The year 2012 has great significance in a lot of cultures and there are perhaps many prophecies (interpretive by definition) that can be stretched to point to that year as the year of the apocalypse. Incidentally the origin of this word (Greek:Ἀποκάλυψις) has little in common with what this word has come to symbolize. The word literally means "lifting of the veil" but has now been understood as the biblical event corresponding to the end of the world.

To set the record straight, I DO NOT believe the world will end in 2012. The fact is that as a matter of principle I Do Not Believe!!!!

But were it true, since this was the future writ in biblical finality, in my mind to end a very engaging story, I wonder why the evengelicals would fight the election of <b>the one</b> (Peace be upon him :) ). Are they hoping to postpone the eventual wrath of god, a god, whose central message was one of mercy?

I believe Shakespeare put it as - "the quality of mercy is not strained"! Yeah right!
