      The Bible states that no one but He knows when the world is going to end - not even Jesus Christ, Himself. As far as the world ending in 2012, that is all Hype. I feel that we are in the end times. Not because of some Mayan calendar, but because all of the Bible Prophesies are coming true faster than ever before.

    End of time?  Maybe, depending upon your definition of TIME
      End of time does not necesarily mean the end of existence.

      New beginning? I think definately.
      The old will have to decrease in order for the new to increase
      What that means? I do not know with any certainty.

      I agree, the world is not coming to an end in 2012. In the bible in revelations jesus told his deciples that he will return. The deciples asked him when will the world end. jesus answered only his father knows when the world will end and jesus himself does not know.

    Well, if the world comes to an end we, among the many human beings who have existed on this planet, will be the only people to find out how everything turns out.  Not much consolation but it's something.

    Besides, it's a perfect chance for an end-of-the-world party.  In fact, I've already written a hub about it.

    Yes, and the Bible also says that raped virgins should be put to death, so you'll forgive those of us who are reluctant to buy it's every statement.

    You feel like we are in the End Times.  So has every single other generation for the last 2,000 years, each of whom pointed to the exact same events in their time that you're using to justify your End Time theories.

    From the Mayan perspective, the reason the calendar "ends" on Dec 21, 2012 is because the buys new calendars from Halmark at the end of all their years, ages, and "Great Cycles," (a period of roughly 26,000 years).  They just started back at the beginning. Yes, 2012 will be the end of the Mayan calendar...at which point we just reset the same calendar back to the beginning, not start drinking the Kool-aid.

    As for what Jesus himself and Paul had to say about the end, perhaps you'd like to wade into what C.S. Lewis deemed "the most embarrassing phrases in the Bible": that Jesus believed he was returning in the generation of people living at the time.  Paul was under the same impression, advising people that the Return was so nigh that it was best if people refrained from getting married any longer.  Numerous Biblical passages from several different authors warn of a Return and End within their lifetimes. Paul was wrong.  Jesus was wrong.  Everyone who's ever believed it SINCE then has been wrong.  And people will probably CONTINUE to be wrong a very long time until we finally make this a self-fulling set of prophecies, blowing ourselves to kingdom come because we can't agree on the correct interpretation of some hazy, abstract, biblical End Times mumbo-jumbo.

    The Bible is clear that the world will not come to an end in 2012. Here's how you can know for certain. You need to keep in mind that I believe in the "literal" translation of the Bible. I believe that what God says in the book He means.

    The 2nd coming of Jesus Christ is still in our future, 2012 will not be the destruction of the world. 2012 could be a time of great distress on earth however, we'll have to wait and see on that.

    You see once the Lord returns to earth for the 2nd time the Bible teaches that He will rule and reign on this earth for 1,000 years, this is called the Mellenial Regin of Christ, you can find this in Revelation 19 and 20. Actually Revelation 19 is the picture of the war to end all wars that ties into Zechariah 12-14 or the War of Armegeddon that will be fought in the valley of Megiddo, the Jezreel Valley in Israel.

    This war will be so bad that 50% of the world entire population will be destroyed and the blood of the slain will run up to the horses bridles see Revelation 14:20. This is why it's so important to know and yeild ones heart, soul and spirit to Yeshua (Jesus Christ) today!

    World, sleep well because we will still be here on this earth come 2012, this I can promise you because the Bible says so and the Bible, God's living Word is never wrong.

             Just happened to check in to see what's happening.
          I supposed you asking me? I was referring to those scripture that Jesus was prophesying. It should be clear as to when Jesus was clearly making a statement of fact, and when that fact was expressed in parable form. The parables were not difficult to understand as stated. BUT this seems to be the best excuse available to "INTERPRET"  those things that do not fit into an existing belief system.  Rather than to alter their belief it is more convenient to alter the words of Christ. 
              It is my opinion that A professing Christian should believe everything that Jesus said exactly as he said them.
              I can not stress enough the words of 2ND Peter 1:20  that we are not to interpret prophesy in scripture.
              But people do.  This is the cause of our confusion.

      Well there's a problem with that for some of us. Jesus never wrote a syllable that is recorded in the Bible, and therefore, what he is quoted as saying could have been "interpreted", thus introducing contextual errors.

      I'm just sayin'.

          You are exactly correct and I think about that often when referencing "what he said".  I'm just saying that if anything at all is to be believed in scripture ; we should believe those things that God, Jesus, and Gabriel are quoted as saying. If we can not believe these things to be true? then what are we supposed to believe? These quotes is what I have as the foundation of my belief system.

              I do believe that to understand these end time prophesy in an uninterpretated perseption ...  scripture becomes very understandable from beginning to end. I think that it might even make better sence to you.  what cha think?

    i recently heard a theory, i guess it could be called that. well anyway, i read that this end times will yield whatever results one expects. so if you believe absolutely nothing will happen and life will continue as usual. this is what you will experience.  however, i believe that earth, or at least our perception of it, will diverge or break into at least 2 distinct and separate realities.
    i've heard the comparison of earth as a group of marbles on a sheet (we are all the individual marbles) and there are so many different levels of soul advancement throughout the worlds souls so around 2012 its like a bump will be hit, a bump that will knock us marbles up and when we come back down we will find that place that most naturally matches our own vibration.
    i don't know that 12-21-2012 will be the exact date. i've actually read a lot and lean a bit more toward october of 2011, that will herald the real beginning of the changes we and earth will be experiencing. 2012 the culmination.
    i can't wait for 2013, no matter if something drastically affects our material reality or not many people will be deeply changed after this predicted end date. and with so much change inside of men due to this prediction, well, you know how they say: as above so below, as below so above.
    its a fractal MULTIverse and i'm glad i and so many others are finding this easy to understand these days. smile

    Again people don't use logic & common sense, neither do they research what they allegedly claim to believe in. The Bible doesn't mention "the world coming to an end" or it "coming to an end in 2012". First, The Bible conveys that "man's rule over man will come to an end". Second, the "New Earth" spoken about in Isaiah, 2 Peter, & Revelation will come about by regeneration of the Holy Spirit: 1st by fire consuming everything; 2nd by water replenishing everything. For 2 Peter 3:10 syas: "the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the [surface of] earth and the works that are in it will be burned up..." Understand this "fire" & "water" are both literal & figurative representations of God's active power.

    Also, this December 12 (some says 22nd), 2012 crap comes from the Mayans astrological beliefs that the world is on a cycle. Their calender cycle ENDS IN DECEMBER 2012! In elementary words:that's basically ALL they meant. But humanity's fixation on "doom and gloom" and "prophetic date setting" has confused the situation.

    When it all boils down, religious date setting by people is NOT their genuine attempt to warn others of impending danger, but rather the desire to be "the first TO GET IT RIGHT". Why? Well, because fortune & fame WILL DEFINITELY follow anyone who accurately sets a date that was fulfilled. The Bible tells us that "the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil".

      There is enough information in scripture for us to determine Many things.  The timelines mentioned in scripture are given for a purpose. If not to figure out when these things are to come to fulfillment then "WHY" was that information given?

      Most people don't know thw definitions of ceratain words connected to the end times. Secondly, they aren't following the texts that they read to their conclusion. "A new heaven and a new earth will be formed" Frankly, there isn't enough time for this to all happen before 2012, further, the Mayan calendar is circular and once the final Baktun has ended the cycle begins again. Nostradamus saw to the year 3000, supposedly. It's all hype and misdirection. 2012 is BS

        I believe that the Mayan calendar is simply that.
        Like ours has an ending date of Dec. 31 every year. And the earth cycle repeats self.

          Their calendar is similar except it indicates the end of an 26000  year cycle that repeats itself. We had an ice age in the middle of the last cycle; I wonder if the earth can expect another one?

           My calculations have nothing to do with anything but biblical prophesy.  There are many indicators as to what these are referencing when we take the time to analyze what they are saying.
          Instead everyone wants to make an easy interpretation and make up just any old answer and save themselves the trouble of studying and analyzing what is actually written.

    In response to Jerami's comment:

    What is your point in quoting this verse? "It does say that the birds are going to eat the flesh of "ALL"  men.  And every mountain and island will be moved out of their place." It has nothing to do with "the world ENDING".

    Perhaps we all need to define in our own words what "the end of the world" means. For 1) Find me a verse in the Bible that says "the world will cease to exist" and I'll shut my mouth. 2) The Bible is clear about man's EVIL reign OVER man WILL come to an END. Can anyone discredit that according to the Bible? I doubt it.

    Also, you're delusional if you don't think false ministers "setting dates" in their books & videos don't make MONEY before the set date can come to pass. In addition, even before a false prophet's erred prophetic date can come to pass, SOME people DO BELIEVE them. Now understand cause & effect. If someone DOES set a prophetic date for, let's say--a earthquake to kick half of California into sea, and it HAPPENS ON that DATE, then, COMMON SENSE says that others alive WILL believe this person's words and likely BUY his books, pamphlets, & videos while coming to his PAID seminars, while giving his church TITHES & DONATIONS.
    That would be a logical scenario if a person was the FIRST TO GET IT RIGHT.

    Like Dave Barnett said "2012 is B(ull)S(hit)".

    The earth will not cease to exist. Man's dominion over man will cease to exist. However, the earth's surface & atmosphere will be cleansed by divine fire and then will be refurbished by supernatural means.

    Please stick to logical interpretations based on proven or provable realities.

    And to you Beelzedad, you're either daft or in denial because I made a logical summation: "...December 12 (some says 22nd), 2012 crap comes from the Mayans astrological beliefs that the world is on a cycle. Their calender cycle ENDS IN DECEMBER 2012!"  Logic is based is factual reason. Do your homework on the Mayans and you'll see I have spoken logically...and that's a fact.

         I was talking about "Getting It" right concerning the end of the world as we know it.  By the time someone gets that one right it will be too late for him to make any money.

         This event that the Mayans speak of, in my opinion ( from the solar systems' prospective),   is kinda like our spring equinox ; A brand new season. You can just see life change around you.

    I agree with your perspective on the spring equinox example--that's logical reasoning. But you misunderstood my original dissent: 1) the Biblical evidence refuting the end of the world & 2) WHY people SET PROPHETIC DATES. These two (2) arguments where distinct in my one (1) dissent.

    Again understand what was said:
    "When it all boils down, religious date setting by people is NOT their genuine attempt to warn others of impending danger, but rather the desire to be "the first TO GET IT RIGHT". Why? Well, because fortune & fame WILL DEFINITELY follow anyone who accurately sets a date that was fulfilled."

    That is one essential of the bottom line.
    You said in response to me, "I was talking about "Getting It" right concerning the end of the world as we know it." And my original argument was (and still is) that deceived people set dates on "disasters" for their "desire to be the first [person]" to be seen "as genuine & authentic".

    My first rebuttal debunked the end of the world idea; logically my second rebuttal would NOT tag the "end of the world" to my debunking of why some people set prophecy dates for disasters. It seems there was just a misunderstanding of what I said. As you can see, my position remains EXACTLY THE SAME. Two arguments distinct in representation but conveyed in one protest.

    And I still agree with you  "in part" 
    I can run down the list and tell you when where every one of the prophesy occured. But you are not going to beleive me unless you already had a predespension to do so.

      That is what it is all about.
      Our predespension establishes our destiny.
      Unless our faith is in something greater than our self, we gotta do it by ourself. We cain't cross that bridge by ourself with out some help.

      He/it is not going to help us to do that unless we give it to him.
       I don't meah 99.9% of it 
       I can give you my hankerchif but if I hold onto "just" an itty bitty corner of it; You can not take it any where. Cain't do anything with it.  It's kinda like that.

         But NO! Just cause somebody does figure it out don't mean he/she wants to get rich.     If Ya really figure it out????  You are goina know that ya caint take those riches with ya!
    They got no value, "IF" ya really figure it out!!

    If you're referring to already fulfilled prophesies, I'll believe your list as long as they square with the key players in scriptures, supported by related verses, occurred in a year credited by reputable scholars to be valid, and equate to logic. As far as future prophecies that depends on your interpretations of past prophesies.

      You are absolutely correct.
         Future prophesy????   That is easy..  There are only One trumpet judgment(7th) , one vial judgment(7th); the two prophets being killed and the final battle according to scripture.

        History is easy to read.  Any body can do that.
