End of the World 2012 and Population Growth
Food Shortage Predicted after End of the World 2012
Do we have a little conflict with the end of the world 2012? Scientists report that by the year 2050, the population on earth will exceed 10 billion people.
Apparently, they are not expecting the alleged Rapture or the alleged future second coming to have much of an impact. Dispensationalists have not convinced these scientists that the alleged Rapture will take care of all future population growth.
Obviously, they expect the year 2012 to pass without so much as a spark, let alone the end of the planet.
The Earth Abides Forever
Seems we have another statement of God that rings true. “One generation passes away, and another generation comes; but the earth abides forever. (Eccl. 1:4)
Nothing we’ve seen thus far in the realm of eschatology gives reasonable ground to reject this passage. So what happens to the last great day in the end of the world 2012 scenario? Where are those last days of planet earth? Would they not serve as a valid response to population control?
End of the World 2012 – Not Found in the Bible
Prophecies of the last days describe the times and nature of those events. While the end of the world 2012 has emerged as a popular sign of the terminus of the world, it originates from pagan literature. The last days events were inclusive of the:
- Birth, ministry and death of Christ, (Gal. 4:4; Heb. 1:1; 1 Pet. 1:20)
- Outpouring of the Spirit, according to Joel 2:28-30; Acts 2:16-20).
- Coming of Elijah the prophet, i.e. John the Baptizer, (Mal. 4:5; Matt. 17:11-13; Luk 1:34-35)
- Establishment of the church, Isaiah 2:2
- Apostasy, Matt. 24:11-12; 2 Thess. 1:3
- Worldwide evangelism within one generation, Matt. 24:14, 34
- Abomination of desolation, Matt. 24:15
- Revealing of the Man of Sin, 2 Thess. 2:3
- Coming of Christ, 2 Peter 3:1f
All the above events were fulfilled in the first century before the generation who lived in the times of Christ and the apostles passed away, Matt. 24:34.
Proposals for Population Control Beyond the 2012 Last Days
Since scientists and those who study population control are not staking bets on either the alleged end of the world 2012 hoax or the rapture, what recommendations will they make for the government. According to Yahoo news, the two continents that will experience the greatest population growth are Africa and Asia. Suggestions are being made to:
- Re-engineer food and its production
- Teach and required abstinence
- Implement planned parenting
- Welfare systems for the aged
- Condoms and birth control
Most of the suggestions above are politically correct. However, if history teaches us anything especially with respect to Africa, there will be manufactured diseases such as aids, genocide, war, foreign incited civil wars, food control and other man-killer operations in place. We do understand that natural death is part of the solution to the problem but mass-murder is not. (Ex. 20:13; Rom. 13:9)
End of the World 2012 No Solution
For those who understand there is no such event as the alleged Rapture or end of the world 2012, responsible leadership demands that humanitarian solutions are found to create the resources needed.

When the rapture occurs we will not have the same bodies we have now. Redeemed will be changed instantaneously into a body of flesh,and bone with no blood in it-just like Jesus when he raised up from the dead. All human beings that live on this earth,and love all even as Jesus loves with his forgiving, giving love beyond understanding. will walk the streets of Gold hearing, and seeing the sights of heaven no eye has seen, and experiencing Joys welling up in you that no heart has felt rejoicing forever in a place where there is no more pain sorrow crying or death ever again. That is the end result for those being like Jesus is saving the soul. That is what God sees,and what we see is only this limited speck in space, and that is why humans panic, but God never panics. God see s beyond what mortal humans see. The soul of whoever is what is important. Jesus wants to populate his fathers house with as many humans as possible.
The problem with the rapture doctrine is that it ignores the time-setting for the fulfillment of prophecy. Your quote from 1 Cor. 2:9-13 is a reference to Isaiah 64:4 which speaks of things Israel had not heard related to the blessings of salvation which would come through Christ. Those were being fulfilled in the first century as Paul said, "Now is the acceptable time, now is the day of salvation." "Now is not later. Now is not 2011. Now, was at the time Paul wrote. Even in 1 Cor. 2:10, he says "but God has revealed them "to us by His Spirit." The Holy Spirit was poured out on first century saints who were called the firstfruits (Jas. 1:18) and who had the "firstfruits" of the Spirit (Rom. 8:23). Believers already have life with no death (John 8:51-52; 11:25-26). God says our hope (now realized) must be seen with the "eyes of understanding" not with physical eyeballs (Eph. 1:18). Therefore, to literalize this figurative language is a gross error and the reason men like Harold Camping keep making shameful blunders on trying to predict events which are past as those which are future.
