The Mayan prophecy of the end of times in December of 2012 has ignited strong debate about its validity, particularly among younger people and those with minimal involvement in religion. It has spawned an internet industry of entrepreneurs intent on providing appropriately pricy survival gear to assist in surviving the ill-defined horrors to come. It is the purpose of this work to explore the origins of the Mayan predicitons as well as the those of Nostradamus whose work is seen by many to be intertwined with the Mayan prediciton. Organized religion has been slow to comment upon the Biblical perspective of end of time predictions. In fact, the Bible has a distinct description of unfolding history as it relates to God's plan for the future. Unfortunately, it is couched in difficult to decipher prophetic language. It is the prupose of this work to make that description easier to understand and relate it to the Mayan prediction.
