MEXICO CITY - Apolinario Chile Pixtun is tired of being bombarded with frantic questions about the Mayan calendar supposedly "running out" on Dec. 21, 2012. After all, it's not the end of the world. Or is it? Definitely not, the Mayan elder insists. "I came back from England last year and, man, they had me fed up with this stuff..." (more)
Way-YULL, nothing happened when 01/01/2000 rolled around...

I have been watching the Nostradamus Effect on the History Channel; According to the show there will be NO December 22,2012 according to Mayan, Chinese, Hopi, Hindu and Plains Indian prophecy. Only the Good Book declines to set a date, The other prophecies are based on a cyclical view of history, the Bible holds to a linear view of history. We have to put the events of December 21,2012 in the G.O.K. (God Only Knows) File Some of us will die before then, the day you die is the end of the world for you. So cheer up.
For those who have faith, no explanation is neccessary.
For those who have no faith, no explanation is possible.

If one turns his ear from hearing the Law, even his prayer is an abomination. Proverbs 28:9

Why should it be considered the "end of the world" rather than the end of a cycle? Most religions teach of an end time when those religions will come to fruition - a time of peace on earth. In the Christian vernacular: "God's kingdom on earth." How could that ever be if the world, according to some views, is to have a physical end? Does it make sense to think that way?

"Yes" to which... end of the world or end of a cycle?

Mayan Calendar Runs Out at 2012 {{{shudder}}} What Happens Next...?
Hmmm...
I personally am more concerned with what happens BEFORE... My own diary runs out on 12/31/2009, I urgently need to buy a new one...

Hey now, I just purchased a 5 year calendar - good through 2014. I intend to get my money's worth too. Ya know what that Mayan calendar thing is about? It's about some guys a long time ago playing a practical joke on us. See, they figured that will all the modern conveniences we'd be enjoying by now, we'd have nothing much to worry about. So they concocted this calendar-ending scheme to scare the pants off us; get us to believing all this was gonna end in our lifetime. Probably had a good laugh over it too. And hey, it's not like we can get them back for this one. Irene.

What does it mean when the Mayan calendar runs out?? Means it is time for the Mayans to make another calendar.
A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. Aristotle
