For a historian, the predictions regarding the end of the world on December 21, 2012, seem quite improbable.
Our predictions are grounded in historical patterns and the likelihood of recurrence. Analyzing current events and the policy concerning the Middle East reveals parallels with events from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The ongoing conflicts among religions and the imposition of regulations by western nations on distant territories echo the era of the Crusades, accompanied by a military buildup.
Could this situation lead us to Armageddon?
Armageddon, after all, refers to a location in the Middle East. Historically, weaponry comprised swords and lances, whereas today’s arsenal includes bombs and missiles.
If an apocalyptic event were to transpire, it would most likely align with Biblical prophecies pointing to the Middle East. Could this align with the December 21, 2012 predictions?
If Iran continues to develop its nuclear capabilities and Israel persists in expanding its own nuclear stockpile, the possibility of conflict looms.
Is it likely that the West would become involved in such a conflict? This seems doubtful, especially considering the current global financial conditions…such a conflict would indeed result in catastrophic consequences, though hopefully contained among the principal fighters. The involvement of Asia is crucial in determining alliances, and as long as they stay uninvolved, I predict that this year will not mark the end of the world.
