There has been much talk during the past few years about the year 2012 and what it might hold for us. In essence the documentaries, books, and even a movie attempt to show us what could happen when the world comes to an end. But there is one thing I personally do not believe about the hype over the year 2012. I specifically do not believe that the date December 21, 2012 will be when the world ends. The Bible is explicit in the fact that no one will know the exact date when the world will end.
In his book Apocalypse 2012: The Ticking of the End Time Clock, Mr. John Claeys makes a solid case in why we are heading towards the end times. Claeys uses Bible quotes to back up his claims that we are entering a period of time that suggests that the end is nearer than we may think. For those who have read the book of Revelations and came away confused, Mr. Claeys explains simply what Revelations states through prophesy, and explains what the word of God means.
Mr. Claeys also gives the reader a direction in understanding the word of God and what will happen in the future. I do not want to give away any of what he presents, except for one small fact he presents. In his explanation of the Anti-Christ, Mr. Claeys shows the reader through maps and prophesy that this person, the Anti-Christ will come from Iraq. As with any explanation of what the Bible says, this is his opinion, but one that he backs up with facts.
Mr. Claeys takes the reader on a journey where good and evil forces collide, not only here on earth, but also in heaven. Mr. Claveys on his web site also presents this information:
- The Bible predicts an end-time rebuilding of the Jewish Temple, but did you realize that Jewish groups in Israel have already prepared for it?
- The Bible indicates that just before God pours out judgment to end the world as we know it, world leaders will proclaim “peace and security”; but did you know that within the last year, the phrase “peace and security” has been used repeatedly and in an unprecedented fashion by President Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, leaders at the U.N., and a number of other world leaders?
- The world has been focused on achieving a Middle East peace treaty involving Israel; but did you know the Bible predicts that the end of the world as we know it will arrive shortly after a treaty with Israel goes into effect?
- Did you know that by removing Saddam Hussein, the U.S. set the environment to fulfill an end times prediction of the Bible of a man rising in power from Iraq to rule the world just before the end of the world as we know it?
I would highly recommend that you read this book to get a better understanding on what the end of times really is and why it is important for you to prepare for it. This will be one event that none of us will be able to escape.
