Question:
I was doing research out of boredom on 2012, and I keep hearing about Nostradamus predicting 2012 (Kind of how they said he predicted the world would end on Y2K.)
I read in a few books that Nostradamus told his son in a letter that his projections would last thousands of years, all the way to 3797.
His son believes this could possibly mean that is when the world ends. One resources says Nostradamus told his son he believed the earth would be wiped from the universe in 3797 by a cataclysmic event. 3797 seems to be the date he has set for either the end of the world, or the end of as far as he could see.
He never, in my research, mentioned 2012 nor the exact date of 12.21.12
so where is this supposed doomsday prediction from Nostradamus? Is this another one of those fabricated predictions like his supposed 9/11 prediction that never existed until someone wrote it on 9/12 and credited it to him?
or kind of how he’s credited with the end of the world prophecies during Y2K. I watched the discovery channel’s 2012 Nostradamus prophesy show, and it’s exactly like the Y2K show that they aired in 1998 or 99.
As for the Mayan calendar…
1. The calendar ends in 2012… but where is the doomsday prediction? I can’t find anywhere where the Mayan’s actually said “this calendar ends because the world does.”
2. Our calendar ends every december… then just rolls into the next cycle comes January. Why is it so hard to believe the Mayan calendar will be the same way.
3. Did the Mayan’s predict the downfall of their ancient civilization, because as far as I have read, they seemed clueless about their own problems.
Not to mention – They Mayans seemed to believe in cycles, when one ended another began. They didn’t believe in “Ends”.
So where is this whole 2012 thing coming from? Can anyone point me to exact quotes?
I don’t know what to think about 2012 other than what the bible says. And Jesus says that even HE doesn’t know when the end will come. Only God knows.
What do I think about 2012 tho? I think the end will come for many. I somehow have this gut feeling there will be mass suicides. Cults, and those who buy into it that will be so afraid of a horrible death that they will take their own lives. I can see thousands if not millions of people committing suicide in the days prior to Dec. 21, 2012.
what do you all think? I mean, I’m only (3 days) from 16 years old, so I’m not like a scientist or anything. I’m just going by what I’ve read. So anyone with more insite, I’d love to hear what you have to say.
LOL Kaila!
