But, but, but...The doomsday prophecy, the ancient Maya predicted the end of the world would occur on Dec. 21, 2012...Oh wait, it’s 2017 isn’t it...Facts, they are so inconvenient.
I know, right?
The fact that they picked that date is pretty amazing for their long count calendar, given its solar system significance (crossing the plane of the galaxy) but the world does not end in the same way that it does not end every December 31.
You just start over again in Jan 1.
I don’t have much vested in that whole Mayan calendar thing, but the ridicule was just as overblown as the fear and hype. The end of their calendar meant the end of the age. Significance of an “age” ending to the Mayans seemed to have some negative connotation, but it’s still not entirely clear. However, they were very accomplished astronomers, and so seeing such a thing on their calendar prompted all manner of speculation, that we were about to enter an asteroid belt with a high likelihood of near-extinction events, that sort of occurrence. It also fed the Planet X or Nibiru thing too, which is a cottage industry unto itself on YouTube. It only stands to reason that some have rolled all that into one thing and applied Biblical Revelation to it, since it sounds more than a bit like an asteroid, the flaming mountain crashing into the sea and all that. Now, we have this so-called “Great Sign” of Revelation occurring tomorrow, tied in with Rosh Hashana. Yep, they’ve gone into overdrive. There have been more than a few peculiar things going on up there of late, you’ve got to admit, whether or not you attach any significance or not.
The NEW date is tomorrow — or not.
