What Does All This Mean?

NOW WE CAN ASK SOME REAL QUESTIONS:

WHICH CALENDAR SHOULD WE NOW FOCUS ON, THE BIBLE'S OR THE MAYAN?

HOW WILL GOD CELEBRATE THE ANNIVERSARY OF TIME?

IS THE MILKY WAY GOD'S REAL TIME CLOCK?


ARE WE THE "LAST GENERATION"?
WILL TIME END ON DEC. 21, 2012, OR WILL IT REPEAT?


WILL THE FIFTH CYCLE OF THE MAYAN CALENDAR END WITH GOD DESTROYING THE WORLD AGAIN?


WILL THE FINAL THOUSAND YEARS OF OUR CIVILIZATION BEGIN ON DEC. 21, 2012?

Any story about the Maya, by its very nature, must be classified as fiction.

Many believe that the greatest piece of fiction influencing people around the world is the Bible.

Here is a fictional tale combining the two.

You decide.

Dedication

Two years ago, I swore an oath to Almighty God that I would use the rest of my years to search for the last one of the few that Jesus Christ said would be saved. I never realized then that it would lead to my writing this book, since my style is going from city-to-city. This book, then, is dedicated to:

The One Person Whose Life is Changed

by this Story

To the many students who, through my profession, I have literally taught how to stay alive, remember the greatest lessons I taught you.

To the Amtrak travelers—my special field—

whose lives I have touched, my search continues. I’ll be back on the rails again!

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank the many scholars, consultants, and friends for their support of this project. And, it goes without saying, thanks to the religious advisors down through the decades who taught me through the spirit of God Almighty.

To family and friends who were encouragingly enthusiastic about this endeavor, I owe a deep debt of gratitude. Without their constant urgings this project would not have been completed.

To the friends who, understandably, doubted my veracity and sincerity due to the subject matter, I want to say thanks also—that kept me balanced, focused, and humble. I have a special section in the book for you.

To the many consultants, I want to give a special thank you for the accuracy of the information contained herein, without which this story would be baseless.

Author’s Note

In this work, I am not attempting to espouse any religious belief except my own as I personally view the word of God in the Bible. The expressions contained within are solely my own and they pertain only to this subject.

Any use of the word, or calling on the name of God, is between me and God alone and the relationship I have with Him. I do not seek to offend anyone, male or female, poet or scholar, theologian or sectarian, by the terms by which I refer to God or the circumstances under which His name appears—as this is not a subject for modern-day political correctness, or unnecessary piety.

Preface

A Convenient Truth

And there came to be evening, and there came to be morning, a Sixth day.

All during my childhood I basked in a convenient truth I thought only I knew: The seven days of Creation in the Bible were not twenty-four-hour days. How I arrived at this revelation I am not sure.

But, as I strain my mind to see when the thought first entered into my consciousness, I begin to sense that there was a period in my life where that which had been recorded just didn’t make sense.

Either the Bible writers were using the super-hyperboles of the then ages to describe indescribable events, or God was moving faster in the creating than they were in the writing down of the facts.

In either case, I began to question the literal translation of what I was being taught. Intellectually, I knew that there had to be a better explanation, a better way for God, even, to powerfully do what he had done.

And then, the explanation for day in the Hebrew language started to come—how it could mean a twenty-four-hour period, or an entire epoch. It could be of a known or unknown length.

Fortunately, I latched on to this idea and diligently pursued the train of thought that thousands of years would be required, in natural time, to accomplish each of those tremendous feats.

Plus, thousands of years would go unnoticed by the One who was accomplishing it—being not governed by or aware of any time at all. To Him, it might seem like just a day or even less than an hour.

So, while the rest of the world struggled to live and survive from one day to the next, I relished the (God’s) joy of having the luxury of time.

There was time to take my time; time to think and time to meditate; time to believe or not to believe; time to seek my God, if I would; time to get right with God, because I knew what He was doing, and why it was taking Him so long.

Later, I learned that there were others, although very few, who knew this truth: The Creative days of Genesis were each seven thousand years long, and we Today, man Today, as long as it is called Today (Heb 3:13), are still living during the seventh day of God’s rest.

Finally, we’re given a number—seven thousand years—as well as a day, a day that seems never ending according to the Hebrew writer, Paul. A day during which God Himself is resting after that week-long effort of creating the universe—another reason why that twenty-four-hour deadline wasn’t working.

What were we supposed to think? That God is resting because of the enormity of the task that he managed in just seven days? I would be tired, too, and six thousand years later I would still be resting!

The question is: Would God unnecessarily extend the seventh day just because he needed to rest? I don’t think so. All the days were, obviously, six to seven thousand years anyway.

THE MAYA KNEW THIS, TOO!

To get into the mind of the Maya, one must know this convenient truth, or needlessly stumble around in the dark trying to figure them out. They gave us a hint with their long-count calendar and its five cycles, or days. They tried to show us the days of Creation, which they believed were five attempts, each 5,125 years long. The Maya were mimicking the creative days of Genesis!

This was the sole reason for my research into the Mayan mystique of the year 2012—to prove that the Maya, statistically and astronomically, were most accurately and intentionally interpreting the book of Genesis. The proof that this is true, as you will see, is absolutely startling!

Mayan cosmology dictated that the Maya only be concerned with approximately 26,000 years. They
