What about 2012?

What about 2012?

There is a lot of chatter and interest in 2012 as being the date for the end of the world. This thinking has arisen from the ancient traditions of various cultures. The most famous of those traditions is the Mayan calendar, which predicts “the world will end” on Dec 21, 2012. Should this prediction be taken seriously and if so how does this prediction fit into Biblical prophecy? First let’s look more closely at the prediction. Here are a few quotes from various 2012 websites.

The Mayans believed the universal processes, like the 'breathing' of the galaxy, are cycles that never change. What changes is the consciousness of man that passes through it. Always in a process toward more perfection. Based on their observations, the Mayans predicted that from the initial date of the start of their civilization, 4 Ahau, 8 Cumku which is 3113 B.C., after one cycle being completed 5,125 years in their future, December 21st, 2012. The Sun, having received a powerful ray of synchronizing light from the center of the galaxy, would change its polarity which would produce a great cosmic event that would propel human kind to be ready to cross into a new era, The Golden Age. It is after this, that the Mayans say we will be ready to go through the door that was left by them, transforming our civilization based on fear to a vibration much higher in harmony. http://www.2012warning.com/mayan-prophecy-2012.htm

Although Dec 21, 2012 is the date of the end of the age in the Mayan calendar it does not mean anything spectacular is going to happen on that exact date. The Mayan elders say the calendar foretells Earth changes and changes in consciousness AND that they occur within a seven-year period of time around 2012…What is the biggest change in this seven years? A magnetic pole shift followed shortly by a physical pole shift. A physical pole shift is what destroyed Atlantis 13,000 years ago. Similarly, this would be a “big deal” today. Certainly it would qualify as Yogananda’s “you have no idea what a catastrophe is coming” event. The Hopis are joining with other indigenous peoples in Arizona in April 2009 to perform a sacred welcoming ceremony for our space ancestors. http://www.december212012.com/articles/mayan/2012_From_the_Mayan_Elders_Themselves.htm

21.12.2012. End of time. End of the world. The end of Mayan Long Count. The apocalypse. The end of Kali Yuga. The winter solstice 2012 is not just any solstice but the solstice of all solstices. It is the Great Solstice - a solstice of the precessional or Platonic year…The winter sun 2012 ushers into 72 days of upheavals in which the chaos following a destruction of the old order will reign before the new order is firmly set in place…Apocalyptic 42-day passage of earth though a black hole of time that will start with winter sun of 2012 requires the clarity and justice of all life on earth…It is the end of the world, as we know it. Earth will tremble, shake and rip open along all its latent and patent faults. It will be scorched from below and from above. The remaining ashes, which are not washed away by the churning seas, will be scattered in all directions by the four winds. Earth will turn inside out and upside down. The old lands will sink below and the new lands will rise above. It has been done many times before and it will be done yet again on 21.12.2012…One cannot fail to see clearly that such an alignment spells the end of the present order of things on 21.12.2012 http://www.endoftime2012.com/

According to many earth legends, such beings are supposed to return regularly, at the beginning and end of each time cycle, the 13,000 year half-point of our solar system's 26,000 year zodiacal orbit around galaxy centre. Because of conditions on our galactic orbit, these 13,000 year intervals or "worlds", seem to be separated by cataclysmic upheaval. According to the "calendar in stone" of the Great Pyramid, which describes the so-called "Phoenix Cycle" of our galactic orbit, the present time period ends (converted to our present calendar) in the year 2012 AD. http://www.rense.com/ufo5/undergiza.htm

There are various interpretations regarding the meaning of the 2012 date but as you see most agree that the old world will end and a new world will begin. Some also believe that around that date there will be many physical distresses upon the earth. Some even believe aliens, which we know to be demons, will return. Coinciding with the predictions from ancient cultures regarding 2012 are the predictions regarding Nibiru or planet x. Here is a sampling of some of the various information regarding the supposed planet x.

I contend that there's simply too much evidence that those who could and probably do know are preparing for a visit from Nibiru or Planet X in 2012 and most importantly February 21, 2013 when Nibiru will be at it's closest distance from the sun (2.85 AU). Worst of all that scenario puts planet earth between this brown dwarf and the Sun There will be amazing sprites and other such catastrophic events too numerous to count. 

An old Sumerian prophecy about the next time Nibiru passes: The great planet At his appearance, dark red The Heavens he divides in half And stands as Nibiru. If the Ram by Jupiter will be entered When Venus conjuncts the Moon, The watch will come to an end.Woes, trouble, confusion, & bad things will occur in the lands. People will sell their children for money; The ruler of Iran will be surrounded in his palace; There will follow the destruction of Iran & its people. Jupiter enters Aries on Jan. 26th of 2011; the Moon conjuncts Venus in Sagittarius a few days later. http://2012predictions.org/nibiru-2012-t67-10.html

Nibiru will first be seen by May 2009 as a faint reddish object. It will be moving up from below Earths Orbit. This means that until late 2009, the only way to see it is from a very southern location of Earth. By May of 2011, naked eye viewing by everyone. In December 2012 Nibiru will pass through the ecliptic plane, seen as bright star & will look as a 2nd sun around the size of our moon. Earthquakes and very bad weather will take place! The worst however comes about by February 2013, Earth moves between Nibiru and the sun. Pole shifting/Planetary tilt takes place! Great Earthquakes changes, Huge Mega Earthquakes and Mega Tsunamis worldwide! Then by July 2014, Nibiru no longer effects our world and moves on and away from our part of the galaxy. NASA knew about Nibiru and as not to panic the people made the decision to withhold the truth of this! http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message670651/pg1

In responding to these ideas from a Biblical perspective we must realize that the Mayan religion was satanic and that their prediction most likely had satanic origins. Therefore, as all satanic predictions go, some may be true and some may be false. Also the information regarding Nibiru or planet x and the predicted calamities and pole shift at this point in time is hard to prove one way or the other. Though let me mention that I believe there was a pole shift when Jesus was crucified on the cross, that is why the sun went down at 12 and came up at 3. http://thecomingepiphany.com/BookArticles/datecruc.htm

Are these predictions correct, will the world end in 2012? Most Christians consider the end of the world to regard the return of Jesus Christ to the earth at Armageddon. For the world to end in 2012 or the return of Christ at Armageddon to occur in 2012, that would have required the 70th Week to have begun in 2006, which did not occur. Thus we can say that the Biblical "end of the world" will not occur in 2012.

Pole Shift Rapture

Is it possible for the earth to experience a pole shift in the near future? I would like to state that the Bible records at least one pole shift in the past and that such an event is not necessarily cataclysmic. I can also tell you from scripture that there will be at least 1 and possibly 2 pole shifts in the near future and what they will entail and when they may occur.

I believe there is a clear indication of the occurrence of a pole shift when Jesus was crucified. This event is recorded in the Gospels.

And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. 46And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. 47Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. (Luke 23:44-47)

What happened here was that while Jesus was on the cross it became dark from noon to 3:00. There is much historical evidence to suggest that this was the result of a pole shift which caused the sun to set at noon. And then at 3:00 the sun came up again. There is also evidence that a world wide earthquake occurred at this time with heaving seas, again indicative of a pole shift. We also know from history that this was not a severe cataclysmic event. See the article entitled The Catastrophe at the Crucifixion AD 33.

As for the possibility of a future pole shift; I believe that scripture indicates that during the end times there will be at least one and possibly two pole shifts. The first will be at an event known as the rapture, when the Lord Jesus returns to earth to rescue Christians from the persecution of the antichrist. This is clearly recorded in Revelation 6.

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? (Rev 6:12-17)

I believe that the physical event that is being described here fits the description of what many conjecture will occur at a pole shift. And this seems to be a pretty severe one for it says that every mountain and island will be moved out of their places. A pole shift triggering a world wide earthquake of this magnitude is sure to do large scale damage.

It is interesting to note that a military insider said that after WWIII there will be a worldwide catastrophic geophysical event.

So we're going to head into this war, then after that... and I can't give you a timescale for when this is going to happen... there will be a geophysical event taking place on Earth which is going to affect everybody. When asked about the timing of the geophysical event he replied “Yes. I think they've got a good idea of when it's going to happen… between now and five years.[1]

I believe that the cataclysmic geophysical event will be the pole shift at the sixth seal events which will include the rapture.

The next pole shift is likely to occur at the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to the earth at the battle of Armageddon as described in this passage.

And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. (Rev 16:17-21)

This event describes, among other things a horrific worldwide earthquake that levels all the mountains of the world and destroys all the islands. This event is also preceded by horrific changes in the sun. That is the bad news; the good news is that one can escape both of these events by being part of the rapture.

BTW, the woo woo aliens referred to in the linked article are just demons trying to deceive people into believing the lies of the devil and the coming world ruler, the antichrist, to dam people to Hell.
