What’s your viewpoint or predictions for December 21, 2012?

I predict the Mayans were wrong, but my prediction could be wrong. ;)

God willing, that will be when we start winding down from the party that started when Obama was voted out of office the previous month.

I'm sure alcohol will be involved. The only chance of 12/21/12 having any significance is if it is a self-fulfilling prophecy and enough people get paranoid about it an go nuts. Technically, most don't even understand the Mayan calendar, it doesn't mean the world ends, it just starts over, the same way ours does ever December 31st, in this case, it is a full circle of the constellations. I doubt too many Christians are into astrology to give this even a second thought.

I’m not real religious but didn’t Christ say:

Be Prepared, you do not know when the Lord will come.

It does appear we are reaching some type of quickening.

Cloning, transgenics, Islam, Genetic Engineering, etc.

The Cult of the Sub-Genius predicted that X-Day would happen on July 5th (in the 1990s) when aliens attacked us while recovering from 4th of July celebrations.

We will not know the time or the hour. He will come like a thief in the night.

Anyone that claims to know when the end of the world will occur is full of baloney.

“The numeric predictions of the Mayan calendar are based on the computation of the Mayan value of pi whose value is more reliable than any European pi”

I call B.S.

when would YOU stop writing out a calendar? Would YOU go on for ever? Maybe they just thought printing out 1000 years of calendars in advance was enough!

personally, I use the http://www.bornagain.tv calendar anyway

All this “Mayan Calendar” nonsense reminds me of all the Y2K crap. It’s just another way for somebody to try to make a buck off the ignorant among us.

Firstly, Christians need to be attentive to prophecies found in the Scriptures, not a pagan society.

Secondly, the prophecies of the "Last Days" as found in the Old and New Testaments bear a striking resemblance to todays events.

The regathering of the nation of Israel is an example. The Messianic prophecies surrounding the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth are incredible.

It's the difference b/w a 3yo playing Putt-Putt and Tiger Woods at the Masters. The 3yo might get lucky and drop one. Tiger knows what he is doing.

12/21/12: The date for which the official calendar keeper decided “that’s far enough. If someone wants the calendar to go longer than that, they can damn well do it themselves.”
