Mayan Regions in Mexico Launch Countdown to December 2012 ‘Apocalypse’

Mayan Villages Countdown to December 2012 Apocalypse While Tourism BoomsMEXICO CITY (The Blaze/AP) — Seize the day.

Only a year is left before Dec. 21, 2012, when some believe the Maya predicted the end of the world.

While some doomsday theorists may suggest putting together survival kits, people in southeastern Mexico, the heart of Maya territory, plan to throw a yearlong celebration. And to make a profit while they party.

Mexico’s tourism agency expects to draw 52 million visitors over the coming year just to the five states richest in Maya heritage. Mexico as a whole is expected to lure just 22 million foreigners this year.

It is selling the date, the Winter Solstice, as a time of renewal. Most Mexican archaeological authorities say that the 2012 reference on a 1,300-year-old stone tablet only marks the end of a cycle in the Mayan calendar, not an apocalypse.

“The world will not end. It is an era,” said Yeanet Zaldo, a tourism spokeswoman for the Caribbean state of Quintana Roo, home to Cancun. “For us, it is a message of hope.”

Cities and towns in the Mayan region are starting the yearlong countdown on Wednesday. The city of Tapachula on the Guatemalan border will start an 8-foot (2.5-meter) digital clock in its main park to begin the countdown exactly a year before the date.

In the nearby archaeological site of Izapa, Maya priests will burn incense, chant and offer prayers.

On Mexico’s Caribbean coast, between the resorts of Cancun and Playa del Carmen, people are putting messages and photos in a time capsule that will be buried for 50 years. Maya priests and Indian dancers will perform a ritual at the time capsule ceremony.

“People who still live in Mayan villages will host rites and burn incense for us to go back in time and try to understand the Mayan wisdom,” Zaldo said.

Yucatan state has announced plans to complete the Maya Museum of Merida by next summer.

And President Felipe Calderon recently announced there would be about 500 Maya-themed events throughout the year in southern Mexico, including workshops and dance and music festivals.

Officials are building a state-run tourist hotel at the natural reserve of Calakmul in the state of Campeche. And the National Institute of Anthropology and History is opening three additional ruins to tourists.

Some theorists have found evidence of a 2012 apocalypse in the Bible, the prophesies of Nostradamus or in the alignment of celestial bodies, and official assurances that the world is likely to continue have not convinced everyone.

An article on the website “survivalguide2012” advises readers that in addition to stocking up on emergency supplies, they might consider heading to mountains on Dec. 21, perhaps those in Alaska or Bolivia.

“Regardless whether the threat of December 21, 2012, is real or not, there is no harm in being prepared” said the author, writing under the name Yang Muffins.

The Mayan civilization, which reached its height from 300 A.D. to 900 A.D., had a talent for astronomy

Its Long Count calendar begins in 3,114 B.C., marking time in roughly 394-year periods known as Baktuns. Thirteen was a significant, sacred number for the Mayas, and they wrote that the 13th Baktun ends on Dec. 21, 2012.

The doomsday theories stem from a pair of tablets discovered in the 1960s at the archaeological site of Tortuguero in the Gulf of Mexico state of Tabasco that describe the return of a Mayan god at the end of a 13th period.

“The Maya are viewed by many westerners as exotic folks that were supposed to have had some special, secret knowledge,” said Maya scholar Sven Gronemeyer. “What happens is that our expectations and fears get projected on the Maya calendar.”

Gronemeyer of La Trobe University in Australia compares the supposed Mayan prophecies to the “Y2K” hype, when people feared all computer systems would crash when the new millennium began on Jan. 1, 2000.

For some reason, Gronemeyer says, people have ignored evidence that dates beyond 2012 were recorded in Mayan ruins.

“Human beings seem to be attracted by apocalyptic ideas and always assume the worst,” he said.

Jonnie Channell of Albuquerque, New Mexico, says that 2012 “is going to be one of those things where people are definitely going to have to plan,” not because of impending apocalypse, but because hotel rooms in the Maya region are probably going to be full.

Channell, who owns Maya Sites Travel Services, said she already has 24 reservations for three tour packages she is offering to major Mayan ruin sites in the week leading up to the solstice.

She named one “Beginning the New Calendar Era Under the Yucatan Stars.”

“We put together these tours, and we’ve got lots of signups, and people are excited about it,” she said. “If anybody think it’s going to be the end of the world, then they better stay home.”

    Daniel Corrects the Anno Domini Dating System
    Subject: Daniel corrects the Anno Domini Dating System
    Date: Sun, 6 Nov 2011 15:42:25 -0500

    The Anno Domini (In the year of our Lord) dating system devised by Dionysius Exiguus in AD525 is an example of good intensions but you know what they say about good intensions. He hoped to create a Christian era dating system based on the life of Jesus Christ. The dating system of his day were given the name of the currently ruling emperor but because they were the ones persecuting and killing Christians over the first five centuries, after the death and resurrection of Jesus, he wanted to have a dating system that did not acknowledge these emperors.
    Because his new system is based on the life of Jesus and created five centuries after his death and resurrection, I started to question how accurate could this system be. Over the years, I have read and thought about Daniel chapter nine and his vision of the seventy weeks and Gabriel explanation of its meaning. Daniel is told, in the year the decree is given by the king to repair the walls of Jerusalem, from that year until the Messiah is cutoff will be sixty-two weeks times seven or four hundred and thirty-four years. Daniel is not given a number of years that it would be from his vision to when the repairs would begin, for now this is an unknown but when we arrive at the end of the sixty-nine week, we will be able to back track and know the actual year the decree was issued.

      I have posted like three times on that thread and I guess the blaze doesnt like what I have to say.

      In response to the council of Nicaea really doesnt effect salvation at all. What does effect salvation is belief in a god that doesnt exist or Jesus Christ that doesnt exist. You still wont show me where in the Bible it says “you can become a god” or that “God was a man”.

      No Mormon can show me these things since they dont exist in the Bible. You are not worshipping the Jesus Christ of the Bible or the God of the Bible. In all honesty you are belittling God with even thinking you can become like the God almighty.

      As far as the trinity goes I believe them to be one God three parts. But since I am a man, I dont want to presume anything. Once i get to Heaven I guess I will find out for sure. Question is, if you are right, I get to go to maybe the lowest teir of Heaven with all the Muslims, Hindu, Scientologist, and other faiths correct? In my faith you end up with the Muslims, Hindu, Scientologists and other faiths in Hell. Maybe its time to put the book of Mormon down, and read the one true book of God. THE BIBLE.

      In 1827 he married Emma Hale. He then went on to write the Book of Mormon and establish the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormon Church, in 1830. Later in 1833, Smith had a supposed revelation that commanded him to incorporate polygamy into Mormonism. Although historians debate the exact number of wives Smith had, it is obvious that he was engaged in “sexual union” with many women even without his wife’s consent. Most of his first dozen “wives” were legally married to other men, except for the 14 year old girl, at the time of their seduction.

      14 years old? If I remember correctly there was a story about another so called prophet and his young wife.

      Oh yeah Muhammad had a young wife also. Dont know about you, but when I can be compared to Muhammad I feel prophet like huh?

      Which version of the bible are you asking me to use? I only ask because I’ve already answered your questions several times and the one time you tried to rebut me you used a different version of the Bible than the King James Bible. I‘m presuming you used some sort of ’modern-day language’ interpretation of the bible because the verses were completely butchered… you even took away and added a few words to make it fit for you. You never replied when I corrected you.

      You’ve been given the answers you seek SO many times by SO many people, but you keep asking the same question. I just don‘t think you’re ready for the meat.

      1 Corinthians 3:2 -

      2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

      By the way, I don’t know why you think I need your approval to be a Christian… I think I‘ll stick with Christ’s approval as a member of His true and living church; The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

      Why is polygamy is ok in Heaven according to Mormons? Yes I understand you follow the laws of the land here, but Heaven its ok? What does your wife think of that? Also, if takes the sacred marriage on earth to get to the highest level, whos wives will you get? Is it just a big orgy? Do you share your wife? If so how does she feel about that?

      Lets see what the Mormon prophets thought of polygamy.

      Brigham Young
      “The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 11, p. 269, August 19, 1866)

      Monogamy, or restrictions by law to one wife, is no part of the economy of heaven among men. Such a system was commenced by the founders of the Roman empire. . . . Rome became the mistress of the world, and introduced this order of monogamy wherever her sway was acknowledged. Thus this monogamic order of marriage, so esteemed by modern Christians as a holy sacrament and divine institution, is nothing but a system established by a set of robbers. . . .

      Why do we believe in and practice polygamy? Because the Lord introduced it to his servants in a revelation given to Joseph Smith, and the Lord’s servants have always practiced it. “And is that religion popular in heaven?” It is the only popular religion there . . . (Deseret News, August 6, 1862)

      You can use any real Bible you like to show me that “you can become a god” or that “God was a man”.

      Unlike you I dont think the Bible is misinterpreted. The scripture you have pointed out dont have 1 nickles worth of difference. From the NIV. I linked the site for you in a previous post.

      As far as you answering, no you havent. If so please put them down clearly in this post.

      As far as you using 1 Corinthians 3:2 to belittle me, you are not the apostle Paul. It is not up to you to judge me to determine if I am ready for the answers. You keep posting it over and over again and it shows you have no answer for my two easy questions.

      You are correct, you can believe anything you like, I dont think I said one time you couldnt worship who ever you choose. All I have done is point out the fact you are worshipping a false god brought to you by the false prophet Joseph Smith.

      This isnt a attack on you, This is a rescue mission to save you from hell. As I said if you can show me in the real Bible which ever version you choose where it says “ God was a man just like us” and that “man can become a god” I will stand down. But until then I will continue to believe the Mormon Church is one of the churchs of Satan, meant on mislead and pull people away from the Jesus Christ and God of the Bible.

      @martinez012577 -

      You have proven yourself unworthy of a response once you began to say things about my wife and using terms such as “orgy”. I will ask you kindly to never speak that way again.

      However, I can’t help but wonder if you would speak such venom to biblical prophets such as Abraham, Moses, Jacob, etc. Did you even know that they were each polygamists? Please see, inter alia, Genesis 16:1–3; 29:23–30; 30:4, 9; Judges 8:30; 1 Samuel 1:1–2.

      You have lost control of yourself and spoke with anger. Here is some advise that will serve you well:

      James 1:19-20:
      19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
      20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

      Also please consider:

      Proverbs 25:15
      15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

      I caution you against speaking with such anger… “For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” If you worketh not the righteousness of God, then who are you serving? For a man can only serve one master

      Matthew 6:24
      24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

      If you so choose to continue speaking with such hatred and anger, you will have shown who your true master is.

      You havent answered the questions. You cannot answer the questions. You are going to take offense to a “orgy” comment? Your wife should take offense to the mulitple wives in Heaven problem your religion takes. Look I understand alot of what I post is hard to get your head around, but you know what? Its from your prophets.

      You claim I am angry, I beg to differ. I saw these things with love. I am worried for your salvation as I am concerned for one of my best friends who is a Mormon. Look he cannot answer the questions either. I dont fault you for not answering them because there is no way to show it in the Bible. Mainly because it isnt there. Using men as a example for anything should show your wrong ways. Last I checked they were all men, all humans are born in sin. The fact you tried to justifiy polygamy using men in the Bible 3000 years ago proves you arent against polygamy because of the law, not because its wrong and immoral to your God.

      Did Abraham, Jacob, or Moses have a 14 year old wife like Joseph Smith? Correct me if I am wrong since you didnt answer, polygamy is fine in Heaven according to the prophet Joseph Smith right? If so, your wife is ok with that? I mean honestly I hate to burst the little “orgy” fantasy you Mormons have but Jesus Christ of the Bible is pretty clear there wont be marriage in Heaven.

      Matthew 22:30

      30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven

If you seriously don’t remember the multiple scriptures I, and others, have given you to try to help you, then there might be something wrong. You have proven the purpose of the counsel found in the following passage:

      Matthew 7:6

      6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

      Martinez, seriously, take some time to calm down and pray. I’m sure you believe you are well intentioned; but you fail to see who you are truly serving when you speak with such anger and venom. The devil has many tools; one of his greatest is anger.

      I will not fall for your bait to become angry as well, for I serve Jesus Christ the author of love.

      Gents, it would appear that I‘m a little late to the ’party’. However, I’d like to cash in on some of the points made–kind of a tangent, perhaps.

      @P8riot–you’re absolutely right to be careful of newer modern-day translations. They certainly aren’t as true to the original texts (Greek, masoretic, Septuagental, etc, etc). In some cases, folks have taken liberties when making their translations–just look at ‘translations’ such as The Message (though to its credit, I believe it does state that it’s a paraphrase). At the same time, we can encounter a similar issue with the door swinging the other way. In this case, the KJV was translated from the Latin Vulgate rather than the original texts. While I‘ve not studied Latin and can’t attest to the integrity of the translation, at translation of a translation lends even more to the age-old phrase ‘lost in translation’. After studying the Greek, I’ve noticed a more literal translation is the NASB. Others that are a bit less so are the NRSV and the ESV.

      The intent of most of these newer translations are to ‘change’ things such that they make sense to people today. However, this is easily the exception, and not the rule. In some translations, inclusive language is used when there is no indicator or context for it.

      That‘s all I’ve got for now…

I do remember the scriptures you posted on the other thread. The problem is I answered them and showed you where they in no way proved you will become a god or that God was once a man.

      Psalm 82

      God is judge among men, he asks them why do they judge unjustly and accept the persons of the wicked. He is talking about men called gods because they judge. What gods “die like men”?

      1God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

      2HOW LONG WILL YE JUDEGE UNJUSTLY, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

      3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

      4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

      5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

      6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

      7BUT YE SHALL DIE LIKE MEN, and fall like one of the princes.

      8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

      @RAFADESIGN, I agree with you. We aren‘t going to see an honest politician run for office in the traditions of our founders and we aren’t going to see an Apocalypse this time next year.

      Nibiru, myth or fact?

      NASA scientists pointed to the possibility that a large planet orbits our sun on an ellipse like a comet. Their calculations show that its path leads back through the solar system in 2012. It also happens to coincide with a new age. We are currently in the age of aquarius, but next december we will not be.

    It’s funny how people quote verses from the bible to justify their opinion. I do belive in a high power something greater than us, but there is not one person that can tell you 100% what it is. Maybe The Mayan civilization new somthing. Take the Dogon, they have had extremely complex knowledge of astronomy for at least 700 years. The Dogon can tell you about planets and solar systems that exsist, that you can not even see with the naked eye. I know someone will respond, quote a bible verse, showing there lack of Intelect.

      I tend to agree with you SID. When I imagine that every living thing on this planet (or anywhere for that matter) is made up of chemical compounds that are self reproducing and regulating and that out of this arises human consciousness, I cannot help but believe that there is a God. However, I very seriously doubt that the Bible is the only truth or even a truth. Personally, I’ve seen enough to believe that the planet Nibiru may indeed be a reality. It is spoken of in many ancient texts spanning several continents and even NASA scientists hinted at its’ existence being a possibility. My only fear is that if it is real, our gov‘t and the govt’s of the world will shroud it from public knowledge due to the supposed fear and panic it would cause.

      Meanwhile, my area of the woods sees tornadoes, snow-ins, floods, and ice storms every few months, so I‘ll just go ahead and stock up because there will be an emergency when I’ll need my provisions at some point or another. And even if I don’t need it, someone else might.

    There is no “end of the world”… It will never happen. The only thing we have to fear is something along the lines of an Asteroid impact… When many religions say “The End of the World” they mean the end of the world as WE know it….

    Every time scholars of any field claim to know the future, they are WRONG…. (ie. Global Warming, and every other doomsday prophecy) and the Mayan’s are no different. And I don‘t buy into the Mayan’s being some advanced and wise race.. They were not advanced (they were really no further ahead of any other civilization at the time of their existence), and they weren’t very wise, since they were not able to prevent their culture for virtually disappearing. They only thing of merit they really left behind is some knowledge of astronomy, and this stupid prophecy that nearly everyone misunderstands.

    Will the world change in 2012??? Kinda.. I mean Obama’s failed joke of a presidency will be singing its deathsong, and the U.S. will finally be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe some more muslim uprisings (but really that’s not new)…

    I don’t ask that you religious people give up your faith, but I do ask that you weigh aspects of faith against some feakin common sense…. Since the future in NEVER set in stone, don’t spend so much time thinking about TOMORROW that you forget to live TODAY… At least that way, if by some chance the end is near, you can say you didn’t spend your life in fear, but in jo

      Not sure I get why you wanted me to watch this… Evolution is a FACT not a Fiction… I’m not saying CREATION is not possible, but it is Un-deniable fact that creatures DO EVOLVE… But since that is not the topic of this forum, I will not go into it… Just do a little research and you will find something referred to as “Variation, and Mutation” IE: Baleen Whale’s used to have legs, and now they have fins.. (there is skeletal evidence of this)..

      I will never say CREATION is not possible, because it is impossible to prove or disprove it… But EVOLUTION is scientific fact, and anyone that tries to argue it, is not only ignorant, but a fool.

    Although I don’t know his name, the antiChrist is alive and well in every generation. Satan awaits the time for him to unleash his pawn according to the times ordained by God.

      11. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, {This happened in 70 A.D. when the Roman General Titus destroyed Jerusalem and burned the Jewish Temple.} and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, {This happened in 691 A.D. when the Dome of the Rock, a Muslim shrine, was built on the Temple Mount.} there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. {The wise know that these “days” are years. So, 691 + 1,290 = 1981. What happened here on Earth in 1981? Not much that I know of. But my guess is that this is when Satan was cast out of Heaven. {Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. Revelation 12:12}
      12. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. {Ok, 691 + 1,335 = 2026. No one knows the day or the hour, but, it looks, to me, that this is the year of the Second Coming, when Jesus returns, not as the Lamb of God, but, as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. “Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Psalms 2:9.}
      13. But go thou way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
      Daniel 12:11-13
