The world today and the media are focused on the end of the world and doomsday prophecies of old. Latest Bible prophecy news has been centered on the Mayans and their end of the world predictions. The Mayans date back a few thousand centuries and many studies have been researched and theorized pertaining to their predictions.
They were star gazers in all sense of the word and proficient astronomers who mapped out the heavens and used their own means of calculations in order to predict future events such as when they could expect climate changes and good harvests. It has been said that they built temples to their Gods and sacrificed human beings to attain appeasement. Their landmarks provide proof of their existence and word of mouth accounts passed on by their descendants testify to their existence.
On the other hand, destruction in recorded history is not unfamiliar to human kind. In recorded time, there have been many incidences of natural disasters that have decimated entire communities. We do not have to look too far back in our own times as to the possibilities of world wide destruction by forces unknown. Tsunamis over the last few years have wreaked havoc with tens of thousands dying under the destructive force of these tidal waves.
For the people of these countries that were affected, biblical prophecies may not conjure up fears that the world may end at some point in the near future. For them, this has already happened and with devastating effects. Mount Vesuvius which erupted in 79 AD must have had everlasting affects on the Romans of the time when two of their cities, Pompeii and Herculaneum were destroyed by this volcano.
On the other hand, many ask themselves whether anything has changed really and whether doomsday prophecies are merely more of a trend and fashion of our times. Perhaps, they offer a psychological detraction of the mind in facing reality as we understand it today. By merely turning on a television set or searching through the Internet it is no wonder that people are focused on prophecies such as these.
The human condition is said by many to be a complex one. The desire for the world to end seems a misplaced one as the design of a human being is geared for survival against all costs. It is said that it was and still may be a test in the making and perhaps the date of destruction of the world as we know it may have not been as specific as it was foretold.
This fits well with religious teachings and enthusiasts that the end of the world is a very probable event. Perhaps it will be the final judging act of an angry God against corrupt man. Events such as these have been alluded to in books of old such as the Bible and prophesied by prophets of an ancient world and even by speculative prophets of the modern age.
Apart from this, prophecies of old foretold were realized not long after their recording. So, the answers seem to still elude modern man as to whether these predictions carry any weight. Latest Bible prophecy news still has readers coming back for more, for reasons to believe, reasons to re theorize or merely to theologize.
