I really wish people would translate properly. It does not mean "the end of time" it means "the end of the time". Our calendar resets every 365.25 (roughly) days and the world doesn't end - the Mayan calander is just longer, much longer.
On Dec, 2012 the Earth will cross the galactic equinox, we'll be "below" the midline of the milky way, not above it anymore..but since the Earth exists for an astonishing 4,5 billion years, the Earth survived this 'divine event' more than 150,000 times already without incident.
I am greatly anticipating Dec 2012. There will be so many nutjobs running around panicking. Going to be some great entertainment.. ragardless of the outcome. |

On Dec, 2012 the Earth will cross the galactic equator, we'll be "below" the midline of the milky way, not above it anymore..but since the Earth exists for an astonishing 4,5 billion years, the Earth survived this 'divine event' more than 150,000 times already without incident.

What is the deal with the rumor of all the planets being aligned with the sun, if this is true I know it will not cause disaster but is this fact or fiction? |

nothing happens out of coincidence:
Sept 11th (NY)
Jan 11th (Haiti) and
March 11th (Japan)
Luke 21: 10-11 Then Jesus said to his diciples: "Nations will rise against nations, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Jesus says for behold I come quickly. So, as...k yourself "Am I ready?" |

It's a real event that happened thousands of times already, maybe just not in your lifetime... Basically the Sun will move to a unique spot in the sky..and hold still for a while, since it is solstice day. The Sun will sit precisely on the crossroads between the Milky Way and the galactic equinox, forming a perfect alignment with the center of the galaxy.
Anyway.. the Maya never predicted anything concrete about 2012. And even if they did, we wouldn't know because when the Spanish ransacked their land, they burnt literally every Maya book they could find. Only a handful of scriptures survived. And in them, there's not a clue about what happens when the Maya calendar ends.
All I know is that the Maya didn't really believe in endings.. their conception of time was circular, with every end being the beginning of something new. So, 2012 shouldn't be an exception. |

You're in' kidding right? The whole nations vs. nations and kingdom vs. kingdom thing can describe any point in time from when those words were written to the end of humanity. People were predicting the end of time based on that verse back in the tenth century. |

The book of revelation is a little creepy. Something that always bothered me was the part about the 'angel trumpets' signaling the onset of the disasters. Makes me think of this |

Revelation is nothing more then a metaphore for the Christian's struggle against the oppression of Rome and a letter to the Christian community of the day to stay resolute. The book is full of code and allusion that would have been very clear to Christians of the first century. The seven headed serpant is Rome, the Beast is Nero (more generally the Emperor), etc... So no need to be feaked out about the first century equivilant to Chicken Soup for the Christian Soul. |

| When 10,000 bolts of lightning strike one city in the same day, then I'll raise an eyebrow. So far nothing out of the ordinary has happened anywhere on earth. It's still the same bull :o |
