Nostradamus 2012

DID YOU KNOW...
Did you know that Nostradamus 2012 predictions only started coming to light AFTER talk of the world ending in 2012 and an ancient Mayan Calendar? Why did we not hear a clear interpretation of Nostradamus 2012 doomsday BEFORE all the doomsday talk?
Did you know too that the dates 21.12.12 or 12.21.12 are NOT found in Nostradamus writings?
Did you know that Nostradamus was believed to have predicted the earth would end by a comet strike in JULY 1999. Didn't happen!
Did you know that in a letter to his son, Nostradamus spoke of prophecies going as far into the future as 3786 (3797 according to some experts)? That's a long way past any connection between Nostradamus 2012 and the end of the world.

A lot of people are fascinated with what they believe are Nostradamus 2012 end of the world prophecies. However, not many look carefully enough into what he said to discover the truth about the so-called Nostradamus 2012 prophecies. The truth is that while he may have been a very clever man and respected by many, he was no prophet.
We invite you to check Nostradamus out for yourself in the article below. This will show you how impossible it is to connect Nostradamus 2012 and the end of the world. Once you understand his prophecies in general, you will understand the Nostradamus 2012 prophecies for what they really are - the veil will have been lifted.
To understand anything you read about Nostradamus 2012 predictions, you need to read this first. Once you have read this you will know the truth about Nostradamus and 2012.

2012 Bible Prophecy

One one occasion, Jesus followers asked him,
"Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"
This page has Jesus answer on 2012 Bible Prophecy.
Read it for yourself and see if the Bible says 2012 is the end of the world. Then check out this page SIGNS OF END TIMES and see how Bible prophecy is actually being fulfilled.

The End Of The World 2012 Bible Prophecy?
Recorded in Matthew 24(see if you can find 2012 in this prophecy from the Bible)

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying,
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation [race] shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noe [Noah] were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh.
Did you find any 2012 Bible prophecy? There is no 2012 Bible Prophecy! Jesus said "of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." There is however on place in the Bible where the numbers 2012 are aligned with a biblical prophecy. CLICK HERE to read more."

2012 Doomsday Predictions - including Mayan Calendar 2012

There are many 2012 end of the world predictions. We will just identify a few.
1. There are theories about ALIENS FROM OUTER SPACE - but is this December 21 2012 end of the world idea a result of too much time sitting in front of the box and not enough actual facts? And how did they come up with this 2012 doomsday prediction about an alien invasion when there is no widely accepted proof that aliens even exist! This unlike, the next theme, does not deserve any serious attention.
2. What about the biblical PROPHECIES OF ARMAGEDDON - we have already had two world wars, will the world end with the ultimate war between good and evil in the year 2012? Biblical prophecies have been right before. One example is the birth of Christ which fulfilled about 300 prophecies. Before Armageddon comes however (and December 21 2012 is not predicted in the Bible as "Armageddon Day"), biblical prophecies speak of a great time of GREAT TRIBULATION on the earth. Having said that, the Bible not only prophecies about a battle of Armageddon on earth but also increased earthquakes, floods, famine, disease, wars and rumours of wars.
There will be things happening in the heavens far beyond our control. These are not 2012 end of the world doomsday predictions. But the Bible does say God will use cosmic events as means of his judgement on earth before the final day of judgement. If there is a dooms day, that's it. But before that day, Revelation 16:21 speaks of catastrophic disasters like 50 kilo hailstones. Matthew 24:29 says, "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the SUN be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:" But while the Bible speaks of judgment on earth before the ultimate "day of judgement", it also speaks of hope and describes very clearly how to escape the coming wrath. This is not about escaping any 2012 end of the world doomsday prediction... but something more fearful!

3. Then there are stories surfacing about SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS along the lines of splitting the atom - will the earth be blown up by a mad scientist? Apparently there is an experiment on a very large scale planned for the year 2012. Could this bring about an end of the world 2012 doomsday? In a long very tunnel, particle physicists plan to collide electrons and positrons (the opposite of electrons). The tunnel may be up to 50km long and they will use energies of up to a trillion electron volts. This will hurl these particles at close to the speed of light. No one knows what will happen if antimatter is created. Could it destroy a delicate balance in the universe? Will December 21 2012 end of the world predictions be fulfilled through scientific a experiment? We don't think so.
4. On an ancient MAYAN CALENDAR 2012 is an IMPORTANT DATE The Mayan Calendar runs out on December 21 2012 and it has been suggested that they knew something we don't. This is the basis of what has been called the Mayan calendar 2012 Prophecy. However, just because an ancient Mayan calendar ends on December 21 2012 it does not mean that the world will end then too, especially as the Mayan's did not actually speak of a doomsday, much less a 2012 doomsday. True, on the Mayan Calendar 2012 was important and you can find out more about this by clicking the link below the next paragraph.

STRANGE MAYAN BELIEFS. While the Mayan's had some interesting beliefs and insights about life and the cosmos and while some of them reflect scientific observations today, there are other things you may not have heard of. For example, the Mayans also believed that our sun is a god powered by blood from human sacrifices - this and other beliefs were influenced by hallucinogenic drugs which were used, among other things for autosacrifices (yes, suicide). So be careful what you believe about Mayan calendars.

5. A very real possibility is DISEASE - we have seen how quickly it can spread and devastate human life on earth. And there has been talk of the threat of pandemics for several years now. Including the recent Swine Flu pandemic. But is it reasonable to say that the world will end this way on exactly December 21 2012 with an earth wide pandemic? No!
6. Will SOLAR FLARES bring about a December 21 2012 end of the world doomsday? Solar flares seem to come in cycles and NASA have said that the sun is due for a big one around 2012. How big and if it will really happen or bring about an end of the world 2012 doomsday are unknown. What we do know is that our life on earth is deeply affected by the activity of the sun. And as mentioned in the section above on Armageddon, the sun WILL play a role in end time biblical judgments on the earth. However, while solar flares and other solar activity may affect us more in 2012 than other years, no one can predict that solar activity will bring about the end of the world on December 21 2012 doomsday.

7. BIOLOGICAL WARFARE has been suggested as a means to earth's end. But again, how can one predict that a 2012 end of the world doomsday from this! Especially that biological weapons will end the world on exactly December 21 2012? The threat of biological warfare will always be here as long as we have insane and / or hateful world control freaks. However, biological warfare cannot be seriously considered as and end of the world 2012 doomsday prophecy, let alone the exact date of December 21 2012. This must be seen as scaremongering and not worthy of అత్తెన్తిఒన్
8. One prediction is of a GIANT METEOR OR ASTEROID. Meteors have struck the earth before. Could a giant meteor or comet bring about a 2012 end to the world doomsday? Some predict we are overdue for a strike and give 2012 as a possible date for a giant meteor strike on earth. The biggest threat NASA have identified is an asteroid named Apophis. However it is not coming on an end of the world December 21 2012 doomsday and is currently on a Level 0 on the Torino Scale. It will pass close in 2029 with a probability for impact on April 13, 2036 calculated at 1 in 45,000. Asteroid threats still remain. Worth thinking about is Bible prophecy about 50 kilo hail stones and stars falling the sky, but not in 2012. CLICK HERE for more on this.
9. Others believe that a PLANET X: NIBIRU, two thirds earth's size, will pass through our solar system around 2012 causing polar axis shifts on earth. A process, if it actually happens, that would apparently take up to 5,000 years! So, Nibiru or Planet X will not be bringing about a 2012 end of the world doomsday. And definitely not on December 21 2012. To find out why Nibiru actually doesn't actually exist, CLICK HERE (text version) or CLICK HERE to watch a video about Nibiru.
10. Planet X has also been linked to some VAGUE prophecies (or quatrains). Some say that for NOSTRADAMUS 2012 end of the world predictions are true. However, more than once Nostradamus predictions have been "tweaked" to fit with world catastrophes. Nostradamus was a clever man but was he also a prophet?

NINE 2012 PREDICTIONS

Is the world going to end in 2012 - December 21 2012?
IS IT TRUE?
CAN YOU BELIEVE THE DECEMBER 21 2012 DOOMSDAY PREDICTIONS?
END OF THE WORLD 2012!

HOW SERIOUSLY should you take the talk about an end of the world 2012 doomsday?
There are a number of December 21 2012 predictions about the end of the world, earth as we know it. Some say that on an ancient Mayan calendar 2012 points to the end of the world: they pick December 21 2012 as the exact day as that is when the calender ends. Others speak of a Nostradamus 2012 doomsday prediction.
Some 2012 end of the world predictions are connect to each other, some are not. It has got to the point where the thought of a 2012 end of the world doomsday is freaking some people out. Should you be freaked? We don't think so. For starters, given past doomsday predictions and prophecies about the end of the world, earth should have ended by now! Since the earth is still here, it would be fair to say then that, to date, all doomsday prophecies and predictions about the end of the world (before 2012) have failed!

However, a WORD of CAUTION. Just because the earth has survived various doomsday predictions so far, does not guarantee it will still be here in the year 2012, or tomorrow for that matter? Any known threat should be taken seriously. We are a vulnerable planet. The "Greenies" make some good points about the vulnerability of our ecosystem. While we do not believe any 2012 end of the world doomsday predictions will happen, we recognise that there are a lot of stupid, power hungry people who make the earth vulnerable to a doomsday. But not a 2012 end of the world doomsday!
It is a known fact that we have enough nuclear weapons (weapons of mass destruction) to destroy the world... many times over! And they say we're evolving!! Will the end of the world come on December 21 2012 because of this? All it would take is one lunatic to push the button! Result: end of the world by nuclear war. But is this really an end of the world 2012 doomsday prediction?

if you put these known facts aside and ignore them for a moment, is it really possible that some end of the world 2012 doomsday prediction or 2012 apocalypse could destroy the earth? The year 2012 is just about upon us. Now is a good time to ask if there are any 2012 end of the world predictions that you can actually believe?
One thing is for sure: past prophecies about the end of the world that do not come true are NO guarantee that other prophecies and predictions will not come true - but will something happen to bring about a 2012 end of the world doomsday for planet earth, on exactly December 21 2012? While we don't think so, its still not wrong to ask the question.
One end of the world 2012 prophecy (or what is sometimes presented as a prophecy) which is getting serious headlines right now concerns an ancient MAYAN CALENDAR which strangely ends on December 21 2012. Many 2012 end of the world predictions have been linked to this.

The Birth of a Star

As I write this, somewhere far away, a star is about to be born. It is out there in the Milky Way, pulsating, vibrant and pulling in matter from a surrounding envelope of gas and dust. It is emitting a thin ray of light, which many find strange.

Astronomers across the globe are waiting and watching what this new object which they are fondly calling L1448-IRS2E. Wonder what it has in store for us.
What makes L1448-IRS2E special? Astronomers have over the years studied the formation of stars. The phases through which L1448-IRS2E is evolving now will provide them more insight into the life and development cycle of a star.

Why is it in the news? Astronomers from Yale University, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany – found the object using the Submillimeter Array in Hawaii and the Spitzer Space Telescope. Their research was published in the latest issue of the Astrophysical Journal. And it has started off the buzz which normally surrounds the birth of a star. Read more about L1448-IRS2E.
So, that brings us to the question of how the stars are formed. You can read all about how a star is formed here and see this YouTube video to better understand this celestial phenomenon

Sri Kalahasti Temple "Raja Gopuram" collapses Video

Foundation Devastated Over Collapse of Sri Kalahasti Temple Tower

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEwnPAdYZx4

The Hindu American Foundation (HAF) reacted with shock at the May 26th collapse of a tower of the famous Sri Kalahasti temple near Tirupati in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. The temple, a place of great historical significance, was a revered place of worship for millions of Hindus. Leaders also extended condolences to the families of the victims of the devastating collapse.
Contrary to several media reports citing King Krishnadevaraya of the Vijayanagar empire as having built the temple, Krishnadevaraya built only the now collapsed tower in 1516 CE, bringing the temple to its current form. Evidence reveals the temple to have been constructed much earlier. Historical literary references to the temple are found in the works of Nakkeerar, a Tamil poet in 3rd Century BCE during the Tamil Sangam period, who called it the "Southern Kailash." And inscriptions in the temple, as well as the architecture, also indicate that the Chola, Pallava, Pandya and Vijayanagar dynasties had all contributed to the temple over the centuries. The temple had also been visited by a number of the prominent saints throughout Hindu history, including Sri Adi Shankaracharya and the four most well known among the Nayanars as well as the 63 Tamil Saivite saints who lived during the 3rd to 8th centuries CE.
"It is tragic that what would be considered a national monument in any other country was simply allowed to collapse in this manner as a result of the callous disregard of Andhra Pradesh State Government officials," said Padma Kuppa, a member of HAF's Executive Council and a native of the state of Andhra Pradesh. "That nothing was done about the cracks in the tower, which were first reported over a decade ago, at worst speaks to incompetence, and indeed corruption, of those responsible for preserving India's heritage." Most recent media reports indicate that the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, has promised to reconstruct the collapsed tower with the help of the Archeological Survey of India.
HAF leaders held that this latest tragedy highlighted again the unique challenges Hindus face in India as the only faith community whose places of worship are often under financial and management control by ostensibly secular state governments in India. Andhra Pradesh as well as many other state governments administer and manage most major Hindu temples in India today.
"It is ridiculous that governments, sometimes run by the Communist Party of India in states such as Kerala and West Bengal, arrogate unto themselves the right to manage temple affairs including the conduct of religious rituals," said Swaminathan Venkataraman, a member of HAF's Board of Directors. "The fact that only Hindu institutions are subject to such treatment while churches and mosques are not makes a mockery of Indian secularism."
HAF reported urgent pleas from its members over the last week calling for state governments in India to entrust Hindu temples to reputable and well-organized Hindu religious organizations, including the Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabha, to provide Hindus the same opportunities for autonomous management enjoyed by other faith traditions.
"Hindu Americans today would like to preserve historically significant sites, not only for their own pilgrimages (thirthas) to Hindu holy sites, but also for future generations," Venkataraman added.
The Hindu American Foundation is a 501(c)(3), non-profit, non-partisan organization promoting the Hindu and American ideals of understanding, tolerance and pluralism.

London 2012 may become ‘Crime Olympics’

London, Feb. 23 (ANI): British gangsters are planning to leave their mark on the London Olympics in 2012, and turning it into “Crime Olympics”.
Mobsters are reportedly looking forward to the 93 billion pounds event, and are already lining up a series of money making scams, the Daily Star reports.
The villains include fraudsters selling dodgy merchandise, counterfeiters flogging fake tickets and cyber crooks using fake websites to solicit cash and steal identities.
Other schemers could include are people traffickers hoping to infiltrate the 50,000-strong Olympic workforce using illegal labourers, and protection racketeers who may target construction firms and possibly even the athletes themselves.
Security agencies have already shut down a number of bogus websites that have been conning people in search of work, tickets or souvenirs.
The fear of criminalizing the event has prompted a 600 million pound security arrangement to safeguard the biggest sporting event to hit UK shores.
Britain’s version of the FBI, the Serious Organised Crime Agency, has warned criminals from trying to cause threat to the Games.
The agency states: “The Olympic and Paralympic Games will present serious organised criminals with many opportunities.
“Fraud, organised immigration crimes, intellectual property crimes and money-laundering are likely to be the main threats beginning now and extending through the period of the Games and beyond,” it further states.
The agency has also warned that extortion gangs may target construction firms working on stadia and the Olympic village.
The agency stated: “The movements of increased numbers of people into and out of the UK will provide smugglers with cover for their activities, while visitors to the games are likely targets for organised fraud.” (ANI)
