2012 polar reversal - NASA on board

The article doesnt say earths poles will flip in 2012. It says the sun's will, but this is nothing new or unusual. According to this NASA article, the last one happened in 2001 and nothing significant here happened.

This isnt the first time I've seen this topic in here. Here is another NASA link with some questions and answers on magnetism and pole flipping. It's too large for me to post here, so just go check it out.

Has anyone considered the 2012 polar reversal in end time events? I did a search on it today and NASA is agreeing that this will take place.

Flapdoodle. The article says that the sun's poles have just flipped, as they do about every 11 years. Nothing at all about a 2012 flip, or about the earth field flipping at all.

Here is an extract from an article from gracethrufaith. I cannot give a link but if you go to the site and type magnetic polar reversal in search you will be taken to the full stoty.

When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. (Rev. 6:12-14)



As you would expect, since the Tsunami of 2004 scientists have been watching the recent spate of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the Far East very closely. They've found that during the three year period ending in 2005 when the study was conducted, the incidence of underwater quakes and volcanic eruptions had increased by 88% over the norm while continental earthquakes had gone up by 62%. In a single four month period the earth experienced the largest three earthquakes in the last two hundred years. Most of this increased activity came in the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, a chain of 160 active volcanoes stretching from the East Asia rim to the West Coast of the Americas.



During the same time the magnetic North pole has begun drifting across Canada and is headed for Siberia. Also, the strength of the Earth's magnetic field has weakened noticeably, being about 10% weaker now than when scientists began measuring it in 1845. Based on these findings, some scientists are now convinced that a reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles is underway. They're predicting that in 2012 this reversal will be suddenly and dramatically completed with the North pole having the polarity of the South pole and vice versa.



In 2012 the Sun will also experience a polar reversal. Although the Sun's magnetic poles reverse every eleven years, the Earth has never experienced one in the memory of man. This double shift could produce even greater occurrences of massive quakes and volcanic eruptions of a magnitude that could actually cause a significant continental shift.



The Earth's magnetic field helps protect us against harmful rays from the sun, and a polar reversal could cause this field to collapse just like the water vapor canopy around the earth collapsed at the time of the Great Flood. That event brought violent weather and drastically shortened life spans.



The effects of a magnetic field collapse would be even more severe. According to some projections, the electromagnetic energy released from the sun during a polar reversal could cause Earth's upper atmosphere to "erupt in flames" if our magnetic field isn't there to deflect it. Was John referring to this in saying the sky vanished like a scroll being rolled up? No one knows. We can only imagine what a sudden reversal of magnetic poles would do to life on Earth. Predictions range all the way from a temporary increase in the frequency and severity of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes to a worldwide disaster of "Biblical proportions."



The convergence of other prophetic timelines leads me to believe that the 6th Seal Judgment might very well be John's description of this coming dual Magnetic Polar Reversal. (See "The Convergence Of Prophecy And Current Events" referenced below.) If so we're really getting close to the Rapture.

And turn upside down
and skip about as a hunted roe
and be moved out of it's place [orbit]
men's hearts failing for fear of those things coming
one third of day and one third of night not shining
men burned with the great heat
sun shining seven times hotter
moon shining seven times brighter [as the sun]
wind and waves roaring [tsunamis and hurricanes]
drought
fires
death
destruction
demons loosed on earth from hell


and a returned prince -a king, a ruler, let loose from hell.
Rev 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

I didn't look up the verses, but if anyone is interested I will -this is from memory.
I wouldn't want to be around and am glad that the LORD has not appointed us to be on earth during that time of the outpouring of His wrath, but has told us He will take us to be with Him, where He is, before that wrath is poured out.

If you want links, I'll find 'em.

The events that lead up to the reversal (bigger and bigger earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanos) and what happens when the poles reverse seem to line up with what has been predicted in Revelation including sending asteroids/meteors our way, really hot days, shortened days, etc.
Could the wrath of God that is predicted to occur coincide with this?

I believe so. But when that wrath is finished, the earth will return to it's pre-Noah orbit - everything stablized as God meant it to be originally.

Is that true?

Even if it does start again why did they pick 12/31/2012 as the end date.

For the same reason we pick December 31st as the end date for the Gregorian calendar. The Mayans had many calendars, some shorter than ours, some longer; the one ending in 2012 just happens to be their longest. In Mayan thought, time does not have a beginning or an end; everything is cyclical.
So if you hear anyone say, "the End of the World is in 2012 because the Mayan calender predicts it!" then that tells you the person in question doesn't know what they're talking about.

The author of those prophecies is a New Age mystic who poached certain aspects of the 260-day Mayan calendar to justify his mystical claims (he thinks he's the reincarnation of Votan). He's an art professor, not an archaeologist; true experts in Mayan studies know that Arguelles' prophetic claims are absurd, and are not based on the real Mayan calender. Please, do not search the "Prophecies of Pacal Votan" because they are founded on wholesale error.

In Christ,

I still can't imagine why Christians set any store at all in the work of a bunch of benighted pagans who didn't know any more about the Word of God than they did of particle physics.

Here is a video on the wild weather in the US kinda on topic here i think!

So what does this have to do with the end times?
