The Maya also said that the world went through “stages” and ended several times, with humans being made of a different element each stage.

Basically by 2012 the cheap oil will have run out and oil prices will rocket. So…there will be arguments with countries like USA and UK with oil producing countries…this will end up in nuclear war and so the world will end……or so says some people!
I know it sounds crazy, but that is the theory that i heard!

well, I found this for you,
What’s going to happen on December 21st 2012?
Will the world end on 21st December 2012 because of the end of the Mayan calendar or because the winter solstice is “aligned” with the Milky Way?

“The Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end. Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another. The message they give concerns our making a choice of how we enter the future ahead. Our moving through with either resistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition will happen with cataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquility.

Are you wise enough to break the secret code found in the 12-12-12 Book?
http://www.12-12-12.org/
The date December 21st, 2012 A.D. (13.0.0.0.0 in the Long Count), represents an extremely close conjunction of the Winter Solstice Sun with the crossing point of the Galactic Equator (Equator of the Milky Way) and the Ecliptic (path of the Sun), what that ancient Maya recognized as the Sacred Tree. This is an event that has been coming to
resonance very slowly over thousands and thousands of years. It will come to resolution at exactly 11:11 am GMT.

ME!
And as far as cheep oil goes, that ran out 20 years ago… and the oil fields we are looking for now, like those in the artic circle, have such a high sulfer content they will also be sent overseas… We can grow Algae using solar and wind power to make alcohol and bio-diesel fuels now. I do however believe you are correct, someone will start yet another shooting war over oil again…

people are always searching “the end of the word” they predicted that is was gonna happen in 2000 and now in 2012, so i don’t know why humanity is finding their own end, oil is not gonna run out at least in 50 years and there is no way that a war will destroy earth in 4 years, there are still no proofs and just mayas prediction is no gonna change anything just because some predictions “looked” that they happened
(sorry my bad English also)

What exactly do you mean by the world ‘ending’? I mean, will the world just vanish, or explode, or implode, or melt, or disintegrate, or what?
Frankly, the world could end tomorrow, and why should we care? We can’t do anything about it, so relax!

I just watched this program on the History channel and it was about Nostradamus’ predictions. They said that they had found this new book of pictures (possibly done by his son) That also predicted the end of the world in 2012. They talked about this wheel in the sky. Which is actually a diagram of how the milky way,Sun, Earth’s path, and wobble of the Earth’s axis will all line up in this wheel pattern on Dec. 2012. This program also mentioned the Mayan’s long count calendar ending in the same year. The drawings also had predictions about the burning of the twin towers. and an eagle in distress.
It was very eye opening. I have been motivated to check out Revelation and see what is said in the Bible. I do know Christ is supposed to come before the end. My education is very lacking in this area. It makes me worried for my children ,one of which will graduate in 2012. I feel as though I am running out of time to lead them and others in the way of Christ. I can only pray for their salvation and hope I have done all that I can to bring them to the way of the Lord.
That said ,It is my prayer that these “doomsday” messages help people look for answers in the right place(Christ) and turn towards God and not away.

No. It is nonsense.
I will buy armageddon scenario if NASA detects an asteroid’s trajectory on collision to earth, if CDC detects unstoppable pandemic viral disease that will kill all humans, or things like that. But I will not buy baseless prophecies from religions, cults, or ancient civilizations. No merits on those whatsoever.
And in 2013 those who predicted that 2012 end of world scenario will recalibrate the prediction to a different year in the future. Wanna bet?

Revelation and Christianity says that we do not know when the end of the world will come, so Biblically it will not be 2012.

All of the indigenous cultures around the globe have an end time prophecy that ends in December 2012. Recently I saw a program on Discovery, or some channel like that, where the ancient Jewish calendar only dates to December 2012. We’ve only got 3.5 years left. Think about it.

Absolutely not. There is no proof to back up their predictions.
about 2 years ago
simple answer, NO, I sure don’t think so, there have been many predictions over the years, and the world is still here…
Any how, we still got the Olympics to do then, so the world will defiantly not come to an End…
