 Biblical
Response - Dec 21, 2012
Recently I have come across the idea going
on around about Dec. 21, 2012.
This is what they say:-
“There are prophecies and oracles from
around the world that all seem to point to December
21, 2012 as doomsday. The ancient Mayan Calendar,
the medieval predictions of Merlin, the Book
of Revelation and the Chinese oracle of the I
Ching all point to this specific date as the
end of civilization. A new technology called “The
Web-Bot Project” makes massive scans of
the internet as a means of forecasting the future… and
has turned up the same dreaded date: 2012. Skeptics
point to a long history of “Failed Doomsdays”,
but many oracles of doom throughout history have
a disturbingly accurate track record. ”
I thought I should write about here so that
people who don’t know will get an idea
about it and I will also try to give a Biblical
response to it and also mention what Bible says
about all this. Read it with an open mind and
feel to ask me questions if you have any.
What is going to happen on Dec 21, 2012?
There is a common belief that according to Mayan
Calendar the end of the world will happen in
Dec. 21, 2012. The Maya calendar is actually
a system of distinct calendars and almanacs used
by the Maya Civilization of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica,
and by some modern Maya communities in highland
Guatemala. These calendars could be synchronised
and interlocked in complex ways, their combinations
giving rise to further, more extensive cycles.
The essentials of the Maya calendric system are
based upon a system which had been in common
use throughout the region, dating back to at
least the 6th Century BCE. It shares many aspects
with calendars employed by other earlier Mesoamerican
civilizations, such as the Zapotec and Olmec,
and contemporary or later ones such as the Mixtec
and Aztec Calenders. Although the Mesoamerican
Calender did not originate with the Maya, their
subsequent extensions and refinements of it were
the most sophisticated. Along with those of the
Aztecs, the Maya calendars are the best-documented
and most completely understood.
THE WEB BOT PROJECT
More on the Web-Bot Project referenced in the
show’s PR blurb quoted above: They seem
to use a program ’spider’ to scan
the internet for patterns of great complexity
which they somehow read into current and future
events. They use them to make predictions. My
impression is, they see patterns, imagine they
see vague sorts of events in the patterns, decide
it’s a prediction, and when something in
real life perchance matches up to their vague
prediction they call it a “hit”.
Now it is believed that this Calender end on
Dec 21, 2012 and hence people believe that its
will be the ned of the world and thats the reason
there is no more prophecy or events written beyond
that day. Hence people think that world will
come to an end on that day. If you want to learn
more about it then you can search for it and
you will get lot of information about it.
Actually, the Mayan calendar doesn’t actually
end on 21 DEC 2012. It simply marks the end of
an Age. The calendar is made up of a series of
three calendar “circles”. They all
just begin again, as they have in the past.
Why do people believe in it?
People believe it because they say that what
ever it predicted in the past has come to pass
and hence this will also come to pass. Also people
have come up with few scientific discoveries
to prove the fact that there will be a big disaster.
Now some has even tried to interpret the Book
of Revelation from Bible and come to some conclusion
that Dec. 21, 2012 will be the last day of the
world.
There has been few who have come up with their
own ideas to support this. One example is Mataji
Nirmal Devi. She has tried to quote many things
which Jesus said in Bible and took few things
from different places. But the fallacy there
is that she said at one place “ But
today it is the day I declare I am the One who
have to save the humanity.” More
information can be found on their web site about
all her claims. A person who knows the bible
can easily understand all the misinterpretation
which is given on there. I am sure in the coming
days many more will come and may have already
come who will try to take advantage of these
things. That will fulfil What Jesus Spoke.
What is Science saying about it?
Science and theology (study about God) has always
been on conflict with each other starting with
the idea of evolution and creation. Bible clearly
speaks about creation and has nothing to say
about Big Bang theory. Now the fine tunning of
Earth out of all the planets of the universe
itself shows that there is someone behind it
and nothing is accident. So it shows that there
is a intelligent designer behind everything and
thats what we say as God. British scientists
Hoyle and Wickramasinghe estimated that the chances
of life evolving from the random shuffling of
organic molecules is virtually zero. They calculated
that there is only one chance in 10/20 to form
a single enzyme, and just one chance in 10/40,000
to produce the approximately 2,000 enzymes that
exist. However, Hoyle and Wickramasinghe point
out that the production of enzymes is only one
step in the generation of life. Therefore, they
concluded there must be some type of Cosmic Intelligence
to explain the origin of life. Hoyle compared
the probability of life spontaneously generating
from non-life as equivalent to the chances of
a tornado producing a Boeing 747 from a junkyard.
Now Science has also certain things to say about
Dec 21, 2012. There are people who claim that
sun will be hidden behind the moon and it will
not give light to earth and also few who says
that there will be a sudden change in earth poles
and change in gravitational forces.
Based on what is happenening with sun spots,
and the Earth’s position in the Milky Way,
doomsday is a real threat to our existence as
we know it. Scientists also know the Frequency
Hum in the Earth is Rising. Our Earth Hum was
a constant 7.8 Cycle frequency. we used that
7 cycle format for almost all communications
since it is the Baseline. In the Past few years,
the Earth’s Hum is Changing. The Frequency
is rising and has been recorded past 11 cycle
format. Right now the Earth Raised about 4 solid
cycles in frequency measurements. Scientists
believe this raise in Frequency goes directly
hand and hand with the Poles getting ready to
flip. That’s right, Earths Magnetic Properties
are changing. The North Side Will Soon Point
South, and South Will point North. The Earth
Will Flip 120 degrees. Also it speaks about Brain
frequency and sine Waves. We know that Change
in frequency affect the brains reception guidelines.
In other words, If you use a frequency brain
stimulation machine doctors can enhance, change,
and alter a persons senses. If two frequencies
are transmitted with a small gap between them,
Like 400Hz and 410Hz The brain will even out
the difference naturally make the brain produce
a 3rd tone. This 3rd tone made by your brain
is a pure Sine wave. The sine-wave will be a
10 Hz tone. Experimenting through the whole range
of alpha and theta waves ( from 5 - 12 Hz) it
was found that a combination of frequencies consistently
caused a complete shift in consciousness. So
when the Earths Frequencies finish their change,
our senses and brain thought pattern will be
seriously deformed. Our electrical body pulses
that control every move your body makes, will
adjust itself to the Earth.
What’s the response from a Biblical
Perspective?
From a Biblical perspective I can say that we
cannot be sure of this particular date. But the
things which are mentioned as will happen will
happen as many of the things are found in the
Bible. Whatever is happening in the world simply
proves that the Bible accound is clear. When
we read the scientific facts then we can be more
sure. There are many signs mentioned in the Bible
as end time signs and we can see most of the
things happening. So from a Biblical perspective
we cannot be sure of the date but one thing is
sure i.e. Earth will be destroyed as God’s
Judgement.
What does Bible Say about End Times?
Now dear friend, you might be bit confused if
you are not aware of the message of Bible. Let
me give you a small idea about what Bible teaches
about human beings and how can a person get salvation.
After that I will write about End Times.
Now in the begining God Created the heavens
and the earth. Now Bible says that God created
the Earth in 6 days and on the Seventh day he
rested. Thats why we have 7 days week. After
he created everything he also Created Man i.e
Adam. Now it says that God created Man in his
own image. You may wonder why human beings are
so different from all other animals. Man was
created in the image of God. Now after that God
also created women i.e Eve as a companion for
Adam. So in God’s Creation man had a special
place. Now God placed them in a Garden called
Eden Garden and allowed them to eat the fruits
of all tree expect one tree i.e. Tree of Knowledge
of Good and Evil. But they didn’t obey
and ate it and hence they sinned against God.
There is a whole story as who tempted them to
eat and all and if you are interested I will
explain later but not in this post. So man was
separated from God due to Sin. Jesus came in
to this world to give salvation to the mankind
which was lost in Sin. He was the Son of God
and took a virgin birth. He died on the cross
and was raised from dead on 3rd day. So now whoever
believes in him have eternal life.
We will have to go to 1 out of 2 place- Heaven
or Hell. Jesus said who ever will receive him
will go to heaven and whoever rejects him will
go to hell for eternal condemnation. When God
created this world he created it so that Man
will lead a good life. But we can see how sinful
the Man has become on the earth. We hear of same-sex
marriage, prostitution, abortion, people without
shame ready to show their nakedness in media
and Internet, films promoting ideas which are
against the law of nature, pronography taking
hold of people, people killing each other etc.
We hear of reports that Wife killed husband to
live with her lover. I don’t need to mention
more but we can very well understand that man’s
moral standards have gone down and the world
which was created as a beautiful place by God
has been polluted in every manner. We see that
due to the things which man did the environment
has also got effected. We also know of diseases
like AIDS whose origin is in the sinful actions
of man. It was always been God’s plan that
Man should have one wife and they should remain
loyal to each other. But we know whats happening
all around the world. We have TV shows which
promote evil practices like couple- exchange.
All these things are abominable in the sight
of God and due to all this we see that Bible
predicts a Judgement of the Earth from God.
A Good parallel about present times can be found
in the events which happened during the times
of Noah. I will write about it in another post.
Now only way to save yourself from this eternal
condemnation is to receive Jesus as your savior
and lead a life which is pleasing to God. Basic
Steps to Receive Jesus is:-
- Accept that you are a sinner and you need
God.
- Believe that Jesus died for your sins and
rose again.
- Confess Jesus as Lord of your life.
After this you can read Bible to know more about
God and understand the things we are supposed
to do. Also attend a good church so that you
can grow in Jesus Christ.
So this world awaits a Judgement from God. But
the question is are we prepared to face it when
it comes. Some people think that there is no
way to escape out of it but we know that there
is a clear way out of it. This is a matter concering
our eternity and we should be very serious about
it.
