World End


World End

Predictions of the coming of the end of the world have been common ever since human beings began to wonder what made the world and what might cause its end. Various religions have predicted the end of the world and have, so far, been wrong.

About World End

When will the world end? How will the world end? Will I see signs that tell me the end is near? What is going to happen to us when the world ends? These are only a few questions that people have been asking for centuries. The truth is, no one knows how to answer them.

Many people believe that the world will come to an end in December of 2012. This date marks the end of the Mayan calendar. This date is also tied to an astrological event that is predicted to occur on this date. The predictions show that the path of the sun will cross with the center of the Milky Way. It is believed that this will cause a pole shift.

Many religions also have their own theories as to the coming of the end. Christians believe that the Apocalypse is nearing when certain signs begin appearing in our world. These signs are war, greed, religious deception, natural disasters and false prophets. Most other religions have written of similar signs and a prophet, god or other spiritual leader appearing at the end of times.

Another prediction of the end of times comes from Nostradamus. Mysteriously, Nostradamus has predictions for many dates, until the year 3797. There are no further predictions after this date. This has been interpreted to be a prediction of the last days of mankind and the earth as we know it.
