Many people believe in the popular belief that the world is going to end on December 21, 2012. Is the world really going to end in 2012? It's unlikely, but we know that we've all heard about the predictions. There has even been a movie about the end of the world in 2012, but is it really going to happen?
The Mayans made a prediction of the date of the end of the world. They had a deep understanding of mathematics and sciences like astrology. They were the first society to understand the concept of zero. The Mayans used math and astrology to form a 365 day calander. This Mayan calander so happens to end on the day of December 21, 2012. Some people believe that December 21, 2012 is the end of the world, while others jokingly laugh at the absurd and unusual belief.
Another prediction of the end of the world on this same date was made by Michel de Nostredame. Nostredame predicted that some huge space collision would end the world around 2000. If PlanetXNibiru is real, it may be heading towards the earth. It could potentially produce a huge tsunami and wipe out nearly everyone on earth.
In 1132 St. Malachy had a vision. Malachy saw descriptions of all of the popes that would serve until the end of the world. There was a total of 112 popes that were descripted to Malachy. These descriptions of the popes were all accurate, including the description of Pope Benedict XVI. The weirdest thing is, is that Pope Benedict the XVI is the 111th pope since 1132 when Malachy received the vision. The last pope is supposed to be an anti-christ. It is possible that there could be a new pope in 2012.
The Chinese also have a book called the "I Ching." This means the "ching" means book, and "I" means change, but "I" can also mean unchangeable. The "I Ching" book is a fortune telling book, and it has also been used as a prediction for finding the end of the world.
Four shocking predictions, but still no definative answer. Is December 21, 2012 the end like the four predictions above seem to say? I guess we'll never know. We'll just have to wait and see.

I liked your post especially last paragraphs. We should wait and see what is gonna happen. We don't know exactly when it comes
ReplyDeleteI like this post. I agree with King in that we should wait to see what happens, we have no idea what will happen. I hope the world doesn't end in 2012
ReplyDeleteThis post is really good, I think it's scary how all of the sudden there are a bunch of earthquakes and things too! I hope the predictions are wrong.
ReplyDeleteGood post!! I sure hope the world doesnt end in 2012. I don't want to spend my whole life in school!
ReplyDeleteThis post attempts to cover in a rather short space what should be examined closely in a much larger work.
ReplyDeleteWhile it brings up several intriguing references to predictions about the end of the world, it makes little attempt to examine their validity or relationship to the larger American culture of which they are a part.
A good topic to cover, if done properly.

ReplyDelete@ Owen: while you may believe what you want to, you need to express those beliefs in a way that is less insulting.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, the Mayan calendar was scientifically-determined, but their conviction that the world would end in 2012 was not.
Good post! I really hope the world doesn't end in 2012!
ReplyDeleteI am so interested in the end of the world. However, I don't believe it. It is just for fun and nobody cannot predict what is going to happen in the future. No one knows what's going on. If there is the end of world, why we study and earn money?
ReplyDeleteThe world is not ending in 2012!
ReplyDeleteI don't think that the world will end in 2012 and if it does, then we better be ready.
ReplyDeleteGood post! No one knows when the world is going to end though, so we just need to live our lives like we normally would.
ReplyDeleteI guess none of us know if the world is going to end in 2012 until, well, 2012! I guess we'll all see then whether or not it'll happen!
ReplyDeleteI think that nobody knows when the world is going to end.
ReplyDeleteI think that nobody knows when the world is going to end.
ReplyDeleteGood post. When that date comes I will be extremely scarred.
ReplyDeleteI just want to cry. This post is sooooo depressing.
ReplyDeleteI do not think that the world will end in 2012. If it does, I am sure that it will happen fast and we won't even realize what happened.
ReplyDeleteI really hope that the world doesn't end in 2012 and it is something I really don't like to think about.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the world's going to end in 2012.
ReplyDeleteI dont also want to think about that..
thats good post though.
I guess we won't know until it happens. But when it does I guess we won't really care because we'll be dead... Hmmph
ReplyDeleteI really don't believe that 2012 will be the end of the world. If it is, at least I will have graduated high school!
