    I've heard of this speculation. But, if you think about it people have been predicting the end of the world since time on. None of us really know!!!

    Yeah... that's where the Mayans calendar ended... but come on... they had to stop at SOME point. If you believe the Bible, you believe Matt 24:36 that "NO ONE knows the day or the hour" and Luke 12:40 that Jesus will come at an hour "you do not expect". So that pretty much guarantees He WON'T come 12-21-2012, meaning the world will either end before then or after then, but no... it won't end Dec 21, 2012.

    But I gotta say... I'm ready no matter when the world ends and it doesn't scare me in the least. If you'd be interesting in talking about why I feel that way and studying together, let me know! :flowerforyou:

    ***I think this is a fantastic response to this question. It's a great idea to look to the Bible for answers when we are scared about something. Trust in the Lord your God...he will either deliver you through your trial, take your trial away completely, or carry you home. Once you know this, there is no need to be scared.

    I thought religion wasn't supposed to be discussed on these sites. (not trying to start an argument)

    Unless that is when an asteroid is suppose to hit us, I don't think they can really predict the end of the world.

    it is also speculated because of literature written by Nostradamus, where he predicted certain events leading up to the end of the world in 2012, and researchers are linking his predictions to recent historical events....

    believe what you will, but if the world is really ending in 2012, we'll all be gone so there's no reason to worry :tongue:

    happy saturday everyone!!!!!!!!

    The mayans calander revolved around the sun and it kind of freaks me out because of the alignment of the planets on dec 21st 2012...I hope none of this stands true but here's an eerie site about it http://www.viewzone.com/endtime.html

    I wouldnt worry to much about it, december 21st is the just the end of the 4th cycle, so december 22nd is the beginning of the 5th! They said that on the 21st the knowledge of the ancient Mayans will be rediscovered and it will be the dawning of a new age for mankind!

    my youngest child turns 21 on 12-21-12. weird huh?

    more than just the mayan calendar has come up with that date as being significant, there is also evidence of that date in Nostradamus' prophecies, and in Chinese texts as well.

    ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo:noway: spooky


    HAHA I forgot to log in as myself- this is Lucky... I'm visiting Moms and on her 'puter

    there no reason to be mean:explode: people are entitled to believe what they want

    I don't think she was trying to be mean, she was raising the 100% valid point that in the forum rules, it specifically discusses the inappropriateness of discussing religion. the original post was not about religion, it was about a prediction based on a calendar system. nobody is kicking anyone off, but not everything has a connection to the bible or the bible's opinion on something

    Like I said... Not looking to start an argument, not trying to be mean. I just thought religion was off limits, like politics. Both cause very strong feelings and often get out of hand. Also, I did not say whether or not I am a religious person. It was just an observation. Nothing more, nothing less.
