12/21/2012, The End?

[Mole_J]

On the History channel a lot these days there are a lot of documentaries talking about December 21, 2012 being the last day of our time. A number of references from many cultures and religions point to 2012 being the end.

Here is a video on their site:

Here is an article saying nothing will happen on December 21, 2012.

The one thing that the article mentions above could happen, and it could could happen anytime is a pole shift. The North pole and South pole changing positions.
What is that pole shift thing

Do you think December 21, 2012 will be the end?

Interesting.....Ethopia in October Celebrated the year 2000 for the first time. Ushering in ( for them ) the new Millimum

I was thinking the last day would be 1/19/2036. I really need to hurry up and get things done now!

In all seriousness,

1 Thessalonians 5

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief
in the night.

2 Peter 3

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which
the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt
with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be
burned up.

Don't have to be too concerned as to when.

Our solar system passes through the ecliptic.

Basically, the Mayan calender is circular and as days/hours/months/years/etc pass the wheels turn from the inside out. Kinda like the gears of a clock turning. On December 21st, 2012, the calender will have made it's first full rotation. Thus a new cycle will start.

The Long Count calendar identifies a date by counting the number of days from August 11, 3114 BC According to the Maya, there will be a baktun ending in 2012, a significant event being the end of the 13th 400 year period, but not the end of the world. However, instead of using a base-10 scheme like Western numbering, the Long Count days were tallied in a modified base-20 scheme.

No man knows the date or time...

If it does I don't have to ever turn 33, so I wonder if that's good or bad . . .

Who knows....He could come before this day ends.

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Matt. 24:44
We know that Jesus said, "when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." Luke 21:28

He does give us a diagram of what to look for, other than that we just know its nigh, no date given.

He says....Be ready.

Isn't it strange that a program would air something like this?

We hear it from the pulpit and we talk about the coming of the Lord to each other, but to see a discussion on it on a program like the "History" channel where thousands watch, is something else. Like maybe, God is trying to give the world a wake up call. Get their attention.
