Do the horrific natural tragedies like the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, the Haitian earthquake or the Katrina hurricane, the Texas drought and fires mean that the end times talked about in the Book of Revelation are actually here? Many people have speculated about the “signs of the times” throughout the ages; in present times we also encounter predictions about the apocalypse.
Come explore the truth about end times and the last book of the Bible in light of the these events and predictions.
“. . . Blessed are those who listen to this prophetic message and heed what is written in it, for the appointed time is near.”
(Revelation 1:3)
The End of the World, Jesus and 2012
By Barbara Beckwith - Source: St. Anthony Messenger
“Amidst all the speculation about the end of the world coming in 2012 (fueled partly by Roland Emmerich’s new movie [2012]), we have to decide where to put our faith. Do we believe ancient or modern prophets of Doomsday? Or do we put our trust in Jesus and his calendar?”
“Mayan descendants and experts on the culture are uncertain as to precisely what 2012 meant to the Maya. Was it the end of the world or a reminder to get a new calendar, as we do every New Year’s Eve? Most think they saw it as a harbinger of profound spiritual transition—good or bad—for humankind.”
