Doomsday 2012 Prophecies
Consensus is that the world will come to an end through a cataclysmic event, a doomsday. Many beliefs and religions exist that correspond to the same outcome of events, prophesying the end of the world. If one believes the world is created through random events that occurred and will continue to occur, then their mindset should be challenged by the many reports, documents and oracles of end times approaching and how it will take place.
The number of prophesies that agree to the 2012 doomsday date is astounding.
Some of the sources predicting what will happen at the end of time are the Bible, the Sybil, the Mayans, Merlin, Yì Jīng, Mother Shipton and the most recent high tech WWW web-bot. Only the Bible does not include an exact date, but the signs to watch for. The balance of the psychics, referred to as oracles, concurs on an end date in 2012 AD.
Through the bible we are told no man has the power to know when the end day will be, but to watch for signs and be ready. This has not deterred many who attempt to determine the exact date. Many predictions have been accurate which gains credibility to the source.
The ancient Romans believed in an oracle named The Sybil. They believed she was a priestess that would be possessed by the god Apollo who would tell her prophesies while she was in a trance. She would then write them on leaves.
Some of her predictions included the 10th generation would be turmoil and destruction, ending the world as we know it. It is said that the Sybil predicted the coming of Christ in 20BC, climate changes and tsunamis. Events that seem to fulfill her prophesy.
Since that time, it has been discovered that gas in Delphi Greece, may have inspired her trances, and that she chewed on psychotropic leaves which may have also created her altered state. As well a fault line was found that emits ethylene gas, which creates hallucinations. Ambiguity may have led to successful fulfillment of her prophesies.
The South American Mayans of the 6th to 9th century AD were obsessed with calendar keeping. They accurately predicted solar eclipses thousands of years in the future, as well as specific events such as when the white man would arrive, their destruction and world transformation taking place.
The Mayans also noted the black hole in the centre of our galaxy, and the winter solstice alignment of the solar system in December 2012 predicting a cataclysmic event; a gravitational pole shift that will cause world wide disaster, planet catastrophe, destruction and extinction.
A European oracle, who predicted terrorist attacks, was called Merlin. Legends of Merlin stem from England, dating from the 5th century. He was looked at as part demon. It is believed that Merlin the Wild was a title, rather than a name, and there are a few men who can be attributed to the title.
Merlin predicted events such as the 1st American colony on virgin soil, horrors of the Nazi holocaust, 21st century cell phones, disasters in Great Britain such as power stations melting down causing 20 000 to die. As well, Merlin predicted The River Thames turning to blood, global warming and apocalypse. Astrological planets run riot out of alignment, movement of earth’s rotation implying polar shift
Yì Jīng, or I Ching, is the Chinese book of changes which prophesies the end of the world in 2012. It is approximately 5000 years old, originating around 200BC and is used for fortune telling. Its vague statements provide something for everyone. Ask a question and it can provide a relevant answer.
In the past decades the I Ching has become an oracle of doom via Terence McKenna. In the 1970s, McKenna mapped the I Ching’s 64 hexagrams and found they correlate to the interconnectedness of the universe, corresponding to major shifts in humanity, and through his graphical interpretation, predicted an end time date in 2012.
Another oracle originates from England, called Mother Shipton, who was born in the late 1400’s. She foretold the death of Henry 8th, named Queen Victoria, predicted WW1 & WW2. Although original texts are not found, people wrote books on her oral predictions of global progress followed by doomsday and attributed them to Mother Shipton.
The Hopi Indian tribe located in the USA during the late 1940s prepared for world destruction. They believed the world had already gone through four transitions and was about to transition to the 5th world. This event would be a doomsday, with earth quakes, the sea rising, the sun turning hotter, melting glaciers that create rising water. In the end of days the world will crisscross by webs. Does this allude to the World Wide Web?
The Webbot project that began in the 1990’s was created to scan the World Wide Web for hints to predict stock futures. It reports back ambiguous particulars, analysing and attempting to read the unconscious mood of the world through website spiders.
The Webbot combs the internet looking for key words of interest, and aggregates the reads. The predictions became ominous. In 2001 an analyst realised predictions of the terrorist’s attacks of 9-11. There have been a series of accurate predictions such as tsunamis, anthrax attacks, and hurricane Katrina. Now they say it is predicting serious events in 2012.
The most famous predictions of doomsday are in the Bible. Apocalypse is prophesised in Revelations. John the apostle documents the fight of good verses evil and foresees global warfare centred in the Middle East and the rise of the anti-Christ.
Although it is unanimous through these sources that destruction and desolation is imminent, there is one hope. The most positive end time event is revealed in the Christian bible. Through rapture, the saved, being those who believe in Christ as the Saviour, will be spared the fire and brimstone and brought to heaven prior to the destruction of this world as we know it.
Ancient oracles prophesies correlate to something dire occurring in today’s time. The end time and coming apocalypse has always been predicted as imminent. Various predictions of the destruction phenomenon mesh with a global cataclysm in 2012. Is it random noise or real prophesy?
