Sister,

    Regarding your question about the Mayan calendar.
 
    I am familiar with the Mayan calendar, and yes, it is true that their calendar comes to a complete end with 2012.  They could foresee nothing beyond the end of that year.  The information you received from Colin Deal is correct.  I have studied this to some extent from sources other than Colin Deal and can therefore verify that the info is correct.

    It is also true that the dates set forth in the Great Pyramid come to an end in 2012.  I have studied the Great Pyramid intensively and can verify that your information is correct.

    I might add another factor that I think you will find interesting.  All of these so-called “psychics” are totally frustrated today, because they cannot see a thing beyond 2012.  Any child of God could tell them why, but they probably wouldn’t believe it.  “Psychics” get their information from the “dark side;” familiar spirits [demon spirits].  The Word of God plainly teaches that demons spirits are to be imprisoned [Revelation 18:2] at the end of the Tribulation [2012], and will therefore no longer have any insight into the future or the ability to tell anyone even if they know.

   Sister, what this all boils down to is that all of “natural man’s” insight into the future ends with 2012, for that is the year that the Lord Himself will bring to an end “natural man’s” reign over God’s creation.  God’s people [those truly saved] are not limited to that year.  We have the inspired Word of God that takes us far beyond 2012 into the glorious Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  However, it ought to be obvious to any child of God that is seriously studying the Word that “the end” of all things “man-made” is staring humanity in the face, and that our Lord is coming to deliver His people out of this present evil world, Galatians 1:4.  Our deliverance shall be immediately followed by the seven terrible years of the Tribulation.  2005 + 7 = 2012.  There it is!  Plain and simple.  Sister, I don’t know the day when the Lord is coming, and I am not even trying to figure it out.  I just know that we are in the time frame of our Lord’s coming and we can expect the rapture to occur at any moment now.  Praise the Lord! 

    God bless you.  Thanks for writing.  Keep looking up and listening for His shout.  We are almost HOME!
