Does the bible say the world will end in dec 2012?
no it does not. the Mayan calendar ends in December and many believe the Mayans well all knowing and whatever they say was true. many people don't realize that the Mayans had to stop sometime. The bible states that Christ will return when no one expects it, and if everyone expects the world to end on Dec. 21, god will obviously not return then, thus the world will not end in Dec. do not fear this. good luck and god bless.

Why is the birth of Jesus Christ always a set date Dec 25 yet the death of Christ changes?
Easter is set according to phases of the moon and not by date, this is why it varies. ANSWER Historians are not as certain about the birth of Christ in relation to the Hebrew calendar. Easter is more certain and then can be transfered to the standard calendar used by the modern Western world. Christmas, in addtion to the birth of Christ, is a huge boon for retailers. For convenience reasons, it is a set and well established date. In reality, Christ's birth would vary like Easter because his birth was marked on the Hebrew calendar. The calendars do not transfer exactly. Easter is a good example.
