The Mayans didn't predict the end of the world. (That's people reading something into the "end of the calendar age".)
I think they just saw no need to create a new calendar until the one they were using was obsolete - which didn't come close to occurring.
Rest easy. You must know that none of the myriad "end of the world" predictions have been accurate yet, 'eh?

The Mayans, as far as I know didn't really predict the end of the world, and even if they did, they didn't do so well with predicting the fall of their civilization. I'd rate their creditablility as really low.

The world is not going to end. Life as we know it is going to end.
What I mean is that when Jesus comes to earth and sets up his kingdom, the devil is locked away in chains.
Temptation will not exist. And mankind will live according to the ways of the Lord.
It will like heaven on earth. It says that the lion will lie along side of the lamb in the field.
And for 1000 years, there will be peace and love.
Yet, the devil is set free at the end of the 1000 years where he will again be allowed to tempt mankind.
And all those who follow him will suffer his same fate. They will be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone for all eternity.
The heaven and the earth that exist now will be destroyed and a new heaven and earth will be created. And all who loved God will spend eternity is paradise where God will satisfy their every need. He will be to them a Father and they will be to him his children.
As for the mayan calender, don't pay attention to it.
When will Jesus come to earth? I believe within the next 10 to 15 years.
One sure sign of his coming is the continuing growth of evil on earth.
The same was in the days of Noah. Mankind had become som evil, that their every thought was evil. With the exception of the eight who God saved on the ark.
So as we watch evil continue to grow on this earth, you will see men saying there is no God or they will blame God for what their very sins have brought upon them. Evil will continue to grow until it is destroyed by the Son of God. And it will be destroyed by the brightness of his coming.

Mat 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
However Jesus did tell us some signs to look for just before his coming.
Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Are these things not happening now?
Jesus could come at any minute. He could even become before I get this answer typed.
Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

No man knows the day or the hour. You should accept Jesus as your personal savior and be ready.
