What is the greatest disaster that will mark the end of the world? Is it the loss of human life? Is it the massive and unprecedented wreckage of this beautiful world? Why are some human beings afraid of an impending doomsday? The world will certainly end some day, according to many religious faiths and civilizations. Whether the world ends in December 2012 or later is not something that anyone can predict accurately. Some people in the world are preoccupied by thoughts of the end and are actively discussing the various disaster scenarios. The physical end of all human life is indeed a terrible outcome. But there is something even more terrible.
In the act of fearing the abrupt and disastrous end of his physical life, Man has paid little or no attention to his spiritual well-being. There is a spirit within Man that will outlive his destroyed body. And the spirit must merge with the Great Eternal Spirit, who is God, in order for it to live eternally. This can happen only if Man connects with God by seeking him and living for him. Man must turn away from self and focus on the eternal. If Man fails to connect with God through either disbelief or disobedience he will most certainly perish both physically and spiritually. There is little hope for such a man even if doomsday does not happen in his lifetime.
