Australia’s Gillard vs. Certain Russians Regarding Mayan 2012 Date

Julia Gillard

The Prime Minister of Australia has jokingly told people that the world will end this month:

7 December 2012

Australia’s Prime Minister Julia Gillard has warned that predictions of the end of the world by ancient Mayans were correct and that the final days are coming — in a deadpan ad for a lighthearted breakfast radio show…She concluded her message by saying “Good luck to you all.” http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/12/06/15719214-australia-pm-julia-gillard-jokes-mayans-were-right-end-of-the-world-is-coming

While the world will not end this month, others are not so sure. Noticed the following regarding certain Russians that the UK’s Telegraph reported about:

Russian residents buy up tinned goods and matches ahead of apocalypse

Russian residents have been buying up cereals, tinned meat and boxes of matches in anticipation of the pending apocalypse.

7 December 2012 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/9729820/Russian-residents-buy-up-tinned-goods-and-matches-ahead-of-apocalypse.html

There are also others who also believe that the world will end on December 21/22, 2012. But it will not.

That, however, does not mean that people should not have any candles or canned goods. I currently live in ‘earthquake country’ and our area is susceptible to being without food, etc. possibly for a week or more if there was a big enough earthquake. Thus, I have no problem with some physical preparations.

Of course, the idea of surviving the ‘end of the world’ because one has lots of candles and canned foods is a bit far-fetched. If people really want to survive what will happen in the future, they need to take greater stock in their spiritual lives.

Although the Prime Minister of Australia is joking about the Mayans, the reality is that the end of the world as we know it is coming. While it will not be this month, Australia (as well as the USA, UK, Canada, and New Zealand) will come to its end. But this will not be for at least four years. Russia will come to its end as well, but not for about three and one-half years after Australia.
