And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark the sacred times, an the days, and years, . .” Genesis 1:14
Doomsday predictions overturned? While
I do not ascribe to astrological predictions, even those of ancient
civilizations, I did take notice of the 2012 Mayan predictions. I did
not do so because of them, but because I felt 2012 marked a
significant new season for the world. I saw 2012 as the beginning of
a new age and 2013 even more so. It seemed appropriate that a people
group dedicated to times and seasons would also make note of a
seasonal change, a change of one era to the next.
Most of the time historians do not
recognize eras until after they have come and gone. Then terms are
ascribed to them such as The Middle Ages, or The Enlightenment era.
But with 2012, we have a preformed concept that the world has entered
something altogether different, even though we have yet to have the
benefit of history to validate the foresight.
Now, the latest news has it that archaeologists have uncovered a previously hidden Mayan calendar that
calculates dates as far out as 3500A.D. I had already felt that the
Mayan prediction was for the world to take notice, and now to find
new data after the world is already deeply engaged in this mystery is
extremely timely. Now we see, from the Mayans' themselves, doomsday
was not their prediction, but a something so new they gave clear
demarcation of it.
It is too soon to know, but I wonder if
there is anything on this newly discovered ancient calendar to
indicate a difference between the calendar that ended at 2012 and
this one that continues beyond. If they truly were specialist in
times and season, I would not be surprised, and yet amazed, to find
that there are distinctions between the calendars.
We are in a new age. Many things are
changing. Many things are coming into what they have long been built
into. Meaning, things that were built on a solid foundation will
begin to excel like never before and the things that were built in
corruption will begin to be obviously corrupted either by crumbling
or by persisting in visible corruption. It won't be life as usual.
