Many are predicting the world is going to come to an end in 2012 and saying other things about it.
What are your opinons about these such predictions?
With the shifting of the North and South poles we will experience many natural disasters that will claim many lives and change life as we know it. Studies by Stanford University have shown that the poles have shifted before.
if you look more closely at the "end of the world" supposedly predicted by the Mayans you will find its actually the prediction of the end of an age and a new age will begin. Most societies and religions have predictions of the end of times but there is always a new beginning. we will either adapt to the new time or become extinct as is the way of nature.
Honestly, I think that no one knows when the world is going to end.
Whenever it does, it does.
If it will in 2012... It does.
We just need to wait and see what happens.
Nothing will happen. Let's just go with that. Every supposd "prediction" about 2012 has either been proven false or was total bollocks to begin with. Like that 10th planet nonsense. People were claiming that there is a planet the size of Jupiter that follows an elliptical orbit around the sun every 25000 years that will collide with Earth in 2012. I mean, seriously? People just want to satisfy their demand for a conspiracy. How many people were convinced that the world was going to end in Y2K?

Just like with the start of the New Millenium in 2000, there were predictions.... and what happened? Were still here!
I belief that with the end of the Mayan calendar, it's probably that the Scribe who was doing the calendar died and no one continued his work.

i would have to agree dear alpha , so many people we affraid of a neuclear holacaust that much the world hid under ground for how many days and weeks. and what happened? nothing. no computers going haywire. no major natural disasters nothin. it could be as simple as the person died or that they were describing more of an end of an era so to say. no one knows how or when you will die much less others.
I dont think anything will happen. People always have pointed out sertain years to be the event of some judgementday. Was same year 2000 and nothing happend.
Honestly, I think something will happen, but not the end of the world. The ancients were close to be completely accurate about extreme climate shifts, or famines. Even years away.
i was pondering this the other day and most of us know that it's Mayan related, this 2012 prediction. also we know the mayans disappeared so what if this "calculation" was put to a halt when they disappeared?
NOT ONLY did the Mayans have the '2012' calendar system, but the Chinese, Egyptians,Anglo-Saxons,and Incans.
i think that it could be possibly I mean because it was predicited by many different people. but then again I think it all could be blown outta propotion too
"Many are predicting the world is going to come to an end in 2012 and saying other things about it.
What are your opinons about these such predictions?"
WHO is saying the world will end in 2012? Names? Links? This 2012 is just a doomsday prophecy among many others. Enjoy your life, We die tomorrow your gonna feel shitty for wasting time!
i agree, let's just all enjoy life and each other. the mayans didn't complete their next calendar because they where wipped out by the spainards. how can we belive "profits" that could not even predict their own deaths? sounds like a load of bullocks! so lets all have fun and see what happens.
Not an End as most will see it to be.
It is an Ending, yes. But also a Beginning. As with all thing's, there is a cycle to Life. This is no exception.

from what I understand of this...
the Mayans were obsessed with time and astrological events. They created a calendar, which happens to end in 2012. There are other "-ists" who claim a(another) major pole shift will take place, according to the alignment of the earth. This is supposed to cause massive extinction of some species, drastic climate changes, etc. The whole "end of the world" has come only from the Mayan calendar ending, but nothing was every said it was an ending, it's just where they stopped. Unfortunately, most of their scrolls were destroyed.
I also have read that the Chinese I Ching also predicts a major occurrence in 2012.
Many other "-ists" will tell you we are long past due for a major disaster, whether it be volcanoes, earthquakes, etc.
I think pretty much that it's really interesting to read about, but our proof of what is going to happen will be on December 21, 2012.
This is what is going to happen that time . hehhehe

No..i think only humans go by time,and humans are
the ones that SEEM to want an end of there world.
Why else would they date such things?
You don't seen animals dating things,and preparing
for an end and all of that..now do you?Shure alot of
wierd things happen...but maybe thats life..some wierd
things do happen from time to time.
In my jurnal there is somthing i wrote called..
'mark of the beastie' it about that bio-chip.
they are going to pread it out around 2017..everyone
will have one.It's a long thing to write about...som im
not putting it up here.But..it has to to with the end
of humanity..and the begining of real live cattle..and
the ways of there..wanting the end to there lives.
Maybe it indicates the end of war.
We have been warring a long time...
perhaps the new cycle is peace.
Well first off how mny times has the end of the world been predicted come on, it could crahs tomorrow or the sun could explode in 85,000 years and the earth freeze over and all lfie slowly die, but whatever happens happens.
I believe something could happen tragically but then again I may be wrong also, I have a feeling of it
And no one is preparing for such a tragic diasater.
of course it is very intresting to look into but not to worry also because we only have this life to live and not another . Unless we have unfinished buisness to tend to after our life.
Any way I was just wondering ur thoughts and responses to the 2012 predictions. I was reading up on them in other sites
and thought to see your responses here,
Very interesting
i hate all this shit about 2012 being the end of the world i mean what is to say that us as the human race just enter in to another age on being i mean all this stuff i hear on the tv about come to christ or come to god the end is near they said that about the y2k scare and look we are still here so just sit back and see and if the world does end then it does if not all that cash that people spent on stupid shit went to waist
I think like the Ice age that the poles shifting back to their original position will occur around this time. And that there will be a lot of natural disasters which will make it seem like the end of the world. This world will endure and continue as it always has. And mother nature will wipe off a few of us pesky humans that are doing so much damage to her.
i personally dont think the world will END.
i think there will be CHANGES, but i dont think the whole of the earth will be eliminated.
i think that theory is just bull.
case in point:
Y2K.
:D
♥♥♥
Many times I've heard the end of the world will come, mostly in 2000 and what? We're still here then people start saying the same bullocks every time there's a new century or a date with particular numbers like : 6/06/06, etc...there was even a book that in it was written that there was the possibility that the world would end on 5/5/05 and we're still here, now the major fuss is about December 21, 2012.
I saw a documentary some months ago, and it was said that it doesn't necessarily mean the end of the world but a new beginning, maybe a very positive one. That'd be fantastic. We need a new positive change.
Also people talking about another ice age era, global warming, an international war,...etc...what will happen really? No one knows and I don't bother, we have to die anyway.
Also, it's possible that the end of the world comes on that date, but it doesn't necessarily mean that's probable, it can happen any time, or it can happen in a million years of time or never. Also if it's the end of the world, it could be the end of people but not of planet Earth, it passed from a lot of disasters and is still living.
So yes I agree with whoever says, just enjoy life and not worry about it.
I don't know how they got doomsday out of all of this. I am not secure that the govenments wouldn't wait to announce something close to the end thinking that there would be panic and louting. This is only speculative and it could be a long list of things.
The calendar ends so what, the Maya mixed into society according to everything I have read or documentaries I have seen. It is also the Aztec calendar and I don't see a mass migration of native peoples out of Mexico or Central and South America or at least I haven't heard of one. They probably just didn't extend the calendar or it was because they believed a new age was to begin around the time of the end of this calendar. There are numerous predictions but there were at the Millenium as well. I wouldn't worry.
Well let's give this some thought from a different perspective. As a christian, I believe in prophecy. That being said, I also believe that no one knows when it will happen so that takes 2012 out of the equation. My question is that if we are all out of here 12/21/2012, what is more important, the time and the way we die or the way we lived?
It is alot less frightening for some people to contemplate the end of the world than it is to balance their checkbook. It is easier to think of it all ending for some than to plan for their children 's college.
It is alot less frightening for some of us to think of dying than how in the heck we are going to navigate our way around this blue ball for what could end up being 50-70 years. Death is easy life is hard. If you knew what day you would die, what real differance would it make on how you live and why? Why aren't we all living like we could cease to exist in the next 5 minutes? Seeing as all we are promised is this minute why waist it speculating that it will all be over in a bit over 3 years? We could all be dead by then.
There have allways been many predictions.Let time and mother nature do their will and wait
The end of a particular cycle of a particular calandar does not mean the end of the world is near.
2012... the end of the Mayan calendar... ?
I doubt anything significant is going to happen unless some doomsday cult or something of the like forces it.
2012 may have been just a convenient place to stop. I mean... really, who's going to keep writing the calendar? The Mayans may have figured, "Well, when we get close to 2012 we'll just pick up where we left off. We have plenty of time."
In 1999, many people of the Abrahamic faiths believed it to be the second coming of Jesus. 2000 years had passed since the birth of Christ and it was for-told in the Christian bible that this was supposed to happen. When January 1st came around and everyone was still here, skepticism struck. No one really knows the time line a higher power's plannings, so we can't be sure of when anything will happen really. In the case of 2012, the prophecy is now set on the Mayan calendar. Many theories suggest that this is the end of days for humanity as we know it because an ancient civilization said so. Personally, I've noted something about this. On the calendar that was found with this 'apocalypse' date, there is no mention of the world ending. It just happens to be when the calendar ends. You have to remember that these people made a calendar on stone dating into the future for thousands of years. Imagine if you had every calendar for every year for the next 3 thousand years. That would take up a lot of space. It's highly likely that the Mayans either ran out of room, got tired of making up the calendar and figured they had gone far enough, OR that could have been about the time when Cortez and the rest of Spain came barreling through Central America. They could have all been killed at that time while making the calendar. There are just so many factors that you can trust everything on. In the case of the Bible and the year 2000 being the end of the world as we know it. Yet again, you can' trust in something so dramatic based on what someone wrote a long time ago. These days you would think humans would know better. But sometime, somewhere, one of those ancient texts is bound to come true. So keep on your toes people. It's going to be a bumpy ride.
SkieShauphen - I like your theory. It makes sense but I'm just wondering... What about the Chinese calender?
In a post above it was mentioned that other calenders also ended in the year 2012.
The poles are shifting as they say, and that much I do believe, because of global warming, and the hurricanes and floods.
Just have to see what 2012 will bring.
yes, who knows? there are some good predictions and nonsense out there. if we survive, then great. if we don't noone will know because we wont be here to talk about it.
global warming, poles shifting, its all just a way for the government to get money from us. suck us dry so to speak.
good luck and God speed to most, or Satan speed to those who prefer.
Lolz, I love it. I never dwell on that which I cannot control anyways. As for the Chinese calendar. Who really knows. There are a lot of unexplained mysteries around the world. Why does every culture around the globe have forms of dragons in their culture? Why did the Asian population have such a greater understanding of sciences than all of the other cultures? Why do the poles keep switching? Why does the world go through Ice and Heat Ages? Why do we evolve? So much that we don't understand.
I do believe that this is just another part of the Earth shifting itself around, to find balance within itself. I know that we may all think because of all the many awful things that have taken many lives with the natural disaster, that it will be the end of all things, when really it is just the beginning of another way of life! Embrace these new changes:D The Earth is healing herself.
well in 2012 we will have a great awaking and see what we really need to do to save our selves but along with that there will a end to the world as we know it and we will have a age of chos and then after that we will have world peace and then we will see
I believe George Carlin (R.I.P.) said it best. Mother Earth created us to get one thing. Plastic. We've made it, now it's just going to shrug us off just like the dinosaurs. It's already started systematically killing us off one by one. The Earth needed a way to make us kill ourselves doing something we love. AIDS was created. It was the perfect virus. Then, if that's not enough, all Mother Earth has to do is shake us off and that's it. Problem solved. Lolz
The disasters and shifting of poles is not new to human race. This will not bring to end of any race.
But no one noticed that we ae entered in start of dark ages, this start from dissatisfaction anger and compition to loot and harming others. the human race will not be prosperus day by day and to balance this few of them will shift to the high psychic living such as psychic exercises, meditation, etc.
May few high psychics such as david blaine or others may achieve kundalini awakening that year, may the aliens comes in friendliness that year from any planet. I don't know on what basis this year made such important.
But as deeper to dark ages we go, the psychic power will rise to balance these inner (darkness and demon and dissatisfaction inside) and outer darkness (imbalance in nature) and will see much more master in more nos than earlier.
If the world comes to an end...so be it. If the world does not come to an end...so be it.
Regardless of whether or not 2012 is the end (Personally, I think it's not), it should not affect how we live our lives.
Act as though every day on Earth is your last one, and that way, every day is a blessing, and if the world ends...it won't be a surprise.
I think the world will eventually come to an an end, but NOT in 2012. The Mayan calendar was not representing when they thought the world was coming to an end.
The tremors are begining in California; the pressure is starting to build. The polar shift has begun.
It's all a bunch of Doodie , because those things cant be predicted , would be cool if they could , but its all gonna happen when it has to happen!
2012 is a play on dates pertaing to the actual birth date of Christ.
The Maya culture predicts it will happen, as it had three times prior.
History repeats it's self.
The chaos that was total paranoia in 2000 was highly over ridiculous!
But not all shall perish, as if that where the case; then with the first destruction, no one would be here now, would they?
Number crunchers like this can be disproved by a simple view of historical accuracy. When religion, science etc says something will happen, then you need only look at what actually happens. If there is a planet due on 2012 then we should see something pretty soon, if it turns out to be false then there will be someone who says it is something else. For instance the 'Age of Aquarius'...lol. Time bares witness to the fallacy of future predictions.
There is no date in the christian bible or hint of one as to when the world should end. The only hints are prophecy and if you are a bible believer the major ones have been playing out on the world scene since 1948 when the prophecy of Israel becoming a nation once more and her peoples flooding from the four corners of the planet to go to their ancestral homeland.
Christ says in the bible that no man knows the day or the hour of the end, but we can look for signs.
There is a 7 day theory that matches up the scripture that says 1 day is as 1000 years with good and 1000 years as is a day. So if the earth was re organized in 7 days, or 7000 years then it is thought that we are too be here 7000 years before another reorganization. this is not biblical, only theory though
I think that these predictions are all just propaganda... If the Earth DID cease to live on in 2012, the claenders would STOP at 2012...
Propaganda and hokey BS is right. Seriously, they said the world was going to end how many times? Many times. I can remember the last being at the same time they were talking about the Y2K. People need to stop worrying about the end of the world and live life the way they should daily.
If the world does end, would it really matter? We will all be beyond caring ourselves, because no one would be a live to care. Not only that, but people should have worried about what we were doing to the Earth years and years ago and how we were destroying it. Mother Nature doesn't like us all screwing with her.
Amen to that. If the world suddenly does decide to kill us all off I'll wager it will be our own doing, not some prophecy of global destruction. Even though this little planet is very fragile and could die due to a large number of galactic reasons, I'll bet we just kill ourselves off. Weather it's nuclear war, or some sci fi zombie invasion, we will screw ourselves right in the backsides.
alright, I'm sitting here reading everything you all have posted and it's all very interesting and I love to hear my fellow ravers discuss such topics it gives us a wide view of things especially for those of us who don't get on a whole lot...
Anyway the point of my post......
I can see that everyone has failed to mention that christian and non christian scientists alike have pointed out that on december 21 we cross the Magnetic "nexus" (forget what it's actually called) but Nexus will work, anyway we will cross over the most powerful magnetic point in our galaxy, not just Earth but the entire Solar System that we belong too, and not only does Nasa speculate but alot of science organizations paid and volunteer, christian and non christian alike have all said the same things could happen
Either A. Nothing will happen cept maybe some minor changes that will only affect our satellites, cell towers, and the like
2. the poles will shift slightly and we will be affected in a minor but still profound way. which could really just not harm animals and humans and the like but just change the way the air and water on earth is
c. The Earth will flip completely upside down and sideways destroying everything and killing all bringing the earth back to it's former glory before we all fucked it up
or
4. the Magnetic pull on the solar system creates enough magnetism and force on the sun that we have the luxury of witnessing a Mega flare that wipes out the ozone layer and we all fry along with every other planet in our solar system.....
these are just a few that I have heard and have researched to the point that many Governments, Organizations, Civilizations, have these top four things in common.
2012 isn't just a coincedence it happens every few thousand years but always within the same yearly time frame......
but here is a bit of info for you all if you would like the whole thing you can go to http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-pole-shift.htm
evidence suggests pole shifts happen gradually taking anywhere from 1,000 — 28,000 years. The last four flip-flops took about 7,000 years each.Some researchers believe a pole shift is underway today because the magnetic field has decreased in intensity as much as 10% - 15% over the last 150 years, with the rate of decay increasing more significantly in recent years. If this trend continues, the magnetic field will be gone in 1000-2000 years. A weakening magnetic field is a precursor to pole shifts, though it's acknowledged the current decay might also be attributable to other unknown causes, or might reverse itself. In the case of a pole shift.
And then there is this
Much ado has been made of the winter solstice sun aligning with the galactic plane on December 21, 2012. But according to the computational wizard Jean Meeus (page 302 of Mathematical Astronomy Morsels), the solstice points were alignment with the galactic equator as recently as the year 1998.
In other words, the 2012 alignment isn’t unique. Consider the view from our local star, the sun. As seen from the sun, Earth crosses the Milky Way’s galactic plane (also called the galactic equator) twice a year, every year.
from http://www.earthsky.org/faq/will-earth-pass-through-galactic-plane-in-2012
This pole shifting possibility is a bit disturbing. Will compasses and other navigational devices still function properly?
And if there is indeed a nuclear war, will the missiles all end up in the southern hemisphere, because their navigation systems are now oriented around the north pole?
Then there is suddenly a new direction on the theories of the 2012 saga... I do a search on the "Amero" and the conspiracy theories to due with what may happen between the United States Government, Mexico, and Canada.
Amero according to the almighty Wikipedia: Amero
A website based on the Amero:
I wouldn't pay attention to the conspiracy clues about the game itself, though it is worth mention about the Amero conspiracy since it is rumoured to happen somewhere around 2012.
I know the TOS will have a problem with this post since it does deal with conspiracy theories and not actual scientific "facts" or hypothesis about 2012, so I would visit and view the websites and video before this post does get deleted. Just throwing it out there for the sake of it.
A lot of people didnt even know about the prediction until the movie was said to be releaded called 2012 by Sony, at least not in this part of the world. If it does, it really does not matter eitherway. What are we going to do? If such things occur as has been said by people over the net, it will be something we as humans can't control. We will just go....there should be no worrying over it.
one thing people seem to miss is that the planet will be fine, we are supposed to be the ones in trouble in 2012
Why the hell all of the loney, the nutty, the psychos outthere keeps on spaming about the 'Mayan 2012 prediction'. Has anybody else thought that the Mayans prediction about the 2012 'might come true'... What the hell? What about all the 'other Mayan predictions'? Why hasn't anybody talked about them. I will just on keeping on betting that dog poo would do something in the 2012, rather then the Mayans predictions.
well other then that i mean we are about to reach a mild stone in the history of our race at some point and at that point what will happen will we as a race kill our selves or are we going to save our selves i mean this world we live in we are dependent on computers and the internet for just about every thing and what happens when all this technology fails us...i mean what going to happen to the world if one morning we wake up and there is no internet or computers or even power....the world as we know it would end and we would need to find another way i mean what is to say that it would not happen before 2012 or after look at what going on in the time to come
I think total race can not be hit unless the core of earth disturbed and shaken or nuclear war. even armagaddon can't destroy the living human race unless it is 10 miles size planet. even it can not destroy few of human race living in himalayan caves. Its beyond the height of surface destruction and the zone is less open to enviromental changes coz the height is of cloud or beyond.
~SS~ Is impossible to knock people out of their chair/trance, unless the Master of puppets itself reveals to the controlled mind, this will always be "conspiracy theory" for all ignorants who fail to research, read, find, and reason the data about what it has begun since the dawn of this country as a independent nation, and what happened when only primary President actually fought for something and the play began and then when bankers (the mastermind) bought the government(people voice) and now the government stole freedom (the game) to the "true people of dignity"(sheep), It is either build an indirect army or go with the current and be marked robots of money, we still not yet branded like cows but when we are, freedom will be marked as "salvation" for the general public. When people knock their head to something and realize everything is flawed in their reasoning they will see clearer that everything is corrupted, scholastic is just another perfect realization of "freedom" for the social groups, I can't describe everything to people that fail to acknowledge things but the veracity is obtainable. the only thing out of the game that you could acquire a degree of freedom is the game of "lottery" you could jump many stratifed process of this modern slavery yet in mind most live in the same machine, and when you know this every people you know is tainted with the same disease of ignorance, 2012 is not something honest people bring, so I think if it were for those fines ~SS~ presented, ask your gods/goddess' that their is a group fighting counter that notion.
I think if 10 miles size planet hit earth the earthquake will hit the world and then the heat waves will hit the world as lava opened to air and hewhole in plate will make one good lake and the volcano mountains around it. May it lead to making of platou and one mountain range will emerge. but that continent and its neighor continent will hit very badly and few of peepal will be able to save them self from this calamity. as it will create the waves of the size of the equal wight of the nuclear bomb to the planet fell. this will lead the destruction all over the world and the cyclones will hit the world badly. and later the heat will be absorbed by earth by very heavy rainfall all over the world. but before that the sea level rise due to melting of ice of poles due to heat waves, if the planets hit the earth's plate at weaker section direct by making a big orbit around sun then the huge mountain will mount will be as equal to more than size of the planet hit and it by lava and deep hole will splash the lava in the air and the whole top of the earth will be destroyed and its then begining of new living beings and total new race will rise again but human then surely gone if not went to space stations. and if it fall in sea then to some extent the life will be saved as sea can not destroy much at higher side due to gravity. As the surface hit planet can not destroy few of sea life.
But if the lava plates over loaded by weight after thickened, it may create anti gravity and a top equal to any continent may leave the place from the earth and fly into space to make orbit around the earth like saturn have its many moon and dust. this situation due to anti gravity is very devastating coz it will consume the total top surface of the earth including watery seas. coz even sea creatures will not be able to jujb this blow and total forms of living will change and the human will be the tale of past.
Ah i did race my mind very stupidly.
Well, the Mayan calender does run out in December of 2012, but that may simply signify the end of an era rather than the end of the world itself. But who knows - the world WILL inevitably and inexorably come to an end at some point........... Perhaps 2012 will be it. Being there at the very end of things will be quite a ride though. *grins*
Well I feel maybe in their time when they predicted all this chaos to happen and cause the end of the world by 2012 that it could be that things may actually happen yet, I do not really see the world coming to an end in just less than 3 years unless the poles change drastically by then.
We have melting icecaps and things going on yet it seems that it will take longer time than 3 years, since we are aware of the constant changing of the planet.
I am not sying something may not happen cause things happen all the time it is called EVOLUTION* LOL the planet is constantly changing to some degree or another. Yet, I am not worried about the END being here in 2012. I guess we will see just like in 2000 everyone thought that there was gonna be this big drastic shift in 2000... I did not see it or feel it so...
IF it was to end, I feel it will only end as we see it today and not actually destroy the world. I am not worried about it cause everything has to come to an end in order to evolve andbecome new again and refreshed or whatever. So only time will tell. :)
Some questions comes to mind about the 2012.
1-> Why did the Mayans stop at the year 2012?
2-> What do other psychics-predictions tell us about the year 2012? Example: Nostradamus.
3-> Why do people only talk about the Mayan's predictions for the year 2012?
Who cares. If the world ends, there will be no one to write about it anyway.
so what i want to know is whats the next end of the world theory after the 2012 thing passes we did computer crashing chaos ensues and biblical armagedon and lets not forget the killer asteroid i know killer rats that it
the end is nigh the end is nigh
Like many phrophecies we see that the truth is not there, just speculations on how it may come to be. I think that ifsomething did happen it would be a change in the world, whether climate or population. yet to say the world just dies is far out there and hopes that this is not the case.
I am not a satanist but I was speaking to my friend, he is a satanist and he said from what he believes, this is the last aeon. He said that there are many aeons but we are currently in the last one... The Aeon Of Lucifer. This aeon lasts for 4 years... (2008-2012)
He said that he doesn't know the exact date of when this aeon will be done. (The end of this aeon of lucifer = the end of time) There will be signs to show when this aeon will come to a completion. Then Lucifer will take his throne and the people on earth who didn't worship satan will suffer.
Then man will become slaves to satan.
The world will stay the same but the only change is that satan will rule the world.
Personally I don't believe this but I just wanted to tell you what my friend said... From a Satanists point of view.
There Will Come Soft Rains is a 12-line poem by Sara Teasdale written in 1920. The subject of the poem imagines nature reclaiming the earth after humanity has been wiped out by a war (line 7). The voice of the poem speaks definitely, the way in which the poet imagines how little the human race will be missed is an absolute certainty and not just a possibility. The poem reads:
"There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pool singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone."
(I got it from wikipedia.)
But that poem has ALWAYS been a favorite of mine ver since I was 3 or 4 yrs. old.
But Sara Teasedale predicted alot of things about the end of the world. She never went public with her views, for fear of being ridiculed in her era.
I personally don't think anything is going to happen and based on the post I made before and the websites I have given it don't seem like anything is going to happen for at least another 2-7 thousand years but I do know for the end of the world to come and for Satan to rule there has to be alot of things to take place first....
First the Anti Christ has to take the seat, then the mark of the beast will be handed out, but the thing about that is the people will have to want it for one and two it's a choice it's not suppose to be forced on us like everyone thinks either you accept it or don't there is no punishment if you don't take it by the way. then there has to be seven years of peace between all nations, races, colors, sexes, everyone. Personally with all the hate groups out there I don't see this happening yet either. Israel has to emerge as a superpower and as Gods own chosen people. then the worst of times will start chaos, madness, war, encampments. about this time the Anti Christ is said to leave his body as an empty shell and satan will take over it and rule the earth for a thousand years, before this happens the second coming of jesus will happen he will take his own the ones who did not take upon themselves the mark, it's suppose to be everyone else who did that will be left behind.
so to sum up everyone thinks that Christianity is Government control and that it's just a big hoax BUT when the Government starts handing out those marks Christians will be the only ones probably not taking them. and therefor will not be the sheep of the Anti Christ, the Government or anyone else.
so EmoDemon your friend does have a very huge point but just as he said We don't know when it will take place only God Knows.
ModiousV - I personally don't believe that Satan will rule the world...
I do agree with some of what you say.
I agree with the part that you say "The anti-christ must come"
I'm not Christian but I do belong to another religion.
And I believe that the Anti-Christ will come and try to make people believe that he is God. Only true believers will know the difference.
O lord..I hope the world does end in 2012 for the people that believe in that crap. And for the remaining ones to start something where "reasoning" is included in the daily basis. Since a wide range of the population believe in "something happening" by this year, I wouldn't discard the possibility that people in "high waters" use this multiple-cultural "prophecy" into what is another scenery to complete a well structured agenda, since vast majority of individual have shown this behavior by hear-say of people in the media, teli shows, and "scientific discoveries", it would be a formidable play to implement a new excuse.
I don't believe that the world is going to end in 2012 because they said that in the recent years and it didn't. Although I do believe that we are in the last days but it won't end that soon.
I think that people would need and should go on the JerrySpringer show to help solve the problem of the 2012 debate. *Jerry*Jerry*Jerry*
If the Mayans had special powers of prognostication, why didn't they wipe out the Spanish invaders when they had the chance?
I personally think society should start thinking for themselves instead of evolving into believers of someone elses philosophies and or ideals.
The world has enough nut cases that are considered sane and apparently run the government openly. If the world does come to an end due to some sort of Luciferian doctrinated individual that truely believe themselves to be the "anti-christ" and do intimidate the world into believing that they are as well, then I would rather laugh at the whole of the world and mock the supposed "anti-christ" as well as the whole of the world for believing such a nutcase.
Like the bible instigates and no, I am neither Christian, nor privvy to the bible, but have read it: The messiah will come first, then the anti-christ. Not the other way around. The messiah will be proven as false, then the almighty himself (who ever that may be) should be seen across the globe on an international basis. How this will be done could be through the media since the media is the most prevailant source around.
As far as being in an age of Lu-ci-fer (anno lucius or year of light; in representation of Lu-ci-fer as being the "angel of light.") this may just be an occult belief and not actually exist itself. Save for within the Masonic structure, whether Freemasonry is an occult belief is up to the individual to judge, and NO... Luciferianism has nothing to do with the Masons.
Loving the way this thread is going as far as ideals and beliefs go. Keep it up.
The following is a theoretical possibility that I wrote a year ago regarding the entire 2012 subject. None of it is based off of ancient civilization beliefs, or societies interpretation of such. I also listed my resources below for anyone else to read up on what I had put together. I do want to state that I don't necessarily believe that this will happen, but I do find the information interesting.
First of all, 2012 has been forecasted as being the year that sunspot cycle peaks. Now this isn't anything new. It happens every 11 years. According to some physicists, this particular sunspot cycle which peaks on 2012, will be 30 to 50 percent stronger than any previously.
According to Richard Behnke, the director of the US National Science Foundation's Upper Atmospheric Research Section,"this prediction suggests we're potentially looking at more communications and navigations disruptions, more satellite failures, possible disruptions of electrical grids, blackouts, and more dangerous conditions for astronauts."
Now this alone causes some problems, some of which could be pretty terrible, however, along with the rare astronomical alignment of our sun with the galactic plane also being predicted by astronomers, scientists, and many ancient civilizations, a natural catastrophe could possibly be on the horizon. Not to mention, in 2012, venus will be being making a transit of the sun, as well.
You see, my idea is that the possible gravitational pull of these alignments and cycles could possibly affect the sun, causing it to wobble, and it could also affect the equatorial diameter of the sun. This could possibly affect the solar flare activity on it's surface. Then, massive solar flares would rain photons on earth's magnetic field, possibly causing a shift in our planets poles.
It takes 240 some million years for the sun to go around the galaxy. An up down cycle takes 60 some million years.
During this cycle, we cross the galactic plane twice, becoming aligned with the plane every 30 to 40 some million years. This time around when we reach alignment with the galactic plane, we will be then be going above it which will take us out of the disk of the milky way creating less protection from cosmic rays.
Now, we go through this "up and down" cycle every 60 some million years. This, coincidentally, coincides with the 62 million year fossil diversity cycle. This cycle is determined by looking at the fossil record of creatures that die out every 40 some million years.
Our sun is aligned with the galactic plane every 30 to 40 million years. Species on our planet die out every 40 some million years.
In the least, I think this is interesting.

They have been showing so many things on that lately. And, there was another I watched some of the other night. It was depressing, so I turned it off. But it had a few more possibilities added in. It was on discovery or science channel or history, one of those.
I found vvSoulshroudevv post with the assassins creed video very insightful, and while it may be a conspiracy theory, it actually makes a hell of a lot more sense than some of the bullshit that the media comes up with.
Thankyou ~artimisia~, in my perspective, the post relates an idea that the government through media gives the audience IE society, what they want society to see instead of what may actually be taking place.
Since society is always up for a sci-fi conclusion and has been duped into believing in some sort of Mayan Calender end of the world scenerio... Instead of thinking that it could be the end of an AGE so to speak, making a NEW era begin instead of something catastrophic from the sky like the old saying goes "the sky is falling."
I thought to myself and came to the conclusion that the Assassins Creed video made a hell of a lot more sense and in reality could happen sooner then the earth either collapsing, or being destroyed by "ultimate cosmic powers."
well there has been many predictions that have been proven and many have not and the people want to believe in them, yet I feel that we should look for our own answers as to the future and not depend on preditions that could just be empty words by the predictor.
I mean really do you want the world to end in 2012?? I know I do not so wait and see just like with all other predictions.
Really I know I don't want to ever die period, or have the world end in general. I have so much I still want to do, and want to experience, and do not want to be left out of the conundrum. So really I just brush certain things like this off, because until there really proof behind the pudding, I am just going to continue to enjoy life as it comes.
well said my dear..That sums it all up why get your panies in a bunch till you have all the real proof and facts. :)
No matter how bad things get I believe that the world is not going to end in 2012.
Everyone is just making an issue out of nothing.
well I am not sure if it is an issue as to more of just a discussion of a probable cause due to old preditions from an ancient civilization. LOl
The world could end anytime and of course not everyone if anyone will survive what ever may happen to cause any kind of destruction. Yet, I feel it will not end anytime soon unless some big meteor or something totally devastating happens in the twinkle of an eye that we have no tiem to prepare for.
I do not see that happening with all of todays technology... but.. that is just me.
All of the different theories are fascinating and I've delved into a number of them- aliens, polar switches, galactic alignments, solar flares, the second coming. Lots of different ideas all corresponded to the same year gives me pause to the credibility of such theories. If nothing else it will provide an excellent excuse to party.
when one thing end another begins. look at history look at the time when magic true love myth and legends where true they end but in some shape and forum they all ways move on. its the cycle of life and its the way of things. i believe in 2012 the world is going to get a rude awaking and they are going to realize the errors of there ways and start new with the old ways. for in a way mankind is like the phinox.
how often do you read articles from junk science that state," we where wrong , back to the drawing board, data can be skewed to attract grant request.
Sadly legit qualified scientist, and astronomers have been caught up in academic goose chases.
That is true dabbler- there is more that we don't know than what we do know.
I think it is the dawning of a new age. Not an "ending" but a new "beginning."
Yes, you are on the right track there. Take the History channel for instance. There are a lot of shows aired there that contain tons of information you won't usually find anywhere else. Most of the time the facts are skewed and edited to make the show seem to make more of a point, but the truth is we really know nothing. Money talks, regardless of the information given out to attain it. People who want money like that don't care what the public believes to be true and not true. That's what the government specializes in. Controlling the information given to the masses. That's how to take control of people, keep them in the dark and they will listen to you. That's why just so recently in history so many uprisings are common than a few hundred years ago. People are expanding in knowledge and are noticing when the gov. hides something. I'm not saying the gov. is hiding anything about 2012. I don't see any reason why they need to. It's all about our beliefs on some information gathered from some old texts and artifacts. It would be nice to get the information all laid out in front of us with no lies or alterations to the findings. Then we could all decide for ourselves.
Well, we have had the bronze age, the golden age, what next... The Silver Age? I am quite eager to see both the improvements and or the faults of civilization coming to a head. All I have to say is... Its about time.
My opion is that the world will not come to an end but there will be a change. This could be a sml or large event that will change the way we live.
Or with the pressure, hype and all the: "archaeological findings/interpretations" rounding that date as well as "prophecies", this could be the best weapon/tool for an "induced"change, since half of the planet is ...... as ..../.
Half =is just un-numerical certainty just personal un/exaggeration in assertion.
There is no reason to believe horrible things will happen in 2012. Things change, civilization goes through upheavals and the magnetic poles have drifted in the past.
We can probably be certain that magnetic poles will shift. The interesting question isn't if it will happen in 2012, but how a shifting pole and changing magnetic fields will affect our civilization.
Earth's magnetic fields protect us from cosmic radiation. Compasses will work differently, but, magnetic north isn't at the north pole now. The bigger question is how varying amounts of cosmic radiation will affect the atmosphere and what impacts it may have on food production due to changes in plant growth. Also may affect us directly. The cosmic radiation may just kill us.
