2012: in all probability NOT the terminate of the world

Prophecies of the halt of the globe inwards 2012 are based on a misreading of the Mayan calendar. This is pointed out inwards Robert Bolton's first-class written report of the cycles as well as philosophy of time, The Order of the Ages. Himself a Catholic Neoplatonist, Dr Bolton examines the diverse calendrical systems as well as prophecies of different ancient civilizations, finding a release of pregnant convergences, indicating the possible halt of a cycle of history (NOT "the halt of the world") towards the halt of the introduce century. The Mayan calculation is complicated, but if Dr Bolton is correct nosotros should accept the Mayan "year" of 360 days every bit a symbolic circular number. The Mayans were every bit aware every bit anyone of the fact that a solar twelvemonth was a few days longer than this, as well as if this fact is taken into concern human relationship the halt of the introduce cycle would come upward to a greater extent than or less 2087, according to their calendar.

Of course, this form of speculation volition non convince or fifty-fifty involvement close people, but some would similar to instruct farther as well as explore the prophecies of the Book of Revelation, comparison these to the messages of the diverse apparitions as well as visionaries approved yesteryear the Church (Fatima, La Salette, as well as and therefore on). For those readers, Emmett O'Regan's majority Unveiling the Apocalypse volition move a delight. In it he fifty-fifty goes inwards some depth into the ancient release symbolism of the Bible, called Gematria. His website (follow the link I but gave) gives farther cloth as well as offers a sample chapter of the book. Some of these topics, such every bit Gematria, too come upward into my majority All Things Made New, although different O'Regan inwards my "spiritual" interpretation of the Apocalypse I don't cite to extra-scriptural prophecies as well as I don't come upward to conclusions that relate to specific dates as well as historical events.
