It is also the date the biblical calendar sets as the end of the 6th millennial day and the year that Tibetan monk prophecies focus on.
The prophecies of St. Malachi predicts 2012 to be the year of the end of age.
Ptolemy believed 2012 to be the dawn of the age of Aquarius.
Jewish Sages say that 2012 to be the year of redemption.
The list goes on.
2012 should be and interesting year.
Guess if you lose, we ALL do.
I’ll take that bet but, will need your account records and pin numbers to verify.
“NASA scientists are sick of being asked if the world is going to end in 2012”
Why would anyone ask these fools? They have no credibility whatsoever.
Do you work for Nasa?
“2012 is also the end of the Sumerian calendar, Cherokee calendar, Aztec calendar and the Jubilee calendar.”
So, all these groups and more are/were prophetic liberals whose conceptual world ends when 0bama leaves office? What a tragedy for them.
Is this the equivalent of CNN fact checking SNL?
I have a calendar on my desk that ends on December 31, 2009.
So what does that mean?
I, for one, would hate to see the kind of behavior that would come from the people who believe the world will end in 2012 in the months leading up to it. You think it’s bad now? If Godless people think they have nothing to lose, they’ll literally act like there’s no tomorrow - much like Obama is spending now.
Could you provide a source for that please? I Googled "tibetan buddhism prophecies end of world 2012" and all I found was a humorous, but serious, debunking of the idea that any Buddhist prophecy indicates an end to the world in 2012. It is somewhat long and detailed but the following two paragraphs sum up the author's conclusion.
The good news is, a few pages down, the Kalachakra tantra is supposed to last at least another 150 years on earth, or longer. This is good. It also says that Rudracakrin, the future 25th Rigden king of Shambhala, is living in the south -- perhaps in Goa? Mysore? Boca Raton?I don't mean to make light of this prophecy. It definitely means something, many possible things, with regard to the world of facts (snang) and possibilities (srid). But as the first Kongtrul was known to say, prophecies are difficult to trust...they don't come true unless many conditions are fulfilled. So we don't need to let the world go to hell in a handbasket just yet.
(bolding is mine)
But nowhere did I say that "Buddhist prophecy indicates an end to the world in 2012."
In fact nowhere in my post did I mention that end of the world.
Look at my post again.
OK, fair enough about the end of the world thing. Still, I didn’t find any notable Tibetan Buddhist prophecies for 2012. Just wondering what your source for that is.
Arrrgh!I don’t wanna die when I’m only 36!!!
