Verified answer

Since the beginning of time people have always predicted the end of the world.

2012 is another prediction. People say that we will die, but really it is all about transformation. I think that we will still go on living but see the world as a different place.

If you think about it now, our culture and society is being bombarded with a lot of information, so many different things to be aware of. So of course when the time comes we will look back and see that the way we see the world is different.

If you said in the 80's that the world will be different in the 90's you could see that was true. If you said in the 90's that the world would be different at the new millenium, again you would see that that was true. So on and so on.

Who says we are going to die ? It predicts the end of the world as "we know it". It says the world is going to start to change, it doesn't say we are all going to die in some apocalyptic fireball or something. That much is believable the Mayans knew what they were talking about.

mayan calendar = The Maya developed a sophisticated calendar. The ritual calendar that developed in Mesoamerica used a count of 260 days. This calendar gave each day a name, much like our days of the week. There were 20 day names, each represented by a unique symbol.

yes very confusing i know =S

yea just like y2K

So many rumors are flying around that the world will end in 2012. But do not worry. Do not be afraid. 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.

Besides the Mayans (not the end of the world but a new beginning, though), the Holy Bible prophesied significant things that will happen to us and to the world. The Bible tells us about the coming of the Holy Spirit who “will show you things to come” (John 16:13, KJV). He is the One who we should listen to.

Of course, we will not die in this end of the world rumor because it is a false one. However, the Bible tells us that one out of every three persons will die because of the nuclear war (Revelation 9:18) as I will mention below. The Holy Spirit told us that it is only now that the prophecies in Revelation are being fulfilled. I believe Him because no time in the history of the world has an army of 200,000,000 cavalry soldiers has ever been mustered or assembled except now (Revelation 9:16). The Chinese has this number and more than that. It has the largest army in the world.

Nostradamus and the book of Revelation

Nostradamus’ 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 Hell. This is very scary – to live in Hell 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/peacecrusader888/crucifyi... 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): “And 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.” “Redeemed 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. 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/superichingtuay... 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. 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.

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.”
