The main reason people are asking about 2012 in particular has to do with a piece of Mayan mythology which even the ancient Mayans seem to have had the good sense not to take too seriously:
December 21 - The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the Maya civilization among others of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, completes its thirteenth b'ak'tun, or minor numerical sub-cycle, since the calendar's mythical starting point (equivalent to August 11, 3114 BC in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, according to the "GMT correlation" JDN = 584283).
The Long Count B'ak'tun date of this starting point (13.0.0.0.0) is repeated for the first time in a span of approximately 5,125 solar years. The significance of this period-ending to the pre-Columbian Maya themselves is unclear, and there is an incomplete inscription (Tortuguero Monument 6) that records this date. It is also to be found carved on the walls of the Temple of Inscriptions in Palenque, where it functions as a base date from which other dates are computed. But the Maya certainly did not take it as representing the end of the current world, since an inscription by Pacal at Palenque looks forward to a royal anniversary on October 15, 4772.
Another event that will take place December 21st 2012 is something called the "Galactic Alignment", which is most likely the reason that the Mayan calendar ended at that time. The Galactic Alignment is the alignment between the Sun, the Earth, and the center of the Milky Way. Along with that, there is also the possibility of a pole shift, or the changing of north and south (i.e. the north pole becomes the south pole). See the related link.
The United Kingdom will host the Olympics. Other than that nothing is going to happen but a bunch of nut heads cowering in fear of a "myth planet" heading towards us.
Why everyone thinks that the world will end is because of the Mayan calender ends. It only ends because they're starting a new era. But all that it is is a new Maya era. So nothing is going to happen on December 21 2012
Know one knows whats going to happen in 2012. Only GOD knows whats gonna happen in 2012...Will life as we know it end,? you tell me. Well lets see what the bible says, I'm pretty sure it says he will come like a theft in the night. So I'm guessing that we won't know when the time is coming...thats why ppl need to be more aware about their existence and well bein and get right with GOD cause you never know it could be tomorrow...and for the non believers out there, I pray for you, I pray the god has mercy on you..how could you not believe in GOD, I mean look at yourself in the mirror. There is no way anyone or anything, but GOD could make something like you.. the way we think, look, hear, see, smell, feel, the power of the mind...Think about it how? how in the world could you even begin to make a brain? the way it thinks the way it works? its crazy...i know some ppl thats just not enough belief for them...me? its plenty....thank you and GOD BLESS
it was said that the world was going to end, but many people believe that Christ will come on that day. In the Bible, it was said that there was going to be a rapture, a flood, and a fire. only '' Jehovah's Witnesses were going to be taken, and only 144,00 were going to be taken. some people might live to tell the story.
It is not going to happen. They say that all the time just to make money, First they say it on TV. "THE WORLD IS GONNA END". so they get a million view's. Then they make a movie so they get like $10000000 probably even more then they make a book then it dose not happen so they do it all over again i am not sure who they is or who
Your normal, everyday life. I know what your thinking, "Is the world going to end in 2012?". There is your answer
EDIT:
Well.. since Dec. 12, 2012 Friday, the sun will come up, kids and teens will wake up for school in the morning, they'll get ready, go to school, come back home, start they're weekend, the sun will go down, we'll go to sleep, it'll be midnight, then it'll be Dec. 13, 2012. Simple as that
EDIT2: relook your words, its December 21, 2012....which is a sunday. do your research son!!
people okay guess what Jesus Christ doesnt even know when hes coming down if ur christian don't worry bout a thing. Only the lord knows. Poeple who made up this rumor is stupid there ain't no body as good as the lord?
true but where does the lord dwell? INSIDE EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US.
that said, what will happen in 2012 will go something like this:
Nibiru/Planet X will align between the earth and the sun causing massive solar storms & weather extremes.
(look this up on Nasa official website, type 2012 solar storms into search engine.)
Then the epitamy off all that is evil will once again try to take the world
The World Government will then activate a highly technological sattelite type gizmo which will turn the PLANET into a giant TV screen.
(research Project Blue Beam)
They will then proceed to feed the masses some complete BS about the earth being under attack from E.T's or the coming of the anti-christ or christ and try to offer the solace of camps where you can be taken and ''PROTECTED''.
DO NOT BOARD THE BUSES AND/OR TRAINS.
2012 will happen, as for the apocalypse in 2012 I don't know. :)
No, because in 2012 nothing is going to end or happen that is just a lie.
I have actually spoken to a mayan. 2012 will not be the end of the world first off. He said in 2012 there will be a change, but it will not be the end of the world. We do not exactly know what is going to happen on 2012. some people say world is going to end but some say it is not going to happen. The truth is if its really going to happen, before that particular incident happens several disastrous would take place. Hence if we are patient we would come to know the truth.
The Mayan calander ends on December 21, 2012, which happens to be the winter solstice. I have never heard that anything is going to happen on March 20 of that year. So I guess the answer is I don't know. Nothing happened in March 20 of 1912
it's highly doubtful. if you're worried about the Mayan calendar, they had a period of time that lasted 5,000 years (like we have centuries and millennia etc.) and this period of time stops in 2012, but a new one starts in 2013. don't worry about the apocalypse in 2012, there's as much chance of it ending then as there is right this second. :)
A apocalypse may happen but not in 2012.
Many believe there is no such thing. Many of those who do believe there is a coming apocalypse, believe it will happen on December 21, 2012.
no
2012 will happen, as for the apocalypse in 2012 I don't know. :)
no
No it is not. I believe the year 2012 will happen but not the apocalypse.
No.
No it want happen in 2012, as nobody knows the day of Jesus second coming.
no, God said that he will come when we least expect it. That means that the world will not end in 2012 let alone the exact date! In 1999 they thought that we were going to go back to an ice age but did that happen? no. I thank ya... NOTE- the zombie apocalypse is much more likely than the world coming to an end
OK, sorry to burst your bubble here, but i don't think a zombie apocalypse is going to happen anytime soon.
Chances are slim that December 21 2012 would be the actual day a zombie apocalypse would happen.
2012........ Just kidding, we may never know.
