Is The World Going To End On December 21st, 2012? (Doomsday Prophecy Prediction)
December 2nd, 2012 – Doomsday Prophecy Prediction December 21st, 2012: Is The World Going To End? When Will It Happen
Just about to retire for the day when I came across this controversial yet interesting article on Doomsday prediction 2012, a Mayan prediction citing the world is going to end on December 21st, 2012.
Though NASA scientists have predicted a total blackout on December 21st, 2012, they claim the world might not end on that day.

Will The World End On December 21st, 2012 As Predicted By Doomsday Prophets
Here is an interesting report on it.
19 days away, hysteria over the fate of our planet Earth on 21 December this year has been reported in some parts of the world, with Russia and France in the lead.
A solar flare: will the sun burn the earth out of extinction on 21 December, 2012?
Religious and very superstitious Nigeria is not yet betraying signs of apprehension over this date, which doomsday prophets said will mark the end of this world.
The prediction is based on an ancient hieroglyphic text by an ancient civilization, the Mayans based in the Guatemalan jungle in South America. An international team of archeologists who stumbled over new texts some months ago, further fueled the doomsday scenario, as the 1,300 year old inscription they found carved on a stone staircase at the ruins of La Corona also bears the end date: 21 December, 2012.
Though scholars have debunked the interpretation, saying the date was a reference to something else, and that other texts refered to events beyond 2012, the doomsday fears continue to seize the imagination, in some parts of the world.
The New York Times reported today about “scattered reports of unusual behavior from across Russia’s nine time zones.
“Inmates in a women’s prison near the Chinese border are said to have experienced a “collective mass psychosis” so intense that their wardens summoned a priest to calm them. In a factory town east of Moscow, panicked citizens stripped shelves of matches, kerosene, sugar and candles. A huge Mayan-style archway is being built — out of ice — on Karl Marx Street in Chelyabinsk in the south.
“For those not schooled in New Age prophecy, there are rumors the world will end on December 21, 2012, when a 5,125-year cycle known as the Long Count in the Mayan calendar supposedly comes to a close.
“Russia, a nation with a penchant for mystical thinking, has taken notice.
“Last week, Russia’s government decided to put an end to the doomsday talk. Its minister of emergency situations said Friday that he had access to “methods of monitoring what is occurring on the planet Earth,” and that he could say with confidence that the world was not going to end in December.
“He acknowledged, however, that Russians were still vulnerable to “blizzards, ice storms, tornadoes, floods, trouble with transportation and food supply, breakdowns in heat, electricity and water supply.”
“Similar assurances have been issued in recent days by Russia’s chief sanitary doctor, a top official of the Russian Orthodox Church, lawmakers from the State Duma and a former disc jockey from Siberia who recently placed first in the television show “Battle of the Psychics.” One official proposed prosecuting Russians who spread the rumor — starting on December 22.
“You cannot endlessly speak about the end of the world, and I say this as a doctor,” said Leonid Ogul, a member of Parliament’s environment committee. “Everyone has a different nervous system, and this kind of information affects them differently. Information acts subconsciously. Some people are provoked to laughter, some to heart attacks, and some — to some negative actions.”
“Russia is not the only country to face this problem.
“In France, the authorities plan to bar access to Bugarach mountain in the south to keep out a flood of visitors who believe it is a sacred place that will protect a lucky few from the end of the world. The patriarch of Ukraine’s Orthodox Church recently issued a statement assuring the faithful that “doomsday is sure to come,” but that it will be provoked by the moral decline of mankind, not the “so-called parade of planets or the end of the Mayan calendar.”
However as the New York Times reported, the apprehension about 21 December is not noticeable among the large Mayan population in Yucatán State in Mexico.
“Most place little stock in end-of-days talk”.
Indeed, officials are planning a Mayan cultural festival on Dec. 21 and, to show that all will be well after that, a follow-up in 2013.
In Guatemala itself, more than half of the population who are of Mayan descent are reportedly angry with their government over the misinterpretation of their ancient calendar, with its distortion as a ‘prophet of doom’.
Ian O’Neill in a report 26 October published by Discovery News, said Mayan leaders have “accused the Guatemalan government of perpetuating the myth that the Mayan Long Count calendar predicts the end of the world for financial gain”
“We are speaking out against deceit, lies and twisting of the truth and turning us into folklore-for-profit. They are not telling the truth about time cycles”, the AFP quoted Felipe Gomez, leader of the Maya Alliance Oxlaljuj Ajpop.
The Oxlaljuj Ajpop said in the report by O’Neill, that the end of the cycle simply means “there will be big changes on the personal, family and community level, so that there is harmony and balance between mankind and nature”.
It certainly does not mean that the world will come to an end and that everyone who isn’t prepared will die.
To buttress the charge by Mayans that their government was promoting the doomsday theory for profit, the Guatemalan culture ministry is hosting a ‘doomsday event in Guatemala city on 21 December, with many tourism groups seizing the opportunity to create ‘doomsday tours.’
Oxlaljuj Ajpop condemned the festival as disrespectful to the Mayan culture.(Read more by clicking: https://news.discovery.com/human/mayans-pissed-off-about-doomsday-diceit-121026.html)
It means that here in Nigeria, we do not really need to be bothered by the Mayan frenzy and the 21 December doomsday jitters. Life continues beyond the date. The 21 December doomsday is a big scam, promoted for pecuniary gains.
Let’s therefore prepare for a grand celebration in Christmas and the New Year of 2013. (source)
NASA scientists have predicted a total black out on December 21st, 2012 still unsure if it’s going to happen.
Do you believe the world is really going to end on December 21st, 2012 as predicted ?
Is there any biblical reference for it? Let’s discuss

That is not true….The word of God (Bible) says nobody knows the time except the almighty God. The earth and its fullness belong to God.

Those saying the world will end on 21st Dec. 2012 are nothing but bundles of unbelivers. So far they are not God. Quran had made it clear that no single living soul, the prophets knew when the world will end. So the unbeliever, the fake prophets should just m***er himself if the world exists beyond 21st Dec. 2012.

In the Bible, no 1 knws d day,date,month even d year d end of d world wil occur. Jesus himself does not knw talkless of d angels in heaven, except our Lord (GOD) d creator of d universe knws d moment. I think diz threat wil make some move closer to God while some wil not yield 2 d threat. I pray God wil give us His children d grace 4 us 2 work, walk acording to His comandment. SHALOM.

GOD is not a man that he should lie, Neither is a son of man that he should repent…..
No where in the Bible that specifically mention the Day that the world will come to an End,
Even Our Lord Jesus Christ the only Saviour of the universe did not know The Day, The Time, and The Hour of the world end..
All these prophesies are just human philosophy… Nobody knows GOD Timetable. Thanks

The world and all it contains will not remain the way it is forever, it will definitely come to an end. But, one thing will always stand in such an issue as this “God is the only one to determine when this world should come to an end, not one properly so-called Doomsday prophet. Additionally, on the day a man dies his Jesus i.e end of the world has come for it is only when one is still alive that repentance is said to be valid. Such a deception should instead make us to move more closer to God than ever before than to scared us away from Him.
