Mayan / Bible Predictions Coming True

In an article presented by AOL today, NASA scientists declare that Earth's axis has moved slightly as a result of The Chilean earthquake which occurred this past Saturday (Feb. 27, 2010). It also states that the strong earthquake causing the Indonesian Tsunami in 2004 also produced the same results.

This comes as no news to the Maya whose ancient writings describe the shifting of Earth's axis. They describe that the Earth goes through "ages" as its axis moves in an elliptical circle throughout time. On 2012, the Earth is said to enter into the age of Aquarius.

These predictions may indeed signal the coming of strong earthquakes as the globe shifts its axis. This is the scenario depicted in the movie "2012". While the degree of destruction may not be as catastrophic as this film depicts; nonetheless, the amount or strength of earthquakes may increase.

The NASA scientists also stated that the length of each day shortens slightly as Earth's crust constricts as a result of the quakes. Now this fact is explicitly described in the Biblical end-times. The length of days would be shortened and provide relief from the scorching sun.

This particular article does not talk about the sun, but recent articles do mention the danger of solar flares if Earth's magnetic field is lowered. This scenario was portrayed in the movie "Knowing" where the sun caused world-wide catastrophe.

Certainly, all these movies do focus on one or several possible outcomes to end-times, but the truth may in fact lie within a combination of these effects. It all relates to natural change and evolution.

Should we fear such occurrences? Perhaps not. Most humans do not live their lives focusing on when they are to die. In like manner, most humans will not live their lives wondering when catastrophe will strike.

In the very least, such news tells us to brace for change. Change is an inevitable consequence of our lives. Knowing beforehand what may occur should only help us in deciding how we are to live. "Carpe Diem" - Seize the day.
