The Mayan Long Count Calendar is amazing. It is said to be more accurate than our current calendar. However, the majority of reputable and prominent scholars discount the "doomsday theory" argument.
It mentions a few dates that come after December 21, 2012. This is just the end of the 13th Buku (sp?) and the start of a "new cycle."
The calendar is extremely accurate and it is amazing to know how in touch the Mayans were with astronomy and the earth, especially for being so early in recorded history.
"Maya stelae occasionally show dates beyond 2012. Most of these are in the form of "distance dates", where a Long Count date is given with a distance date to be added. For example, on the Tablet of Inscriptions from Palenque the following Long Count date was found: 9.8.9.13.0 8 Ahau 13 Pop (24 March 603 Gregorian) with a distance date of 10.11.10.5.8. The resulting date is given as 1.0.0.0.0.8 5 Lamat 1 Mol,[11] or October 21, 4772 – almost 3,000 years into the future.
The king Pacal of Palenque predicted that on this date the eightieth Calendar Round anniversary of his accession will be celebrated, suggesting he did not believe the world would end in 2012.[12]"
Despite the publicity generated by the 2012 date, Susan Milbrath, curator of Latin American Art and Archaeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History, stated that "We [the archaeological community] have no record or knowledge that [the Maya] would think the world would come to an end" in 2012.[13]
"For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. in Crystal River, Florida. To render December 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."[14]"
Here are three dates argued to be when the Mayan Long Count Calendar began:
8 Sep 3114 BC (Julian) = 13 Aug 3114 BC (Gregorian)
6 Sep 3114 BC (Julian) = 11 Aug 3114 BC (Gregorian)
11 Nov 3374 BC (Julian) = 15 Oct 3374 BC (Gregorian)
In short, humans don't need some special or magical force to bring about the end of our species, we can do that on our own quite well. The world will end one day, yes, but it won't be for a long time. Now, does that mean the world we know will not be destroyed? Not at all. It may be almost completely thrashed, but we will live on, just not in the way we're used to living, like today. A lot less structure, order and balance, but life will go on. The Mayan Calendar merely is switching to a new counting period, sort of like us switching to a new millennium in a way, but not quite.
Maya elder Don Alejandro in Pittsburgh 2012 prophecy Part 1
Do you believe the end of the 5th solar era is going to be on December 23rd,2012?
According to the Maya Calendar,the end of the 5th Solar Era is at its end on December 23rd,2012.Note,the Maya Calendar is the most exact calendar that ever existed.That practically means,the end of the world is going to happen on that date,or at least around that date.
Do you really believe that our world will perish when that date will approach? Do you believe that all those prophecies were,after all,true? If yes,what are you going to do?And WHY do you believe it's true. If no,explain why.
This is a matter of opinion really,so,no getting personal with each other please.:)
Thnx.:)
Do not worry. Do not be scared. I assure you that the world will not end on 2012 December 21 but it will end one day. Nostradamus’ prediction of when the earth will end is far into the future, past about 3700. He still has many prophecies that are not fulfilled yet. Remember that if there is a beginning, there is an end.
The Mayan’s Mesoamerican Long Count calendar forms the basis for a New Age belief, first forecast by Jose Arguelles, that a cataclysm will take place on or about 2012 December 21 (Wikipedia). It will be the end of a Mayan calendar cycle to start a new cycle.
In the book of Revelation, it tells us about a period of a thousand years of peace. Has this occurred already since the time of Jesus? Not yet. That will still come. Those that give predictions of the world’s end, such as 2012 and numerous times during the past, are pseudo-preachers. Have they talked to God directly? If so, give proofs.
But there is something that is certain—and that is our physical death. This is what we should prepare for. It may come when least expected. We do not know the day and the hour. It will come like a thief in the night. So we just have to be prepared all the time. Search for the true God and when we find Him, follow His commandments and remain in Him until our last dying breath.
This is all that we have to do. It is faith in the true God that we can take with us when we depart from this world. If we denied Him, He will deny us also before the Father in Heaven and send us to Hell. This is very scary – to live in Hell forever. If we knew Him and loved Him and followed His commandments, then He may reward us to live with Him eternally in His kingdom in Heaven. This is the survival kit that we should have.
What is also certain to happen very soon (in about 2012 or earlier) is World War III and this is a nuclear war. This “calamitous war” (as Nostradamus called it) will start from the Philippines, at Spratly Islands in particular. The Spratly Islands lie on the southeast part of the South China Sea mostly near the coast of the Philippines. The Holy Spirit told us that the Philippines is the wick of a gas lamp. Once the wick is lit, it will be on and aglow. He told us about this prophecy about two decades ago. He said that the troubles in the Philippines will spread to the whole world until mankind is almost annihilated and a few will remain. Spratly Islands is being claimed wholly by China, Taiwan and Vietnam; and partly by Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines, It is considered a tinderbox, a flash point. It is very rich in oil and gas resources, more than the reserve of Kuwait. The high price of oil may trigger the grabbing of these islands and start the war.
Four independent prophecies point to the certainty that this will happen. These are Nostradamus’ prophecies to happen around this time (quatrains 6:24 and 2:62) , the 56th Chinese prophecy of Tuey Bei Tu (the past 55 prophecies have already been fulfilled) found at http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1..., Revelation 9:18 of the Holy Bible, and those that the Holy Spirit revealed to us. If you are interested in the details about these prophecies, please send me your request via email.
After the calamitous war, then we will have a new age and peace for a long time. The population would have been reduced by a third and there will be much arable land that will be available. People will be living in proper cities.
Isaiah 35:4 (KJV) states: “Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you.”
