OCTOBER 2009 NONFICTION
2012, the Bible, and the End of the World
An internet search for “2012,” “2012 Doomsday,” or “2012
The End of the World” will produce thousands of pages of
information. Why? Because the ancient Mayans were
expert astronomers, and their advanced calendar cycles predict
12/21/2012 as a catastrophic day of apocalypse. This prophecy
has spawned a growing number of fringe-element books, Web
sites, and even a major movie—complete with all-star cast—
scheduled to release in July 2009. What should Christians
make of the rapidly spreading speculations that the world will
end on December 21, 2012?
Bible teacher Mark Hitchcock—whose books have sold more
than 300,000 copies—examines the following questions:
• Why December 21, 2012?
• Can we trust the Mayan alarm clock?
• Does the Bible say anything about 2012?
• Will Jesus return in 2012?
• What signs will tell us that Armageddon is near?
This book provides a fascinating survey of both the historical
past and the prophetic future. Readers will discover how to
effectively counter baseless speculation with biblical fact.

FROM THE AUTHOR
“A growing number of people believe the world is going to end on 12/21/2012. Others,
likely wanting to be less pessimistic, proclaim that this day marks the end of one era
and the dawning of a ‘new age’ for mankind. 2012, the Bible, and the End of the World
addresses this controversy from a biblical perspective.”
