Thats the date that the Mayan calendar comes to an end.

Funny thing, I have been thinking about the end times as well.

Get a load of these facts from the Bible and some conclusions that I have put with them:

2 Peter 3:8
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
KJV

John 2:19
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
KJV

Based on the two verses above: Christ was crucified two thousand years ago, add to that the day of the Lord, another thousand years and that equals three of the Lord's days. Since we will all go through the Millennium (the day of the Lord) we can add that to the two thousand already past and we have the three days.

Mark 13:28-31
28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
KJV

OK, the Fig Tree, being the Nation of Israel was planted in 1948. Those born in 1948 are "the generation of the fig tree", I missed it by less than a year.

That being said, the end of this world age will happen before theis generation of the fig tree passes away.

Interesting side note: after the generation of the fig tree (baby boomers) came generation X. Funny that the letter X is often used as a replacement for Christ. In this generation the Antichrist will appear. In the Greek, Antichrist is "Instead of Christ". see proof below.

Antichrist: NT:500
antichristos (an-tee'-khris-tos); from NT:473 and NT:5547; an opponent of the Messiah:
KJV - antichrist.

NT:473
anti (an-tee'); a primary particle; opposite, i.e. instead or because of (rarely in addition to):
KJV - for, in the room of. Often used in composition to denote contrast, requital, substitution, correspondence, etc.

NT:5547
Christos (khris-tos'); from NT:5548; anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus:
KJV - Christ.

Satan has always wanted to be God, he wanted to sit on the seat of Christ. Satan was "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" in the garden of eden. Everything is unfolding. It is incredible.

Also, looking at the world, prophecy is unfolding day by day:

Matthew 24:7-8
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.
KJV

I guess we have all that talk about "global warming" which is supposed to be causing more storms then we have ever seen before, tidal waves in Asia, earthquakes in the Middle East and South America. Forest fires all over the nation.

I won't even get too deep into pestilences but have you heard of covering Aftica with nets? Aids... West Nile virus... the list goes on and on.

But don't get all shook up, the usually taught meaning of the events in the book of Revelation are incorrect. Almost every event described in the New Testament is a description of something spiritual, not actual even though the spiritual impact can be far greater than that of the physical.
