim IS their land. China now has a motive to attack Taiwan and since their economy is booming and is expected to surpass USA within 30 years, they will soon have the power, the money, and the military to take over Taiwan without USA being a threat. USA will mount up with allies in an effort to honor their treaty..which will include Japan England etc. China will mount up with allies such as Russia, North Korea, Iran etc. (China will most likely have more allies because of the world disagreeing with the Iraq War). This will cause World War 3 and nobody will be left in the end, just small factions who will eventually be killed by the nuclear waste left on earth from this massive war.

Answer 2

Nostradamus said nothing about 2012. He made predictions for the 18th century and for the 7th month of 1999...and both were badly wrong. Who told you he even mentioned 2012? There is no good reason for saying doomsday will be in 2012. It is appalling that so many people mindlessly repeat such absurd drivel without researching it at all. I bet you $1000 that the world will not end in 2012!

Answer 3

Wild-stab geuss...he was coo-coo anyhows....you are safe....the world doesn't end until 2013....

Answer 4

Just like different religions converge on creation myths and flood myths, so too do they converge on eschatological (end of time) myths. I don't think Nostradamus said anything about 2012, save versus the elections of women in power. Could he be talking about Hillary Clinton? That would surely spell disaster!

The Mayan calendar is the most common source for the 2012 eschatological views. The Bible talks about armageddon, but doesn't explain how long between each seal and its doomsaying details. Norse mythology talked about Ragnarok.  The Aztecs and Hopi Indians also have myths that are particularly similar to those of the Mayans with respect to doom. Both also have 4 or 5 ages like the Mayans. But the Mayan calculations actually add to 2011, and not 2012, so a mystery remains as to why people keep repeating that date.

There are a couple of possibilities, if the end is nigh. In the first, we are all going to die. In the second, what has been heralded as death, may simply be a shift from one type of consciousness to another. The difficulty with interpreting such details is that when these prophecies were forged, it was done so by civilizations who did not necessarily all believe that death was the final curtain, but was a different stage of life. That in some way we would live on, be it through spirit to be resurrected later on or what not. Interpreting something like that from the mentality of people who believe that death is the end could give us a more fatal complex than what might actually happen.

Best to wait it out and see what happens.

Answer 5

just him guessing....watch language

Answer 6

He didnt say that.  He said it is the end to everything we know.  It will be like a new chapter on earth.  Well be at the beginning of something new again.  He was not an a*****e or a freakazoid so you should not call him that just because of your own fears.  You should not fear anything anyways for there is nothing to be afraid of.  That is part of the reason why earth is the way it is today.  Fear.  I say everyone should release that emotion from there hearts because it is no longer needed.  In order to live better here on earth we must get over fear.

Answer 8

Answer 9

The  year 2012 is rumored to be end of the world.  It is a false rumor.  So 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.  Remember that if there is a beginning, there is an end.  

Nostradamus and the book of Revelation

Nostradamus did not prophesy that the world would end in 2012.  His 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 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.

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):  Ã¢Â€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.”  Ã¢Â€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.”

Answer 10

Where do you get your information from????  Nostradamus didn't predict that.  The Mayan Calendar has everyone freaked out that it predicts the end of the world but it actually predicts the end of a cycle.

Answer 11

I don't know about Nostradamuos his references do point and fill in the gap in the MAYAN calendar and the mayans prediction which end on 12/21/12 at 11:11PM. The world is predicted by them to end and start a new cycle on that year. Not only they, but scientist warn of a intergalactic event which will affect all of us on that year, technically 2011. There are predictions that go as far as meteor showers, sun spots (the suns violent and most deadliest storms to affect us) increase in volcanic activity earthquakes and bizarre weather all over and polar shift which is a magnetic shift on earth. What we know as north will be south what we know south will be north. Everything is going to change on 2011 or more famously 2012. Hows that for filling you in? If you don't trust me, look for it on google or yahoo! etc.. there are many prophecies not just from Nostradamous. There's the Chi, Hopi indians, the mayans and of course scientist and NASA. Whether it's true I don't know.. it's up for speculation and debate.

Answer 12

Nostradamus and his quatrains predicted absolutely nothing, the myth and that's all it is, of Nostradamus will be around for a very, very long time, because people will always want to believe in such nonsense, either because they simply choose to believe in such things or they are just uninformed.

If he was around today, his writings would be among the cheesy tabloids that are near the checkout counters at your local grocery store.
