Does the Bible say anything about the doomsday predictions centering around the end of the Mayan calendar on December 2012 or any other future 'end of the world' predictions?
Bible prophecy of the end time talks about a mysterious figure called the Antichrist (also called the "man of sin" and the "false prophet") before the second coming of Christ. But the story starts even earlier.
The Day of the Lord includes a series of cataclysmic events leading up to the return of Jesus Christ and His forceful suppression of humanity's rebellion against God.
Jesus Christ and the apostle John describe terrifying supernatural signs in the sun, moon and stars between the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord. Why will God send these signs in the end times?
Paul said that we are naturally slaves of sin—that sin reigns over us. Why did God make man subject to sin? Did God intend for us to suffer the consequences of sin?
