2012: Who Will Be Left Behind?
Dresden Codex Picturing a Flood
Yesterday, I noticed that a poster for Sony Pictures’ 2012 movie stated the following:
Who Will Be Left Behind?
2012
This is apparently intended to be a twist on Tim LaHaye’s and Jim Jenkins’ Left Behind series of books. Sony’s approach appears to be that most will be destroyed by a flood and only a few will be “left behind” to live. The Left Behind series promotes the idea that “Christians” will be gone before the Great Tribulation and that those doomed to live under the reign of Antichrist will be “left behind”
Both ideas are in scriptural error.
Sony has taken its approach a step further. Notice what Wikipedia has written about one publicity stunt from Sony:
The studio also launched a viral marketing website operated by the fictional Institute for Human Continuity, where filmgoers could register for a lottery number to be part of a small population that would be rescued from the global destruction.
Sony Films’ registration, of course, will not save anybody.
Let me state here and now that despite a post-Columbian Mayan writing (in the Chilam Balam) and interpretations of the the Dresden Codex (a pre-Columbian Mayan document), the earth will NOT experience a world-wide flood of the level that Sony has suggested in December 2012 (specifically starting December 21, 2012; cf. Genesis 9:8-11).
Those interested in learning more about what the Bible and other writings teach on these subjects should study the following:
End of Mayan Calendar 2012–Might 2012 Mean Something? There is a Mayan calendar prediction for change in 2012. 2012 changes were also centuries ago predicted by the Hopi Native Americans (the Hindus may have some predictions for the next decade as well). Do these Mayan/Hindu/Hopi prophecies have any value? Why might Satan have inspired this date? Does the Dresden codex show destruction of the earth by flood? Can the great tribulation start before 2012?
Is There A Secret Rapture for the Church? When and Where is the Church Protected? What does the Bible really teach? Does the Church flee or is it taken up just prior to the great tribulation? Who really is left behind?
There is a Place of Safety for the Philadelphians. Why it May Be Petra This article discusses a biblical ‘place of safety’ and includes quotes from the Bible and Herbert W. Armstrong on this subject–thus, there is a biblically supported alternative to the rapture theory.
Some Doctrines of Antichrist Are there any doctrines taught outside the Churches of God which can be considered as doctrines of antichrist? This article suggests at least three. It also provides information on 666 and the identity of “the false prophet”. Plus it shows that several Catholic writers seem to warn about an ecumenical antipope that will support heresy.
Prophecies of Barack Obama? Are there biblical and non-biblical prophecies about Barack Obama. Did Nostradamus predict Barack Obama dealing with the Antichrist? This is the longest and most detailed of the articles here related to prophecy and Barack Obama–the man who should be USA President in 2012.
Can the Great Tribulation Begin in 2009, 2010, or 2011? Can the Great Tribulation begin today? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord?
