...According to Paul Begley, a Christian evangelist and online personality from Indiana, US, the Mayan calendar will have another shot at getting it right on December 21, 2020.
Pastor Begley said: "Of course, the Mayan elders said this could have been the end of the world today. They might have made a mistake.
"Well, they obviously made a mistake on December 21, 2012, so they said maybe today would be the end of the world.
"And they made a prediction if this wasn't the end of the world today, certainly my birthday will come again.
"December 21, 2020, during the great conjunction when Jupiter and Saturn come within 0.1 degrees of one another and create the brightest star in the skies since the star of Bethlehem.
"It will be the closest Jupiter and Saturn have been since 1623 and it won't even come that closes again for another 500 years.
"So this is so rare and it's going to be on the winter solstice.
"It's going to be on December 21, 2020. The Mayans now reorganising and saying this could certainly be the end of the world as we know it."

I wonder if Daymond Duck’s distant relatives were Mayan? That would explain a lot.
Sigh..
I wonder why an “Evangelical Christian” would be dabbling in such things as Mayan Calendars and astrology? Will he try again on Dec 21, 2022? Third time’s a charm?
Why is this being posted...........?
Jesus tells Christians to read the signs of the times and to see storm clouds on the horizon. Don’t know where some Christians get the idea that they can predict exact days which only the Father can know. Gnosticism, an early Christian heresy in which people think they have secret knowledge, lives on. Christian fascination with predictions based on Mayan calendars, Nostradamus and the stars … Never have understood it.
Unfortunately, there is a widespread belief in fundamentalism and evangelicalism that the Bible is more or less a book of secret codes and if you can figure out some formula, you can predict the future. It’s less about what Christ did and more, I can prove I am really “saved” if I can correctly figure out the secret code in this here Bible verse.
Wasn’t this guy proven wrong Dec 22, 2020? Why post a false prophets’ predictions?
Judeo fantasy and mythology
I won’t speak for Cronos, but I think this was posted as an example of the wrong way to approach the Bible and the topic of Christ’s return. That the whole mentality and spirit behind such predictions is wrong, and not that his prediction was wrong so he should go back to working on an improved formula to predict the future.
The End Times are here again. Narcissism on parade.
That’s a VERY broad brush you using to paint with. Perhaps you should start a house painting business. Each house should take mere minutes to paint.
How many people are taught to anxiously look at the news and read some event into what they think the Bible should predict? How many “Christian” books are published about this or that “Bible Code”? How many “Prophetic Ministries” rake in the profits?
There was all this talk and hysteria over the end of the Mayan “long calendar”.
Funny how no one ever mentioned that the Mayans also had another “long calendar” to follow that one.
It was the end of one era and the beginning of the next.
Source please.
He probably has climate change mixed with the rapture so the end of the world date keeps changing.
Jesus said even He doesn’t know the time. Only the Father.
