John 14:6

By now, I’m sure many (if not all) of you know something about the year 2012. According to the Mayan calendar, December 21, 2012 is reportedly the end of the current “cycle” or “age”.

Not the end of the world, per say, just the start of another period of time.

Sounds simple enough, huh?

Well in a perfect world, yes. But the problem is, this isn’t a perfect world. People of all stripes, faiths, and beliefs have something I like to call “imagination”. This imagination tends to run a bit wild sometimes.

The hysteria surrounding 2012 is a perfect example of this.

The truth is that something will indeed be happening in 2012. The Earth will pass across the “galactic equator”, moving into the “northern hemisphere” in relation to the galactic core. I’m not sure if that requires everyone to get a piercing or a tattoo, like sailors who have crossed the Earth’s equator or not.

Now, no one is really sure what that means. Will it cause massive earthquakes, floods, and general mayhem? Will cats and dogs turn on their masters? Will the Chicago Cubs win the World Series? Or will absolutely nothing happen?

No one knows.

But, of course, that hasn’t kept the hysteria away. Movies are being made, depicting vast destruction and apocalyptic mayhem. People are fixating on 2012. Even Christians, sad to say, and they have the Holy Bible. You know, that book that has already told you the end from the beginning.

Unfortunately, I’ve read some Christians speculating that Satan is behind the 2012 stuff, as if he might “know” something we don’t in regards to when the Father will tell the Son to go retrieve His Bride. Satan has no more of an idea when the Rapture will occur than you or I.

Only God knows the time.

We can know the season – which is certainly now. But no one knows the day nor the hour.

To believe Satan is “in the know” would mean that he has been in the known for hundreds of years to have influenced the Mayans to come up with the date of December 21, 2012.

Please remember three things regarding December 21, 2012:

1. The Mayans were a heathen culture. They had no access to the one True God and had no special knowledge of future events. To give their “doomsday” calculation some kind of divine influence means you are going all extra-biblical on us, and that’s a no-no.
2. Satan doesn’t know when the Rapture will occur. This fascination with the Mayan “doomsday” prediction is merely proof that his seeds have long ago taken root and people are searching everywhere but the Bible for truth.
3. And finally, if the Mayans knew the date for the end of the world, why didn’t or couldn’t they know when they were going to go the way of the Dodo? We are to believe they saw the future but couldn’t see their own demise? Me thinks we’re giving them a little too much credit here.

Now, that said, I believe we are very close to the Rapture. Events in the world and the lining up of Tribulation nations is making that abundantly clear.

Could God use the year 2012 to do something? Absolutely.

But do I believe that the Mayans have anything to do with it? No. I don’t know what will happen when we cross that magical galactic equator. Gravitational forces may play havoc with our magnetic fields and any number of other things.

Or nothing could happen.

Only God knows, and that’s pretty much the point of this article.

ONLY God knows.

God bless and keep you all.
