Muslims believe that there can be no Eschaton until the world has endured "40 years of rain"?
They are not aware of the Nuclear radiation and pollution and has "rained" down upon us for more than forty years. There are various ancient prophecies that believe the world will end this Century.
I found that the year 2000 was the most common belief during the 70's through to the 90's.
Nostradamus predicted 1999, which is 13 years off from the Mayan Calendar of 2012. There are a number of people who believe the year of Eschaton is 2020.
Some people believed that "end" was near because of the drought of 1988 which plagued the country with record-breaking temperatures which ironically are plaguing the country today. It was thought that in 1999 the sunspot activity would cause the "end" of the world. Apparently these types of predictions come to pass.
The Xtians believe upon the Eschaton they will be swept up into the arms of their Redeemer. If this is what they believe, then they may very well find themselves, "preserved in their own bubble of spiritual sterility on the dimensional shelf of an alternate reality," where they may eternally contemplate the wonder of their salvation.
The Bible does say, "Not everyone who saith unto me, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven!"
It also states that "no man knoweth the day or the hour" of the last day.
My belief is based more on the metaphysical -- The Maya belief that Consciousness is coming to and end and not the world. We are leaving the Xtian Age of Pisces, and coming into a new Age, the Age of Aquarius.
Coinciding with the Xtian Eschaton is the Hopi Apocalypse of the "Fourth World". The Hopi believe that evolution produces new awareness but also creates corruption, which must be cleansed. Those who have not been corrupted will become the seed people of the next world.
Hindus tend to think of themselves as living in the "age" at present, that age is the evil "Kali Yuga". If you think about it, we are experiencing an Apocalyptic world just the same.
We all have different dates because we all have different perceptions of time.
The Chinese live in an older world, which is the year 4707 for them. Jewish people are living in the year 5770.
Now the Mayans dwell in almost inconceivably vast ages, called baktuns and the current one, according to the Mayan Calendar, ends in 2012. The "Harmonic Convergence" of 1987, marked the entry of the 20-year period, and the "speeding up" of time which started in 1992, which marked the beginning of the final 20 years of a 160,000 year cycle.
The "world" is, in a very real sense, the creation of those who inhabit it. So when our forefathers created the United States, they quite deliberately and correctly referred to this as a "new world" and gave the Great Seal the designation NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM ("New Order of the Ages") which you can still read on every dollar bill.
Every maker of a "new" world, whether secular or religious, brings in his own "Age." Jesus Christ, arriving at the beginning of the Piscean Age, brought with him an automatic 2000-year lease on time which runs out in this century, the beginning of the Aquarian Age.
Perhaps come 2012 few will notice, that the "end" refers merely to the official passing of the Galilean Age and the world will be so desperately struggling to survive that there will be little time for messiahs.
You will understand that these 'end of the world' dates constitute a map of reality, but are obviously not Reality itself. The date of the Eschaton isn't important. We have to understand that we've reached the end of our evolutionary cycle, we must evolve, it's nature at least very little.
At any rate, by now it should be clear that we're moving quickly, not only metaphysically and synchronistically, but literally into the charged nexus of "ending ages", into a kind of central vortex. My task is to help light the way for the confused through the darkness of our disintegrating society.
