It's the End of the World

After watching the Mel Gibson's the Apocalypse, my friend told me about a Myan calendar that predicts the end of the world will occur in 2012. It was based on the accuracy of the Myan calendar.

For many centuries, people have been predicting the year, month and sometimes day of the apocalypse. These are usually religious in nature and is made during or after major social and political upheavals, an astronomical alignment, adding dates to form some sort of equation, or just out of thin air!

Let's compile a list of end of the world predictions and try to find a common trait with the people that make these predictions and it's believers.

Y2K Bug www.ironic.com/y2k go

The Year 2000 problem (also known as the Y2K problem, the millennium bug, and the Y2K Bug) was the result of a practice in early computer program design that caused some date-related processing to operate incorrectly for dates and times on and after January 1, 2000.

Predications came out for the end of the world. People organized in groups and held meetings after church service about how to prepare for the Y2K crisis. A typical scenario Y2K: all computers would crash causing a collapse in the world economy. There would be an energy crisis, food and water would not be available. People would starve and die of disease. Signaling the end of the world.

AMONG THE QURANIC PROPHECIES relating to events and inventions of our age, there are some which are of outstanding importance and great global significance. One such prophecy relates to the impending danger of a nuclear holocaust.

This prophecy was made at a time when man could not entertain the idea of an atomic explosion by any stretch of his imagination.

Dates Add Up www.bible.ca/pre-date-setters.htm go

Adding numbers and dates to formulate an end of the world predication has been common. Here is a scientific calculation:

End of world; Implied in Hal Lindsay's revision. 1st said 1948+40=1988; Later Israel did not have land until 1967 War; 1967+40=2007; Rapture seven years earlier. Also now says generation from 60-80 yrs. Puts it also at 2040, 2047
