 * Christian views on 2012 **

Most of the evidence given for the 2012 apocalypse deals with religion which causes it to prove a different motive to finding the truth about how the world will end. Nonetheless, the Christian religion has provided some very strong predictions and as you will see, these ideas have come true in certain circumstances. Apocalypse is, “total destruction- the destruction of devastation of something, or an instance of this.” Apocalypse may also mean “revelation of future – a revelation made concerning the future.” These two definitions provide two possible theories for what can be concluded about the 2012 apocalypse. The first definition is more along the lines of a 2012 Armageddon, or the world ending abruptly.The latter is more noticeably about Religion and the secret teachings or scriptures of the end of the world and the actual topic of Apocalypse 2012. If the 2012 apocalypse is to mean anything it would have had to been gathered from a source that has either mentioned it or followed along the lines of an apocalyptic process. One such source is the Bible. Some people are sceptical of the Bible but it has been a major source of information in the study of ancient history. For example... As you can see, this theory is closely related to Noah’s story in the Bible. Due to this proof, in addition to others, the Bible shouldn't be discarded and should be used as a reliable source of information. In the Bible, apocalypse refers to the revelation of God’s Will and this leads to a description in the Book of Revelation of an apocalyptic process. This clarifies my statement that apocalypse had been gathered from a source, the source being the Book of Revelation. I tried to follow up on the Book of Revelation to see if I could find any more evidence about the exact year 2012, but I failed in finding anything. The year 2012 was never mentioned in the Book of Revelation, in fact the Bible says that the end will come “like a thief in the night” (1Th 5:2), but a comet/meteor is mentioned. The meteor and comet has been mentioned in the book of Revelation as such: After exploring further on this topic and i was able to find a some more information about the possibilities of a 2012 comet or meteor. The information gathered from this is relevant but a bit too general because **no date is implied** and therefor is left somewhat vague and open for interpretation of a disaster occurring in 2012. I came across “the Beast” in the book of Revelation, and it’s symbol 666 in the New and Old testament. The beast is the end time ruler; also known as the Antichrist. Although the scriptures mentioned a prince by the name of Tyre, who is described to be the Antichrist, if you venture further on this topic some coincidental stories talk about the prediction of the end ruler being a current Antichrist. The Antichrist comes up in more detail in the section of Nostradamus when he predicts it also. Many directions can be followed through the writings of the religious apocalypse and when doing so it can become confusing. This is because of the chapters, being used to glorify the Christian religion, allow Christians to believe that the faith of Christianity will last through this devastating period while the rest of the world will perish. The “masking” of the likely outcome of what is to occur makes it confusing on what will actually happen to everyone on earth. But the 2012 apocalypse can potentially cause what the Book of Revelation mentions, a meteor or comet causing major destruction and disaster. With that all being said, whether you like it or not the 2012 apocalypse or even the ending of the world can't be avoided... the question of when it occurs is worth answering now though.
 * Apocolypse:**
 * The theory that massive canyons where formed through erosion of rivers over millions of years held strong for a long period of time, which supports the Doctrine of Uniformitism.
 * The Doctrine of Catastrophism is now used along side the Doctrine of Uniformitism for a theory has proven that massive floods of glacier water is what formed the canyons.
 * A global shower of flaming Meteors (ranging in size from a golf ball to a house) sets one-third of the green grass, vegetation and crops of earth on fire. (Rev 8:8-9).
 * An Asteroid (large chunk of comet, one mile in diameter) will crash into the sea and cause a massive Tidal Wave, torrential flooding and more famine (Rev 8:10-11).

It is interesting that this prediction of the emergence of a new world is prophesied to appear about the same time that the Mayans predicted it to come! The Mayan Calender began with the Fifth Great Cycle in 3114 BC and will end on 21 December 2012 AD. The Hindu Kali Yuga calendar began on the 18th of February 3102 B.C. There is only a difference of 12 years between the Hindu's beginning of the Kali Yuga and the Mayan's beginning of the Fifth Great Cycle. The ancient Hindus mainly used lunar calendars but also used solar calendars. If an average lunar year equals 354.36 days, then this would be about 5270 lunar years from the time when the Kali Yuga started until 21 Dec 2012. This is the same year that the Mayans predict rebirth of our planet. It is also about 5113 solar years of 365.24 days per year, and is day number 1,867,817 into the Kali Yuga. By either solar or lunar years, we are over 5,000 years into the Kali Yuga and it is time for Lord Krishna's prophecy to happen according to the ancient Hindu scriptures. Lord Krishna's Golden Age could easily begin in 2012! It is amazing that both calendars began at about the same time over 5,000 years ago and both calendars predict a totally new world and/or golden age after about 5,000 years into their calendars! We are definitely on to something with these Mayan and Hindu 2012 predictions. Historically, this is an amazing fact since these two ancient cultures did not have any contact.

"The City of Babylon is very important to Muslim Arabs because it reminds them of a time when the world was ruled from the most famous city in the world in an Arab country. It would only be natural for them to establish the already existing City of Babylon as their military, political, economic, and religious capital of the world which will fulfill the prophesies in the Book of Revelation concerning Babylon. Next, following the Rapture and at the very beginning of the Tribulation, the Muslims will realize that most of the Christians and the Messianic Jews have disappeared. After signing a 7 year treaty with Israel to keep her out of the fight, Islam will make a unified and concerted global (Rev 6:2) effort which will result in them killing off almost everyone who is not a Muslim and will not convert to Islam and begin a global effort to exterminate the remaining Christians and Jews outside of Israel(Rev 7:9). In their western campaign, they will conquer everything from the Euphrates River west to the Pacific Ocean excluding Israel. The Bible says this war(Rev 6:2), the resulting famine(Rev 6:5), and the resulting epidemics (Rev 6:7) will kill one fourth of the people in the world(Rev 6:8). If you assume that there will be six billion people in the world following the Rapture, this means that the war and its after math will kill off 1.5 billion people globally. This will only leave 4.5 billion people. Each Muslim soldier would only need to kill a little more than one person to achieve this. Islam will bring to the world what it brought to Afghanistan. The Bible also states that a meteor will kill all of the life from one third of the earth's surface (Rev 8:10) shortly after this war begins and before the Muslims begin their eastern military campaign. For the remaining prophesies to occur, this would have to be North, Central, and South America. This would limit the Islamic empire to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, an area slightly larger than the old Roman Empire. The Muslims will be the clay mingled with the iron in the toes of the figure for Nebuchadnezzar's vision in the second chapter of the Book of Daniel. This death toll would constitute slightly less than one billion people and bring the standing global population to about 3.5 to 4 billion people if this happened today. Shortly after this military action begins, Islam will move militarily from the Euphrates, with a 200 million man army, to wipe out the people in Asian countries from the Pacific Ocean west to the Euphrates River and will kill one third of the remaining global population (Rev 9:13)which will be a little over one billion people. This will leave almost two to three billion people in the world, a little more than two billion Muslims and converts and a few million people in Israel. Islam has used its great oil wealth to purchase the controlling interest in many of the largest businesses in Europe, the US, and the rest of the world including much of the media. They already have the largest and fastest growing religion in the world. This global Islamic war will give Islam control over the world government and its 200 million man military stationed east of the Euphrates, it will be the world religion, and it will control the global economy. The Bible says they will and that, shortly before the middle of the Tribulation, God will destroy the City of Babylon (Rev 18). Then the Bible says that a man (Rev 13) will gain power of the global government with the aid of his Muslim prophet, break his treaty with Israel half way through the treaty, capture Jerusalem and establish it as his global capital, establish the Temple on the Temple Mount as the center for the world religion, declare himself to be Jesus or the Messiah, and begin waging war on the remnant of the Jews and Christians along with the two witnesses (Rev 11:3)of the Bible. It is at this point that the Bible and Koran agree and this man will be the Jesus of Islam. After this point, the Bible takes a different course from Islam and says that the remnant of God's people will flee into the wilderness where the Jesus of Islam will wage war against them for the last half of the Tribulation. According to the Bible, some time during this period, the Jesus of Islam will capture God's two witnesses (Rev 11:7), put them to death on the streets of Jerusalem, they will be raised from the dead 3.5 days later, a great earth quake will kill 7,000 Jewish males in Jerusalem an hour later, the remaining Jews will realize that Jesus is the Messiah, revolt, and chase the Jesus of Islam out of Israel. Of course this will infuriate the Jesus of Islam and all of Islam. The Bible says the Jesus of Islam will gather his armies from around the world into the valley of Megiddo (Rev 14:14)to wage a final war against Israel. They will line up from west to east in the valley with the intentions of marching through Israel and murdering every one they can find to make sure they don't miss any one. At this point, the Bible says the Jesus of the Bible will return (Rev 19), capture the Jesus of Islam and his Muslim prophet, cast them into the Lake of Fire, destroy 100% of the Muslim army, and set up His kingdom where He will rule the world peacefully from Jerusalem for 1,000 years. After everything I have learned from reading the Bible, the Koran, and studying Islam, I believe that Islam is the one world church, they will rule the world as they have been trying to do for 1,300 years, and the Jesus of Islam will rule from Jerusalem and wage war against the remnant of God's people."
