December 21, 2012????

Post by faisall667 »

They say that date is going to be the end of the world. I have a feeling that that there might be some changes (as the world is always changing (entropy)), but I wanted to know if that date is mentioned in the Ginans or is there a Ismaili take on this?

Thank you and Happy New Year,

Faisal

I just typed in 2012 prophecy into google and a video of came up (something from history channel) and apparently many religions believe that that date is significant. It is also significant scientifically b/c the Earth will complete its "wobble"--this happens every 26,000 years and also the sun will align with something--i don't remember.

I hear that there was a lecture given in one of the Atlanta JK about saving $$$ and it was said that there will soon be a deflation (maybe even a depression) and we are just starting to see tough times. I dunno but what do you guys think?

How many years left for kalyug?

Faisal

Hmm...I feel if one is on the right path, i really don't think any kind of troubles can harm us !! no matter how much tough it's on our surrounding.

I heard today a farman of 1964 where MHI said that my jamat is far happier than those who have unlimited wealths...and it has become a burden than blessing for them...I dont remember word to word but its similar to it.

about 410,000 years ;-).

What the ginans are referring to and we are waiting for - Aswari at the end of vikhidi vela is still well over 100 years away.....
Keep an eye on China.

After 100 yrs lol I won't be able to keep an eye on it ehe.

I guess global warming will change all earth's climate and hence Earth will become pollution free again for the newer generations. Nature is constantly improving

but 410,000 yrs? will humans would be there? i wonder if it's sinful now...what would happen then...

The 2012 date is a Mayan calander problem. Its not that time ends (or the world) but rather the wheel of time starts over.

i o­nce heared from the wa'az of abuali that next 100 years are the toughest and terrible 100 years in the entire history. but the time followed by this 100 years would be of peace ... i have also heared from unreliable sources (froms words of mouth) that 51th imam would be the qai'm (the o­ne the whole world is waiting for) and then the fight will commence somewhere near chenab between Him and dajal (kalinga in ginans). have you heared about it before??

I also heard somewhere that Imam after the deedar told the Jamat before leaving that one day I will need the male members of my Jamat and also women. Was he meant in fight terms?

Vikhdi vela is mentioned in many many ginans. Anand Anand -
ejee vikhaddi vellaa maa(n)he panth katthan chhe
ke aaveeyaa aagam endhaann

Many other ginans - pirs have warned us of Vikhdi Vela

Vikh - comes from Sanskrit for Poison
Vela - times

So we are living in poisonous times.

The title of the 51st Imam will be the Mehdi - the battle will be the Armageddon mentioned in the Bible, the 51st Imam will be recognized as the Messiah by the Jews as well. The event where the Imam will be crowned king of the world is referred to in the Ginans as Aswari.
The period of peace will be 125,000 years..not 100 years.
"Sawa Lakh Varas Rikhiyo Raaj Kare"

As per the ginans, we will have very few true Ismailies left....we will have a lot of people claiming to be ismailies, yet very few true ismailies left....
Go to Jamatkhana on a weekday..and see attendance...better yet..go to morning jamatkhana on a weekend..and check attendance....and you will see what the pir was talking about....
when most of the ginans talk about the Imam sitting on a takhat..this is what they are talking about.

wow...when that period of peace will start? after how many yrs from now on?

umm...i won't be alive but hoping to see Imam crowned as the ruler from somewhere upstairs :D

Yup very true. Those people are true ismailies who follow farmans closely. Today if many do it maybe in the future the numbers would less.

Imam said in his GJ Farman that in future world will be very materialistic that Islamic values will not be there in people's life but bring it in your life. I don't remember it clearly, what I understood telling.

Shams, I am confused. After all this Global Warming scene, Sins and everything...how things will go reverse in the period of peace? with all this material love how will spiritual love be created in them ?

the majority of the world population will be destroyed in the war between the Imam and Daiynt.

The period of peace will start after aswari which is still well over a century from now as per the ginans. Keep an eye on the chinese army..when it reaches 3.6 million..then start to worry ;-).

Umm...has Imam Sultan Mohammad Shah ever referred to such kind of war where most of the world's population will be destroyed? Cos my aunty told me that once he said that one day a time will come where this world would be divided and 1/3 sort of population would be destroyed. I dont remember exact.

Umm..that would be interesting...will the population which is left would be of peace-loving peoples? Ismailies among them? And what about every materialistic developments? like technology advancing too much..etc...

When I just imagine such a world makes me feel good :d

The population that will be left..will recognize the Imam as the ruler of the world.

You are right Adnan Ali. You can see that when 2000 year was started, the world trade centre was destroyed, which had effected whole world, which is the cause of War between America and Iraq.

I think that last 100 year's has been started. We can see that in just 8 year's crime has reached to much extend, we can't imagine. Everyday people are killing due to bomb blast or assaults. Take an example of Pakistan, Even America is loosing its economic wealth, Crime is increasing in America as well.

Everyone know's that one day Pakistan will be united again, There will be peace in pakistan. I had heard that Hazar Imam said in his farman that :

"People will face alot of plagues in future, but one day there will be peace"
(I am not remember the date and real words said by imam)

My astronomy professor was telling my class about this theory a few weeks ago. Apparently, he has done a lot of research on this topic and believes the world is really going to end on dec. 21. I think it's called a THEORY for a reason. Personally, I can't wait until that day. If the Y2K hoopla wasn't crazy enough, this ought to be something! =D
