2012 has been in several prophecies from trusted prophetic voices for a few years now. Interesting. Hope it’s 2112 and then I’ll be outta here long time!
I’ve seen 2012 mentioned quite a bit, from many different angles — besides from a Christian standpoint. But, I know that we’re not told exactly when it’s going to be, from the Bible (for the beginning of the Tribulation period, that 7-year period of time, just prior to the 1,000 year reign of the Messiah of Israel). We are shown what things will be like in that time period, but not the exact time. Jesus indicates that we will know the season of the “time of the end” (which is the time period going into the Tribulation and leading into the Millennial reign of Christ on earth). So, we’ll definitely be able to see the time period we’re in, although not the exact time these things will happen.
So, it may be 2012, or earlier, or later. But, I would say it wouldn’t be too much longer than a decade or so from now. Since God won’t allow the destruction of Israel, the closer the Islamic nations come to actually being able to destroy Israel, it’s that much closer to all these things happening right away.
There’s no one who is going to be able to say what year this is all going to come about, other than a lucky guess on their part. It’s simply not given in the Bible, even though it’s apparent, according to what the Bible indicates, that this is the time period that these things are going to happen.
All I can say about it, is to be ready for this to all come about — in an instant, maybe tomorrow or next week — up to a few years from now. It can happen at any instant, from now forward...
