It's Not the End of the World...Is It?
December 21, 2012, the day mankind becomes extinct. The 
 Mayans, an Indian tribe from a distant time, drew out a calendar. 
 They specifically stopped writing it on the month of December, the 
 21st day, in the 21st century year 2012. It is believed that that is the 
 day mother earth will stop spinning. The moon will never rise and 
 the sun will never set. The stars will never race across the sky for 
 you to wish upon ever again. The world as we know it will stop 
 shifting gears.
 
 
 I personally don’t think it will be the end of the world, but it will 
 be so devastating, we will all wish it was the end. Perhaps two 
 planets will clash, or the sun will orbit close enough to us that we 
 will burn from the outside-in. maybe star will explode and have the 
 same reaction of a split atom. Or even a radiation leak.  Whatever the reason. It will be 
 horrible.
 
    In the words of Nostradamus, “After there is a great trouble 
 among mankind, a greater one is prepared. The great mover of the 
 universe will renew time, rain, blood, thirst, famine, steel weapons, 
 and disease. In the heavens a fire seen.” Researchers say that this 
 quote from Nostradamus could mean anything, but they have no 
 official proof it isn’t about 2012. Nostradamus also said, “The 
 universe will renew time.” Again these words can mean anything 
 and could be on any subject. But all his previous predictions were 
 never wrong. John F. Kennedy’s death, Hurricane Katrina, 9-11 a.k.a. 
 the Twin Towers, the Great Fire of London, the French Revolution, 
 the Challenger explosion all the way to Hitler and the Holocaust. 
 And there is one prediction of a huge earthquake in California that 
 hasn’t come true just yet. Could that possibly trigger the end? Or 
 could it trigger our knowing that we are all better off dead than to 
 live through what could be the end of everything we’ve come to 
 know? Only God knows.
