Signs the World Will End in 2012

Mayan Calendar – 2012: the big date!  With the recent fear, curiosity, and excitement about the onset of the Armageddon on December 21st 2012, one can certainly wonder how it is going to take place.

Many wonder how this specific date was chosen. Some claim that this prophecy is just a bunch of old wives’ tales that found their way onto the internet. However, this particular predicted date was not picked out of random. Here are five terrifying reasons the world will end in 2012:

1. The Mayan Calendar

The ending of the Mayan calendar is one of the most well known signs of the apocalypse on December 21st 2012. On this very date the Mayan long-count calendar resets itself to 0.0.0.0. and restarts the next day. Thus, it suggests the end of life and rebirth. However, many skeptics argue that the Mayans believed in the beginning of a time of change and tribulation rather than death and destruction. Nevertheless, this sign definitely hints that something would happen on this date.

2. The I-Ching Prophecies

One of the most shocking revelations for 2012 involved the I-Ching prophecies. These Ancient Chinese predictions show the events of the past and future. Some research seems to indicate  that these predictions are accurate for events that have already taken place. Unfortunately one of the events foretold in the I-Ching prophecies is the coming of the Armageddon on December 21st 2012.

3. Geomagnetic Reversal

According to some scholars, the Earth is expected to go through a polar shift sometime during the end of 2012. This phenomenon involves the Earth’s North and South Pole interchanging rapidly. As a result, malfunction and confusion would occur. Animals are expected to lose direction and electronics are expected to breakdown. In addition, scientists are also expected major movement of tectonic plates which would result in many natural disasters.

(Update: January, 2011, there have been a great number of animal deaths recently that have been all over the news: 5000 blackbirds in Arkansas and Louisiana and up to 100,000 drum fish in the Arkansas river.  I do not know if these are related, but many have wondered and I have received a lot of email about a possible connection.)

Now, this type of event would normally take place over a very long period of time – yet some feel it may occur abruptly.

4. Black Hole Alignment

Another theory involves the alignment of the galactic center. It is expected that the alignment would create a combined effect of a gravitational pull between the black hole and the sun at the galaxy’s center; also known as ‘Sagittarius A’. Due to the pull, the Earth would likely face many problems. However, this incident has occurred in 1998. Research has shown that the Earth needs to be much closer to the Sun in order to face adverse effects.

5. The Web Bot

Quite a popular program, the Web Bot is a series of automated bots that search for specific keywords on the internet. On finding these keywords, the program searched for a pattern too. Apparently, Web Bot predicted the September 11th attacks and the tsunami in 2004. Now it has predicted the Armageddon on December 21st 2012.

One can question the validity of these predictions. Nevertheless, it is ironic as to how all these forecasts are pointed to one specific date and come from completely different sources. So follow the signs that the world will end in 2012 and be prepared for the worst to come. This does not mean that you begin creating a hide-away bunker right away, but it does mean that you should be more alert and not ignore the slightest warnings. The world is so updated with technology that the secret would be out before you know it.

Update:  if anyone is too upset about this article, please read the devil’s advocate article:  Ten Vital Reasons the World will not End in 2012. You will feel a lot better.

So, am I saying the world will end or not?  I cannot say because I do not know for sure.  I do not think that anyone should completely dismiss the idea of 2012.  However, I do not believe it will end the world.  Will something happen?  Even a catastrophe?  I do not know …and neither does anyone else.

Who predicted the end of the world?

The short answer is that neither the Mayans nor Nostradamus predicted the end of the world in 2012 – at least, not exactly.

• The Mayans’ long count calendar ends in December of 2012, but that does not necessarily mean doom.
• Nostradamus has NO exact prediction that conclusively dates to 2012.

Now, the long answer is a bit more interesting.

The Mayan 2012 Calendar

The fact that the Mayan long count calendar ends in December of 2012 is no secret. This calendar spans over 5,000 years and its conclusion was of great importance to the Mayans. The end of this calendar meant the end of the age! However, the Mayan calendar itself does not indicate the end of the world, just the end of the age – with a new age  beginning on the following day. There were even three previous ages. Granted, they all ended with some great event, but not the end of the world.

It was an archeologist by the name Michael Coe who (in 1966) first brought forth the idea of Armageddon occurring on this date – the completion of the Mayan 2012 calendar. Now, Coe is not just any archeologist – he is one of the greatest living experts on ancient Mayan culture. Furthermore, he has a doctorate in anthropology from Harvard and he worked for the CIA. I am only giving you this brief biography so that you would not merely dismiss him as a crack pot.

(You can see one his books, Breaking the Maya Code, on Amazon.)

So, did the Mayans predict the end of the world in 2012?

No, but Dr. Michael Coe did study the ancient Mayan texts and it is his interpretation that there is a possibility that Armageddon would occur at the completion of the Mayan long count calendar in 2012.

Nostradamus and 2012

You must know that frankly Nostradamus predicted a whole bunch of stuff. Also, nothing of any significance ever happens without someone claiming that Nostradamus predicted it. I just want to make that part very clear here in the beginning.

However, there is a very interesting prediction of Nostradamus that does seem to give credence to the many people who combine his predictions with the 2012 date.

“After a great misery of mankind, an even greater approaches. The great cycle of the centuries renewed, it will rain blood, milk, famine, war, disease. In the sky will be seen a great fire dragging a trail of sparks.”

Before we go any farther, know this: this is the EXACT same prediction that was used before Y2K to show that Nostradamus predicted the end of the world in 2000. It seemed to make sense for them then too, but it did NOT happen.

So now this prediction (and many similar ones) has been attributed to the 2012 Mayan date. The reason is because what could be a greater meaning for “great cycle of the centuries renewed” than the ending of a 5,000 year old calendar? So, it seems to make some sense at least.

Furthermore, there has been almost a worldwide fear of an asteroid or comet striking the earth ever since it was demonstrated that this may have been what killed the dinosaurs… So, “in the sky will be seen a great fire dragging a trail sparks” has been translated to mean a comet or asteroid striking the earth. This passage has also been translated to mean a missile strike or nuclear war.

So, did Nostradamus predict the end of the world in 2012?

No, but some of his predictions may potentially be relevant… or not.

Nostradamus 2012 Predictions

A talented medical doctor, Nostradamus was one of the most famous French doctors of his time. Born in 1503 in the small French town of Saint Remus, Nostradamus was more than just a doctor. Being a devout Christian, Nostradamus believed that he had an intuitive power to predict the future. Most would consider these forecasts to be a bunch of rubbish; however, most of Nostradamus predictions have been quite accurately foretold. Nevertheless, with accurate predictions such as the fall of Napoleon, the French Revolution, World War I and II, and September 11th attacks, it is no wonder that people are a bit worried for his prediction for apocalypse on December 21st 2012. However, are the facts true? Nostradamus had several prophecies for the 2012 doomsday, such as World War III, the coming of the Antichrist and several natural disasters. Are these predictions as accurate as he foretells or were these just the ramblings of an old man?

Nostradamus was known for his prophecies through his writings. These are 4-lined poetic verses that are known as quatrains. In his quatrains, Nostradamus predicted the 2012 doomsday to begin with several natural disasters. Furthermore, he also predicted a planet to hit the Earth. Scientists named it Planet X but Nostradamus did not name it. Although it is strange to hear a planet would pummel into the Earth, the Ancient Mayans did predict the coming of a planet which they named as Planet Nibiru. Nevertheless, some experts have found that there is a planet heading near the Earth. However, the word “near” stands for 30,000 light years away in this case. That is scientific terms for you. Nostradamus predicted a disastrous war for December 21st 2012.

Many religions have predicted the end of the world to be plagued with wars and natural disasters. Nostradamus 2012 predictions are quite similar. He also predicted the rise of a World War III led by Antichrist himself through quatrains; 50, 30 and 62. In his 30th quatrain he says, “One who the infernal gods of Hannibal will cause to be reborn, terror of all mankind. Never more horror not the newspaper tell of worse in the past, Than will come to the Romans through Babel (Iraq)”, which seems to imply that the Antichrist would arise from North Africa or the Middle East and bring destruction to the Catholic Church. Furthermore, in his 62nd quatrain, Nostradamus puts forward the name “MABUS” as the Antichrist. Some experts even suggest that it is possibly Obama or the Catholic pope! With his accurate prediction of September 11th attacks, it is quite possible to believe in his theory. However, there are those who claim that his quatrains have been misinterpreted.

There is quite a lot of room for interpretation with Nostradamus’ writings as they never actually suggest a date; rather they are just predictions of the future. Some historians believe that although Nostradamus accurately predicted some events, he did not know when they were going to happen. In Nostradamus’ letter to his son, he admits his prophecies “contain each 100 astronomic quatrains of forecasts, polished through obscurely”. In addition, he admits that these prophecies are “perpetual” and has foretold predictions up to the year 3797. If Nostradamus knew the world would come to an end, he would have definitely not bothered writing more predictions.

It is possible that Nostradamus 2012 doomsday predictions are more of a misinterpretation than anything else. However, since there have been so many prophecies from other sources, such as the Mayans, it is likely that something could take place on December 21st 2012. Keep in mind that there have been quite a lot of predictions about the end of the world. It is possible that many people are overreacting to the situation, hence relating every possible prophecy to each other. Keep an open mind, you never know what to expect. Life on Earth has been through many deaths and disasters; it is possible we will live through whatever is to occur on December 21st 2012.

Nostradamus Armageddon

Nostradamus: the French astrologer. Armageddon: the place for where the final battle will take place between good and evil. According to Nostradamus’ predictions on the seventh month of the year 1999 there was supposed to be what he described as the King of Terror, would descend from the skies to cause a great battle in the world.

Nostradamus predicts that before the age of the new millennium, the third anti-Christ will awaken, The King of Terror, King Mongol. His predictions mention that wars, plagues, and natural disasters were going to start raiding through the world, causing mass destruction.

Nostradamus suggested that the two previous anti-Christ’s that have caused destruction in the world have been; Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Putin. History has shown that these predictions have been true, since both have been very evil beings causing many problems in the world during their time. The third anti-Christ has yet to be known. Some have said that Saddam Hussein, or that even Osama Bin Laden could be this King of Terror anti-Christ that Nostradamus speaks of. Nostradamus does warn that this evil tyrant will be emerging from the Middle East. He predicts that this evil being shall lead a world war three, which shall be much worse than all other wars that have taken place put together.

Since Nostradamus predictions said that this Armageddon would take place on the seventh month of the year 1999, yet nothing has happened, it is now speculated that since September 11th, 2001, Nostradamus Armageddon has started to evolve. This Armageddon is supposed to last 27 years. Therefore it’s being said that if Nostradamus’ Armageddon has started now, it has not fully evolved to the Armageddon that Nostradamus spoke of in his predictions. So will the Nostradamus Armageddon ever take place?

Nostradamus Prophecies

Nostradamus, a great medical doctor and famous astrology, is renowned for his prophecies about the future. Born in 1503 in Saint Remus, France; Nostradamus is still known for his predictions 500 years later. After the prediction of the fall of Napoleon, World War I, the fall of Hitler and the September 11th attacks, many people began to believe in his prophecies. Moreover, many deem his prophecies about death and destruction for December 21st 2012 as accurate. You might be rather alarmed from these predictions. However, many of the doctor/astrologer’s prophecies have also been rather erroneous, such as the prediction about Planet Nibiru smashing into the Earth in May 2003. Furthermore, it is quite reassuring to know that the Mayans did not predict the same fate for life as Nostradamus did.

One of the recent topics in relation to Nostradamus’ December 21st 2012 prophecies is Nostradamus 2012 book. Authors are not alone in agreeing with his predictions made long ago, many psychics also believe in this ancient Rosicrucian’s theories. Since Nostradamus accurately predicted World War I and World War II, many believe that Nostradamus’ prophecy of World War III in the year 2012 would come true. On the other hand, many believe Nostradamus’ prophecies for 2012 to be rather drastic, especially when comparing it to the Ancient Mayans.

Nowadays, almost everyone around the world is aware of who the Ancient Mayans were. With time running out on their long-count calendar for their fourth period on December 21st 2012, several people combine Nostradamus’ 2012 prophecies with the end of the Mayan calendar. So is it possible that the Mayans predicted the same fate for the Earth as Nostradamus did? There are countless arguments against this. Nowhere in Mayan writings have they suggested war and destruction. Known for their accuracy in calendars, the Mayans implied the world was to enter a time of transition from one World Age to another. This view might be indefinite in its explanation, but definitely suggests a more contented prophecy that Nostradamus predictions for 2012. Some suggest that Nostradamus’ prophecies are not clear.

Are Nostradamus 2012 prophecies even meant to happen on December 21st 2012? Some argue that there is no factual evidence to prove that Nostradamus predicted death and destruction, and the end of days on December 21st 2012. Since he is no longer alive, it has made the solution to his prophecies rather difficult to obtain. Although Nostradamus did predict certain events that actually occurred, it is quite difficult to believe in information these days. With the influence of media and theorists who want their voice to be heard, it is possible that these prophecies are not reliable anymore.

It is not right to disregard Nostradamus’ 2012 prophecies as being fallacious; however, keeping your mind open to all the theories put out there for December 21st 2012 would be the best way to prepare yourself for what is to come. Nostradamus had a bunch of prophecies that were accurate as well as an equal amount that were inaccurate. Although it is difficult to predict whether Nostradamus 2012 prophecies would come true, it is best to know all the information.

December 21st 2012

When is the apocalypse? The question has no real answer. However, recently there have been quite a lot of predictions with relation to the date and what might happen. The new date set for the doomsday is December 21st 2012. This prediction was made by several sources such as religious sources, the Mayans, Nostradamus and the I-Ching Prophecies. Are these prophecies legit or fake? Is December 21st 2012 the real doomsday?

Several religions claim that the end of the world is close by. Nevertheless, a set date has not been revealed. In the Christian Bible, the events for the Armageddon are predicted but there is no specific date to be aware of; however, it implies a warning for any day in the future. However, the Christian Bible does mention several natural disasters before the doomsday arrives. Furthermore, the Bible predicts an end with a war between good and evil: Armageddon. These views are similar to those foretold in the Qu’uran and the Jewish Bible. In Hinduism similar prophecies have been claimed in their inscriptions. These predictions are similar to what Nostradamus foretold.

Nostradamus was a talented French doctor born in 1503. A devout Christian, Nostradamus believed he had the intuitive power to foretell the future. Although there are many sceptics against Nostradamus, it still remains that this talented doctor has accurately foretold many events, such as the fall of Napoleon, the French Revolution, World War I and II, and September 11th attacks. Thus, the prediction of the December 21st 2012 doomsday is rather difficult not to take into account. Nostradamus also implied quite a destructive ending with the onset of natural disasters that lead onto World War III. He indicates in his writings that this war is based on a religious level in contrast to the previous World Wars. He also states that this war is going to be led by the antichrist himself and would last up to 72 years until the final judgment day. This destructive ending is quite similar to that foretold by the I-Ching Prophecies.

Several thousand years ago, an Ancient Chinese Emperor decided to put down certain predictions which are collectively known as the I-Ching Prophecies or the “Book of Changes”. He also predicted the December 21st 2012 doomsday in these writings, with the mention of death and destruction. However, the first prophecy made about the December 21st 2012 doomsday was the Ancient Mayans.

The Ancient Mayans were a developed civilization, skilled in mathematics and astrology amongst much flair. With their astrology skills and several calculations later, they made a calendar foretelling the future. They prophesied the end of the world on December 21st 2012 with the end of their Long Count calendar, that depicts the end of their fourth world period. This 5,125 year old calendar is responsible for forecasting other prophecies accurately too.

At the end of the day, it is up to you to decide on what you want to believe. There are certainly quite a lot of prophecies that have come about with regards to the doomsday on December 21st 2012. The best way to deal with this situation is to prepare one’s self for the future. Research on these sources and prophecies is the best way to find out all the information regarding the December 21st 2012 doomsday.

Nostradamus Prophesy

Nostradamus was one of the most famous people in the course of our history. He was well known for many of his predictions for the future. However, one of his most famous forecasts is his World War III prediction. This prediction was one of Nostradamus prophecies for the onset of the Armageddon.

Born in 1503 in Saint Remi of France, Nostradamus was quite a talented student which allowed him to pursue the medical field and finally become a doctor. He was also an expert in various languages such as Latin, Hebrew, Greek, etc. However, amongst many of his flairs Nostradamus was an excellent astrologer.

Although faithful to Christianity since childhood, Nostradamus believed he had an intuitive power to predict the future. He would note his prophecies usually as 4-lined poem verses making up the book known as “Century”. Most of his predictions have been made more than 1500 years after his death and are quite accurate, including the fall of Napoleon, the French Revolution, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the fall of Hitler, etc. Not only was World War III was amongst one of his most frightening predictions but it was one of Nostradamus’ prophecy for the Armageddon.

World War I and World War II were wars based on establishing supremacy of one country over the other. However, World War III is supposedly based on a religious level. Nostradamus foretold the coming of a king of destruction, in human form. It is predicted to be brought upon by many natural disasters. The war is to last for up to 27 years with and endless amount of suffering. Chemical weapons are to be the main use of force. Furthermore, Nostradamus was convinced that destruction would befall the city of New York. In his writings Nostradamus include, “The sky will appear to burn from the 45th parallel and the fire will approach the great city”. Nevertheless, Nostradamus did reveal that mankind will finally understand their mistakes and the world would begin again in a Golden Age.

Many argue that Nostradamus’ prophecies are just fibs. Since many of Nostradamus’ predictions have not taken place too, it is quite difficult to believe which of his many predictions are to come true until the very moment. Nevertheless, if a religious war is to happen, it is best to prepare ourselves in order to avoid it. It is only when we give in to our selfish ways do we destroy, not only others, but ourselves.

Nostradamus Predictions

The infamous Nostradamus was a renowned French doctor and remarkable astrologer. Born in 1503 in Saint Remi, he has become quite popular 500 years later for the simple predictions he made. Many people believe in his forecast; however, there are others who deem this as just a bunch of hocus pocus. Nostradamus predictions for the future have been used in a variety of ways, including propaganda “Nostradamus leaflets” during the Second World War by German and allied pilots.

Amongst many other predictions Nostradamus forecast the apocalypse on December 21st 2012, which has been quite shocking for people around the world. This is due to the countless number of prophecies found in the Nostradamus writings. In one of Nostradamus’ major work of predictions, known as “The Centuries”, he predicted the rise and demise of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime and Mussolini. The French doctor and astrologist made the prediction about the apocalypse in the year 2012 based on an astrological alignment of the earth. This would eventually precipitate a cataclysmic event. Furthermore, he foretold many natural disasters that would occur in the future that reveals the end of the world, such as massive comic collision, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and environmental issues. However, many people do question the logic of Nostradamus.

Nostradamus claimed that his prophecies were based on a combination of astrological study and divine inspiration. Since his predictions are based as a result of random chance and creative interpretation, this has led to many skeptics against Nostradamus. There has been no scientific proof to validate Nostradamus’ predictions. Moreover, since most of his writings are rather vague it is not right to directly relate them to the disaster or even that takes place. Nostradamus has predicted many disasters in the previous years, including asteroids hitting the earth in the year 1999 and 2000. In addition, Nostradamus foretold another failed prediction of global disaster with war and famine in the year 2000. Obviously, since these predictions have not come true, many doubt Nostradamus’ writings.

If Nostradamus’ predictions for the future were reliable, shouldn’t the world be preparing for the end of life on December 21st 2012? Moreover, if he had predicted disasters such as the destruction of the World Trade Center’s 500 years ago, why was it not prevented? There is no evidence yet of the world ending on December 21st 2012. It is always best to prepare for the worst, but it not logical to follow Nostradamus’ prediction strictly. This will only create arguments and distress. Let us just hope that Nostradamus’ predictions for the future are just prophecies and live happily.

Nostradamus Apocalypse

The year 2012 has become quite a cause of concern for some and point of interest for others. According to several prophecies, some made several thousand years ago, the apocalypse will be on December 21st 2012. These prophecies were foretold by various sources such as the Ancient Mayans, Ancient Egyptians, and the I-Ching prophecies. However, a prophecy was also foretold more recently in the course of history by the great Nostradamus.

A talented medical doctor and astrologist, Nostradamus was famous for many of his accurate predictions. He was born in 1503 in a small French town called Saint Remus. Although a devout Christian, Nostradamus believed he had an intuitive power that helped him foretell prophecies. Many of Nostradamus’ prophecies turned out to be true, such as the French Revolution, rise and fall of Hitler and September 11th attacks. Thus, some people assume that Nostradamus’ prediction of the apocalypse on December 21st 2012 will actually take place. How did Nostradamus come up with these amazing predictions about the apocalypse?

The prophecies of Nostradamus were composed in 4 lined poetic verses known as “quatrains”. With the use of his intuitive power Nostradamus lectures about the apocalypse in the year 2012 AD. In these writings he claims that the Earth would be hit by a huge planet known as Planet Nibiru when he says, “…The Great King of Terror shall come from the sky. He will bring to life the King of Mongols. Before and after, Mars reigns happily.” Some people argue that Nostradamus refers to the Planet Nibiru several times. The Ancient Mayans also predicted the same fate for the Earth in their writings. Nostradamus also predicts several natural disasters such as earthquakes to come around this time. Furthermore, Nostradamus predicts World War III to occur after mankind has suffered through these disasters. Experts suggest that Nostradamus implied that this war was to be on a religious level in contrast to the previous World Wars. Additionally, Nostradamus does mention that mankind would suffer for 72 years before the Judgement Day.

With the gift of the Internet, the world has access to Nostradamus prophecies for the apocalypse on December 21st 2012. Nevertheless, it is important that we take this information in with a clear mind. We will never actually know the truth until the time comes to be honest. Furthermore, if these prophecies are taken seriously, it might actually cause a mass hysteria. Instead prepare yourself for the worst. This does not mean hiding yourself in a bunker the whole time, it just means that you must get all the facts and evidence before you can act.

How Will the World End?

December 21st 2012: the doomsday date according to many astrologers and scientists around the world. Many believe that this particular date would be as a result of human acts; whereas others believe it to be an act of God. With the countless number of theories out there, it is rather difficult to predict what is to take place. Although no one knows when or how the end of days would take place, it is best to be prepared. Here are 3 possible ways Armageddon could take place:

1. The most popular belief when it comes to the end of the world on December 21st 2012 is the end of the 5,125 year Mayan calendar. The Mayans are an ancient civilization skilled in mathematics and astrology amongst many other talents. Furthermore, the Mayans were well known for their accuracy with their calendars. They believed that time progresses in the form of cycles. They predicted that the world would enter a time of tribulation on December 21st 2012; thus, suggesting a time for spiritual change. However, there are those who believe in a more destructive end.

2. In alliance with Nostradamus’ prophecies about December 21st 2012, scientists also believe that the apocalypse is to be one filled with a lot of chaos and destruction. From economic turmoil to natural disasters, life (both man and animal) would suffer. Moreover, scientists predict the number of solar flares on the sun to increase in number in the distant future. In the event this takes place, satellites will be destroyed causing a global meltdown. Unfortunately, with the current state of this world, you will find that these prophecies predicting disaster has quite a large number of takers. Moreover, many of these disasters have been predicted by religion

3. There are many religions that predicted that life on Earth would come to an end one time or another. When taken in collaboration with the points mentioned earlier, it gives light to each other. Although several religions have not stated when the exact date would be, many suggest similar prophecies to ones suggested by scientists and astrologers, such as war and natural disasters.

There are two ways to handle the future: either accept it or deny it. With denial you have  to take each day as it comes; however, if you learn to accept it you can prepare yourself for what is to come. At the end of the day, there is no way of avoiding the inevitable. There is no way to know when the exact doomsday date would be with the countless amount of unreliable information out there, but preparation is the key to making the future better.

Prophecy for 2012

The year 2012 has become an interest to those that believe in the ancient traditions. However, quite soon, people around the world would be depending on these cultures to guide them through the future. The 2012 prophecies include those made by the Ancient Mayans, Nostradamus, and Religion.

The cause for concern about the world ending in the year 2012 was brought to attention by the prophecy of the Mayans. This ancient civilization existed several thousand years ago in the area that is now known as Central Mexico. Though a bloodthirsty society, they were talented in mathematics and astrology amongst many talents. Furthermore, they were rather obsessed with time and believed that there have been four worlds so far. Each world ends in about 5,000 years and then a new world begins the next day. The Mayans alleged that we are currently living in the fourth world. They made up a calendar known as the Long Count calendar. Like all calendars end, the Mayan calendar is to reach an end on December 21^st 2012. Unfortunately for us, this might be a 2012 prophecy for the end of the world. Moreover, Nostradamus, an essential historical figure, has predicted the same fate on the same date.

About 500 years ago an important individual in the course of our history was born; Nostradamus. This French doctor was renowned was his famous predictions. Moreover, most of his predictions were accurate as well, such as the Fall of Napoleon, Fall of Hitler and the World War I and II. Alas, Nostradamus also predicted the world to reach an end on December 21^st 2012. Yes, the same date as the Mayan 2012 prophecy. However, unlike the Mayans, Nostradamus predicted quite a destructive end to life on Earth with onset of World War III. He also stated that unlike the previous world wars, World War III would be a religious-based war. Additionally, Nostradamus prophesied the war and suffering to last up to 72 years! These 2012 prophecies are quite similar to that predicted by religions.

Religion is quite important to many people around the world. Most religions predict the end of days. The Christian Bible and the Qu’uran have similar views on what the end of the world has to offer. Although a date has not been set, these religions do predict events similar to those prophesied by the Mayans and Nostradamus.

Are these 2012 prophecies going to take place as foretold? We would never know till the time comes. However, the best way to deal with these situations is to prepare for them. Research is the best way to understand these prophecies made about the year 2012. At the end of the day, survival is the key to any future.

2012 End of the World Predictions

Uh oh! Not another “end of the world” prediction. December 21st 2012 has become quite a speculation around the world. There were many predictions for the end of the world, some being quite nasty. However, come December 21st 2012, our world is about to come to its end. From the Ancient Mayans to Nostradamus and the I-Ching Prophecies, 2012 is certainly believed to be the end of the world. Let us explore some of these prophecies for our supposedly “promising” future.

The Ancient Mayans was quite a skilled civilization. Experienced in mathematics and astrology, and obsessed with aspects of time, they were certainly masters for creating calendars quite similar to our Gregorian calendar. The Mayan calendar is known to scholars as the Tzolkin. It has been combined with a 365 – day calendar known as the Haab to form a synchronized cycle known as the Calendar Round. A different form of this calendar was used to track longer periods of time, which is known as the Long Count calendar. This calendar is responsible for identifying when one event would occur in relation to the other. On December 21st 2012, this calendar is to come to an end which suggests the end of the world. Moreover, with this calendar, inscriptions imply that a planet is on a collision course towards the Earth. They referred to this planet as Planet Nibiru. It was predicted by Nostradamus.

Planet Nibiru or Planet X as the modern astronomers refer to it. A planet so large, it will destroy the Earth in its one blow. Nostradamus also predicted the collision of the planet with Earth. Furthermore, it was also predicted by Nancy Lieder, who believed she could contact a group of aliens through a communication device they had planted in her. However, to date that device has not been found so it is highly unlikely the source is true. However, on the other hand, Nostradamus predictions have been rather accurate. With his successful prophecies about the French Revolution, World War I and II and the September 11th attacks, it is definitely possible that his prophecies for 2012 to be the end of the world are truthful. Unfortunately, the French medical doctor has predicted quite a horrible end for the world in 2012 with the rise of World War III, and the antichrist that he refers to as MABUS. This is quite similar to the view that the Christian Bible takes.

In the Christian Bible, the Book of Revelations prophesies the end of the world to be filled with war and destruction. This is quite similar to Nostradamus’ revelations as it does predict a war. Furthermore, it is does predict the coming of an antichrist. This view is similar to Judaism and Islam, which does support the theory that it might come true.

The future holds plenty of surprises for us. We should only prepare ourselves for the worst. Although several prophecies have been given out, it is important to remember that there have been many failed predictions about the end of the world. However, one thing is for sure, something is bound to happen on December 21st 2012. So take these 2012 end of the world predictions seriously, if something is preventable, it would be certainly beneficial for life on earth.
