I am not familiar with the Mayans and their calender nor I've studied about them except from a few writings which can be found in the internet.
As I browse through the web, I did not find any thing about Mayan Calendar that directly say that the world will end on December 2012, though there are suggestion or calculation that the bak'tuns in the Mayan calender end on 21 or 23 of this year's December. So, I came to the conclusion that it was just a rumor.
Obviously, the rumor had made me curious about the Mayans and their calender, but it never made me believed or convinced a bit that the world will end this year or on the suggested given date.
Some people made up that rumor because we human beings are foolish enough and that we are careless on adding up things and fond enough of exaggerating about it.
There are also some people who claims to be interpreter and interpreted things wrongly though they may have interpreted some things truly or slightly truly, but that does not mean that their predictions are completely trust worthy on their interpretation.
I advise such men to be careful on their professed calling as it cannot be relied upon for it is a part of the secret work of the Devil. Of course, the secret of deception, the secret of the Devil in order to deceive the world is to appear as true and sometimes be true. In other words, partly true and partly false. Thus many people have been deceived.
Likewise I also believed that many people believed or were being deceived that the world will end this year or at least a secret fear in many hearts was instilled from the interpretations and suggestions of the Mayan's Calendar.
Boldly and confidently says I, the world will not come to an end this year as many people may have believed or been deceived. There will be no such cataclysm or apocalypse on 21 or 23 December, which date is believed to be the end date of Bak'tuns in Mayan calender. This should not be mistook with ordinary natural events that may or may not come to pass in times.
But certainly the end of the world is approaching nearer but no one knows and no one was, is and will be able to tell the time as Jesus Christ the Holy Saviour had said, "No one knows when that day or hour will come. Even the angels in heaven and the Son don't know. Only the Father knows. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man." (Mark 13: 32, 33)
Though we may sense about the nearness of it, "Learn from the story of the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and it sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. So likewise, when you see all these things, you know that He is near, at the door. Truly I am saying to you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things comes to pass. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words will not pass away." (Matt. 24: 32 - 34)
From one of Nostradamus predictions let me make my point clear about this year, that the world will not end:
'In the year 1999, seven month,
From the sky will come the great King of Terror.
To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols.
Before and after Mars to reign by good luck.'
Again, imperfect, false confident or interpreters have interpreted or suggested Nostradamus the above predictions to doomsday or any thing that which the quatrain does not mean at all, and may also have instill fear in many hearts. Such men or any men should not interprets anything confidently as true unless they know the real truth from God, the Father above.
Anyway, the prediction does not mean as we thought about it. Nostradamus had given the year and the month when the great King of Terror will come from the sky and truly it has come to pass.
Terror means extreme fear. The Terror in the quatrain refers to extreme fear instilled in the heart by one's aspect toward something not the extreme fear that is instilled in the heart by something's true nature brings or can and usually brings destruction or pain or both.
Truly, the King of Terror which came from the sky was solar eclipse and it has come to pass in the year 1999 on 11th of the eight month or month of August according to Gregorian calendar, which was seen in Europe and Asia.
We should know that the ancient king of terror in the sky is solar eclipse, especially to many who does not know much about it, even to these days as there still are ignorant and superstitious people.
Nostradamus may not be wrong about the month as there was ten days difference between Gregorian and Julian calendar, and that it increases in three days every four centuries or maybe the time was just slightly mispredicted as most prediction tends to have timing problems except the Bible. I admit I don't know how the difference between the two calendar really is, but whatever it may be the main subject had fulfilled the prediction.
We are not to worry about the King of Mongols either as the first two line did not came to be and passed as many people believed, interpreted or suggested. So, the King of Mongols will come to pass in the predicted times, if it has not come to pass or is not passing by.
As we continue reading down the few remaining future predictions of Nostradamus, we also came to discover that he was also speaking about some events that will come to pass before a time that which he himself could not foresee anymore.
Thus, these things does not tell us that cataclysm or apocalypse will come to pass this year, but it certainly tells us that it is or we are living in the last of the times.
What I'm trying to share through this post is what you may have grabbed through your mind but also not to worry or spend your days in fear that the world will come to end this year on 21 or 23 December or whatever date it may be, for the world will not come to an end this year. In other words, cataclysm or apocalypse will not come to pass but the world will pass by 2012 as if nothing happened as it always does.
Hurrah! Be happy! Or are we still going to suspect about that? I understand even if some among us do as we have been the victim of deception so many times for so long and that we have become suspicious on everything, and confuses us on what to believe and whats not.
