You'd have to be living a sheltered life if you weren't aware of the all the recent hype over the year 2012 and impeding doom predicted by pundits and new age soothsayers. The title word above (pronounced tea ought walkie) has been coined from that hype by using the acronym for "The End Of The World As We Know It." Really? The end of the world?
The Mayan calendar and the likes of Nostradamus don't predict 2012 as the end of the world. Yet, Hollywood films over the past 20 years or so sure have and numerous TV shows as well. All predicting disasters or an epic battle. Good vs evil, God vs Satan, nuclear war, natural disasters, asteroids, Planet X (the mysterious Nibiru), angels vs demons, vampires vs whatever vs witches, and gamma ray bursts from a star going super nova. Watch out Mad Max, here we come. Makes my head hurt.
What is the cause of all this hubbub?
It seems that there is no single human cause. Scientists have alarmed the public over potential, possible disasters emanating from outer space for a while now. The green movement has claimed that man will destroy his environment any day now. The Muslims are preparing for the return of the Mahdi who will usher in a new world where everyone will either become Muslim or die. Last October, the Jews reformed the sanhedrin, a court of 71 rabbis which had been dormant since ca 400 AD, just to deal with a new religious phenomenon--Noahides and other end time pressing issues i.e. the rebuilding of the temple.
Secular humanist sure seem to be busy. The thing is that they can only predict events, not the outcome or result. All of them seem to be pushing the belief that there is only one hope for mankind. They say that unless we all allow the United Nations to take control allowing the world's people to unite creating a one world government, there is NO hope.
Excuse me? I disagree. I have hope in something far greater than anything that feeble mankind can create. I have the Blessed Hope.

I saw this word some place else and didn't know what it meant. I thought maybe it had to do with Star Wars or something. All this 2012 stuff is stupid. I like your blog. Glad I foulnd it. You got some cool stuff on here.
Talk of the end of the world bothers me. I'm afraid a meteor will slam in to us and we will go like the dinosaurs. I still watch all those shows on discovery and stuff anyway. I can,t seem to stop. I'm really worryed about muslims. What's the blesssed hope.
oh crap that was my comment. I don,'t know why I pushed the wrong button. I'm sorry for messing it up, the comment just on top of this one was from me
I'll be curious if TEOTWAWKI becomes a real word in our lexicon over time.
mbrant1999, I thought the same thing when I first saw the word. Wookies, Teotwawki, ewoks. Yep, it works.
Thanks for the thumbs up. I'm glad you are enjoying it.
Tamwow,
I'm sorry you feel distress about all the shows about the end of the world. I'm not sure there is much we can do about natural disasters. Living in fear is not healthy. Try to relax and enjoy the here and now. Let tomorrow take care of itself.
Many are concerned about the radical segment of the Islamic faith. They are responsible for many, many bombings, shootings, and beheadings around the world on a daily basis all in the name of Allah. Because of them, it is important to support our military and law enforcement personnel who help to keep us safe and free.
The Blessed Hope is the appearance of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I thought about starting a blog but I don't know what I'd write about. I like reading what other people write and commenting about it. I like the discussing back in forth.
there were more of this shows on over the long weekend. I watched some but still think it is crap
From Brinkly on a forum I read:
"The secular world is frightened over global warming, animal cruelty, environmental disasters, meteorites hitting the Earth, Tsumanis, war, and are clinging to predictions by Nostramadus and are looking for the UFOs to come and save us. A lot of people are frightened, and either don't know, or could care less, about end time Bible prophecy.
Then there are the scoffers and those who are oblivious to all that is around them and are believing is a bold new world that will emerge from the efforts of men.
But most everyone knows that things have changed and that we are suddenly in a new paradigm."
Man there is a lot of this stuff on tv and everywhere. There's not a ting we can do if some thing happens. Its not in our hands.
