122112 Mayan Calendar?

122112 - Mayan Calendar?
In light of the attention given to the date of 122112 I decided to search the Bible using this number. The first 122112 I found was the Bible book 12 chapter 21 verse 12, (2 Kings 21:12). I further continued to the next book counting in 12’s (12, 24, 36…) and landed in Jeremiah. The next book, Zephaniah, did not have 12 chapters so I used chapter 2 verse 1 and also verse 12 (122112), and that was the formula for the books with less than 12 chapters. Here is the list of scriptures followed by a compilation of the passages:
2 Kings 21:12; Jeremiah 21:12; Zephaniah 2:1; Zephaniah 2:12; Galatians 2:1; Galatians 2:12; 1 Peter 2:1; 1 Peter 2:12 (NIV 84)
Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring such disaster on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle…. O house of David, this is what the Lord says:“‘Administer justice every morning; rescue from the hand of his oppressor the one who has been robbed, or my wrath will break out and burn like fire because of the evil you have done—  burn with no one to quench it….Gather together, gather together, O shameful nation,… …… “You too, O Cushites, will be slain by my sword.”…Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also….Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group….Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind….Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
The message is clear. God is getting ready to intervene directly and aggressively in the affairs of this world, particularly, to bring justice over His people. The message in the Old Testament speaks specifically to the Jews in their land, and in the New Testament it is for all those who confess that Jesus is The Lord. The message is the same. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Let us stop the hypocrisy and let us correct our conduct while we still have a chance, time is running out.
