Why is 21 December 2012 CATCHING MORE EYES THAN OTHER THEORIES?
The following is a question being asked on Yahoo Answers. Both the questions and answers given do not reflect the view of our website.
Question:
i mean why is 2012 being such a hype compared to all the other world ending predictions?
People just keep getting dumber all the time.
because the mayans ran out of rock for their calendar
People are nuts
And the 2012 deal have never reached a *theory* status
Hey I hope not, that’s a day before my 25th birthday. I wanna live to see 25
People always latch on to the closest one from the present date. If the closest prediction was July 1, 2011, everyone would be believing that, even if it came from a completely different civilization.
Book sales for end of the world predictions have plummeted thus a need for a new angle to sell apocalyptic books.
cos of teh internetz. it will be all over come december 22nd
bcuz that’s the day there’ll be a WORLD ORGY.
c’mon, people who think they are gonna die will s e x it up one last time
Here’s my favorite end-times nonsense:
The Rapture will occur on May 21, 2011.
The world will end on October 21, 2011.
So sayeth Harold Camping, Prophet of Doom.

“Why is 21 December 2012 CATCHING MORE EYES THAN OTHER THEORIES?”
Only among USian conspiracy nutters.

2012 is first and foremost a business. Books and articles are being written, movies and documentaries are being made and all of these bring profit. In order to make more money supporters of this theory advertise it, the regular Joe hears about it, sees a documentary on the matter gets scared and even more interested in the subject. Most people take these claims at face value instead of looking for actual proven fact on the matter.
It’s spreading so fast because today we have the internet, e-mails, phones, meaning that getting information to the masses is much easier than it used to be . Besides, it’s something new, unlike the Apocalypse, of which we’ve all heard since we were kids.
Cuz all of the mayans other theories came true like the revolutionary war and ww2 and lincolns murder
My guess is that it is just an American thing. None of my friends here in Asia have ever heard about it and only a small handful of my UK friends know about it and they just think it`s mad anyway.
i dunno
Because it has a specific date and people are gullible sheep. Once you hear it on the ‘news’ even just a coverstory they go crazy.
Remember the big hype over 2000? I was only 10 but I still remember the craze.
BECAUSE THE 2012 SCENARIO
SERVES AS CLEVER DIVERSION.
ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, JUDGMENT DAY
BEGINS ON MAY 21, 2011 AND LASTS FOR EXACTLY 153 DAYS,
WHEN THE EARTH WILL COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY FIRE.
~~~~~TRUST THE BIBLE ABOUT 2011 THE END~~~~~

“The Lord has opened up His people’s understanding to the
“Biblical calendar” found on the pages of the Bible.
The genealogies of the book of Genesis, primarily in
chapters 5 and 11, can be shown to be a precise calendar
of the history of mankind in this world. The Bible’s calendar
of history is completely accurate and trustworthy.
Since this Bible calendar is given by God in His Word,
it can be trusted wholeheartedly.”

“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
WHEREBY THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS, BEING OVERFLOWED WITH WATER, PERISHED: BUT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, WHICH ARE NOW, BY THE SAME WORD ARE KEPT IN STORE, RESERVED UNTO FIRE AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENT AND PERDITION OF UNGODLY MEN.
But, beloved, BE NOT IGNORANT OF THIS ONE THING,
THAT ONE DAY IS WITH THE LORD AS A THOUSAND YEARS, AND A THOUSAND YEARS AS ONE DAY.
-2 Peter 3:3-8
“And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house
into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by
sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not
clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air
by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon
the face of all the earth. FOR YET SEVEN DAYS, and I will
cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and
every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off
the face of the earth.”
-Genesis 7:1-4
GOD GAVE NOAH A 7-DAY WARNING!
4990 + 2011 = 7001 (-1; NO YEAR ZERO) = 7000 YEARS
GOD SHUT THE DOOR OF THE ARK ON THE
SEVENTEENTH DAY OF THE SECOND MONTH.
“In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, IN THE SECOND MONTH, THE SEVENTEENTH DAY OF THE MONTH, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.”
-Genesis 7:11
MAY 21, 2011 WILL BE EXACTLY 7000 YEARS FROM THE DAY OF THE FLOOD.
IT WILL ALSO THE THE 17TH DAY OF THE SECOND MONTH ON THE JEWISH CALENDAR!
“And as it was in the days of Noe,
so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. ”
-Luke 17:26
“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up,
and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. ”
-Luke 21:28
