2012 Predictions

The Mayans had a greater understanding of time and the fluidity of it, but the end of one cycle is merely the beginning of another cycle. The Mayan people understood that time is not just a linear concept, but rather that time is circular. Thus, for them all that had happened would happen and all that was to come, had already happened. This is a concept that modern society has trouble embracing. However, the Mayans left the biggest piece of information in the very shape of their calendars. It was there understanding of time, that allowed them to foresee events.

At the end, of this cycle in the calendar another cycle will once more begin. Most would rather believe that this is the end of humanity rather than a new beginning. Modern religions have taught people that there is an end and there will be salvation for the righteous at the end. Though, not actually listed in the gospels people have a belief in a Rapture. A day when the Lord will come and take all of his chosen people to heaven. Now the Bible does speak of the chosen from the tribes of Israel. However, is says that only 144,000 will be taken to live with the Lord. For that is the number of the chosen ones.

The are roughly six and a half billion people on the planet and if people are to believe the gospel it suggest that only a small fraction of the population is worthy of the Lord. With those odds, most people would be left to a less desirable fate. Of course, this all comes from the book of Revelations, which is the one book that doesn’t actually fit in with the rest of the biblical texts. The reason for this is because, the entire book is about the dream that John had. The only reason that is was put into the bible was because of the message of return of Jesus and the signs that would be seen.

Anything can be sign it is only how a person interprets something that gives it meaning. It goes back to the simple argument that reality is only a matter of perspective. Thus, people see things differently and how those events are seen is what gives them meaning. However, a person cannot perceive anything that is beyond their understand, that is to say that without a point of reference people cannot believe anything to be reality.
