It was the best of times. It was the end of times

  As we pass the eight month in the year 2012, I feel the need to talk about the many way humanity is worried about being obliterated from the face of our planet. From evangelical radio host to the Mayan and Egyptian calendars to the revelations of John in the New Testament, 2012 and twelve is a worry some year for any one fearing divine retribution.

When ever the is a congruence of events on more then one religious fronts it causes people to worry, even more so when those are doomsday prophecy’s for millennia ago.

  So as the year draws to a close what are the chances the humanity is at its end and some wrathful creator is going to call a game over on those made in his own image or some uncaring universe is going to unleash a natural disaster as of yet unseen by man?   

The answer is at least from my view point is: actually very slim.

To spite the general masses spouting apocalypse now ever few years there really isn’t an historical evidence to say that this year is any more prolific or destine for cosmic event then any other.

The Egyptian calendar has no death of humanity warning it simply ends and a lot of scholars say the reason for this is simply that they ran out of space while labeling out astrological event on sand stone tombs.

The Mayan’s? surely their calendar was more of a warning. Actually again no. there are a few things to consider with the Mayans. The first is that like the Egyptians they were attempting to predict the extended future through astrologic prediction. They appear to claim that the nature of the world will change in the year 2012 in the twelfth month but not that it will end. And again I would seriously hesitate to accept the predictions of a culture that didn’t even foresee their own end as the entire culture vanished from the face of the planet and though they left a nifty calendar to scare future generation the didn’t bother to leave a note saying where they went.

  And the last is Bible now I could go over the entire book section by section and at some future point I just might, but right now I will only point out a few things.

 Now I will refrain a little from my normal roast of the bible and all its content, but I will say this the revelations of john are a dream he had and though he was and apostle of Christ there is nothing else to lend credence to his dream of the end. It was not passed to him by the voice of god or told to him by angels out side of his dreaming head. Also you have to know that over the centuries the bible has been used to warn of the end of times an uncountable number of times and the radio host I mentioned at the beginning of this article has actually predicted then end four times and then claimed he was mistaken and had to go back to the drawing board.

So I will simply leave it with this excerpt from the bible

Matthew: 24:36 "However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.”

If not even the baby Jesus knows I would even try to compete.
