‘Great Seal’ Does Not Predict 2012

Ran across something rather bizarre (as well as inaccurate) about 2012 today:

Thomas Horn was awakened by the Lord at 2 a.m. in 2008 and sat straight up in bed. He had been wrestling with certain images and enigmatic information for years having to do with the beliefs of an occult elite pertaining to the return of a pagan deity, which many believe will rule a final earthly empire. The Bible identifies this personality as the Antichrist…

Unrecognized by the vast majority of people around the world is the greatest conspiracy of all time, sitting right in the open in Washington, D.C., and at the Vatican. It is an ancient, magical, talismanic diagram – the Lost Symbol – which awaits its final use by the hidden hand guiding the secret destiny of America toward the year 2012…

Jesus himself, in Matthew 24, may have set the date for the apocalypse around the year 2012 (http://superstore.wnd.com/sales/The-Dark-Side/Apollyon-Rising-2012-Paperback)

Horn says, “Given the rejection of Jesus by orthodox Jews as Messiah, this coming could herald the coming of Antichrist in 2012.”…

Horn says from deepest antiquity, a plot involving pagan sun-worshippers, America’s Founding Fathers, Masons and Freemasons has apparently been in the works, culminating in the end time with the return or resurrection of an evil, supernatural being. That character may actually be pictured as the all-seeing eye on top of the uncapped pyramid on the Great Seal of the United States, found on the back of a $1 bill.

Others have speculated the eye on top of the pyramid could be a representation of Jesus Christ, since the Bible notes, “The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone.” (Psalm 118:22 New International Version).

The date at the base of the pyramid is 1776, which is not only the year the Declaration of Independence was signed, but also the beginning of a new Mayan “katun,” a time period of 19.7 years. If each of the 13 levels of the pyramid on the Great Seal represents one of these time periods, the top level would mark the year 2012. http://www.wnd.com/2011/11/368437/#v0kUjoCKhoFVObf2.99

Jesus did NOT set the date of the apocalypse for 2012. Jesus will NOT return in 2012. For proof on these two points see the article Can the Great Tribulation Begin in 2012 or 2013?

Nor does the “Great Seal” of the United States point to 2012 Thomas Horn’s way. It is very easy to disprove Thomas Horn’s inaccurate speculation on this point by simply doing the math. 19.7 years times 13 equals 256.1 years. Adding 256 to 1776 leads to the year 2032, not 2012 (and no, I am not trying to say that 2032 is for the end based on the 13 steps and Mayan katuns). And trying to claim that the thirteen steps really means twelve is absurd.

World News Daily should never have promoted that author and his inaccurate book.

The end of the world will not be December 21/22, 2012.

Some items that might be of assistance in understanding end-time events may include:

End of Mayan Calendar 2012–Might 2012 Mean Something? Are there Mayan calendar predictions for change in 2012? Changes were centuries ago predicted by the Hopi Native Americans. Do Mayan/Hindu/Hopi/Buddhist/New Age/Nostradamus prophecies have any value here? 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? How might Barack Obama and Julia Gillard be involved in 2012? Have predictions written by Bob Thiel related to Barack Obama and Julia Gillard began to come to pass?
Can the Great Tribulation Begin in 2012 or 2013? Can the Great Tribulation begin today? What is the “beginning of sorrows”? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord? When is the earliest Jesus can return?
