Tomorrow is 12/21/2012
Being that tomorrow is a really big day, I thought I would post a couple of things about what’s supposed to happen, what won’t happen, and what I hope will happen!
First, tomorrow is Shabbat!!
((Thought I should post it now, cuz I’m not posting it tomorrow.))Next, tomorrow is Winter Solstice. It’s the longest day of the year for the entire globe. It’s one of those days that mattered to people who paid attention to the heavens, astrologists and earth watchers. We *are* celebrating… I found these really kewl fingerpaint suns (that are amazing NOT disastrously messy!) that we’re going to do, and I plan to have a burn-barrel bonfire, if we should be here.
And of course there’s the HUGE hype. As you all have likely heard by now, we’re told that all the planets are going to line up on 21/21.
Is this true? No. Take a look at this picture, it’s the planets on 12/21, and as you can see, they’re NOT all lined up.
Also, we’re told the earth is going to cross the galactic plane (the ‘line’ of the Milky Way) for the first time in… millions of years. Since I’m a young-Earth person, I don’t believe the Milky Way has existed for millions of years, but the idea of us crossing that plane was interesting to me. So I looked into it:
http://earthsky.org/…earth-pass-through-galactic-plane-in-2012
No, Earth will not pass through the galactic plane in 2012, contrary to what you might have heard. Earth won’t be physically passing through the plane of the Milky Way galaxyfor another 30 million years. However, Earth will cross the galactic equator in 2012. As seen from the sun, the Earth does this every year – twice.
The galactic plane is the actual mid-plane or center line of our galaxy’s huge spinning disk of stars. We are not located on the exact mid-plane of the galaxy. It’s this exact mid-plane people are speaking about when they speak of crossing something.
The galactic equator is an imaginary great circle that divides the equally imaginary celestial sphere into two equal halves. The celestial sphere is – of course – a fiction. It’s the same fiction that so confounded the early stargazers, that, as seen from Earth, we appear to reside in the center of a great globe of stars. In modern times, the fiction of the geocentric view of the universe enables astronomers to use a workable coordinate system for mapping the sky. It’s handy, but it’s not reality.
- As seen from the sun, the Earth crosses the galactic equator twice a year, every year. Nothing special here. Keep moving.
- As seen from Earth, the sun crosses the galactic equator twice a year, every year. Keep moving.
- As seen from Earth, the moon crosses the galactic equator two (sometimes three) times a month.
Are you seeing the pattern here? All of this crossing of the galactic equator is just part of the heavens’ normal motion, really Earth’s normal motion as projected on our sky’s dome as we travel around the sun.
There’s been much hoopla about the winter solstice sun aligning with galactic plane on December 21, 2012. You, however, now know the reality that, as seen from Earth, the sun crosses the galactic equator twice a year. And the galactic equator on our sky’s imaginary astronomical coordinate system more or less corresponds with the plane of the Milky Way galaxy. So, in this sense, the sun crosses the plane of the Milky Way twice a year (as seen from Earth)
Now, I know this is a lot, but I can’t leave out Tomer Devorah’s article… because it is SO good. Ironically, Tomer Devorah has closed her blog completely, as of three days ago. Why? I don’t know. It’s kind of spooky, IMO, but whatevs. Anyhow, so here is what she wrote (edited for space):http://palmtreeofdeborah…2012/12/the-2012-phenomenon.html
Modern man has made a big mistake. He thinks that ancient man was a primitive and that mankind has been evolving upwards ever since. Not true. And this erroneous conclusion leads to serious misunderstandings.
The Jewish tradition – the true tradition – tells us that the first man had all knowledge and existed at an exalted level before his fall and exile from Gan Eden. He was able to look into every animate and inanimate thing and call it by a name which perfectly expressed its inner essence. He was more a being of light than a being of flesh at that time, but his breaking of the Creator’s commandment not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil caused him to fall from that exalted state and lose many of his spiritual abilities.
Even so, he knew what he knew and he passed his knowledge down. Because people lived such long lives, Noah actually lived at the same time as Adam HaRishon’s grandson. And then Avraham Avinu lived at the same time as Noah’s son Shem. And, of course, Avraham Avinu was still alive when Ya’aqov Avinu was a young man. As you can see, the information did not have to pass through very many people to come down to the heads of the tribes of Israel by oral tradition.
The generation that built the Tower of Bavel was so technologically advanced that had Hashem not confused the languages, there was nothing they could not have achieved. Our tradition tells us further that at the same time the languages were confused, the land mass of the world was broken into continents and separated by the oceans.
Science has always confirmed this, but insisted that it was a process that took millions of years. But, today, they admit it could have happened in a matter of days. (The rabbis say that the more science learns, the more it proves Torah and that the closer we get to Mashiach, the less contradiction there will be between the two.) This also explains how pyramids of similar design, astronomically aligned and constructed in a manner which still cannot be duplicated, can be found on every continent.
…Now, we come to the Mayan calendar whose authenticity and accuracy are not in dispute. The only thing that is in dispute is the meaning of the date 21.12.2012 for mankind. Among the oral traditions of many Indian tribes like the Maya and the Hopi, it marks the end of one cycle and the beginning of another cycle….
The generations have not been getting smarter and more powerful. Just the opposite! The generations are going down, getting weaker and losing valuable information along the way. It seems that only those with an oral tradition passed down from father to son and teacher to student are even vaguely aware of where we have come from and where we are all going. As the Maya have said, they are not expecting the end of the world, but a transition to a higher state of being.
This is, in fact, our own expectation. We’re on our way back to Eden – to recover the former state of the first man of this cycle of creation in which we’ve been living for 5773 years. And according to our prophets, we will attain it during what we call the Messianic Era, which is scheduled to occur before the year 6000 and according to some sources, before the years 5786 or 5790 when the resurrection of the dead will begin.
The only thing we know for sure about the Mayan date 21.12.2012, and which has been confirmed by scientists who knew nothing of it until the last few years, is that the earth will complete a precessional cycle which takes 26,000 years. At this same time, the sun and the earth will be in precise alignment with the black hole at the center of the galaxy. No one knows for sure what effect this might have, if anything discernible, but it is possible that the increase in radiation could cause our sun to emit a super flare. It’s possible that the approaching event has been causing the sun to gradually heat up and consequently, heat up the planets as well and this could account for what people have been referring to as global warming and its effects on the weather. There is a portion of the scientific community that says that the warming is not confined to earth and that the sun is the cause rather than carbon emissions. Take a look at this:
Over the next few months the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy will set about consuming a vast cloud of interstellar dust and gas – somewhat prosaically known as G2 – that has strayed too close to the singularity’s event horizon.
It promises to be quite a show as all the material that doesn’t get sucked into oblivion will be swept up, swirled around in a gigantic catherine wheel, heated, stretched, shredded and finally fired out again in a dazzling display of gravitational power. Not something astronomers get to see every day according to Dr Karen Masters from the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation at Portsmouth University.
“The black hole at the centre of our galaxy is normally quite quiet, docile even, but as this cloud begins to fall in the material is going to get very, very hot and it’s going to start emitting all sorts of radiation. We don’t know exactly what’s going to happen but we know it’s going to be spectacular….” (Source: BBC News)
The Jewish tradition states clearly that there will be changes in the celestial bodies at the end of the age before we transition from the world-as-we-know-it-now to the Messianic Era. Will it start on 21.12.2012? Will it culminate on 21.12.2012? Or will the date pass inconspicuously? We don’t have much longer to wait and find out.
And as a footnote, Shirat Devorah [as opposed to Tomer Devorah] posted this video of a Mayan leader explaining what will happen tomorrow. It also talks about this radiation mentioned in Tomer Devorah’s article. And typically if a video is more than ten minutes, I pass on it, but this one I couldn’t. I’ll tell ya… the first twelve minutes are KEY to the video – if you watch nothing else, watch until minute twelve. It’s true – about the Hadron Collider, the Chilean and Japanese quakes throwing off the earth’s axis, about the shift of our planet, about the sinkholes since 2010… it’s all true. He does a fantastic job explaining what the Mayans built those pyramids for (to diffuse the energy/radiation that is gonna hit us), and how the scientists are planning to do the exact opposite – they want to collect that energy/radiation, boost it, and redirect it in order to hit the planet with it.
The middle of the video is silliness about peace and a level of consciousness and mental ascension, but at minute 24 it picks back up and mentions some amazing things, again… like that it’s not just 12/21/2012 – it’s a THREE day event, with earthquakes, darkness, and ‘ascension’. What happened when Yeshua died? Earthquakes, darkness, and ‘ascensions’. What do I suspect will happen at the rapture? Earthquake, darkness, and our ascensions to meet Him in the air. I find it SO interesting!! Worth the watch:
I just found all of this highly interesting… and you know I have to share!

I had to add something else – this morning, EarthSky posted a picture of all the recorded temperatures since 1880, as a way of showing the increase in global warming. What got me was the point at which things started to heat up. It was the start of WWI… the start of the ‘birth pangs’. The irony is amazing.
