SAFE! At least for now.

There are a number of folks who have been concerned about the prophecy of the Mayas and their calender. Somewhere around December 21, 2012, the World will end – according to their thinking.

Now for some good news:

MEXICO CITY (AP) — As the clock winds down to Dec. 21, experts on the Mayan calendar have been racing to convince people that the Mayas didn’t predict an apocalypse for the end of this year.

I guess it is time to start thinking about those New Year’s resolutions.

Bunches (I like the certainty of numbers) of people in the history of the World have made predictions about the end of it all. So far – all, I repeat, all have been wrong. Maybe we need to let up on the Mayas – since some are saying now that they didn’t say now.

“The Mayas did make prophecies, but not in a fatalistic sense, but rather about events that, in their cyclical conception of history, could be repeated in the future,” said Barrera, of the National Institute of Anthropology and History. Experts stressed that the ancient Mayas, whose “classic” culture of writing, astronomy and temple complexes  flourished from A.D. 300 to 900, were extremely interested in future events, far beyond Dec. 21. “There are many ancient Maya monuments that discuss events far into the future from now,” wrote Geoffrey Braswell, an anthropologist at the University of California, San Diego.  “The ancient Maya clearly believed things would happen far into the future from now.” (Ibid.)

The end of the age (World, Time, History) is coming, of course. But only One know when, and how (though He has given us a lot of information regarding the issue). That would be Jehovah God. The Creator of all that is will bring everything to His conclusion. It could be soon – or far away. But, according to the song writer, “we must live as if His coming, could be tomorrow, or today.” (Baynard Fox)
