End Of The World 2012

Thereis a verse in the Bible that says, "The heart is deceiptful above allthings and desparetly corrupt, who can understand it" (Jeremiah 17:9).  The implied but unspoken answer is, "No one".  You could add, "Not even myself". 

Can you understand the reasons for everything you do and say and think?  I know I can't.  But I do know that I sometimes consciously make excuses for the things I do, say and even think.  I have this conflict: on the one hand, I have just excused myself for something wrong (trying to convince myself that it wasn't that bad, really). 

On the other hand, my own conscience condemns me.  Anyone know I'm talking about here?  Of course you do!  Well, if there are times when we know we are deceiving ourselves, what about those times when we do not know we are deceiving ourselves.  After all, isn't that the nature of deception.  When it's happening, you don't know because, well, you're being deceived. 

Every deception has to do with the corruption of truth, even in just a small way.  So every deception is actually a lie!  It has to be if it's not true.  How many times a day do you think you lie to yourself (we haven't  even begun to consider lying to others).  5,10, 20, 50. 

OK, what about lies to others?  Be honest (if you can).  We lie when we try to make ourselves look better than we are; or when we exaggerate to make a story more exciting; or  say we would never do a certain thing when we know we would or have; or we agree with the popular person just to win their favour when we don't actually agree at all; or we lie to cover up something.   The list goes on.....

All the time you are reading this, there is a battle going on.  Do I admit this is true or do I tell another lie and try to deceive myself that it is not.  Self-deception runs deep.  

If you're honest (that's telling the truth) how many times do you think you lie, fib, exaggerate, decieve, withhold the truth, bend the truth, tell a white lie, make out something is true but is not, in just one day?  We're just talking about 1 day here.  Let's not get too carried away, yet. 

I'm going to be really generous here, despite the damning evidence, and suggest that  perhaps you may only tell 5 lies a day.  That's either in your thoughts, words or both.  Just 5! 

Now consider this.  5 times 365 days in a year = 1,825 lies! 

That should concern you.

Take those 1,825 lies now and multiply them by 60 years and that's 109,500 lies!!!!!

 It's true, God will not sent you to hell just because you just told one lie.

Would you like me to list all the other unholy things we think, say and do and multiply that by 109,500?  

Addto this the fact that we are sinful and God is Holy and what we call good is often an unclean thing to God.  As sinners it is hard for us tofully comprehend how filthy our lives are in the eyes of God who alone is Holy (Perfect, Pure).  It would not be unreasonable to suggest thatin an average life time we actually commit well over 1 billion sins. Well over that. 

If you were to name all 1 billion of your sins by naming one every second, how long do you think it would take you to count them all up.

The answer is 31 years, 251 days, 7 hours, 46 minutes, and 39 seconds.

Do you now see why you need God's  forgiveness and why the only way youwill get to heaven is to throw yourself at the mercy of God. 

Does that help you see how merciful and generous God actually is that he has provided a way for you to escape the just penalty of eternal hell forall your sin?

The Bible says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, theirpart `shall be' in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; whichis the second death." 

Your lies are not the only things that will send you to hell.

This site went live around November 2008.  There was a time when I was excited becasue it had 50 visits in a day.  Then one day visits shot up to over 90!  I ran and got my wife to show her this remarkable news.   Who would have thought (not me at the time) that just on a year later on November 13, 2009, that we would have exceeded 100,000 visits in just 30 days!!!!

This amazing result was from the 2012 movie project we launched inviting all members to pass the website onto as many people as they knew and to leave comments and links about it as they surfed the net on other websites.  You guys are amazing.  Thank You. 

Now that the movie has arrived, some of the interest has dropped off but we are still getting heaps of visits and what is more important, people are staying longer and looking at more pages.   There are new pages planned and we will notify members when they arrive. 

One of the things we would like to see happen a bit more is for people to use the 2012 Forum.  This is an opportunity to have your say, even if you don't agree with something that you read on the site.  As long as you're respectful your forum post will be welcome.   

Well, after the site being live for just on a year, I've finally done my first blog.  This is actually a response to a question from the Polish magazine "Magia Gwiazd" who asked me to share my personal thoughts on what I thought had the greatest posibility of happening in 2012 and in particular the idea of a pole shift.  I have no idea whether they will print all this or just extract a few quotes.   

It was interesting getting a request to comment on a pole shift from a Polish magazine.

I am thankful to Chris White who's article on NIBIRU has helped me chrystalise my thinking on this matter.  Thanks Chris

Will the world end on December 21, 2012?  Personally I think that the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was right.  He is quoted as saying, “man willbelieve anything as long as it is not written in the Bible.”   Thiscan be applied to all the recent theories that the world will end in2012.  People will believe anything.  This is often because of one totwo reasons (1) they give far too much importance to the history channel andother pop media and (2) they give far too little time to actually thinkingabout what is being said.

Anexample is with the belief that there will be a pole shift in 2012.  Forstarters, there is no agreement on whether this would be a magnetic pole shift,or a physical shifting of the crust of the earth that would swap the poles around. So that casts a lot of doubt on it happening in the first place. Secondly, it is important to realize that neither of these things could happen without a cause.  You cannot have an effect without a cause.  So we need to ask, what possible causes are being given for a possible pole shift?  These are often given as being one (or more perhaps) of the following: planetary alignment, Planet X or Nibiru, a tremendous sun flare or an asteroid.

Let’s start with the asteroid.  The biggest threat NASA have identified is anasteroid named Apophis.  However it is currently on a Level 0 on theTorino Scale.  It will pass close in 2029 with a probability for impact onApril 13, 2036 calculated at 1 in 45,000.

What about a sun flare?  It is a known fact that the sun has an 11 cycle andthat towards the end of this we can expect to see increased solar activity.  However, those who study this phenomena say that regardless of the type of flare (and apparently there is more than one kind) nothing will bepowerful enough to overcome our magnetosphere, ionosphere and thick atmosphere.

Willplanetary alignment cause a pole shift?  We will never know for sure because there is not going to be a planetary alignment on December 21,2012!  The movements and positions of the planets in relation to eachother are clearly observable not just by NASA but other scientificbodies.  No reputable body who regularly observes these has announced that we should expect an alignment of the planets in our solar system.  There will however be an alignment of the sun with the earth and the centre of the milkyway galaxy BUT, this is not a physical alignment – it is only anillusion. 

Because the earth tilts on its axis there are certain times in its cycle that there appears to be an alignment but this is only from the earth’s perspective.   The alignment is an illusion.  One of the people putting forth the 2012 scenario says on one of his websites, “In the interest of clarity, I will mention that it would be more accurate to say that the alignment occurs in the ERA of A.D. 2012; because precession is such a slow phenomenon, fifty years on either side of 2012 might be appropriate.”  byJohn Major Jenkins

Thisleave us with Planet X – Nibiru.  You don’t need to get very technical toprove that planet X is NOT going to be visiting us any time soon, especially December 21, 2012.  This planet is believed to have an orbit thatintersects with our solar system every 3,600 years.  However if it is going to keep this appointment in the next 10 years, it would have to be less than a billion kilometers away right now.  That's very interesting because Pluto is about 5 billion kilometers away and yet we can see it.  And by all accounts, Planet X – Nibiru, is many times larger than Pluto.  So how is it that we can see a planet smaller than Planet X and further out than Planet X (would have to be right now), but we cannot see Planet X !   

To rephrase that, if we can see the much smaller Pluto at 5 billion km, why can we not see the much larger Planet X which would have to be around 1 billion km away? 

Furthermore, if we cannot see it with the likes of the Hubble telescope then how could the ancient Sumerians have seen it?  This is an important question to ask since the recent talk about Nibiru can be traced back to Zechariah Sitchen’s translation of certain ancient Sumerian texts.  Also worth noting is that he mistranslates the symbols on these writings. This is spoken of in detail on the page: NIBIRU on this site in an article by Chris White. 

In conclusion, I think planet X should be renamed planet Z.  “Z” for Zero chance of ever turning up in the backyard of our solar system.

Having said all this, there is one thing we can be sure of: the world still will come to an end one day.  This is clearly predicted in the Bible.

As an example of the Bible’s reliability, it contains around 300 prophecies about Jesus Christ, all of which were fulfilled – in detail.   The probability that Jesus of Nazareth could have fulfilled even eight such prophecies would be only 1 in 10(to the power of 17).

That's1 in 100, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000.  And that’s only for 8 of the 300 prophecies that were fulfilled.

When it comes to end of the world events, the Bible is a reliable source of information.  For more information, see 2012 Bible Prophecy

However, we are still left  with one problem as stated by Napoleon, “Man will believe anything unless it is  written in the Bible”.  This will result in the eternal damnation of many.   Not a good note to end on but it’s all there in the Bible. 

We have been warned.  But it is a warning with hope.  Repentance and faith in Jesus who died for sin and rose again, will save one from the day of judgement.  A day that will happen after God pours out his wrath on the earth in proportions at least as bad as the 2012 scenario - generally speaking

On this final day of judgement all the dead will be raised and great and small will come before the throne of God whereupon he will pronounce their final destiny. 

Interestingly enough, this is spoken of in Revelation 20:12 ! 

Revelation means Apocalypse
