What do you think about the Mayan calendar and its prediction for something very disastrous happening to the earth in 2012?

A. Quite frankly, I don’t spend much time being concerned with what the Mayans thought or their calendar, and here’s why. First, they were pagans and didn’t know God so their predictions were not being inspired by the Holy Spirit. Secondly, true prophecy is found in the Jewish prophets found in our Bibles. People need to be studying the Scriptures, not what some ancient people said who didn’t know the Lord. There is nothing in the Bible that specifically points to 2012 and we already know that date setting just isn’t God’s style. He gives signs along the way, and confirms His word, but He didn’t reveal anything through the Mayans and so I would discount their prediction, which is nothing but astrology anyway and we know we are not to listen to pagan prognosticators. But some might say that other pagan predictions came true in the past, or bring up Nostradamus or someone. To that I say this, they have to be correct 100% of the time to be considered from God, and they weren’t. A broken clock is right twice a day, too, but that doesn’t mean it works.
