Have you heard of a 2012 apocalypse?

Question

Please seriuos answers only.

Answer 1

yes repeatedly

Answer 2

Yes, but it is not an 'Apocalypse ' in the sense you might think.
Apocalypse in this sense is closer than what many Christians believe it to be. Apocalypse means to Reveal, and the 'end of an Epoch' is just that.

The Mayan Calendar stops on Dec 21st, 2012. However, the Mayans only had five decimal places and you would need a six decimal or to start it all over again to go past this date. This is the end of the 13th Baktun, and is considered to be the beginning of something bright and new.

Tzolkin long count of 13.0.0.0.0 it does not go any further than that unless you start at 1.0.0.0.0 again.

This calendar began on August 11th 3114 B.C.E. and is not only the oldest calendar but still a very accurate one as well somehow.

There are actually two calendars; the Tzolkin and the Ha'ab.

Both show the "End of an Epoch" at about the same date coming up soon.... but one is a spiritual calendar and the other is a practical one for the planting of crops and watching of the seasons.

Answer 3

Mayan calender ends 2012 december 22. I've heard that there are Mayan writings that say great calamity will strike then but I have not confirmed this. I do see the year 2012 popping up a lot.

People in the year 999 thought Christ was going to return in 1000. Tons of folk thought Y2K was going to collapse our civilization. No one knows these things for certain.

Answer 4

The Mayan long calender charts a cycle in the universe that began on August 11, 3114BC and ends December 21 2012.

All things in nature happen in cycle of death and rebirth, seasons change, flowers bloom and die and from the seeds new flowers arise.

The 2012 date is seen as a rebirth.

Answer 5

Yes

It co-insides with the Mayan calender.
The Mayan calender ends in December of 2012.
The belief is that the earths magnetic north will change poles which means all motors computers and magnets will not work.
Scientists have evidence this happens every so often and they say it is only a matter of time before it happens again.
They say the earth may even flip but this is still not a provable fact. The flip would happen over a long period of time not all at once.

Answer 6

I am very serious I love stories of the apocalypse. People rapturing zing, zing, zing like shooting stars. Exploding going off like crazy as if the entire world was going to explode. Then there is all those folks left behind. People having to line up and get their groceries from the Devil but only if they have the mark of the beast. The dreaded 666 on their forehead. Then there are those hold outs who wouldn't take the mark. They keep scurrying around like rats in the alleys picking up crumbs. barley subsisting just waiting for the rapture. Is that how it is? Mayan were just ignorant savages they are all condemned to Hell they don't know nothing. Tell me more please. Betty

Answer 7

Just because the Mayans ran out of room to carve on a temple wall and stopped there calender at 2012, people made up the idea that they thought 2012 was the end of the world.

There are no Mayan writings to support this idea at all.

Answer 8

Yes it is as good a date as any, and while it is certainly coming in the near future the question is are we ready? Ironically our lives will end no matter when the apocalypse gets here, some will die this very hour... unprepared. I do believe that the end is near, just as you feel it in your own spirit... and the foretold persecutions and battles are near. I invite you to put on the armor of God now, while there is still time... so that you may be ready for battle when the evil one arises in the flesh, some portions of his armies are already in existance... not under his command just yet, but by their nature already causing death and terror just as you see spreading throughout the world today.

Answer 9

I have. I have also heard of an 1843 apocalypse, which, upon its not arriving as scheduled, was moved ahead to Oct 22, 1844. It didn't happen then either. There are always predictions of the end of the world, eventually, one of them will be correct. In the meantime, I try to live my life as usefully and cheerfully as possible.

Answer 10

Yes, more specifically Dec. 21 or 22 of that year is the date the Mayan calendar ends. That's why The X-Files used that date in the last episode. However, I don't know the details of it.

Answer 11

Yes, and I also heard of a 1876 apocalypse, a 1994 apocalypse, a 2000 apocalypse, a 2004 apocalypse, a 2008 apocalypse, and a 2027 apocalypse.
