2012 The end of the world?

Maybe someone else mentioned this in a previous post, so forgive me for not wanting to droll through the other 20 or so pages =D

2012 is vaguely mentioned in it's appropriate texts as an apocalypse. Most of it typically mentions a great change in civilization.

I've come to the conclusion that we as humans focus on fear more so than other things, so it's not too shocking to place 2012 with ragnarok, armegeddon, et cetra.

It could be a time for amazing change and movements of peace that will lure the world into a time of pure freedom and thought that borders on the modern day Pax Romana many of us hope for.


Though, today's times don't really show any stride towards effort in diplomacy( Here and there ), alot can happen before 2012.


OR....


The mass hysteria brought by it sends millions to riot and anarchy. Suicide, murder, crime is on the rise and religions try to take over to ' save souls '. Government can't keep up with this rise in violence from an expected end, and martial law is put into effect. Congratulations, paranoia took away our bulk of freedoms and the world is now stupified from all the outlash of anger.

 

I dont believe in the world ending in 2012. In the bible it says that you wont now wen God will come so i doubt the world will end in 2012. But the bible did say that the world will end by fire. so yea..mayb something due to global warming and climate change...

 

Misinterpretation of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar is the basis for a New Age belief that a cataclysm will take place on December 21, 2012. December 21, 2012 is simply the last day of the 13th b'ak'tun. But that is not the end of the Long Count because the 14th through 20th b'ak'tuns are still to come... so whoever made this 2012 crap up are complete and total nimrods

 

curse this man for creating this fuck:
John Major Jenkins

 

and his brother leroy?

 

sure sure.

 

The world's always being predicted to end, a few examples:

Oct 3 1533 - Michael Stifel, a German associate of Martin Luther, urged his small band of followers to sell all their property after becoming convinced by his mathematical study of the Bible that the end of the world was approaching. On the appointed day he led his followers to the top of a hill so they could be delivered to heaven. A few hours later, with the world very much intact, he hurried down the hill and had to be locked in a local prison for his own protection.

Oct 22 1844 - Millerites, followers of the American Baptist preacher William Miller, became convinced that the end of the world had been predicted in Daniel 8:14. After a few false dawns, the date was set as Oct 22 1844. That day is now known, for obvious reasons, as the Great Disappointment. Most Millerites subsequently rejected their faith.

1914 – Jehovah’s Witnesses have now stopped predicting exact dates for the end of the world after a string of high-profile failures. Charles Taze Russell, who founded the Watch Tower magazine, calculated that Jesus Christ would impose his rule on earth in 1914. The outbreak of the First World War seemed to lend support to his Armageddon prediction, but there was no Second Coming.

1969 – Charles Manson believed that simmering racial tensions in the US would erupt into an Apocalyptic race war, after which his band of criminals – the “Manson Family” – would rule the world. When no race war erupted, his gang began a killing spree to “show the blacks how to do it”. Manson is currently serving life for murder.

1980s – The US evangelist Hal Lindsey believed that Armageddon would follow the expansion of the EU into a 10 country United States of Europe ruled by the Antichrist. He never set a date for the end of the world but hinted that a final battle between good and evil was imminent. He still broadcasts his biblical prophecies on evangelist networks.

Sept 11-13 1988 - Former Nasa engineer Edgar Whisenant sold 4.5 million copies of his book 88 Reasons Why the Rapture Could Be in 1988, mostly to evangelical US Christians. Follow-up works, which revised the prediction for dates in the 1990s, failed to sell as well.

1993 - David Koresh and more than 100 followers barricaded themselves into the Branch Davidian ranch in Waco, Texas, to await the end of the world. They were surrounded by the FBI in a 51-day siege that was only ended by a fire that killed 76 of those inside, including Koresh.

March 1997 – Members of UFO cult Heaven's Gate believed that the appearance of the Hale-Bopp comet signaled that the Earth was due for imminent destruction. The only way to “survive” the end of the world was to commit suicide so their souls could board a spaceship travelling behind the comet. The bodies of 38 devotees were found in a house in California on March 26.

Jan 1 2000 – Dozens of Christian cults predicted the turn of the millennium would coincide with the Second Coming of Christ and the end of the world. Concerns that the Y2K computer bug would collapse computer systems stoked an atmosphere of impending doom. But, as ever, life went on as normal. Carlos Roa, the Argentine goalkeeper who declined to negotiate a new contract at his Spanish club because he was convinced the world would end, returned later in the season.

May 2008 – Thirty-five members of a cult called the True Russian Orthodox Church spent six months in a cave in anticipation of the apocalypse predicted by their leader Pyotr Kuznetsov. They began to emerge from their makeshift underground home after the roof began to collapse in March. Kuznetsov, who never accompanied his followers into the cave, has been ordered to undergo psychiatric treatment by a Russian court.

 

JUST WHY THE MAYAN RAN OUT OF INK WHEN CAME TO ITS 2012 SCHEDULE DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE WORLD WILL END THERE!!!!!!!!!

however im sure the world will end in the 2035 when castlevania look for his new master. and emergence of a new dark lord

ya, seriously. I think that we can not say when we will die from some theories. but if we are going to die, then i will sing "we will die, we will die yeah, we will die"

 

failure after failure... tsk tsk.

 

HAH.
What a bunch of morons

 

Think of the Year 2000. A ton of people paniced.
If nothing happens, then the Mayan's would look pretty stupid. But if there is something, then they would look smart. Just wait until that date and see what happens.

 

Exactly.
That moron John Major Jenkins...

 

Columbia is in the west, too, no? Haha, I jest I jest.

 

By western, I think he means the North, as in North America, primarily the United States because of:
John Major Jenkins...

;D

 

Actually, I am of Maya peoples and If you look at my screen name which Ive had since i first started touching a PC in my childhood, 2012 is Maya. It has to do with a universal eclipse. It is the day the spiritual world opens and the gods visit. It is NOT the end of the world. It's a translation typo. It's the start of the next cycle of the world. The dinosaurs extinction, Noah's ark, and so forth were supposed to be only some of the other times. Mother earth comes to clean up so she can survive. I'm not saying we all die, but the people numbers will drop due to natural disasters which have already started practising. I've had dreams my entire life of this. Remember you saw it here, so i can say i told you so later. I feel so strongly about this that i refused to see the 2012 movie for fear that the movie is right. (((Got scared when i saw a preview)))

 

heh. Sure. Well damn him anyways. He was the bitch who thought of all this shit.

 

i always want to meet Gaia, if she come, I'll welcome her personally.
