  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Well, I do think that something HUGE is going to happen in that year, can't say for sure exactly what.

Interesting to note that Revelation 20:12 is all about judgment day. Anyone else think this has meaning or just a coincidence?

The London Olympics, they're pretty huge, and there'll be lots of judging going on. ;)

I'm pretty sure that in 2012 will be a judgement day for Barack Hussein Obama ...

... maybe, more than one.

The Great Tribulation will start with some unusual natural disasters (the sixth seal and the first 4 trumpets). And we need to understand that natural disaster most likely would happen one at a time with some recovering time interval in between. So, it might be something like one disaster takes place in 2011, another in 2012, the third in 2015, etc. An alarming fact is that at the current time, it seems that various conditions, natural and social, for many types of disasters to take place are all matured.

Until the Rapture takes place, we probably do not know what exactly is going on.

the fooled ones won't know...the sealed ones will

the rapture/gathering to Christ is AFTER those events...when Christ comes with the dead believers from heaven

That is very interesting! I believe there are definite connections in events shown in chapter and verse numbers with the Words. In this case though the [Rev.20:12] is the great white throne judgment....it doesn't happen until the end of the millennium. Unless you are a believer in us experiencing the millennium right now...it doesn't apply.

All I know is, Iran will have nuclear weapons by 2012 (and will not hesitate to use them on Israel). Iran's president is no doubt one of the demon-possed "kings of the East" who start the Battle of Ar Mageddon, which preceeds a glorious 1000 year reign of the Church. Rev. 20:12 is about the final judgement which takes place about 1002 years from now.

Rev 20:12 may be a word of prophecy. Could be anything from political as was mentioned to natural disasters, wars or a deadly combo should that verse be telling us to be prepared for that year.
I'm witha sister as I believe satan is kicking up a lot of dust almost as if he knows this year is signficant. Jmo

I have heard the year 2012 might be the end of the Jewish calendar. Also, I have heard that particular time might mean a demonic period.

Except for the fact that chapter and verse divisions in the NT didn't occur until centuries after the NT was written. In fact, NT Greek manuscripts don't even divide words. They are all strung together without breaks between them, a method of writing called scriptuo continua.

I have not heard this. The current Jewish year is 5771 since creation. This is based on calculations from a Medeival Jewish text called Seder Olam Rabbah.

Satan and the fallen angels might reveal themselves to the world as extra-terrestrial aliens (or ancient astronauts returned) in 2012. Declare themselves to be our true gods because they created us by combining their DNA with primates in the ancient past. A lie, of course. But that could be the "strong delusion" of 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. It would certainly fool most of the non-Christians.

Indeed it could but I see it as more devious than that. It is Christians he wishes to fool and we are a gullible lot. I am presently in debate on another forum with a poster who sees certain numbers as signs....as do I. But he, instead of searching for the meaning from our Father...listens to angelic beings, familiar spirits. Love everyone, peace, happiness and joy. All the while tossing the Bible as antiquated, obsolete...of the past.

He is, to put it in Glen Beck's words, one "spooky dude." As I said, a gullible Christian...or so he believes.

The lie could be alien/astronauts or...it could be them coming to rapture us away?

Maybe wont need to wait for 2012 for weirdness!

Winnipeg, MB (PRWEB) September 13, 2010”

“A newly-published 352-page book by a retired Air Force officer, Stanley A. Fulham, tentatively predicts October 13, 2010 as the date for a massive UFO display over the world’s principal cities. According to the author, the aliens will neither land nor communicate on that date; they are aware from eons of experience with other planets in similar conditions their sudden intervention would cause fear and panic.

The book, Challenges of Change (3rd ed.), reports this event will be the initial interaction in a process leading to mankind’s acceptance of the alien reality and technologies for the removal of poisonous gases from the earth’s atmosphere in 2015, if not sooner.

The author draws upon his military experience with the UFO phenomenon dating back to WW2, and later, with NORAD and his subsequent life-long association with a senior NORAD intelligence officer who provided him a wealth of historical data relating to NORAD’s experience with the UFO/alien reality which has never been revealed to the public. In the military's view, as conveyed to and understood by Fulham, the public is not yet ready to accept an alien reality.

Fulham writes it is generally recognized UFOs function beyond our earth's physical laws, and has concluded answers to questions regarding who they are, where are they from, why are they here, are they a threat, and the mystery of abductions could only be found at a higher dimension of reality.

For more than a decade, through the services of a world renowned channeler, the author has communicated with an ethereal group of entities known as the Transcendors -- 43,000 very old souls who combine their vast experience and knowledge through eons of incarnations, providing advice and information to humans in search of basic realities of mankind’s existence.”

Is is possible the world could see these space craft? I believe the answer is yes but they will not be space man but rather satanic forces that will deceive people all over this planet who has refused Jesus as their Lord. I believe this is where this part of Christ’s warning comes in. “For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.”


A very important part of the report tells us the author is a “renowned channeler” Channelers are part of the New Age Movement, and it has nothing to do with the truth, the Bible, or with Jesus Christ. The people who claim to be communicating with the dead or people from other worlds are under the influence of Satan and his deceptions.

I am concerned that many who claim to know Jesus Christ will fall for this delusion because they did not know the Word of God and they did not keep on the watch, nor were they looking for Jesus blessed appearing. I will say this again. Watch the news because you will hear more news about UFO’s and because we are in the birth pains these signs will get closer and closer together. Be on your guard, dress today with the Lord’s armour so you will not be hit by Satan's tricks or delusions.

Retired NORAD Officer's New Book Predicts a Tentative Worldwide UFO Display on October 13, 2010
