year 2012

Question

Ok, so my boyfriend is really into the history channel and what not, and every time the segment about the world ending in 2012 comes on of course he has to watch it. Just the thought of the world ending gives me SO MUCH anxiety to wear my mind starts racing with thoughts and i just feel overwhelmed, I mean im 22 years old and i have two little ones! IDK maybe im crazy or something, my boyfriend just laughs at me when i tell him how upset that stuff makes me. So what do you think, will it end in 2012?

Dont worry, its a mistranslation really. Thats all it is. The Mayans predicted this age we're in now would end in 2012 and a new one starts after.

Its matthew 24:36

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father"

I love this verse because anyone with faith will completely dismiss the 2012 prophecies. If Jesus doesn't even know when the end is how in the world would the Mayans know?

just read that verse whenever you feel anxious about 2012..it will help :)

If you're religious at all the bible specifically states that NO one knows the date of the end of the world so it would be impossible to predict it. I always keep that in my mind. If you'd like I can find the verse for you. Just let me know. Its very calming to me..especially with all the 2012 hype.

Besides, they don't know that 2012 is actually the year -- it's just a guess.  But think about it, how would the Mayans have known when the world would end?  And how do you know this wasn't the hundredth calendar they devised but the only one we're obsessed with?  The world will end when the sun burns out, though humans might disappear long before that, so it isn't the world the Mayans were talking about, it was the Mayans.  They certainly weren't talking about the Chinese.

Soooo many "prophets" have predicted the world's end a million times...heck, just in MY lifetime, I can think of about 4 or 5 "years" it was supposed to happen..and we're still here.  That has been going on since the beginning of time.  Bunch of bunk!  

I would share with your BF that this stuff makes you anxious and that you would prefer him not watching it in front of you or discussing it with you.  Some things just bother us so much more, where others can watch it unphased!

I really dont think it will happen. But if by some chance it does, it does. Worrying about it isnt going to chance that one bit except take away the time spent living! It is just a myth I believe so I wouldnt let it bother you. If they really believed the world was going to end I think that they would be doing everything in their power to start prevention or preparation.

No, neither do the mayans or whoever it was that made the calander.  I watched a show on TV and the natives who wrote that basicaly said that it was for no reason that they ended the calander at 2012....it was just random.  Remember when it went from 1999 to 2000? Everyone was FREAKING out cause for some reason people thought all technology would shut off.  It never did....and now we can look back on that and see how silly a theory that was.  The world will not end in 2012, so do not worry! You can look up articles about it on the internet...
