2012 and the Bible: Part 1
Director Roland Emmerich’s new film 2012 is a visual feast, with half the movie being CGI effects. The plot is based upon the now well known fact that the Mayan calendar infamously ends on December 21, 2012. Since the calendar ends in a little over three years, doomsayers are once again predicting the end of mankind. Funny thing is, we have been here before, many times. (Has it really been that long since Y2K?).
Emmerich’s film stars Amanda Peet and John Cusack. The couple is in a race against time to unravel a government secret that will allow them to survive the cataclysmic end of the earth as we know it. With fellow survivors they battle tsunamis, tidal waves, earthquakes and fireballs from the sky. While countless people are dying in disaster after disaster, the focus of the movie is on this small group trying to make it through 2012 alive.
While I enjoyed the film for its entertainment value, it does bring to light a number of interesting questions. It also ignites many discussions that once again focus upon people’s obsession with the destruction of the earth, something many claim to find in ancient scriptures, including the Bible.
Quick quiz, what do 1945, 1948, 1953, 1960, 1977, 1981, 1984, 1988, 1994 and the year 2000 all have in common? These are just but a few of the predicted dates of the end of the world. In fact, in the past 2000 years there is rarely a year someone didn’t predict as the end of the world. For fundamentalists, this end includes the reign of the antichrist and the return of Jesus.
Sadly, most don’t take sixteenth century theologian John Calvin’s words to heart when he said, “It is foolish to attempt to determine the time [of the End] by calculation from prophecy.” More baffling is why believers ignore Jesus’ words again and again, “No one knows the day or the hour” (Mark 13:32). More than that, the bigger question is “the day or the hour” of what. When we study further what he said, it becomes clearer the “what” here is not the end of the world but the end of Jerusalem and its Temple priesthood in 70 AD.
Death has always been at the forefront of humanity’s thinking. We all face it, even when we pretend it won’t happen to us, or to our heroes. When an icon falls, we stop and we take notice. They seemed untouchable, almost inhuman. But given enough time all will face the very human fact of life coming to an end on this earth. For many the question of “What next?” leads them on a desperate search for answers.
Others simply ignore the inevitable and busy themselves with life. For the writers of the New Testament, death was neither feared nor embraced. It was a transition that was necessary, considered no more threatening than a bee sting. With this boldness the writers of the New Testament gave comfort to those who were facing daily threats to their lives. One book in particular spoke to this fact, and it is the most misused book in the Bible today, Revelation.
It seems that the book of Revelation has always held a particular fascination with the people. Its imagery and symbolism are both frightening and mysterious. We are intrigued by the terror that is described in the book; while at the same time we are comforted by the picture of the end of death and disease the apostle John describes. The pictures of angels worshipping around the throne of God inspire awe, while the bloodshed and tears invoke anxiety. For some the picture is too intense and they take comfort in every teaching that claims to know when the events John describes will transpire. Of course, who wouldn’t want to know when the world was coming to an end?
But what if the some of the most popular beliefs in today’s church about the end times were wrong? What if what the average American Christian believed the Bible taught about Armageddon, the Tribulation, the anti-Christ was wrong? And if we are wrong, how did we get duped?
The truth is the book was not about the end of the world, it was about the end of a world. It was about the end of a world that was separated from God but that had been reconciled on a cross. It was about the end of a world that had been haunted by death being replaced by an everlasting kingdom where all were invited to join. It was a book that let people know that death was not superior to life, and that death was not the end but the beginning. And in a time of turmoil and war, it was a book that taught people that trials and challenges in this life were not without a purpose.
Once we understand all of that, we will realize the end of the world was never Jesus’ focus. The end he spoke about was much greater than that. So let’s spend some time pealing back the layers and catching a glimpse inside the true end of all things, and may you find there not fear, but a truth that sets you free.

We who populate this planet have been on a continual quest to understand the future by studying the past. There have been significant events in Earths history that seem to point to a definite and well-defined outcome in the future…..well-defined maybe to those who can “see” future Predictions. For the rest of us who lack End Of The World Prophecy vision, there are numerous sources of information to help us understand (and hopefully avoid the dangers of) End Of The World Predictions of worldwide catastrophe.
