There is much controversy concerning the end of this year, with all the
media hype around the Mayan calendar. As the Aztec Press points out, it is
merely the end of the long-count
calendar.
What is beginning is a new cyclical count on the Mayan calendar, lasting
144,000 days.

What the Aztec press fails to tell you though, is that not only does the
Mayan calendar end, but they believe that their serpent god
Kulkulkan returns. The Aztecs believe
their plumed serpent god (winged serpentine angel?)
Queztzelcoatl returns. The Cherokee also end their calendar, and
have a belief in a returning god during this time, and the earth entering into
a new era, a golden age of sorts.

This is completely believed and anticipated by the so-called
'Light-workers,' who belief New Age religion. Most in America are familiar with
the song, "
The Age of Aquarius," with the famous chorus,
"
It's the Dawning of the age of Aquarius..." first
popularized in the 60s. By date, the earth will supposedly be moving into the
center of the Milky Way galaxy, and moving into the constellation of Aquarius.
Also of particular note is that the Pope is in poor health, is 85 years old,
and, most notably, is pope #111 according to St. Malachy's
prophecy. In the prophecy, number 112
is the final pope,
Petrus Romanus (Peter the Roman), who will be the
false prophet, and will lead many astray. That's easy to write off as
anti-Catholic bias, but the prophecy was made by a Catholic monk. The really
interesting thing is that the prophecy has played out accurately, move over
Nostradamus!
Just a few days ago, the pope appointed six new Cardinals to his conclave,
that will choose his successor.
3 It has been an interesting year for the aged
man. There was a leak and a scare about an assassination attempt on his life
earlier this year, but that was foiled. It appears the pope is ready to retire
his post, or pass it on, because he knows something we don't.
Seemingly unrelated, all these prophecies are tied together from a Christian
Biblical perspective. In Genesis, Satan, or Lucifer, is embodied in a serpent,
to tempt the first humans. In the last days before Christ returns to set up his
millennial reign upon earth, a man "incarnated" with the devil
becomes the world ruler. He finally achieves what he offered Jesus in the
wilderness of Israel (Mat. 4:8-10). Indeed, he was/is the ruler of the world (1
Jn. 5:19; Eph. 2:2; 2 Cor. 4:4), yet he could not yet have the worship of the
entire world. The Bible says that in the final seven years, he will have it, or
the person is executed (Rev. 13:15).
This person so widely known as the Antichrist, is to be preceded by a false
prophet, who has "two horns like a lamb, but a voice like a dragon” (Rev.
13:11).
This tells us that the person,
whoever he is, will
appear Christian,
“like a lamb,” but in reality, will speak by the Devil, “like a dragon”.
If indeed the Mayan, and Aztec, and Cherokee, and Kabbalah, and New Age, etc.,
etc. traditions hold true, and we are entering a post-Christian era, to be led
by a Maitreya, or Mahdi, and the prophecy of St. Malachy continues to hold
true, and Peter the Roman is elected, then you do not have to expect that the
world will end.
If, in fact, Biblical prophecies hold true, the one-world leader
will be successful in all that he undertakes,
and in fact, will have a sort of miraculous healing, so that the world will be
in awe and worship this man, and the being that gives him his power (Rev.
13:3).
After the chaos from the change
of governments and the new laws prevail, there will be a time of peace, and
even prosperity, especially for those who serve the global leader/king (Dan.
11:39).
So, after all that, the answer to the original question
, “Will the world end on Dec. 21st?” The answer is
“No, it will not.” I do
believe that there are too many religions pointing to the end of 2012; the
timing of the popes’ change; the war in Israel - with the state of the nations
growing increasingly against Israel, and siding with a religion intent on
wiping out this race; too much being fulfilled in Masonic prophecy; the rise of
persecution against Christians in a land once known for her Christianity; and
the rapidity of the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.
Jesus taught that “This generation [that sees
Israel regathered] will not pass away till all these things take place” (Matt.
24:34).
The LORD said, “In its time, I
will do this swiftly” (Is. 60:22).
If you are
scared of what’s coming upon the world, and you don’t want to be here to
experience the judgements of God, or be consigned to eternal hell, simply ask
God to forgive you of your rebellion against Him and His ways. Thank Him for sending Jesus to come and die
and take your sins on the cross, and ask Jesus to be the Savior and Lord of
your life. Now, read God’s word and live
for Him. It’s that easy (Rom. 10:9-10, 13). If you know Jesus as your Savior and Lord, you have nothing to be afraid of, because all of this is in His plan.
