Hum, more often than not, i imagine prophesy is a collection of hooey. however, i ought to admit the 012 aspect makes me a touch anxious. right here's the proponderence of information. There are discussions of the comet which "will strike the Planet" in no a lot less then 4 seperate elements. The Mayan Calendar, the Bible code, some Nostrodamus references and - startlingly - technology itself. technology knows that in 2012 the earth will line up with the middle of the universe for the first time in like 25000 years and, because of gravitational wakes in area, we will be more effective vunerable to this sort of aspect. however, The Mayan predictions are form of peculiar, they assume that in each and all ages peole gained't believe the authorities, there'll be droughts and floods and folk will make war. Gee, i might want to assume that and that i'm no longer psychic. Nostrodamus is notoriously confusing to interpet until eventually you comprehend what your searching for and the Bible code has some those who might want to debunk it with ease. technology says no longer some thing definitive, yet when your anxious, enable me inform you some thing else of the prophesies. The comet gained't honestly hit us. the international gained't end. each and every of the three prophetic elements say that God or some different person will divert the comet and humanity will enter a golden age because human beings will finally understand why they were positioned right here. form of a tribulation by using hearth. So, no, the international gained't bring about 2012, no matter if the prophesies are maximum magnificent. in certainty, issues receives more effective after that. And besides, Prophesy is hooey. :)
