The Mayans didn't believe the world was going to end but that there is going to be great change in it.
Take that as you want

The Mayans have a calendar that ends in 2012. To say that's a prediction of the end is like saying software engineers predict the end of time to be in 2037 because that's the furthest you can get from 1969 by measuring time in milliseconds using an unsigned 32 bit integer.
Both predictions mean nothing (just like y2k).

Do you think the Mayans had a special way to read God's mind?
Only God knows when.
Not even the closest one to God, Jesus, knows when.
What if they had stopped counting at 2000?
You cannot give them or anyone the benefit of the doubt.
Put faith in God that he will handle everything with everyones best interest at stake.
Just be good and you will be safe.

Armegeddon refers to Har Megiddo in Israel (valley of Megiddo near the town of the same name. It lies in th e Jezreel Valley, S. of Nazareth and N.E. of Mt. Carmel.
It will be the site of the final war here on Earth.
Revelation
Matthew 24
Luke 21
Ezekiel 38&39
Daniel 2, 7, & 9
Zechariah 12-14
and many other passages in the Bible describe events at the time of the war.
Pick up a book on eschatology at a local Christian Bookstore.

The Mayans were false prophets. The Bible makes it clear that nobody knows the time of the end except God Himself.

Are we Living in the End Times?
What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age? This was a question the disciples asked Jesus.
Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ, and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. (Matthew 24:4-8)
Signs
Many will go here and there to increase knowledge. (Daniel 12:4) Right now technology increased so quick every thing in our houses is out dated in about half a year. We have so much knowledge available through the Internet; we will never be able to view it all on just one subject.
On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. (Zechariah 12:3) Just about everyone in the world is now against Israel. No one is able to destroy Israel once they become a nation again.
They will say, "This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden; the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited." (Ezekiel 36:35) Before Israel came back to their promised land, the land was desolate. Now they are one of the biggest traders in the world in produce. Israel has rebuilt the entire city that was ruins. Israel has everything they need to rebuild the temple right now.
He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth. (Isaiah 11:12) This prophecy has already happened. Israel was scattered in 70AD. Now Israel has become a nation again.
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. (Revelation 13:15) this prophecy can now take place. We now have computers that can keep track of everyone in the world. The world is already trying to form a one world government and currency.
Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. For three and a half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. (Revelation 11:8-9) Now this prophecy can happen also. Everyone can now watch these people on TV. We now have satellites that can show everyone in the world what is happening in a single place.
They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. (Luke 21:24) The time of the gentiles was 70A.D. until June 7, 1967. The 1967-generation is the generation that will see the Lord return. The bible says, "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. (Matthew 24:32-34) The fig tree is the symbol of Israel. The leaves coming out of the fig tree is the Jews becoming a nation again. Summer is referring to the days when Jesus will come back for the second time. The generation that sees this prophecy happen will not pass away until the Lord returns.
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. (2 Timothy 3:1-5) This prophecy is happening today. This describes just about everyone today.
Friend we are living in the end times right now. If you were to die today would you go to heaven or hell? If Jesus were to come back tonight would you already be right with him?

According to the bible Matthew 24:3-14 Jesus gave the signal, that signal began with his "come" or "presence if you read that verses we are in verse 14 right now, read it you will get a surprise doing so.
By the way is not the end of the planet is the end of this system ruled by Satan.

Let's just wait and see. As the guy above said, remember Y2K? No one can ever know for sure. No book (as much as some believe) will be able to tell you.
