It could be December 20th, 2012 for all we know. Or not.
We have to repent and believe upon Jesus Christ and then live every single day like He could return any moment. The parable of the wise and foolish virgins in Matthew 25:1-13 instructs us in this.
The virgins who were wise were not called that because they knew the time of the bridegroom’s return (both groups were asleep), but they were ready with oil for their lamps. They had been prepared for his coming.
Likewise, we are “asleep” in much the same way - we’re unaware of the exact time of the return of the Lord (although I would say there are signs of his return). He wants us to be ready.
If The Star, The Globe, The National Enquirer and Shirley McClain say it will end, then I’ll believe it./sarc
I swear I once saw Ringo Starr at a bus stop in Gillette, Wyoming.
according to my Bible, only God knows what will be or not be. why on earth would anyone believe a bunch of pagans would have a clue? the mayans so called “advanced” civilization was nearly wiped out by spaniards carrying highly advanced (for the time period) weapons and diseases. did the mayans see that coming? nope. so why should anyone think they have some great psychic insight into the rest of eternity? and as for merlin...feh, he makes for good legend and fiction but if he really existed at all he was just another kook looking for attention.
Check back on December 13th.
No.
But we are all going to die.
Everyone you know is also going to die.
Everything you own will be destroyed.
It’s just a question of when.
So we should worry about gullible warming if we know that the world has ended at least 18 since the second gunman shot Kennedy from the grassy knoll?
If it is, then with my luck I’m going to win the Mega Millions Lottery on December 20...
Maybe it’s a last chance. Either we shape up or God gives up.
For the past billion years (and over two hundred in this country alone) God has given mankind one thing after another, nonstop.
For the past 60-70 years we’ve been throwing all He gives in His face and then some. He’s given chance after chance after chance for us to do right and we’ve squandered it.
I’m really gonna be steamed if it pre-empts the NFL Playoffs.
Yes.
No. I'll bet a million dollars on it. Any takers?
Nope, but it might be when the Anti-Christ arrives.
But it may be when the antiChrist commitsNO !

The Mayans as a civilization NEVER left the Copper Age. So, they never progressed into the bronze or iron ages.
Their mathematics were unbelievably primitive. They had no knowledge of fractions--and their astrological "predictions" were wildly inaccurate -- huh? ---really?
Yes, indeed. If you want to see a superior ancient society in action, check out the Greeks -- then the Romans.
So what did the Greeks do?
Invented the concept of the infinitely small (infinitesimal) and the infinitely large (infinity). Perhaps more than any other civilization, we are indebt to the Greeks for their advancement of mathematics and mathematical knowledge. It was the Greeks who first advocated the concept of proof - that a thing was not knowable unless it could be proved to be so. For the Greeks, mathematics took on a more esoteric pursuit, with puzzle solving (like calculating the diameter of the earth to amazing accuracy) was simply for the sake of solving the puzzle. They had a thorough understanding of fractions, Pi, and discovered irrational numbers.
The Romans took the Greek theoretical knowledge and gave it a practical bent with mastery of Pi as seen in the arch, barrel vault and dome.
Mayan mathematics was based on superstition, NOT on any discoveries that advanced their knowledge.
We should be so lucky.
