2012

The date and time is not the question at hand. What we have is a contradiction of God’s command. The Mayan, trying to make sense of natural seasons without the help of Gods wisdom. In command of all time and His reasons for the evolving of his plan. Produced this formula for fear, declaring death to all of man. Whereas we all know God’s word not disputed, and near, declares the end to be in dark of night. Meaning no one will know it to be in sight. The predicted date will come and go, as has the 125 others in my time. Unless of course it is God’s will for the end to come to man’s lifeline. aug 12 2010 For Gareth's contest Mathew 24:35-36 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." --Jesus Christ. Since the turn of 1900 there have been some 125 predictions, more or less, giving the exact time of the end of the world. In Camden, SC in 1975 many friends of a church gave everything away and gathered at one of the homes waiting for the end to come on one particular night. It must have been devastating to face the world and the newspapers the next day. I have often wondered how that affected those people. Surely they were blessed.

I enjoyed reading this perspective with the verse and information provided to support this perspective. Although I have not reviewed the rules of the contest, if judged without interference of personal personal beliefs, this poem shoulid do well in a contest. Well constructed and informative from the speaker's beliefs.

Charles, This poem is intriguing. I think of 2000 when something was to happen and I bought those new flashlights. Still got um. Only God knows what will happen and when. All we can do is be ready all the time. Great poem. God Bless, Cile

Predictions are just predictions, Charles, though they can seem scary at times. I appreciated the information you provided about the 125 predictions. And the Y2K predictions might well fall into this class as chaos was anticipated but never really materialized. Someone told me the Mayans intended for the "calendar" to begin anew after 12/21/12 and would be laughing at our foolishness. Great entry for the contest, Charles, and I wish you success. Love, Carolyn
