Christianity “This is a very ignorant interpretation – that some calendar ends, then you need to wait for the end of the world. Any calendar that hangs on the wall has an end … You can on this reason to panic at least every year.

Christianity categorically denies this, “- told RIA Novosti the rector of the church of the Holy Martyr Tatiana at Moscow State University, ex-head of the press service of the Patriarch of Moscow Archpriest Vladimir Vigilyansky. According to scripture, the hours of the end of the world nobody knows except God the Father, and the most important sign of the end of light – this is when “they will betray you to torment and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My (Jesus Christ) name. ” “Yes, we have already entered apocalyptic times, but that’s only Start. Millennia can pass to the final stage. But the fact that it will be – we Christians believe in it. Just not now, “- added the clergyman. He also called the current state humanity, abandoning the traditions of their ancestors, “teenage” and emphasized the “suicidal nature” of modern culture when not “prospects of doing for the future” and people live “momentary pleasure, “while the planet Earth is already very worn out.” Therefore, according to Vigilyansky, “the predictions of the end of the world lie on psychologically prepared soil. “Secretary General of the Conference Catholic bishops of Russia priest Igor Kovalevsky advised Russian citizens to “be prudent” and recalled New Testament phrase: “The day of the Lord will come as a thaw at night.” “Then is unexpected, we do not know when it will come. Therefore christian should always be ready for this. For us, the day of the Lord is a time of joyful meeting with Jesus Christ, not a time of despair, “- said Kovalevsky. Manager of the Russian United Union of Christians of the Evangelical Faith (ROSHVE – Pentecostal Protestant organization) Bishop Konstantin Bendas called on those “who store salt, matches, or try to lower in the last the remaining days all the accumulated funds – do not do these nonsense, and come to the temple, to the house of worship, open the Holy scripture, weigh, rethink, reevaluate your own life. “Islam First Deputy Chairman and Chief of Staff The Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the European Part of Russia (DUMER) Damir Mukhetdinov told RIA Novosti that Muslims believe in the end of light, although on December 21, he is sure, no end to the earth there will be no story yet. According to him, so far no signs doomsday approaches described in sacred texts Muslims, not observed, “and probably for a long time, glory God will not be observed. “” The most important sign is how says the Prophet Muhammad: Judgment Day will not come until on the planet, on Earth there is at least one person who believes in God. And at billions of us believe in God … This is the main sign of the offensive Judgment Day, according to the teachings of our religion – Islam, “explained interlocutor of the agency. Mufti of Moscow and the central region, Chairman of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Chuvash (Central Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Russia) Albir Krganov confirmed that “the Qur’an says: yes, this day will come.” “But when – known only to the Almighty creator, and if someone speaks to this the subject, he simply comes up with himself, “the mufti is convinced. At the same time, theological thoughts about the end of the world, he said, can be useful to humans. “A man must remember that he passed day, your life will pass. When you leave this world, it’s will be the end of your world … The main thing is that a person about it thought: what did he do good, because it will be necessary stand before the Almighty, for all we will bear before God the answer, “Krganov said.

No end of the world in the next tens of billions of years is not expected, “- assured chairman of the Congress of Jewish Religious Organizations and associations of Russia Rabbi Zinovy Kogan. According to him, in the books Judaism, “nothing is said about the end of the world – it is only said that the messianic time will come when nations will hear and understand each other (maybe we are not far from this time). “” And that somewhere they take a flying airship for a sign of the end of the world and start to pray – this does not mean that it really is the end, “said Kogan. The rabbi also warned” hot heads, who want to get drunk and hooligan on the eve of the end of the world “that “he will not be – and they will have to pay on December 22nd.” “A 22 December 2012 will be as serene and frosty as 1 January 2013th.

It is estimated that approximately 20% of the population have heightened sense of anxiety, fear, suspiciousness, too superstitious … Such people can be easily robbed by manipulating rumors of an end. of the world, “said the forensic psychiatrist. The feeling of the end of the world is also typical for older people, said the chief psychiatrist of the country Zurab Kekelide. “Often people over 60 say” I’ll die soon, “but this is a subjective sensation, because people can live up to 80 years, “- he told RIA Novosti.
