LUNCH TIME POLL - December 21, 2011

Does the Mayan calendar predict apocalypse?

The Mayan's Long Count calender ends on December 21, 2012.  The buildup to 2012 echoes excitement and fear expressed on the eve of the new millennium, popularly known as Y2K.  
"Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes', famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Behold I come quickly."    - Luke 21:10-11
(Sept 11th (NewYork), Jan 11th (Haiti) and March 11th (Japan)....) 

Some scientists are watching the possibilities that a hidden asteroid in a stealth-path can destroy human civilization by hitting the earth on the same date when Mayans predicted the end of the world.
("Part of the 2012 mystique stems from the stars. On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years. This means that "whatever energy typically streams to Earth from the center of the Milky Way will indeed be disrupted on 12/21/12 at 11:11 p.m. Universal Time," - Apocalypse 2012: A Scientific Investigation Into Civilization's End by Lawrence Joseph) 


What  should humankind expect on December 21, 2012, when the Maya's "Long Count" calendar marks the end of a 5,126-year era? How do "supporting" bible verses and astrology relate to this date?

Some believe... it will be the end of the world as we know it.

Do you think that the apocalypse is approaching?
Are the wars, earth quakes, natural disasters, famines and pestilences signs? 
Do you think that Judgement Day is near?  
Are you "ready"? Do you care?

  5. How do you get ready for something like this? You cant so dont worry, be happy. If the end is near, there apparently is nothing we can do about it. Just live each day to its fullest and love thy neighbor...No one could stop Sept 11, or Haiti or Japan disasters...we cant stop this. Do you think I should buy my hubby an anniversary gift?
    It's Dec 22!

  6. My teens are always talking about it. I think I've finally convinced them that people have been talking about the end of the world for hundreds of years and we're still here! When I was growing up, it was Nostradamus.
