I think that this recent "obsession," if you will, with all things 2012 and alien and apocalyptic is a sense, seemingly felt by the whole world, that SOMETHING is coming. Maybe this is an unconscious response by the world --they don't know why, but they know that SOMETHING is fast approaching, and it feels like the end of the world. This suggests to me that perhaps the spiritual chess pieces are being placed for the End of Days, the game is being prepared, and the whole world is sensing that SOMETHING is afoot. The warfare is being prepared in the invisible spiritual realm, some skirmishes are already occurring (as we can see evidenced in today's events), and because we cannot fully see into the spiritual, we can only feel its effects in the "natural." As Christians, we know what the SOMETHING is, but the rest of the world as a whole only senses it in a vague way.
As Shakespeare said in "Macbeth,"
"Something wicked this way comes."

"The warfare is being prepared in the invisible spiritual realm,"
And you know this because:
There is a lot of wicked already here and most of it goes under the guise of religion.
Does anyone want to go into business with me? I am going to start selling these people Rapture Insurance. In exchange for their premiums we promise to take take care of any unsaved children and pets after the Rapture...

Or maybe somebody started the whole 2012 thing to make money, and fear is easier to spread than fear so it turned into a wildfire.
"...seemingly felt by the whole world..."
No, only by gullible idiots. A select few will make a pile of money, gullible fools will buy a lot of worthless books and watch a ridiculous amount of content-less tv and we'll all be celebrating the 1st of January, 2013. Time you grew up.
"Something wicked this way comes."
Or, in the case of Rapture Ready, something incredibly stupid and childish this way comes.
No, it's because every so often lots of nutcases like to believe that the end of the world is near. Just like Y2K, Planet X'ers (Nbiru), and now 2012 just happens to be the doomsday scenario du jour. Of course, being Rapture Retards you always think the end is near.
Let me say this, once and for all:
Nothing will happen in 2012!
It's just crazy nonsense coming from delusional and mentally insane people.
Ah yes the 2012, Mayan end-of-the-world bit. You want to know the real reason why the Mayan calendar is set to end on Dec 21, 2012? it's the same reason why the calendars we use today end on Dec 31, its the end....of that calendar! The armageddon stuff is western beliefs (mostly Christian)being shoe-horned onto the ideas of a whole other culture.
I do not personally know anyone who wonders if the 2012 predictions are true, much less believes that they are. Every adult I know has either not heard of them or regards them as a bizarre joke.
The only people who seem to be in any doubt are children under 16, mostly under 14 and a ranter who seems to have conflated the 2012 nonsense with the very stuff that Rapture Ready is all about.
They wonder about it precisely because of your insistence, year after year on the rapture / tribulation / second coming / end times.
The endless unfullfilled "prophecies" of the end times from everyone from farmer Miller in NY state in the 1830s through the Watchtower Society, Billy Graham and various televangelists have soaked into the pre-rational consciousness of millions of school children.
The superstitions that YOU and your co-religionists have spread are now exploited by dozens of fakes and frauds selling everything from cheap DVDs to disaster shelters on the basis of a mistaken interpretation of an ancient count of days.
Right, it's not like has ever happened before in history all the time and been wrong...they must "sense" something!
(Get back to me in 2013. You won't even be embarrassed, they never are.)
Plenty of things will happen in 2012. Among them:
The world, however, will not end. Though Mrs. Jeffries will not be happy about her husband's remark, and, considering how she gets when she's mad, he might well wish the world had ended.
[1] Oh, okay, for the R-R-ites reading this: B. HUSSEIN!!!!!!!zomg!He'sAMuslim111!!!!one!!11! 0bama.
Only Christians know what that the SOMETHING is, and yet the civilization that established the 2012 doomsday idea were evil pagans with no clue who Jesus or Yahweh were. Funny how that works, isn't it?
Really? Because the only people I see that are going nuts over 2012 are idiots that gleam onto all sorts of end of the world scenario's.
After 2012 goes by, people will gleam onto 2033 (EXACTLY 2000 YEARS AFTER JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED OMG!!11!1). Then Newton predicted the end of the world as 2060, and we all know how smart he was.
I'm sure there will be other dates inbetween, but those are the two major ones that come to mind.
"I think that this recent "obsession," if you will, with all things 2012 and alien and apocalyptic is a sense, seemingly felt by the whole world, that SOMETHING is coming."
Except for we reasoning, thinking, rational types, who know the 2012 year, relative to the Mayan Long Count calendar, refers only to the 13th Baktun , or 'Age'. Thus:
"As Christians, we know what the SOMETHING is, but the rest of the world as a whole only senses it in a vague way."
Boy, are you going to look a complete tit when, one nanosecond after December 31st 2012, nothing happens. Two Words: Y2K Bug.
"this recent "obsession," if you will, with all things 2012 and all things alien"
...so sayeth Musician up His arse, who has as an avatar the previous Doctor (David Tennant). Sooooo... you're NOT gonna be torrenting the latest series of "Doctor Who" then, seing as it 'obsesses' about the Gallifreyan Time Lord in 2013 (to say nothing of torrenting as a whole; it being illegal and all).
The first episode starts tomorrow. But then, you're not 'obsessive' enough to WANTto know that, are you...?! [/hypocrisy]
Well, either the myans got it 2 years out, or the rapture has to wait for ANOTHER eternity.
It's not coming, get over it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
