"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." ( math 24:42-44)

2012 hardly seems to be the hour in which Christ reveals himself to the masses for the very fact that it is so well known. So what can we expect from this universal alignment which the mayan calendar seems to point to as the end of an age? The prophetic views of Nostradamus, St Malichi, Edgar Cayce, The Hopi Indians, The Mayans, The Bible and many others all seem to see a great change in our society. Lets take a look at the Mayan views and see what they are trying to tell us.

The mayans had an unusual game which included beheading the winners of the game. This game was the center of their religous cerimonies and the very reason that the spanish invaders destroyed their culture. The games significance in the culture was obvious as the city of the chictzen Itza had 22 courts and each court was the size of a modern football field. The game consisted of six steps, three players and two rather small hoops that were twenty three feet off the ground. The object was to ascend the six steps and knock the ball into the hoop without using their hands, a feat which in its self would challenge any of today's athletes. If the two defenders won the game they would present their heads to the loser who would decapitate them and release them to the heavenly realm which was a great honor while the loser woud go to be sacrificed to the sun god and likewise if the single player won he would gain the glory spot while the other two were sacrificed. other variations of the game were present in their culture but this was the 'big game'.

So what does this mayan religous cerimony have to do with 2012? The religious nature behind this event was based on the astrologic events of the heavens. The mayans believed that their were seven ages as described by their calendar and at the end of the sixth age man would be reunited with God. December 21st 2012 begins the 6th age. The four ages are depicted with four squares within the circle which represent fire, earth, air and water. Each age was said to end by a cataclismic event which corresponded
