Do you believe in the "2012 End of the World Prophecy"?

[KateradeTurdoFo'Sho']

Just curious. A friend of mine and I were discussing this last night, and I just wanted to see how many people believe that this will come to pass, and how many believe it will not.
I don't necessarily believe this at all, but my friend has something interesting information. It's not just the mayan civilization that predicted this.

I don't know, it's just an intriguing topic. Where the eff is Dan Brown when you need him?

I don't know, aliens or humanoid beings sucking the mayans up into thin air before telling them that a cosmic boom is going to kill off the human race seems plausible to me....

If you have ever been to the Georgia guidestones you will know there is a prohpecy that the world will end on 22nd Dec 2012.
The last issue of WIRED had a great article on them and the background.
It is unusual for predictions to be so precise, which make them less than plausible. Any saect that warns against such things which then don't happen can claim to have saved the world....
And it is the probable release date of windows 8, so it may well come true...

The Bible clearly states that no man knows the timing and plans of God..

But look at it this way. The world ends for a person when they die. So the world is ending for many people as I write these words. 2012 will be the end of the world for a lot of people. Personally 2012 would be fine for me. I am 72 and I would like to see 2012. The key to then or now, is to be ready. If your heart belongs to Jesus, then whenever the end comes for you, you are ready.

The only downside as I see it, is that we only have a little time left to tell others about Jesus. We need to use more of our time being witnesses and less time being judges.

No.

I do not believe it and Dan Brown is likely busy composing his next fictional work. God bless.

No, Revelation (in the Bible) says what it's going to be like and when. Even if you don't believe that stuff, there's scientific PROOF that the world wont end then.

No, just because the mayans couldn't count past 2012 doesn't mean anything.

Sheesh. The prophecy -- which is basically just the end of the Mayan calendar -- doesn't even PREDICT that the world will end. It only predicts a major world change... which people have taken to mean *boom* no more Earth!
