December 21, 2012 End of the World Prediction

This is a very unusual post of mine. Please don't get scared or anything, I am just stating exactly what is on my mind right now. This morning I have felt a slight earthquake. When I was drinking my coffee and preparing for my everyday routine, something came into my mind. I was wondering if December 21, 2012 is the date of the end of the world; then, a question pop out "what will I do?". I was fascinated by this idea that the end of the world has a schedule and a date. I am wondering what GOD is trying to say to us by this. It is like saying "hey, you'll die tomorrow so kill someone and say your prayers this evening and ask the Lord God for forgiveness. So you can go to heaven when you die". I am not fond of reading bible, but I remember this verse clearly that has the thought of the end of the world will come when nobody knows it, something like that. It runs through my mind every now and then. I do not know if just misunderstand the phrase. What I understand from the phrase is that, when you die you will not know it. Only God knows when will you die. When he is going to end the life of his children, we better get ready for that time. I am not certain if it is on December 21 2012 or any date God would want it to be. All we can do is to be ready spiritually. But this 3 days of darkness thingy also caught my attention. When I was 9 yrs old or younger I was taught by my grandfather something about the "Secret of Fatima". He always utters those words to me every now and then and tells us what will happen and what can we do about it. My grandfather is a very spiritual man he always reads the bible and knows how to defend his faith. Back to this 3 days of darkness thing that is blubbering all over the internet for a while, is giving me this headache. This could be the nightmare I am dreaming about when I was on my third grade in grade school. My Grandpa would always say, only the blessed candle will lit on these days of darkness. I remember we use to have this very big candle that was blessed and my grandfather used it for almost 3 years when he is reciting the rosary, by that you can tell how big it was. We were supposed to use it as he said it was coming. I probably sound crazy to you by now, cause my grandpa sound crazy to me by then. But we do not know how it will happen and when it will happen. We better get ready emotionally, physically and mostly spiritually.
