Define: Apocalypse : Define: Apocalypse (Greek: Ἀποκάλυψις Apokálypsis; "lifting of the veil" or "revelation")
An Apocalypse is a disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception, i.e. the veil to be lifted. The term also can refer to the eschatological final battle, the Armageddon, and the idea of an end of the world.

Is The End Near? : Is The End Near? Overall, the year 2012 has become a focal point for millions of people around the world, although admittedly, the epic center of this timely tsunami is the United States or, at least North America.
While disaster scenarios and apocalyptic literature have always been popular fodder for a certain segment of the public, 2012 has drawn more than its fair share of attention.
So much seems to center on a date that is rapidly approaching. This begs the question: “Why 2012,” or, more precisely, why December 21, 2012?
Q&A #1 : Q&A #1 Do You Believe The World Will End Someday?
Do You Believe The World Could End In 2012?
What Can You Do To Get Ready For The End of Days?
Do You Think 2012 Is Over-Hyped?
The Origin Of The Date 2012 : The Origin Of The Date 2012 There are two specific sources using actual dates – the Mayan Calendar and the prophecies of Nostradamus. These are the most quoted sources of the specific era and date.
Nostradamus is not exact in his timing. His prophecies stretch far into the future, including beyond 2012 to at least 2025. Some authors believe his prophecies actually extend as far as 3797.
P. Lorie. Nostradamus 2003-2025. A History of the Future (New York, 2002); and M. Rutherford. The Nostradamus Code. World War III, 2007-2012 (New York, 2006).
Why The Winter Solstice? : Why The Winter Solstice? The winter solstice is a significant time of the year for those who follow a seasonal calendar. In the Northern Hemisphere, including Europe, this is the shortest day of the year. It is a time of imbalance.
The winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere also marks the return of the sun. It is the beginning of the lengthy journey back towards longer days and shorter nights.
With the start of the Winter Solstice, the sun and the planet take the first steps on the journey from darkness to light. The next high point of this journey is the Summer Equinox when the days and the nights are equal.
BIBLICAL REVELATIONS : BIBLICAL REVELATIONS The Bible has long been a source for prophetic pronouncements on almost everything. This literary, historical, cultural, and moral work is the basis for many a doomsday declaration. Early and later prophets do not stipulate the exact year.
According to The Bible Code, the year 2012 is a prominent one. Michael Drosnin, the author, specifically notes the date as being significant. He decodes the Jewish Torah to discover the Hebrew year 5772 (our year 2012) to coincide with the Mayan calendar end date. It is a theory supported by others. This includes author Gregg Braden.

Slide 11 : Nostradamus (1503 – 1566), a French converted Jew, is one of the most famous prophets in the world. His early life is an important factor in establishing his career as the Seer of Salon.
Born in Saint-Remy on November 14 in Provence, France, Nostradamus came into the world as Michel de Nostredame (or Nostra Dame). He and his family had a strong heritage of scholars, doctors, and well-to-do traders.
He wrote The Centuiries which was one of his most famous works. However it was very mystical and secretive because he was afraid of being accused of heresy or witchcraft. NOSTRADAMUS
What Did He Say? : What Did He Say? Nostradamus is not exact in his timing. His prophecies stretch far into the future, including beyond 2012 to at least 2025. Some authors believe his prophecies actually extend as far as 3797.
The exact dates concerning Nostradamus rely substantially upon the interpreter of his works. Nostradamus complicated matters for the reading public (This was a necessity - to protect himself from prosecution) by writing in quatrain verse form.
This is not the first example of creating deliberate confusion. It is an age-old problem with prophets and prophecies.

Who Were The Mayans? : Who Were The Mayans? The Mayans lived on a territory covering some 200,000 square miles. It ranged from the southern corner of what is now Mexico down through Guatemala, covering most points in Central America, including Belize, El Salvador, and Northern Honduras. The oldest known Mayan settlement was in Western Guatemala within the Mam territory.
The Maya lived in what are termed City-States, comparable to the Greek arrangement, but with a different social structure. The emphasis in Maya city-states was community and theocracy.
MAYAN CALENDAR : MAYAN CALENDAR The most talked about predicator of what is to come in 2012 is the Mayan Calendar. Of all the prophetic instruments, the Mayan calendar remains the most sophisticated, the most complex, and, some claim, the most exact.
It is not an overstatement to say that the Mayans had an obsession with keeping time. According to Barrios, there are 4 basic types of calendars.
Each of these has a specific purpose. This can follow into such categories as astronomical, ceremonial, practical, or prophetic.
Barrios. pp. 148-161.
Mayan Ages : Mayan Ages The prophecies of the Mayan Calendar relate to various periods of time and history. They reflect what has past, what is happening now, and what will occur.
The basic approach is to view time within cycles. According to the interpretation of the Mayan Calendar, the world passes through 5 cycles before the Calendar ends. The cycles are called “suns” and numbered from one to five. These are also referred to as ages. They are:
Jun Ajaw
Cab Ajaw
Oxib Ajaw
Kajib Ajaw
The Fourth Sun or age is fast approaching its end. We are now moving towards the fifth sun or age. This will start in 2012.
Is The Mayan Calendar Accurate? : Is The Mayan Calendar Accurate? The date of December 21, 2012 marks the Winter Solstice and the start of the new Maya Cycle of Job Ajaw – the Fifth Sun. The year 2012 is a time of further disruption. It is a time of transformation. This is the culmination of the travails of 2012.
The Mayan Calendar, without a single doubt, has had a major effect upon the world of prognostication. It has seized the interest of the general public in a manner not hitherto seen....especially on the imagination of the popular and scientific segments of society. It is the basis for movies, documentaries, fiction and non-fiction to books, scientific studies, archeological research, historical investigations, and websites.
The speculations range from the analytical to the weird or even to the insane as the world approaches closer to 2012. How accurate is the Mayan Calendar concerning 2012? As is fitting with a group with an obsession for time, it is safe to say, “Only time will tell.”
Q&A #4 : Q&A #4 What Do You Know About The Mayans?
What Have You Heard About The Mayan Calendar Before?
Have You Ever Watched Any Documentaries About The Mayan People?
HOPI PROPHECY : HOPI PROPHECY While the Mayan calendar attracts the most attention, other native groups exist who have a body of predictive work that indicates the significance of the year 2012. The best known of these groups is the Hopi.
The Hopi are a group or tribe of indigenous peoples who live in the Southwestern United States. There are approximately 7,400 members in the Hopi Nation spread across 1,561,213 acres of land in the northeast corner of Arizona.
Their Reservation came into existence at the government’s orders in 1882. Then and now, it is in the center of a much larger reservation – the Navajo Reservation.
N. Bonvillain. The Hopi (Philadelphia, 2005); F. Waters. Book of the Hopi (New York, 1963); T. E. Mails. The Hopi Survival Kit (New York, 1997).
Hostiles & Friendlies : Hostiles & Friendlies The oldest Hopi village is Oraibi. It dates back to around 1150 CE. This village is of central importance in the cultural and historical development of the Hopi tribe. Oraibi was the site of the initial major split in the Hopi between the 2 distinct branches – still existing today.
These are the “hostiles” and the “friendlies.” The former fought against the acceptance of the vision of an assimilated native population. These are the traditionalists. The latter were, as the name indicates, accepting of the entire process.
The entire matter came to a head in 1906. Rather than to continue to live in disharmony – something that is loathsome to the Hopi culture, the two groups agreed to a contest.
Whoever lost the tug-of-war would leave Oraibi. The Friendlies won. The hostiles left to form their own center – Hotevilla. The Friendlies remained in control of Oraibi.
What Do They Say About 2012? : What Do They Say About 2012? Hopi prophecies regarding 2012 are to be the start of the Fifth Cycle. With Global warming, population explosions, flooding, the melting of polar ice caps, and water shortages as a prelude, the year 2012 will begin with a Great Purification.
The Great Day of Purification is one of the prophecies that mark a return to an ice age, a type of World War III scenario, the degradation of money, and other drastic measures.
It is even possible that the tropical lands will turn into ice if there is no cessation of the ongoing degradation of the environment.
In general, just prior to the Fifth Cycle commencing and perhaps into its early period, there will be chaos and confusion accompanied by suffering and fear. To survive you must be ‘One-Hearted’.

ZECHARIA SITCHIN’S THEORY : ZECHARIA SITCHIN’S THEORY One of the individuals who has not crossed over into the mainstream nor received any scientific support for his theory of what will occur during the last days of the planet is Zecharia Sitchin.
Zecharia Sitchin is a man responsible for two concepts involved in the 2012 phenomenon. These concern his work into the various theories of the end days. He believed the end would be around 2000 or 2034
He explores this in The End of Days: Armageddon and Prophecies of the Return published in 2007. In a different but related depiction or explanation of the end days, Sitchin turns towards a somewhat bizarre theory on the existence of an invisible planet – Planet X or Nibiru.
Planet X : Planet X Sitchin believes that cuneiform references to an “invisible planet” that comes around (“appears”) every once in a while to cause havoc is proof that an unknown planet, Nibiru, orbits the sun with a great eccentricity, swinging far out beyond Pluto for millennia before it swings in again.
He ties his theory to another idea – that beings on Nibiru meddled with human genetics in the distant past. In recent years, the timing of Nibiru’s return has been spuriously connected to 2012.
Jenkins, The 2012 Story pp. 186.
