I'll probably finally get around to my Christmas shopping. No, the world won't end. I'm only 32, and I've already lived through 3 false prophecies about the end of the world, all of which seemingly fulfilled prophecies from the Book of Revelation:
The end of the Cold War, with Ronald Wilson Reagan (3 names, 6 letters in each, 666) and Mikhail Gorbachev (with his adorable birthmark of the beast), was supposed to lead to nuclear annihilation. The Y2K bug, to punish us for our arrogant faith in technology, plunging the world into chaos and darkness, ruining the corporate CEOs and fulfilling Revelation 6:15-17. And Bush and Cheney, who supposedly planned 9/11 as an attempt to form one world government and implant their awesome micro-chips in all 6 billion of us (again, the mark of the beast). So, to say I'm a bit skeptical of yet another "end of the world" scenario would be a massive understatement.

What we don't know, God does. Let Him be the judge of that. Do you know what's going to happen across the street in an hour? No right? So how can anybody know what will happen years from now? People who try to predict these things have nothing better to do, and are unfortunately brainwashing a lot of people who should be spending their time doing something more productive rather than day dreaming about tomorrow. If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, what would you do differently today? Think about that instead.

I look at that date, and according to this source - nothing in particular.
http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/index.html?year=2012&country=34
What I look for is a Set Time (translate as 'feast' in the Old Testament) where God has made a certain day a day to observe. He has already fulfilled some of those days in the Passover, and the Pentecost, but there is no specific day laid out according to the calendar and the observances of the Jews.
2012 might be significant, but that day in particular is not shown to be so. There are possibilities. The Christians who are Dispensationalists think that God will pour His wrath out on the Earth in the Great Tribulation, so that could be happening at that time, but I wonder what connection that whole theory has on the Great Tribulation.
That is what I look for anyway. The change in era according to those theorists could be pointing to the Great Tribulation. It would seem that the timing is there in a rather unprecise way.

Scriptures say that the world will end 1,000 years after the Lord's return. Scriptures also say that no man knows when the Lord will return, and that He will return when He is not expected.
Scriptures also teach that the Church will be raptured off the Earth 7 years before Armageddon.
Even if we ignore the 1,000 year prophecy, for 2012 to be a valid date, the Church would have to have been raptured in 2005.
The Church is still here. 2012 will be like Y2K.

No, The world will Not end.
Yes..Nothing will happen,
Why I think that ?
Mat 24:36 ¶ But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Now..I keep seeing this stupid question about the Earth ending in 2012
People..it is a Lie, what part of Matt:24:36 was not understood ?

Ahhh... astrology! I suspect that we'll still be in the outer spiral arm we've always been in, and we'll get some good views toward the center of the galaxy if we're in a nice rural location with little air pollution. And then we'll wake up the next day and the world will go on being the crappy place its always been.

The world could "end" anytime it could end today or it could end tomorrow. But the bible does give us some signs and indecarters of things to come and happen before the world ends.
but I guess I'm missing something beucase what's so special about Dec. 21s t 2012?

I think it will just be another day.
Matthew 24:36
36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
