The winter solstice/ end of Mayan calendar may mark the end of the Times of the Gentiles (end of an Age), thus will be a turning point.   My 2nd vote is that the end of winter @ about March 21st 2013 will mark the end of the Gentile time.

2 Thes. 2:   KJV
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: afor that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Didn't some people here say that Obama is slated to roll out the Mark in around March 22 2013?   there are Christians and others watching closely that believe that Obama is the Antichrist or an antichrist, but has he been revealed yet to the world, really, that he is the man of sin?  Food for thought.  Maybe he has, maybe he hasn't.  It's hard to know what Paul meant in the scriptures -- only by pondering and the Spirit can we gain that additional meaning.

I did discover on my own that all dates were removed from the New Testament.  There are references to passage of time in the NT, but not dates (in the such and such month, such and such day etc as in a calendar notation), whereas that did occur on a regular basis in the Old Testament.  I do believe that this was done to hide prophetic fulfillment from both Jew and Gentile.  I can't imagine a person not writing in a diary and not putting the date.  Dates where also recorded in antiquity in many documents.  It becomes obvious what occurred -- a deliberate removal of dates.
