Christianity (2nd coming of Christ)
* The I-Ching calendar
* The Celts
* The Web Bot Oracle
* Judaism (ancient scriptures refer to the "end of days." the
coming of the Messiah bringing the Messianic Ages of universal peace)
* Hinduism (the end of the current dark Kali Yuga age)
* Buddhism (the coming of the next Buddha, Maitreya)
* Islam (return of the Madhi to defeat Masih ad-Dajjal -- the
"Imposter Messiah" -- bringing in a golden age of peace on earth
before the Final Judgment)
* Maoris (Say that as the veils dissolve there will be a merging
of the physical & spiritual worlds)
* Zulu (Believe that the whole world will be turned upside down)
* Dogon (Say that the spaceship of the visitors, the Nommo, will return
in the form of a blue star)
* Pueblo (Acknowledges 2012'll be the emergence into the Fifth World)
* Cherokee (Their ancient calendar also ends exactly at 2012)
* Tibetan (Kalachakra teachings are prophesies left by Buddha
predicting coming of the Golden Age.)
* Egypt (According to the Great Pyramid (stone calendar), present time
cycle ends in year 2012 AD)
* Scientists (by describing the effects of climate change, pollution
and other environmental destruction)
* Communists (the anti-religion religion) -- because they believe the
workers will eventually overthrow capitalists. The words of The
Internationale connote an apocalypse ("Tis the final conflict, let each
stand in his place, The international working class shall be the human
race") The last line doesn't leave any room for even the existence
of capitalists.
It's obvious that human beings of all times and places have expected
an end to the world as we currently know it, even though this was not
possible through human means until the spread of nuclear
weapons following World War II.
You have to wonder why that is.
It can't be genetic -- because beliefs cannot be recorded or
transmitted by DNA. Beliefs are not instincts, like a baby's fear of falling.
So if a belief in a final destruction followed by the world's rebirth
is not an intrinsic part of our bodies -- why is it present in almost
every human culture of the past thousands of years?

their daily business as though life as we know it will never
change -- when the truth is, life as we know it has never STOPPED changing.
And those changes are speeding up, as foretold in the book FUTURE SHOCK by
Alvin Toffler in 1970, a year which already feels like a million years ago.
Can everybody be wrong? Will the world just continue on? Will
December 21, 2012 be just another day of the Earth spinning on its axis
as it revolves around the sun?
