2012: The End

Lately, its spreading across the globe like wild fire that 21st December 2012 is going to be the dooms day for whole of mankind. I am not sure as to how true this is, but lot of uncertainity does loom around the year 2012. Why 21st December 2012? Because the Mayan Calander ends on that day. The Mayan Civilization lived from 2000BC to 250AD and their calendar was based on the Sun. According to them the Sun will be hidden by the dark rift of our galaxy (The Milky Way) on this fateful day as the Earth, Sun and Galactic equator align. The Mayan's believed this could result in unknown consequences, maybe even spiritual transformation of mankind into new beings. How the Mayans understood all this is beyond my comprehension, but the earth without the sun for even a single day can be a catastrophe.

If that is not bad enough for 2012, there are astronomers who claim that a large planet called Nibiru may collide with Earth in the year 2012. Also the Earth's magnetic field has been weakening in the recent years, which has convinced some scientists that there is a likelihood for geomagnetic reversal to take place during the next 3 years. If the magnetic pole reversal takes place, all electronic communications will stop since they all use EM waves and the human race could be condemned back to the Stone age. The worse that is said to occur during this time are solar flares from the sun that could hit earth which has a destruction force of 100 billion atomic bombs, making one wonder if even bacteria would be able to survive on what is left of Earth.

Even though no human wants the world to end, but deep within everyone realizes that it is inevitable. The world is currently changing at a rapid pace, which makes one wonder if its the last raging fire before its ultimate demise. Every religion says about the end of days and the day of judgement. Jesus Christ said in the book of Matthew that "Soon after the trouble of those days, the sun will grow dark, the moon will no longer shine, the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers in space will be driven from their courses. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky;" (Matthew 24:29-30). How true!! and how agonising it is to realize that this is all happening during our lifetime.

In November of 2009 Hollywood is releasing a movie titled "2012", which will bring out the ghastly horrors that will happen during the final moments of our planet. No hollywood special effects can depict the actual horrors that the world is going to see to a magnitude as the Bible says "For the trouble at that time will be far more terrible than any there has ever been, from the beginning of the world to this very day." (Matthew 24:21).

The Bible also says, "No one knows, however, when that day and hour will come - neither the angels in heaven nor the Son; the Father alone knows." (Matthew 24:36), so I think 21st December 2012 being the end of days is only a reasoning from mere human minds. But what we can draw from all these is that, its a whistleblower to the what is yet to come. The Judgement Day and to be prepared for it. It is here, very near than we think and we are running out of time!
