According to the Mayan Calendar

the earth as we know it will be destroyed in December, 2012. The Bible however tells us otherwise:

"Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the sky, though the nations are terrified by them." Jeremiah 10:1-2

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" Matthew 24:36

The Word of God - the Bible - tells us that someday Jesus will return to earth and before His return momentous things will happen upon the earth. But, He is not coming to destroy the earth but according to His promise we are looking for a new heaven and a new earth - a place where righteousness will dwell.

We are not to fear, but be encouraged to live lives worthy of God and to be ready for that day.

We must understand that one day, the world for us will end - 2012, 2019, 2020, but it will end - and after that will come judgment as we stand before the Throne of God.

"Then I saw a Great White Throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence heaven and earth fled away... and I saw the dead great and small, standing before the throne, and the
book[s] were open; and another book was opened, the Book of Life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the book[s], according to their deeds. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds." Revelation 20-11-13

I have been judged, I have been found guilty and I was sentenced to death - BUT GOD...

"Do this; knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep, for now Salvation is nearer to us than when we believed." Romans 13:11

"Behold, God is my Salvation, I will trust and will not be afraid. For the LORD GOD is my strength and song, and He has become my Salvation." Isaiah 12:2
