the Mayan Indians believed the end of the world is in 2012 just because the creator of the Mayan Calendar died right when he left off at 2012. well, that's what I've heard.
Why would you need to prepare for the end of the world? Mark's Gospel said that Jesus prophesied the end of the world during the lifetimes of those then living, but this clearly did not happen. If the gospel was wrong in its prediction, you can assume that people's interpretation of the Mayan calendar will be too. Watch the movie, have fun talking about the end-of-world scenario, but then wait for 23rd December in 2012 and see that this was yet another prophecy that failed.
There have been many prophecies of the end of the world. Mark's Gospel attributes to Jesus a statement that the world would end before all those then still alive had died. This did not eventuate, but there were many similar prophecies during the time of the early Church, particularly as the end of the first millennium approached.In more recent times, Jehovah's Witnesses have often prophesied the end of the world, but each time the world has continued as before. Watch Tower literature persistently claims that the Armageddon will come within the generation of those who were alive in 1914, when Christ returned invisibly to establish Jehovah's Kingdom. As the years go by and fewer of that generation remain, this prophecy must join the list of prior failed prophecies.The world will undoubtedly end, but not for a few billion years yet.

The world may end in many ways. A massive pandemic, alien invasion, nuclear war, impact with any other body of matter (meteor, planet, etc.), explosion of a star, etc. there are really endless possibilities. It will end the way it was prophesied in The Book of Revelations. There aren't really any other possibilities.
It is through Oedipus' death at the prophesied location and in the prophesied way that the main conflict is resolved at the end of "Oedipus at Colonus" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus comes to a grove that is sacred to the Furies of fate in an area near Colonus. He recognizes it as the prophesied place of his death. King Creon struggles to have Oedipus' death and burial take place near Thebes. It turns out that wherever Oedipus dies is prophesied to bring luck to the surrounding area and peoples. The death works out in the prophesied place and manner when Athenian King Theseus prevails as Oedipus' sole escort to a secret place of death that brings luck to Athens.
This depends on if you believe that he can in judgment of Israel in 70 AD. I am leaning toward being a preterist so I believe the end that Jesus prophesied about in Mathew 24 and Luke 21 was about the end of the world as it was known which was the world of the old covenant and the destruction of Israel as a country not as a people that were dispersed over the earth. Please keep in mind I do not believe the words Earth and World or interchangeable.
John wrote the revelation of the last times but Jesus also spoke about it in the chapter 24 wich Mateo wrote.
No. There is no instance where the Bible unambiguously prophesied any future histirical event.
