The Long Count Calendar, Cycle One Ends

The Long Count Calendar, Cycle One Ends December twenty-first, two thousand and twelve – The Mayan long count calendar sets sights on that year. Are there ecological and cosmic questions to delve? Is it time for modern man to panic and fear? The reckoning at hand, according to Mayans, Began with the creation of the world. Then, the sky still lay on the primordial sea, black And the long count calendar began time’s whirl. Man has traveled a long way on life’s stage. Throughout time to beyond the information age, Amazing discoveries have and will come to man Since before and after the scientific method began. End of the world theories run rampant these days. Promulgated by televisions entertaining ways. History Channel’s “Decoding the Past” Brought on many doomsday sequels…and fast. Did the galactic alignment of nineteen, ninety, eight Begin the wake of a super-massive black hole fate? Or will a geomagnetic reversal mark earth’s end? Can we know when the apocalypse will begin? The Holy Bible says no one knows when. Upon that premise, hope over fear may win. Have faith and see what NASA has to say About that previously predicted calendar day. Polarity change takes thousands of years. And it doesn’t affect planetary alignments There is no huge planet heading for earth. So, predictions need realignment. Be faithful; and with Christ live a thousand years. Even if the apocalypse does start, put fears on shelve. What will really happen in two thousand and twelve? Cycle two of the Mayan long count calendar will begin. © August 26, 2010 Dane Smith-Johnsen RELEVANT SHORT VIDEO: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/video/index.cfm?id=876

Another wonderful poem of Christian faith, you share with Carolyn Devonshire the best imagination the Bible ever had to paint its scenes ... and a poetic love for earth's mysteries, as well as unique talent of using words. May God bless you

YES, YES, to your thoughts on the Mayan calendar. I just recently heard it was intended to begin all over again at the point it ended. I do, however, believe we are seeing signs of polarity changes, based on scientists who wrote the book "Pole Shift." Several predicted the North Pole would shift to NY. I also think there will be a realignment of celestial bodies as predicted by the Hopi Indians. But I'm not sure what all this means when blended with Nostradamus's theories. Great Write! Love
