It’s fun to observe that the millenarians had made a big fuss about the end of the world on December 21, 2012 for some time, and the great ‘doomsday’, December 21, 2012, came and went without ending the world, but the boastful millenarians never showed up to make any explanation as to why the world did not end!

There are some millenarians who still believe that the world will end soon and, so, we must live a pious life and be prepared to be taken ‘alive’ to the higher world!
