Spiritually speaking...How many christians believe in the 2012 prophecy?

Update:

Listless, I don't care if you think my question is idiotic or the fact that you are rude. I'm only curious because I've read many christians who think 2012 is the end and I was just wondering why a christian would believe that the end ofthe mayan calendar would be the date for armageddon or the end of life as we know it.

    Unless someone presses that red button setting off their nukes for WW3 then NO, the mayans couldn't predict their own demise?. Why should I or anyone else worry about the fact they run out of calender space. Except for those who are looking for the End of the World :) for whatever reason.

    None should, because 1. It's not a prophecy, the Mayan calendar just ends and 2. Jesus said He would come like a thief, at a day and hour unknown to all but the Father, so if we claim to know the day then it's a lie and He won't come. But Jesus said we don't know the day nor hour, which means the world may end in the year 2012, just not on December 21st.

    It says in the Holy Book that the Lord shall return when no one is expecting it, and he will divide the people, with the lambs on his right, and the others to his left. Then the believers shall go to heaven.

    If a person is truly a Christian, then they don't believe the 2012 prophecy, but they are all still ready for whenever the Lord comes.

    I assume a stable conflict between countries contained in the Northern Hemisphere, all and sundry vying against the different contained in the call of acquiring useful metals. This conflict would be presaged by skill of a burning flame, which will shuttle for many miles until eventually it reaches the placement of disagreement. in this year the US will undergo a vicious ability conflict, and a good number of would be pitched against their kinfolk. Ideologies will conflict, and the persons of that united states of america will develop into polarised as quickly as extra. finally, the skies will darken over the Southern hemisphere, and the solar will vanish from the sunlight hours sky. Heed my warnings, all! yet concern no longer. via fact in my view i'm finding forward to the olympics, the US elections are continuously exciting to stick to and who *would not* like a competent image voltaic eclipse? no longer something to fret approximately in any respect!

    Didn't the Mayans come up with that prophecy? I only take the biblical prophecies seriously.Only God knows when Jesus will return and I'll wait for Him.

    I believe that there are prophesies that happen, but I don't think we can predict when they're going to happen. Maybe something horrible will occur in 2012, but I don't think the world will end. Even if something does, I think we'll say, "That was it?"

    Source(s): I'm a Christian.

    You can't be Christian and believe in that. God said that no one will know when the world will end. Since everyone "knows" the world is going to end in 2012 it goes against what God said.

    God bless! :)
