"There will be signs in the sun, 
                    moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and 
                    perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.” 
                    (Luke 21:25)
                     
                    The year 
                    2012 is lining up as a uniquely pivotal year in many 
                    respects.  Aside 
                    from the fact that some futurists are predicting world wide 
                    food and job riots by then, and the two most powerful 
                    thrones on Earth (US and UN) will be up for election, there 
                    is a never before seen confluence of signs in the heavens 
                    due to arrive then.  
                    In case you've been visiting another planet for the 
                    past couple of years,  
                    here they are. 
                                       
                    Mayan Calendar 
                    Ends. Dec.21, 2012
                    By way of 
                    introduction, somehow the Mayans knew that the Sun travels 
                    in an orbit through the galaxy just like the planets of our 
                    solar system travel in an orbit around the Sun.  They calculated that 
                    it requires 25,625 of our years for the Sun to complete one 
                    circle, called a galactic day.  The Mayans divided 
                    this day into 5 cycles of 5125 years each.  According to their 
                    calendar the current cycle, which is the 
                    5th,  
                    will end on the day we know as Dec. 21, 2012, the 
                    winter solstice.  
                    
                     
                    The Mayan 
                    Calendar does not necessarily predict the world will end on 
                    that day, as some think,  but they did believe 
                    that the Sun, having reached the exact center of the galaxy, 
                    would receive and emit a powerful surge of light from this 
                    alignment and would reverse its polarity.  This would cause a 
                    great cosmic event on Earth and result in the end of life as 
                    we know it.  
                    Below are some modern confirmations that will 
                    demonstrate how startlingly accurate the Mayans were.  They lend more 
                    credibility to the view that the influence of the Nephilim 
                    with their supernatural knowledge might have been much more 
                    widespread than previously thought.  Hints of their 
                    meddling can be seen world wide. 
                     
                    According to 
                    the Mayans, the effect of all this will depend on our 
                    reaction to it.  
                    If, as a civilization, we try to cling to our current 
                    ways we'll suffer chaos and destruction.  But if we change to 
                    become united in one positive consciousness and stop 
                    fighting each other and poisoning our environment we'll 
                    enter our Golden Age.  
                    Sounds straight out of the New Age, doesn't it?  
                     
                                       
                    Magnetic Polar 
                    Reversal, Earth And Sun Combined.  
2012
                    I watched 
                    as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. 
                    The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the 
                    whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to 
                    earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a 
                    strong wind. The sky 
                    receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and 
                    island was removed from its place. (Rev. 
                    6:12-14)
                     
                    Over the 
                    past few years the magnetic North pole has been drifting 
                    across Canada and is headed for Siberia. Also, the Earth's 
                    magnetic field has weakened noticeably when compared to its 
                    strength when scientists began measuring it in 1845. Based 
                    on these findings, some scientists are now convinced that a 
                    reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles is underway. They're 
                    predicting that in 2012 the magnetic field will be at its 
                    weakest and a polar reversal could suddenly and dramatically 
                    take place with the North pole having the polarity of the 
                    South pole and vice versa.
                    In 2012 the 
                    Sun will also experience a polar reversal producing 
                    radiation emissions at their strongest levels in 50 
                    years.   
                    Although the Sun's magnetic poles reverse every 
                    eleven years, in the memory of man the Earth has never 
                    experienced such an event. While no one can predict the 
                    outcome of this double shift, it could produce massive 
                    earthquakes and volcanic eruptions of a magnitude that could 
                    actually cause a measurable continental shift.
                    A study by 
                    the National Academy of Sciences released in early 2009 
                    indicated that a “solar storm” like this could also cause 
                    catastrophic damage to the power grid and other 
                    communications as well, knocking out satellites, phones, and 
                    computers.  They 
                    confirmed that the 2012 event would be more severe than 
                    others we've experienced in the past. 
                    If this 
                    reversal caused the magnetic field around Earth to collapse, 
                    the effect would be even more severe. According to some 
                    projections, the electromagnetic energy released from the 
                    sun during a polar reversal could cause Earth's upper 
                    atmosphere to "erupt in flames" if our magnetic field isn't 
                    there to deflect it. Was John referring to this in saying 
                    the sky vanished like a scroll being rolled up? No one 
                    knows. We can only imagine what a sudden reversal of 
                    magnetic poles would do to life on Earth. Predictions range 
                    all the way from a temporary increase in the frequency and 
                    severity of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes to a 
                    worldwide disaster of "Biblical proportions."

                    At The Center Of The Milky Way.  Dec. 21, 2012 
                    
                    Then 
                    the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the 
                    altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of 
                    thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an 
                    earthquake.(Rev. 8:5)
                    The 
                    mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. 
                    (Psalm 114:4)
                    In December 
                    2012 the Sun will reach the exact center of the Milky Way 
                    Galaxy, as the Mayans predicted, with all the planets lined 
                    up in their orbits behind it, like little chicks behind 
                    their mother.  
                    Some scientists believe this will amplify the Sun's 
                    gravitational pull on Earth causing increased instability in 
                    its inner core.  
                    They say the increased gravitational pull combined 
                    with  increased 
                    radiation from the twin polar reversals will heat the 
                    Earth's molten core and cause it to spin faster.  This could result in 
                    anything from more frequent and more powerful earthquakes to 
                    volcanic eruptions, great tsunamis and even displacement of 
                    the Earth's crust.

                    The second angel sounded his 
                    trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was 
                    thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, a 
                    third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third 
                    of the ships were destroyed.
                     
                    The third 
                    angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a 
                    torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the 
                    springs of water— the name of the 
                    star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and 
                    many people died from the waters that had become bitter. 
                    (Rev. 8:8-11)
                     
                    Planet X has 
                    been the subject of much debate among scientists,  both as to its 
                    actual existence and its name. Some refer to  Planet X as Nibiru, 
                    a large planet listed in 5000 year old Sumerian tablets, but 
                    missing from the solar system today.  Others say it's 
                    Rahab, the ancient seat of Satan, hinted at in Job 9:13 & 26:12, Psalm 87:4 & 89:10, and in 
                    Isaiah 30:7 & 51:9.  Those who advocate 
                    for its existence say it's been privately tracked by NASA 
                    since the 1980's and both the New York Times and the 
                    Washington Post have speculated about its appearance in the 
                    sky. Documented naked eye sightings from the Southern 
                    Hemisphere are also claimed.   
                    
                     
                    The name Rahab appears in the Old 
                    Testament a total of 11 times.  Five times it refers to 
                    the Rahab of Jericho who hid the 2 spies, was the mother of 
                    Boaz, and appears in the Lord’s genealogy.  The other 
                    six times, listed above, it does not.  Some believe 
                    these other references are to a planet that was once part of 
                    our Solar system and that Satan and his followers inhabited 
                    along with Earth and Mars.   These people 
                    disagree as to whether it was originally our 5th or 6th 
                    planet, but supposedly these three planets were judged at 
                    the time of Satan’s rebellion in the gap between 
                    Genesis 1 :1 & 1:2 . They also disagree 
                    as to whether it was completely destroyed leaving only the 
                    asteroid belt as a memorial, or was sent spinning out into 
                    the far reaches of the universe, or some combination of the 
                    two.  Proponents of the partial destruction theory say 
                    that the remnant of the planet Rahab can now be seen again, 
                    and that God will use it to effect some of the judgments of 
                    Revelation.
                    To many, 
                    this idea of Satan's Kingdom planet re-entering our solar 
                    system is wild conjecture.  After all, they say, 
                    it was  
                    developed out of a study combining the apocryphal 
                    Book of Enoch with the application of ELS (Equi-distant 
                    Letter Sequencing), commonly known as the Bible 
                    Codes.   But if we’re as close to the end as I 
                    think we are, it won’t be long until we know whether the 
                    Rahab theories are truth or fiction. For what it's worth, 
                    some believe Nostradamus predicted a comet/planet coming in 
                    2012.
                    In any 
                    case,  whether 
                    you call it X, or Nibiru, or Rahab, there are some serious 
                    people who believe it's headed our way and will at least 
                    come dangerously close to Earth in 2012, showering us with 
                    the asteroids it has captured and causing great damage on 
                    Earth.  
                                       
                    What's The 
                    Point?
                    The short 
                    answer to the title question is, “No.  2012 will not be the 
                    end of the world.”  
                    But without attempting to tie these predicted events 
                    to specific prophecies, I think it's interesting to see how 
                    similar the Biblical descriptions of end times judgments are 
                    to the scientific view of possible coming events.  Due to the nearness 
                    of 2012, I only used verses from Revelation that describe 
                    judgments during the first half of Daniel's 70th 
                    Week , before the Great Tribulation even begins. After that 
                    it gets much worse very quickly.
                    See, the 
                    day of the LORD is coming —a cruel day, with wrath and 
                    fierce anger—  
                    to make the land desolate  and destroy the 
                    sinners within it. 
                    The stars of heaven and their 
                    constellations  
                    will not show their light.  The rising sun will 
                    be darkened  and 
                    the moon will not give its light. 
                    I will punish the world for its 
                    evil,  the 
                    wicked for their sins.  
                    I will put an end to the arrogance of the 
                    haughty  and 
                    will humble the pride of the ruthless.  I will make man 
                    scarcer than pure gold,  more rare than the 
                    gold of Ophir. 
                    Therefore I will make the heavens 
                    tremble;  and 
                    the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of the LORD 
                    Almighty, in the day of his burning anger. (Isaiah 
                    13:9-13)
                    So what will 
                    the 2012 disasters accomplish?  I believe that God 
                    will use these and other End Times judgments to begin 
                    putting the Earth back into the condition it was when He 
                    gave it to Adam.   
                    Remember, Jesus called the Millennium the time of 
                    restoration of all things (Matt. 19:28) and Paul said 
                    the whole creation has been groaning in anticipation of 
                    being liberated from the bondage it was subjected to. 
                    (Romans 8:20-21).  And at the beginning 
                    of the Millennium God will proclaim, “I am making 
                    everything new.” (Rev.  21:5)
                     
                    Since the 
                    creation, mountains have been pushed up and valleys made 
                    lower to contain the enormous amounts of water generated in 
                    the Great Flood.  
                    The protective water vapor canopy that permitted long 
                    life spans in pre-flood times collapsed at the time of the 
                    Flood.  Earth's 
                    land mass has been pushed apart to form the current 
                    continents and islands, the Earth's orbit has been extended 
                    by 5 ¼ days, and its axis tilted by 23.44 degrees.  All this and more 
                    will have to be fixed in order for Earth to once again be 
                    the paradise it was created to be.   
                     
                    You and I 
                    will view all of this from the mezzanine during our time of 
                    repose with the Lord.  
                    On Earth it will be the beginning of the most 
                    terrible time known to man.
                     
                    Woe to you 
                    who long for the day of the LORD!  Why do you long for 
                    the day of the LORD ?  
                    That day will be darkness, not light.  It will be as though 
                    a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear,  as though he entered 
                    his house  and 
                    rested his hand on the wall  only to have a snake 
                    bite him.  Will not the day of 
                    the LORD be darkness, not light—pitch-dark, without a ray of 
                    brightness? (Amos 5:18-20)  You can almost hear 
                    the Footsteps of the Messiah (08-29-09)
