april 2012 end of the world
December 21st,2012-How did all the rumors get started about December 2012 and how do we know the end is near?
I am so sick of hearing that the world will end in December 2012, hearing about that has bought tears to my eyes because I don't want the world to end because if the world ends that means no more Christmas holiday, I have found a website that you can go to, you might not have been to this site before,

Meso-American star charting started around 680 B.C. by the Olmec civilization who were recording astrological patterns in the sky and eventually shared this information with the Mayans. The Mayans had a long history of tracking the winter solstice (probably for planting crops), and creating calendars (at least 17 that we know of). At some point, they developed the belief that our sun is a god and that the Milky Way, called the “Sacred Tree,” was a gateway to the afterlife. After learning from the Olmecs, they began keeping records of the stars’ patterns of movement and continued to do so for the next 200-300 years. The Mayans then developed their own calendar (The Long Count) c.a. 355 B.C. They were able to use their observations and mathematical prowess to calculate the future movements of stars across the sky. The result was that the Mayans discovered the effect of the earth’s wobbling as it spins on its axis. This wobbling rotation causes the stars’ patterns of movement to drift gradually in the sky (called “precession”) in a 5125 year cycle. The Mayans also discovered that once every cycle the dark band at center of the Milky Way (called the Galactic Equator) intersects with the Elliptical (the plane of the sun’s movement across the sky).
During that year, the sun reaches its solstice (a brief moment when the sun’s position in the sky is at its greatest angular distance on the other side of the equatorial plane from the observer), on Dec 21st for the Northern Hemisphere and June 21st for the Southern Hemisphere. That year, the solstice occurs at the moment of the conjunction of the Galactic Equator with the Milky Way. The year this occurs (in relation to our Gregorian calendar) is the year 2012 A.D., and happened last on August 11, 3114 B.C. With Mayan mythology teaching that our sun is a god and the Milky Way is the gateway to life and death, the Mayans concluded that this intersection in the past must have been the moment of creation. Mayan hieroglyphs seem to indicate vaguely that they believed the next intersection in 2012, would be some sort of end and a new beginning of a cycle. The Mayans also believed that the blood of human sacrifices was what powered the sun and gave it life.
All the so called “Mayan prophesies of 2012” are nothing more than wildly speculative extrapolations, which are based on the yet uncertain interpretations by scholars of Mayan hieroglyphs. However, the truth is that apart from the astrological convergence, there is little indication that the Mayans prophesied anything specific regarding the events of this distant future. The Mayans were not prophets; they were not even able to predict their own cultural extinction. They were great mathematicians and accomplished sky watchers, but they were also a brutally violent tribal people with a primitive understanding of natural phenomena, subscribing to archaic beliefs and the barbaric practices of blood-letting and human sacrifice.
There is absolutely nothing in the Bible that would present December 21, 2012 as the end of the world. While that date is no less valid for an end-times event than any other future date, the Bible nowhere presents the astronomical phenomena the Mayans pointed to as a sign of the end times. It would seem very inconsistent of God to allow the Mayans to discover such an amazing truth while keeping the many Old Testament prophets ignorant of the timing of the events. In summary, there is absolutely no biblical evidence that the 2012 Mayan prophesy / prediction of doomsday is in any sense valid or probable.
Accepting the Mayan 2012 prophesy logically requires acceptance of the following theories: our sun is a god; the sun is powered by the blood of human sacrifice; the creation moment occurred at 3114 B.C. (despite all evidence that it happened much earlier); and the visual alignment of stars has some significance for everyday human life. Like every other false religion, Mayans sought to elevate to the point of worship that which was created in place of the Creator Himself. The Bible tells us about such people: “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator…”(Romans 1:25), and “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – His eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse” (Romans 1:20). To accept the Mayan 2012 prophesy also denies the clear biblical teaching about the end of the world, because Jesus told us “…of that day and hour no one knows, no, not the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father” (Mark 13:32).

Twa flight 800: 230 people died
explosion occured in seats 23J and 23K
The mayans believed the end of the world would occur on December 23rd of the year 2012
20+1+2=23
September 11th 2001
9+11+2+0+0+1=23
There are more reported UFO sightings on July 23rd than any other day
fate = 32 - 23 reversed
The world spins in an axis of 23degrees (actually 23.5 degrees)
5 is 2+3
The human body consists of 46 chromosomes 23 from each parent
Kurt Cobain was born in 1967 and died in 1994
1+9+6+7=23
1+9+9+4=23
Hitler killed himself in April 1945
4+1+9+4+5=23
Caesar was stabbed a total of 23 times
what do you think?
you can make up enigmas out of any number..what do the mayans know anyway they did`nt see their end coming!
Haiti and Turkey are North of the Equator
there are many Earthquakes everyday. Big earthquakes aren't that rare, its just bad luck if they are near big cities.
