"The Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end. Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another. The message they give concerns our making a choice of how we enter the future ahead. Our moving through with either resistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition will happen with cataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquility. The same theme can be found reflected in the prophecies of many other Native American visionaries from Black Elk to Sun Bear"...

"The Mayans prophesied that from 1999 we have 13 years to realize the changes in our conscious attitude to stray from the path of self-destruction and instead move onto a path that opens our consciousness to integrate us with all that exists."- Joseph Robert Jochmans

 

Giving us 12 years to actualize positive change through a spiritual judgment, the number 12 representing judgment.

The World has passed through two of the three eras. I refer to them as "The Era of Abraham," which began 4000 years ago, and is associated with the Father and the "The Era of Isaac," which began 2000 years ago, and is associated with the Son. Isaac gave birth to two sons: Esau and Jacob, and just as they were taxed 2000 years ago at the beginning of this era, we are being spiritually taxed upon our transition into this new era, which is to make a choice between two opposing forces. One that wants us to forfeit our spiritual birthright, and the other to claim it!

esau or jacob?

The one choice, which is to continue on that way we have been for the past 6000 years, leads to more death, destruction, chaos, and to "cataclysmic changes," all of which are associated with Esau. The other choice leads to life and peace, which associated with Jacob, comes with reclaiming our spiritual birthright, restoring our holy spirit.

" For to be carnally minded is death; But to be spiritually minded is life and peace."

"The Third and Final Era of Jacob," which began in the year 2000, is associated with the Holy Spirit.

This is when The World entered the 7th day; the 7 thousandth year since the beginning of man's spiritual decline. There are only seven days, and we are now in the last of those days... in the "end of days."

"...one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."   2Peter 3:8it is a time of transition

Transition: The process or an instance of changing from one form, state, activity, or place to another.

It was in the 7th day that the "first Adam" was formed from the dust. And it will be in this present 7th day that the "last Adam" will be transformed... from the dust of spiritual inactivity into "a quickening spirit."

The word quickening means: to revitalize, which is to impart new life, to restore the vitality of. This is about the revitalization or restoration of man's holy spirit, returning it to the conditon in which we received it from God!

It is time for us to begin our spiritual climb from a spiritual decline, which will begin by transitioning from a carnal way of thinking to a spiritual way of thinking, as the number 7 refers to the spirit or spiritual.

viewing our ancient ancestor's rituals from a spiritual mind

Q: What is a common denominator in these rituals?
A: The sacrificing of the pure and of the innocence.

In the Era of Abraham, some 4000 years ago, Abraham was instructed by God to sacrifice his innocent son.
Five hundred years later the Hebrews would be instructed by God to sacrifice a lamb without spot or blemish.
In the Era of Isaac, some 2000 years ago, the ritual continued, a human lamb(one without spot or blemish) sacrificed.

Q: Why would God instruct Abraham to sacrifice his innocent son? or the Hebrews to sacrifice their unblemished animals?
A: To symbolize the spiritual act that has taken place in the heart of man... the sacrificing of a spiritual innocence or purity.

In the end it was not Abraham's innocent son that was sacrificed, but the ram, symbolizing idolatry.

Idolatry: the worshipping of images, which we do by validating false religious and self images through belief/action.

Biblical timeline and events that bring us to the year 2012

3500 years ago the "two witnesses," Moses and Aaron, appeared to deliver the children of Israel out of physical bondage.
2000 years ago the "two witnesses," John the Baptist and Jesus, showed us how to be delivered out of spiritual bondage.
1500 years separated the two.

460AD.  The spiritual teachings of Jesus were completely covered over, buried under years of religious iniquity!

1960AD.  The foundation of spiritual teachings was re-established, upon which the third temple would be built.

1500 years separated the two.

2006AD.  The Third Temple is compete. It is a Spiritual Temple, built in the Spiritual Era of Jacob.

spirit is energy and word is matter.

"And the word was made flesh"... John 1:14.  

   This word was flesh/matter in the good sense, employing positive-constructive energy... holy spirit.

"... every man's word shall be his burden"... Jeremiah 23:36.  

Man's word is also made flesh, matter in the evil sense, employing negative-destructive energy... unholy spirit.

"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart." Psalms 51:17

It is man's spirit and word that is to be consumed entirely by flames, in the spiritual fire of a spiritual judgment!

12 = judgment   Period of time given to partake of this spiritual judgement 2000 + 12 = 2012  2006 to 2012 = 6 years Period of time given to perform our spiritual works 6 years = 6 days = creation

Offering a spiritual sacrifice in a spiritual temple completes the spiritual works that purifies the heart, cleansing it of its negative and destructive energy, which is contributing to the negative and destructive energy in the earth.Through this spiritual creation process our "first heaven and earth" passes away... our old world or way of life giving way to   "a new heaven and a new earth," which symbolizes a new mind and a new heart, through which we enter into a new way of life. We will enter a new spiritual world order in the good sense by changing what has been governing us in the spiritual sense... an old spiritual government, which like our physical government, hasn't stood for righteousness in a long, long time

"And I John saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth were passed away…" Revelation 21

This new creation is the new Jeursalem, symbolizing a new state of being, through which we enter a spiritual wall of protection, having reached an ascended state, one not achieved through belief in one of the man-made doctrines of religion, or through ritualistic mind-body practices, but through a spiritual practice that transforms the heart.

It is a steep spiritual climb symbolized by Jacob's ladder, and which Moses illustrated by climbing the mount.

I can only hope that over the next 5 years many of us will become still, quieting our mind, entering that temple called the heart, discovering and sacrificing the erroneous religious and personal beliefs, whose negative and destructive energy is bringing death. Let us be diligent, setting aside mind-body disciplines that serve only to bring us an illusion of peace, setting aside the things that distract us from the spiritual works that must be performed in order to change these dismal prophecies!
