Hey guys, Y2K.

Why is our generation so obsessed with apocalypses?

Seriously, knock it off, it's not going to happen for thousands~billions of years.

That's what all Jews say...

This has been going on since the beginning. There is no end.

What's your serious input on this guys? I know I know every year someone goes "OMG THE WORLD IS ENDING THIS YEAR" but I just have a gut feeling about this.

Hmmmm

You're an idiot. Your friend is an idiot, and you and him belong together. They've been predicting the end of the world over and over for years and years. It's never happened.

It's really hard to believe but theres no reason not to believe it. Holy fucking shit

lol, the mayans predicted then end of the world would be in december of 2012.

In every generation, there have been people who thought the world would end in their lifetime. They've all been wrong.

I'm an atheist, so the only thing that even slightly disturbs me is the Mayan calendar prediction. The Mayans were a scientific people and had very impressive astronomy; if they decreed that the earth is ending, then maybe it actually means something.

Then again, you have to realize that the Mayans eventually disappeared. That means, at some point they would've HAD to have stopped making calendars, since they had either moved or been killed off or god knows what. Since they weren't around indefinitely, the last calendar they made is being perceived as the end of the world, but we don't really know whether that was MEANT to be their last calendar. Maybe they had planned to make even more, but then whatever happened to them happened, and they didn't get a chance.

Another idea is that they simply decided "enough is enough" and focused on something else. The Mayans documented up to 2012 A.C.E. That'd be like us having calendars that go all the way to 3000+. The point I'm trying to make is that the Mayan's last calendar is taken out of context: we don't really know why they didn't make more.

Nope. Humans will be the end of the world, not god.
Religion is a fucking joke, made up by some lunatic from the past.
The world would be a much better place without religion brainwashing people.

Maybe its going to happen right around the solar eclipse...

Soemthing seems odd about that this year.

I was reading. And this part of an article caught my eye. It's very similar to what our topic starter is talking about. The article is about Armageddon (aka the final judgement, battle of god and satan).

After the destruction of the Beast at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the promised Kingdom is set up, in which Messiah will rule for a literal 1,000 years, along with the Saints. A final test is given. Satan is loosed "for a season" and goes out to deceive the nations, specifically, Gog and Magog.[18] The army mentioned attacks the Saints in the New Jerusalem, they are defeated by a judgment of fire coming down from Heaven, and then comes the Great White Throne judgment, which includes all of those through the ages[19] and these are cast into the Lake of Fire, which event is also known as the "second death". Pentecost describes this thusly:

"The destiny of the lost is a place in the lake of fire (Rev. 19:20; 20:10, 14-15; 21:8). This lake of fire is described as everlasting fire (Matt. 25:41;[20] 18:8[21]) and as unquenchable fire (Mark 9:43-44[22], 46, 48)[23]), emphasizing the eternal character of retribution of the lost." (p. 555)
The last two chapters of Revelation,[24] deal with the New Heavens and the New Earth.
