Mayan Prophets?

OK, so we are supposedly one day away from the end of the world.  The Mayas have supposedly predicted this day long ago because their calendar ends on December 21st 2012.  The History Channel has gone full throttle with the Nostradamus and Mayan prophecy shows.  I am listening to folks, many of them atheist, describe everything from zombie attacks to alien invasions.  Let me pause here, how can someone not believe in God but believe in aliens?  How can someone believe that DNA was created in the vacuum of space and placed on meteorites BUT not acknowledge that something can never come from nothing unless Someone put His had into nothing and brings something from it!  Only God can create ex nihilo.

Anyway, everyone is going bonkers about this Mayan calendar and has been going bonkers for a long time.  The first time that I heard of it was last year.  I'm all of evidence but there is really no evidence that this whole thing is for real.  There is really no evidence for UFOs either, but people have faith in them.  God has given evidence in His word concerning creation and we can see Him in creation (Romans 1:18-20) but we still look to other things in order to discredit God.

God is a God of order and His word should guide the Christian in all things.  In His word, the only people that proclaimed His thoughts and His will to the people were prophets.  They spoke directly from God to the people.  The only people that were able to proclaim future events were prophets and this is because they received these events from an omniscient God.  The prophets did not speak from their own minds but they spoke from God's mind as they were moved by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21).  The bible says that no one knows the thoughts of God except for the Holy Spirit and no one searches the deep things of God except the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:10). 

Armed with this knowledge, we also need to understand that the Holy Spirit is not granted to anyone that is a non-Christian.  In order to receive the Holy Spirit, one must FIRST receive Jesus.  As far as I know, the Mayans were pagans that did not know God.  How could the Mayans, who did not even have a  fleeting relationship with the Father, receive something that not even the Son, who has an eternal and coequal relationship with the Father, did not receive?  Jesus said himself that He did not know the day nor the hour of His return and He sits at the right hand of the Father!  If that is the case, can someone prophesy without the aid of the Holy Spirit?  Any Christian that answers in the affirmative needs to search the scriptures!

No one can prophesy unless they are inspired by the Holy Spirit.  There are no space aliens that came down to give revelation to man- and if there are aliens, even they are subject to the Almighty God!  The bible says that the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and everything in it (Psalms 24:1), the bible also says that the Lord created the ENTIRE UNIVERSE just by speaking (Hebrews 11:3) so if there is any intelligent life in the universe other than what God created on earth, even they came from God! 

I don't put much stock in Mayan prophecies.  IF the world happens to end, it won't be because they predicted it but because God chose to send Jesus back to judge the earth.  If you want a view of the last days, read the bible- not the tabloids.  Make peace with God through Christ and it doesn't matter what happens on December 21st.  If Jesus returns, hooray!  There will be no more crying, suffering or death for those that have trusted in Him (Revelation 21:1-3).  We will be able to drink from the river of the water of life for free!  We will walk on streets of gold and finally get to that mansion that the Father has for us, that imperishable inheritance that Jesus has promised to all believers.  Mayan prophets?  I will trust the word of the real prophets instead, at least I know what their source is.
