Predictions for 2012
The predictions about the world ending in 2012 started off with a book written by Adrian Gilbert in 1996. It explained that the Mayan calendar came to an end on December 21, 2012. The reason he reached that conclusion was because that was the point at which the Mayan calendar ended. According to those of a more academic bent, the reason the Mayan calendar stopped rather abruptly at that point was because the Mayans were conquered by the Spanish. Still, the idea that the world was going to end in 2012 caught on and, very soon, there were a lot of predictions for 2012. This article sums up the many different predictions for 2012.

Plunging Meteorite Kills Off the Earth in 2012
This prophesy or prediction for 2012 is told by both the Mayan texts and the Kolbrin bible. If you haven’t heard of the Kolbrin bible, don’t worry. It appeared rather mysteriously in 1992 with someone claiming that it had been protected by the Hope Trust for 850 years.

According to those who believe that the Mayans didn’t continue to write their calendar after December, 21st, 2012, that is the day the world will end. That is the day a giant sun spot will wipe out the world.

Astrology Predictions for 2012
There are a number of astrological predictions for 2012. According to some, Obama will win 2012. Then, a date of particular importance is June 24th 2012. Apparently, the last time there was a configuration similar to this in the heavens, it was the 30s, and Hitler and Stalin rose to prominence. With Saturn in Scorpio, another Great Depression is expected.

Predictions for 2012: Aliens Landing on Earth.
There are many different organizations, institutes, cults, and religious groups that have predictions for 2012 saying that the aliens will be landing. According to one news source, SETI has indicated that three large space ships are headed towards earth and will land on earth in 2012. It is highly unlikely that SETI made this prediction for 2012 but according to one website, it did.

There also seems to be a nation of aliens called Nibiru and they have a Nibiruan Council. These aliens apparently created human beings and they aren’t too happy with how humans turned out. However, depending on which group you believe, some of these aliens will heal everybody and show show people how to live, while others will wage all out war on planet earth.

Someone by the name of David Wilcox believes that alien ships will harvest the world of good souls in 2012 leaving the bad behind to have a thoroughly miserable time.

Social Networking Predictions for 2012

Facebook will reach 1 billion users; Google Plus won’t catch up; and early adopters of social networking will grow weary of the web. The greater the dominance of advertising in social networking, the greater the outcry will be with regard to privacy. Privacy in social networking becomes a very big issue. It becomes even more so closer to the election.

Messiahs Return and the Final Battles Between Good and Evil
According to the Kabbalah, Jesus will be returning in 2012. Tibetan Buddhists (Shambala) predict a great battle between good and evil in another dimension. So people on earth will miss it. Hindus believe that Bhagwan Kalki will return in 2012, and that all evil will be swept from the world.


Conspiracy Theories: Predictions for 2012

Edgar Case and Nostradamus Predictions for 2012
Both have works that have been repeatedly reinterpreted by those who are determined to find a time and place for the end of the world. Actually, Edgar Case predicted the end of the world in 1998 when the poles were supposed to shift and the world was supposed to topple over backwards. As this didn’t happen, we had better focus on Nostradamus and his predictions for 2012. Although many of Nostradumus’ prophesies have been predicted to be on various dates, those days have come and gone, and the latest Nostradamus prophesies are his (apparently) predictions for 2012. He suggests an enormous asteroid crashing into the earth and annihilating everybody on earth. There is also some suggestion in his work that the anti-christ will arrive in 2012.

Time Magazine Predictions for 2012
Time magazine has also made some predictions for 2012. They say that the Texas Rangers will win the world series and Tiger Wood will make a come back. Windows 8 will be launched and more people will be streaming TV from their Internet.


Ridiculous? Predictions for 2012

Why All the Predictions for 2012?

Billions of people the world over seem to want to know when the world is going to end. There is a very simple reason why it's not possible to know what the future will bring. That's because the future isn't planned. The future happens as a consequences of the deeds we do today combined with the millions and billions of deeds done by forces of nature, other animals, and other human beings. However, that said, it is highly unlikely that anything out of the norm will happen in 2012 or any other year. On the off chance that I am wrong, I will be checking these predictions for 2012 when I write my predictions for 2013.

Hi, I think I like the idea of Seti suddenly coming out with the fact that we are being surrounded by Alien ships! lol! can you imagine? I think each person who has prophecised something over the centuries are just people who can read other older ones! lol! interesting though, thanks!

I think our lives individually will not end one millisecond before or after they are meant to,likewise for the planet,humanity, the universe,or anything else, it is not for us to know.

Well, girls, we certainly have a lot of predictions for 2012 to choose from. I'm betting it's going to be a very difficult year economically for some of us and others are absolutely going to flourish. And I bet I'm absolutely right!!!! :)

I got rather involved at one time in reading various aspects of ESP etc.It was interesting for a time but eventually it got rather frustrating to know which were legit.

Daho, I have no idea! I do find it fascinating that there are so many of these, and nobody seems to mind that they all contradict each other and none of them come true! :)

Well, saying the "world will come to an end" is a misalignment of terms. WE may well come to an end, but even if a huge body hits the world, it is unlikely to destroy it completely. This is mankind's collective and narcissistic ego at work, confusing the world and all the other creatures as actually meaning mankind.

I have little doubt our tenure on the planet won't last much longer, at least, not in the form it is now. We need not worry unduly about increasing our population any more, as we have about reached the limits where natural disasters, along with man's normal bad behaviour (wars, etc) will do the culling for us. We have long exceeded the number who could live comfortably here (about 2 billion or so). Now we have China, India, Brazil and others becoming greedy consumers, like the Americans and British, etc. It's no use saying it is all the fault of North America taking far more than their share. It's hardwired in life forms to get what they can in the ceaseless struggle called evolution.

Our only hope is to find another home "out there." But the warring tribes can't seem to get it together long enough to collectively address the issue.

Interesting to read all the "guessestimates" for our future. When I read the title, I was hoping to read YOUR predictions Sophia! Bob

Bob, I think we'll kill our own species within the next 50 to 100 years, taking quite a few with us. I wrote about that here...
