Do u think something apocalyptic will happen on Dec 21 2012? (Poll)

[zeroturbulence]

Many of us have probably already heard about the 5,000+ year Mayan Calendar and how it ends on a peculiar date: Dec. 21st, 2012 and all of the speculation and hype surrounding it. The bible says that no one knows the day or the hour when the end will come, not even the Son of Man (Jesus), so many say that all the hype is baloney, but is it?

There was a recent discovery of a lost book of illustrations by the famous Nostradamus which he supposedly hid knowing that it would be discovered near the time that its predictions would come true. The illustrations in the book have been interpreted as showing the earth's alignment with the center of the Milky Way galaxy and that something apocalyptic would happen at that time, something that is interpreted as the end of time, but not the end of the world. Astrologers say that the time of alignment is a small window of about 20 years and this is it. We're in it. Coincidence?

Mwahahahaha!! (evil laugh)

Select your answer in the poll and tell us what you think.

I'm not so sure if anything "epic" will happen at all, but it would be kind of neat if something did happen. Things are getting a little boring and predictable. If the world were shaken up a little, perhaps people would see the grand scale of things and be a little nicer and less argumentative over the petty things in life that are easy to get caught up in.

I kinda doubt anything much will happen though.

I know we are having a party of apocalyptic proportions from 12/20/2012-12/21/2012 just in case things do go poorly.

 

[flight316]

No, but it might.

 

[kenisyes]

Something will happen only for the people foolish enough to believe false archeology of pagan Indians over God strongly enough to cause some problems for themselves.

 

[Powemm]

I don't know, but God does

 

[IDromos]

I personally don't even think the Mayans predicted anything. I just think they made a calendar that went into the future and then they said "I think we've gone far enough." And even if they did predict something I wouldn't believe a pagan prophecy for anything.

Stuff will happen when God wants it That's for sure! And we know stuff will come

 

[Ugly]

Umm... i don't follow the religious ramblings of a dead pagan civilization whose religion required them to sacrifice children to their god. So, no, i don't believe anything will happen.

 

[zaoman32]

ummm...zombie apocalypse anyone?

 

[zeroturbulence]

Just so you all know...

Nobody knows for sure why the Mayans ended their calendar on that date.
They (the Mayans) did not tell of any prediction or prophecy.

Carry on..

 

[eugenius]

Nothing will happen.

 

[Nautilus]

So they predicted the end of the world, but not the invasion of Ferdinand Cortez?

Technically, because they didn't. The whole idea was misunderstanding and rumor. Further research showed that the calendar did not end on Dec 21 2012. It was a mistake made and corrected, but by the time they caught it the wrong message had already spread. And now, whats more sensational? Oops we made a mistake or END OF THE WORLD?
Though, really, to any bible believing Christian, it shouldn't matter anyways.

good one-- you guys are hilarious-- I needed a cheer-up tonight! and Relena: "things are getting a little boring and predictable..."

I heard the people in central America are more concerned about the weather--
and I could use a little alignment myself...but, I'm still looking for a job tomorrow
I think it's definitely a warning from God. And the guy around here (WA state U.S.) keeps saying end of May. He may have the time of year right, but not the date, because it doesn't happen. I'm gonna plan for this spring anyway, just to keep me going-- to give me something to live for, and stay out of the dark and in the light...

But--

Apocalyptic Dreams​

I have had a few apocalyptic dreams-- back in the 1980's before my mental crash. One was people running, myself included, in panic from a tall building from which debris was falling. another was a brief, but vivid one many years ago-- anticipation built like yeast; if you have ever watched yeast rise in a bowl, it reaches the maximum budding stage and then rises all at once; then Jesus appeared in the sky, and all people turned involuntarily towards him-- even burial skulls; the sense of the dream was that Christ is life itself. It began with power approaching the earth, and I saw a space station, and a sense of unusual music; seems to me it was spring or summer in the dream, but,

Other Dreams; Nightmares; Hell​

Another one was a vivid dream of my death; I get nervous whenever I travel to where it occurred. But, dreams are only signs-- they don't always happen the way they appear. And here is something-- and many people will attest to this. When I was in sin, I had vivid nightmares too, and vivid dreams of hell in the past, unfortunately, so, dreams can be important guides; like all accounts of hell, they were beyond horror.

Dreams of Heaven--Heavenly Birds​

I've had dreams of Heaven too, back when I had better dreams; One was memorable: A lady who I liked appeared walking along a mountain trail towards a misty mountain meadow in the early morning where myself and other friends were gathered, calling my name--
Another time, I was visiting friends and a lady who had serious mental health challenges was there. All of a sudden there was the sound of birds filling the room. we looked outside and no birds-- we attributed it to her presence and her suffering in life.

oops, I just realized this is the Christian singles section-- not the apocalyptic section;

[tapuout101]

The disciples asked the LORD when will these things come. He said even He did not know when the time is. If we think we are gonna figure it out we lie to ourselves. Every few years someone comes up with a date the world is gonna end.

Since when did anyone give any credibility to anything the Mayans did? They were a primitive society that got conquered by a more advanced society, and that's what they were noted for historically. I have a calendar in my closet that I made in high school that ends on December 31st, 2004. I didn't think the world was going to end after that, I just didn't find it worthwhile to make it go longer at the time.

I don't know why Nostradamus was even brought into this topic. He's not some great prophet. If a thousand crazy men make a thousand wild, vague predictions, one of them is bound to turn up. As for his other 999 predictions...let's just say don't hold your breath.

This should put this topic to rest; the Mayan calendar didn't take leap years into account, hundreds of which have passed since then. So by their calendar we're actually well into 2013 already, and December 21st has long passed.
