Will the world end in the year 2012?

2012 is sometimes claimed to be a great year of spiritual transformation (or apocalypse). Many esoteric sources interpret the completion of the thirteenth B'ak'tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar (which occurs on December 21 by the most widely held correlation) to mean there will be a major change in world order.



Accordingly, several eclectic authors claim that a major, world-changing event will take place in 2012:



* The 1995 book The Mayan Prophecies linked the Maya calendar with long-period sunspot cycles.

* The book 2012: Mayan Year of Destiny claims the Maya may have been instructed in their wisdom by discarnate entities from Orion and the Pleiades. Contact was maintained through shamanic rituals conducted in accordance with the movements of planets and stars. However, some Mayan priests living and working in Guatemala assert that there is no legitimacy to this theory.

* The 1997 book The Bible Code claims that, according to certain algorithms of the Bible code, a meteor, asteroid or comet will collide with the Earth.

* The book The Nostradamus Code speaks of a series of natural disasters caused by a comet (possibly as above) that will allow the third Antichrist to disperse his troops around the globe under the guise of aid in preparation for a possible nuclear war, although in the strictest sense it is unspecific as to nuclear war or some other natural or man caused destruction.

* The book The Orion Prophecy claims that the Earth's magnetic field will reverse.

* The 2005 book Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Ecstasy by Geoff Stray reviews several theories, prophecies and predictions concerning 2012 and finds where authors have used faulty information or have bent the truth to fit their theories.

* The 2006 book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl by Daniel Pinchbeck discusses theories of a possible global awakening to psychic connection by the year 2012, creating a noosphere.

* The 2007 book Apocalypse 2012: A Scientific Investigation into Civilization's End by Lawrence Joseph does not make any specific new predictions, but it reviews a number of 2012 predictions made by various sources, and presents arguments for the possible existence of dangerous positive feedback loops involving solar storms, Earth's magnetic field, cosmic rays, hurricanes, global warming, earthquakes, and supervolcanoes that may be on the verge of erupting.



Other prophecies and apocalyptic writings and hypotheses for this year include:



* Terence McKenna's mathematical novelty theory suggests a point of singularity in which humankind will go through a great shift in consciousness.

* Some proponents of a peak oil catastrophe place major events in 2012. Richard C. Duncan's book The Peak of World Oil Production and the Road To The Olduvai Gorge claims that the Olduvai cliff will begin and permanent blackouts will occur worldwide. Several studies predict a peak in oil production in or around 2012. [13][14][15]

* Some alien-enthusiasts (e.g. Riley Martin), along with some new-agers, believe 2012 to correspond approximately with the return of alien %26quot;watchers%26quot; or %26quot;caretakers%26quot; who might have helped the first human civilizations with developing their technology and may have been waiting for us to reach a higher level of technological and/or social advancement. Beliefs range from the extra-terrestrials having benevolent purposes 鈥?such as to help human society evolve 鈥?to malevolent purposes 鈥?such as enslavement of mankind and/or manipulation.

* There is a Hindu following indicating the appearance of an Avatar (God in human form) with God-like powers who will herald a new age. A website to this effect appears at: End of the World 2012

hope this question was copy and pasted cause it a huge question to answer no too
I thought it was December 23 2012, but no one will know for sure until then. But I might add that if you are a God fearing person you better make sure things are right between you and him. Have a great day and live in the moment not the future.
I read your basic question and the answer is....NO.



That's too much boring stuff to read at 10:32 in the morning.
No the world will not end in 2012

The Harmonic convergence in 1987 began a passage into the next dimension. The last weekend June 1992, moved us into the next dimension, and the passage was complete at that time. We were accelerated into a new mind set. People have to cope with an over load to our senses, to learn to dwell in a new dimension. It is now the time to be calm, and begin life in new understanding.



The reason the Mayan calender ends in 2012 the stone cutter calendar maker died and he didn't have an apprentice
No. It will wait until I have all my bills paid off and will be free of debt . Then - poof.
I'll make sure that I send everyone good bye text messages. LOL
