Armageddon 2012: Is It the End of the World?- By: Jimmy Barlow

Description : Armageddon 2012 or the 2012 phenomenon is composed of various catastrophic or trans-formative incidents that will occur on December 21, 2012. The said date is also the finish of Mayan Long calendar’s 5,125 years.

According to New Age believers, the world is about the experience a spiritual transformation during this time and therefore interprets the 2012 predictions as the start, instead of the end of the world. However, based on the Book of Revelations, many people interpret that this date is the end of the world. Among the possible scenarios that would end the world include the planet’s clash with another planet (called Nibiru), black hole explosion, or the coming of the next solar maximum. In anticipation of the advent of that day, some people even launched 2012 official countdown.

The Mayan Calendar was constructed around 250-900 AD by an advanced civilization called the Mayans. The Mayan civilization was outstanding during their times because they were skillful in writing, construction, and urban planning. Mayans are also famous for their pyramids and complex buildings. In addition, the Mayans were avid users of calendars and considered time as spiritual cycles. The calendars that they used were short, combined each of their calendars, and created the 5,125 years Mayan Long calendar. Is there a relationship between the end of their calendar and the end of the world? According to scientists, there is not enough bases that something bad, or Doomsday, would occur when the long calendar runs out of date.

Another prediction about December 21, 2012 is the coronal mass ejection from the sun. In 1859, the same catastrophe happened, when a solar storm occurred, which brought about failures in the telegraph systems in North America and Europe. This is said to happen again in the year 2012, in addition to widespread massive blackouts and satellite wreckage,

Another prophecy is the explosion of black hole. Accordingly, such incident will bring about cosmic ray waves that can cause massive destructive tsunamis in the planet.

Will the world end on Doomsday? When something ends, many people assume the extreme possibilities of ending. Contrary to what many say, the Mayans actually predicted an enlightenment happening when 2012 comes. Universal wreckage, Aztec end of the world, and Mayan Long calendar prophecy have no real basis. The Mayan never mentioned that Doomsday would happen on 2012. In fact, scholars from various disciplines have already dismissed the notion of cataclysmic events happening in 2012. This is just similar to the Y2K fear that occurred in the late 1990s according to NASA.

The Armageddon 2012 prophecy has been talked about for decades. There are two sides of the coin- one says there will be global destruction, while the other says there will be enlightenment. The people may never know if Armageddon is for real until such time that the day occurs.
