Do We Know the Date of the End of the World?

Do we really know for certain the date of the end of the world? We can read and study prophecy, and we can add our own interpretation to all that we learn. We can read the writing on the wall... if we choose to pull our heads out of the sand. There are prophecies of the possible end of the world made from different sources, by different people, at different times of history, and from different cultures and civilizations. Are these various prophecies now beginning to converge and point to a certain date for the end of the world or to a time of enormous change?

I urge you to see with your eyes and hear with your ears, and heed the warnings of what others of long-ago say about what may very soon transpire. Instead of the world ending with cataclysm, perhaps our earth will experience a great change. We can look at the signs and trends of what is happening in the world today and make educated guesses, and we can look at what past civilizations and seers have said and prophesied about the date of the end of the world.

The Bible - Book of Revelations

In the Book of Revelations, the Bible tells us of terrible droughts, disease,and plagues occurring in the end times. If you look at our world of today you will see that AIDS, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, Mad Cow disease, diabetes, heart disease, starvation, and a full list of cancers, are prevalent or epidemic. Earthquakes, droughts, tsunamis, tornadoes, hurricanes, oil spills, floods, and volcanoes are usually in our news, but now more of these dire things are happening with more rapidity than in any other time. All of this is occurring daily right before our eyes.

Merlin

The historical Merlin was one of Europe's greatest oracles. Merlin has been described in ancient texts as being a Celtic shaman, a kind of half-man and half-demon. Merlin's prophecies were published in 1135 and one of the things he predicted was that "A colony shall be founded by virgins in virgin soil." Does this Merlin prophecy point to the first American colony being established on land that became the state of Virginia? Merlin's words can certainly be interpreted to indicate this.

Merlin foresaw a British victory over Napoleon at Waterloo, and the horrors and evil of the holocaust. These events came true. Merlin said that a man on the shore of England will speak instantly to a man on the shore of France using a "speaking stone." That Merlin prediction sounds a lot like our common cell phones of today, doesn't it?

More important for our concerns, Merlin also predicted global warming and saw the seas rising, terrorist attacks, and planetary catastrophe. Merlin saw what appears to be a nuclear meltdown disaster in Great Britain with 20,000 dead and the River Themes turning red with blood. Merlin also saw that the "planets will run out of their appointed paths, planets will run riot through the signs." This prediction sounds incredibly similar to what would occur on our planet if the North and South poles changed their locations and a polar shift takes place, which has been proved by science to have happened before.

What happens on December 21, 2012?

Maybe we do know the date of the end of the world. Prophecies of the past provide us with very interesting information to consider. Both the Mayan calendar and the Chinese I Ching (or Book of Changes) predict that great change will soon occur on planet earth. Amazingly, it's on this date that the Mayan calendar ends, and the I Ching says that the end of days is on December 21, 2012.

Are the predictions and signs about a date of the end of the world coming true, or are they merely coincidence? I recommend this resource website; http://december2012endofworld.info to learn more. It is packed full of amazing information, and will explain many things, answer many questions, and certainly get you thinking about, wondering about, and questioning our future.
