The document discusses various prophecies surrounding the year 2012, ranging from the total destruction of Earth to an age of global enlightenment and spiritual transformation. Some prophecies predict catastrophic events like polar shifts, solar flares, and earthquakes that could wipe out human civilization. However, others believe 2012 will usher in a new era of less conflict, environmental stewardship, and inner peace. Ultimately, the accuracy of predicting the future is uncertain, so the best approach may be focusing on improving life in the present moment.

Many prophecies surround December 21, 2012. Some center on the demise of human civilization
and Earth, others believe 2012 will herald an age of enlightenment and transformation of world
order. While prophecies fluctuate between destruction and restoration; no one argues change is
coming. The key prophecy for 2012 that causes greatest alarm and curiosity is to do with earth's
destruction.
Mass Destruction
Many prophecies surrounding December 2012 involve the destruction of planet Earth. According
to theorists, events are already happening which will lead to destruction of Earth.
Based on the Mayan Long Calendar, 2012 is the year the Sun will go through the next cycle of
magnetic change. During this time the Sun's poles will shift causing solar flares; although this
happens every 11 years, this cycle is predicted to be extreme.
Saturn and Jupiter are drawing close to Earth's gravitational field. Magnetic energy produced from
this alignment, coupled with alignment of the Sun and Earth's poles, will cause chaos on Earth.
These alignments will cause a polar shift on Earth: the North Pole will become the South Pole and
vice versa. This shift will cause earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis unparalleled in history.
Catastrophic loss of continents will occur from floods and earthquakes. Solar flares are predicted
to bombard Earth decimating what remains.
While these predictions seem extreme, there is scientific proof that gives credence to this
prophecy; however, change and destruction will be on a smaller scale and leave behind
significantly less destruction than predicted.
Biblical Prophecy
Those vaguely familiar with Biblical prophecy cannot help but make the connection between
December 21, 2012 and end times predicted in the Bible. While the Bible is clear that God has not
revealed the exact time for the end of the world, there are striking parallels between Biblical
prophecy and the Mayan calendar.
The Bible predicts total destruction of Earth via earthquakes, floods, and God's final judgment,
Armageddon; the final battle between good and evil. The Bible says once the battle between good
and evil is won, God will destroy heaven and Earth and create a new world in which His followers
will dwell forever.

2. Age of Enlightenment
As some predict world destruction, others prophecy a time of heightened spirituality and
enlightenment. Spiritualists interpret the Mayan calendar, not as the end of the world, but of an
age. They predict this new age will bring global consciousness in which mankind will turn from
greed, murders, and strife, and focus on building a new world order.
This new world will be free of war, economic adversity, and environmental waste. Our altered
focus will be inner spirituality and peace, global unity, and restoration of mother Earth.
Prophecies surrounding December 21, 2012 range from total destruction to rebirth of Earth.
Unfortunately, history has taught us predicting our future often fails and an environment of fear
and unrest is created until the prophecy is found to be untrue.
Perhaps we should focus less on things we can't control, like the future, and turn our attention to
circumstances we can change that will make the world better for all humans.
Ultimately, the prophecy for 2012 that everyone fears just may not come to pass and what remains
important is the day to day moment to moment quality of life that we lead.
