Mayans couldn't even see their own End of Days MY prediction for the year 2012, which I am told begins tomorrow, is that the world will not end. This is despite the belief that the Mayan calendar says that it will. The calendar was devised 5,125 years ago by the Mayans of Central America, a people who never had the wit to invent the wheel, but it runs out on Dec. 21, 2012. The End of Days, so to speak. If, as some seers suggest, thats an accurate prediction, you have less than a year to get your affairs in...

Now that The Rapture has passed, Harold Camping has confirmed the Apocalypse – October 21, 2011. May 21st, 2011 has come and gone. The Rapture is over. Now the dread can begin because on October 21st, 2011… all of us that have been Left Behind, will die. As crestfallen followers of a California preacher who foresaw the world’s end strained to find meaning in their lives, Harold Camping revised his apocalyptic prophecy Monday, saying he was off by five months and the Earth actually will be obliterated on Oct. 21.

QUIX: SHORT EXCERPTS ARE OFFERED IN A SORT OF EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FIRST--THEN THE ENTIRE NARRATIVE AS AVAILABLE AT SPIRITLESSONS.COM I found this to be another anointed, Biblical narrative about a very convincing Heavenly visitation--actually, as usual, to hell, too. There's an item or 3 in this one to potentially trouble the RC's and Maryolators, . . . as well as some potentially troubling things for some Calvinists, however. Read at your own risk. Those exposed to The Truth are responsible before God for what they do about and with The Truth.On the other hand, ignorance affords no eternal protection....

A mysterious, pale green figure seen in televised news coverage of the Egyptian riots has prompted some viewers to ask, "Could this be the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse?"

RALEIGH, N.C. — If there had been time, Marie Exley would have liked to start a family. Instead, the 32-year-old Army veteran has less than six months left, which she'll spend spreading a stark warning: Judgment Day is almost here. Exley is part of a movement of Christians loosely organized by radio broadcasts, websites, independent of churches and convinced by their reading of the Bible that the end of the world will begin on May 21, 2011. To get the word out, they're using billboards and bus stop benches, traveling caravans of RVs and volunteers passing out pamphlets on street...

Winter is slowly melting away here in the U.S., and Spring will soon be upon us. Wall Street is currently flush with delight at the year long run of the stock market (driven by fiat bailouts), which at first glance appears to be doing quite well, though international incidences such as those in Dubai and Greece have revealed how shaky the market actually is in the face of any unhealthy news. In the meantime, the dollar, recently on the edge of detrimental value loss, has made a semi-miraculous recovery in the span of a few months, especially as the Euro...

The “time of Noah�, as referenced in this report, refers to our Earth’s last major technological civilization, whose remains are still evident today, but of whom, according to ancients, it was warned:A new report commissioned for President Medvedev by Patriarch Cyril, the 16th Patriarch of Moscow and all of Russia, [photo top left with Medvedev] is warning that the West has become so “godless� and “morally depleted� they are now unable to recognize, or discern, the coming “End of Days� prophesized by the ancients to come when our World would, once again, descend into madness as happened during the time...

We've found a fabulous place that sells dented canned veggies. I've got a pantry filled. A case of 24 cans is 4-5 dollars. We've got the weapons and ammo stored. We live next to a farm, and can get meat and veggies, either deer, turkeys (a milk cow, did you ever try meat from a milk cow?) or bartering with the farmers for corn and tomatoes. We live on a well and septic, and have a great generator. We also have wood, Can we live without power? We're 90% there. What are you all doing to prepare for this? You...

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) – Scuba divers are exploring the depths of a volcanic lake in Guatemala to find clues about an ancient sacred island where Mayan pilgrims flocked to worship before it was submerged by rising waters. Samabaj, the first underwater archaeological ruins excavated in Guatemala, were discovered accidentally 12 years ago by a diver exploring picturesque Lake Atitlan, ringed by Mayan villages and popular with foreign tourists. "No one believed me, even when I told them all about it. They just said 'he's mad'," said Roberto Samayoa, a businessman and recreational diver who grew up near the lake where...

Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” He rules a member country that is part of a world body believed to be the New Roman Empire (future kingdom of the antichrist-Daniel 2; 8:25). He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power. As Christians of *Today* do we have...

Remember James G. Watt? He was Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of the Interior. A Westerner who believed the country’s resources should be wisely used, not hoarded. This was an abrupt reversal of the trend under Nixon and Carter in which millions of acres were put under the control of the federal government annually, and the definition of “endangered” under the Endangered Species Act had broadened beyond all meaning. Enraged environmentalists finally settled on a line of attack towards Watt that had little to do with his (and Reagan’s) policies, which most Americans would consider common sense if they bothered with the...

Presently, there is an unprecedented push for peace in the Mideast. President Obama, Pope Benedict XVI, along with a significant host of other powerful world leaders, clamor once and for all for a two-state solution. They have heightened concern that the writing is on the 403-mile wall currently protecting Israeli's from Palestinian terror that a Middle East war is imminent. As the clock rapidly ticks toward what will likely be the prophetic Psalm 83 showdown, Israel circles the wagons in preparation for a multi-front confederate conflict with its ancient enemies, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu loosens his grip from the...

Call me sick or just a little morbidly curious, but I’ve always been fascinated by end-of-days entertainment, with one notable (and ironic) exception: Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “End of Days.” There is just something about various post-apocolyptic scenarios that makes me happy. Maybe it’s the fact that in a planet decimated by disease, everyone’s bad credit will likely be wiped out. Or I won’t have to wait as long for a table at my favorite lunch spot. Or maybe it’s everything that the big screen and small screen has taught us goes along with deadly outbreaks of disease that has humanity teetering...

SNIPPET: "The deficit will be then appended to the national debt, which currently stands at $10.7 trillion. Nearly than 70 percent of our GDP, this astounding amount grows by $2.3 billion every day. To put it in comprehensible terms, every single American family would have to pay $160,000 in taxes in order to erase that amount. But this is not the full story. The $10.6 trillion is only a fraction of the real national debt, which, in reality, is roughly six times higher. The difference between the official figure and the government’s true obligations is made up of entitlements, primarily...

"An anti-Islam Dutch politician banned from entering Great Britain says he has been detained upon arrival at Heathrow Airport and will be returned home."

The end of the world is nearly upon us, but there's a silver lining: At least you know when your 401(k) will finally hit bottom. Mark Dec. 21, 2012 on your calendar. That's the exact day that lots of normally sane people believe some disaster will befall our planet - and not the kind of annoying everyday disaster like your cable going out or Ethan Hawke writing another novel. We're talking Biblical proportions - the end of life on Earth as we know it.

Praying to "La Santa Muerte" is a growing and controversial practice along the U.S./Mexico border. Worshippers hope "Holy Death" will bring them love, luck and peace. Although the Catholic Church has condemned the worship of "La Santa Muerte", many people insist on praying to this figure for miracles. An investigation by Texas television station KGBT-TV began in Ciudad Victoria, Mexico -- the capital and heart of the State of Tamaulipas. On any given day, Ciudad Victoria residents enjoy the city's main square plaza with live music, someone shinning shoes, clowns entertaining and food stands offering a variety of quick meals....

A stone seal bearing the name of one of the families who acted as servants in the First Temple and then returned to Jerusalem after being exiled to Babylonia has been uncovered in an archeological excavation in Jerusalem's City of David, a prominent Israeli archeologist said Wednesday. The 2,500-year-old black stone seal, which has the name "Temech" engraved on it, was found earlier this week amid stratified debris in the excavation under way just outside the Old City walls near the Dung Gate, said archeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar, who is leading the dig. According to the Book of Nehemiah, the...

A Jordanian official called on Israel Wednesday to stop archaeological excavations in the Old City of Jerusalem, the official Petra news agency reported. Israel has been carrying out excavations on a ramp leading up to a disputed holy site. The digging has sparked clashes between police and Muslims in Jerusalem and touched off fierce criticism throughout the Muslim world. "Israel must stop its continuous practices and measures to Judaize the city and change its Arab and Islamic characteristics," said Abdullah Kanaan, the head of Jordan's Royal Committee for Jerusalem's Affairs. Muslims fear the work will harm Islamic shrines on the...

Science Daily — Tiny tremors and temblors recently discovered in fault zones from California to Japan are generated by slow-moving earthquakes that may foreshadow catastrophic seismic events, according to scientists at Stanford University and the University of Tokyo. In a study published in the March 15 issue of the journal Nature, the research team focused on weak seismic signals known as "non-volcanic tremor" and "low-frequency earthquakes," which seismologists say may be useful in forecasting the likelihood of potentially destructive mega-quakes of magnitude 8 or higher."Non-volcanic tremor is a weak shaking of the Earth that was discovered about five years ago...

Will the "Time Bomb" over the Temple Mount ignite? Will this and perchance Israel becoming the world's Oil King after striking oil (mother load) in the Dead Sea ignite World War III and Armegeddon? The Temple Time Bomb By Jay Gary Can it be diffused? Or will the Middle East explode in war? Defying all logic, a 35-acre landmass surrounded by ancient walls is ground zero to the end-time dreams and fears of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Known by Muslims as the Haram esh-Sharif or Noble Enclosure since A.D. 638, these fortress walls guard Islam's third holiest site, the golden...

Excerpt - LITTLE ROCK --As state legislators line up against the U.S. government's attempt to standardize driver's licenses nationwide, some believe it is a beastly plot that will draw the world closer to the apocalypse. Their inspiration: a magazine dedicated to biblical prophecy. Their fear: national ID numbers given to residents are the mark of the beast, the 666 from the Book of Revelation. "The ramifications are horrendous," said Sen. Ruth Whitaker, whose resolution opposing the Real ID Act of 2005 has passed the Arkansas Senate. "If there is anything akin to Nazi Germany, it is this act." ~ snip...

Animal sacrifices should be renewed on the Temple Mount, a member of the radical Sanhedrin organization told Ynetnews. In ancient Israel and Judea, the Sanhedrin served as the highest court in the land, and was made up of 71 top judges. Now, a group of îåãòä fringe rabbis say they have reformed the group, although the organization has received no recognition from Israel's official religious authorities. "In the Torah there are around 200 commandments dealing with animal sacrifices," said Rabbi Dov Stein, of the Sanhedrin organization. "The Torah of Israel demands animal sacrifices. When the people of Israel were in...

The mysterious catastrophe has taken place over a period of three weeks in Esperance, about 450 miles southeast of Perth. The area was declared a disaster zone by government officials. So far, authorities are clueless as to the cause. Autopsies on the birds have shed no light. The main casualties, according to Australian news sources, are wattle birds, yellow-throated miners, new holland honeyeaters and singing honeyeaters. Some dead crows, hawks and pigeons have also been found. Some birds were seen convulsing when they died. Wildlife officers are baffled by what they characterize as a "catastrophic" event. It does not appear...

THOUSANDS of birds have fallen from the skies over Esperance and no one knows why. Is it an illness, toxins or a natural phenomenon? A string of autopsies in Perth have shed no light on the mystery. All the residents of flood-devastated Esperance know is that their "dawn chorus" of singing birds is missing. The main casualties are wattle birds, yellow-throated miners, new holland honeyeaters and singing honeyeaters, although some dead crows, hawks and pigeons have also been found. Wildlife officers are baffled by the "catastrophic" event, which the Department of Environment and Conservation said began well before last week's...

PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Astronomers are stepping up the global effort to scan the skies for "near-Earth objects": asteroids and comets on a potential collision course with the planet and big enough to pack a deadly punch. The International Astronomical Union said Thursday it has set up a special task force to broaden and sharpen its focus on impact threats.

You may not understand now what I am going to say, which has to do with separation from, and separation of, family. But you very well will understand in your own time. The illegal aliens who are now so demanding, and who are now being given their demands. and for that reason will now demand much, much more - indeed everything, from you - they talk about how those who want to have the most basic laws, perhaps people like you who want the most basic laws because you want to protect your family, well, people like you are told...

It's bad enough when Christian fundamentalists back Israel in hopes that Armageddon will soon engulf the Holy Land and bring on the second coming. But at least Christian revivalists aren't pursuing their dream with nuclear weapons. The millions who read Tim De La Haye's Left Behind novels aren't rushing to Jerusalem to precipitate the Rapture. It's far more unsettling when an Iranian leader who says Israel should be wiped off the map starts talking of ''end times'' -- and is seeking nuclear weapons. The millennial obsession of Iran's new president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, gives added urgency to U.S. and European efforts...
