Some people have been proclaiming on the web & news that the world could possibly end in the year 2012. Why are they saying this? Well for several reasons. Apparently the Mayans (an ancient civilization that was highly advanced) made an extensive calendar. The calendar stops at the year 2012. Why? Who knows. Also, there are claims that the universe will have some very rare alignments during this year.
Some people are claiming that the Mayans (known for their advanced astronomy), must have seen something in the universe or stars that indicated the world would end. Perhaps it could be the end of the world, or the great Armageddon or apocalypse?
So Does the Bible Mention Anything About the Year 2012?
The Bible talks about the end of time, but does not give an exact year. In fact, the last chapter in the King James Version of the Holy Bible deals with the end of the world. In Revelation, we are given a glimpse into some of the huge things that take place. God allows satan & the antichrist to roam earth, there are great plagues, famines, wars, and more. Eventually, this Earth as we know it is destroyed, and a new Heaven & a new Earth are created for us to dwell with Christ for eternity.
But what about this 2012? Could the world really end in the year 2012? Well, it is definitely possible. But rest assured, the Bible tells us repeatedly that not even the angels in Heaven know the exact time of the end. Only the Father who is in Heaven. So the Mayans did not likely have any inside information that the angels would not have known.
Even so, maybe they did have the year correct. After all, maybe they didn’t know they exact time, but a general year?
Even Worse than 2012: What if the World Ends Before You Stop Reading This?
People often get caught up in end time prophecy, and psychic predictions. But forget about 2012 or any other prediction. What if the world ends before you stop reading this? It’s possible! So don’t get wrapped up in the end times predictions. Instead, live your life to the fullest. Be at peace with God, and ready to stand in front of Him for judgement at any time.
Sometimes I like to imagine that I am standing before Almighty God. I imagine that I am getting judged. If I feel like I have sins that I have committed & I may not pass judgement, then that tells me that I need to repent, and change my ways. I want my time of judgement before God to be a wonderful moment of joy. Not terrible misery & sadness. I do this because I know I may die at any time. Only God knows when, where, & how I will die. And only God knows when the end will come.
For the Bible clearly indicates, that just as in the times of Noah people were laughing, celebrating, and even marrying right before the world flood, so will people be before the end of the world. People will not realize the world will end. Christ will come as a thief in the night comes. You won’t have any idea it is coming. That is why you must be prepared NOW. It could happen at any time, or you could have some freak accident & die at any time.
Life is fickle, and everyone will have their appointed time to die. Are you prepared for death? Do you feel you could stand God’s Holy judgement?
