With large amounts of data related to the world destruction and end theories, the name Quetzalcoatl has a special significance. It is a common belief of majority of world religions that someone authoritative personality previously been on the face of earth shall return one day, and most probably that is going to be the end of the world. Christians, Jews, Muslims share such a belief, and so did the ancient religions such as that of Mayans and Aztecs. Let’s try to understand the figure of Quetzalcoatl, and why the name has been associated so much with the doomsday predictions.
Quetzalcoatl is a Mexican-American deity whose name comes from the American Indian language and has the meaning of "feathered-serpent", the quetzal being a bird of extremely bright feather native to Central American and coatl being the Nahuatl (the indigenous language of highland Mexico) word for snake. This combination of air creature and earth creature is found in the oldest creation myths of Mesoamerica. Quetzalcoatl was said to have once taught the people of Central and South America about establishing a culture that would flourish for hundreds of years. When he left, he promised to someday return. This god is related to wind, of Venus, of the dawn, of merchants and of arts, crafts and knowledge. The myth of Quetzalcoatl was not limited to the cultures of highland Mexico. In the southern regions of Mesoamerica the Maya also had a similar deity known as Kukulcan, their name for the "feathered serpent."
It is believed that the Indian people of central Mexico called Toltecs had a two opposite entity balance belief system Quetzalcoatl's opposite is Tezcatlipoca, who, in one legend, made Quetzalcoatl to exile. Other legend says, he left willingly on a raft which was made of snakes, but promised to be back at some time. The Axtec people turned him into a symbol of death and resurrection and a patron of priests. Aztecs when adopted the belief of Toltecs, they crafted out two gods out of Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl, which were opposite but equal in powers; Quetzalcoatl was referred to as White Tezcatlipoca, to differ him from the black Tezcatlipoca.
Some Mormons scholars, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, believe that Quetzalcoatl, as a white, bearded God who came from the sky and promised to return, was actually Jesus Christ. According to the Book of Mormon, Jesus visited the American natives after his resurrection. Several researches have tried to correlate Quetzalcoatl with Jesus. Unsurprisingly, there is definitely a deep resemblance in both the prophecies conceptually.
And historical, religious, scientific with astronomical indications of the world coming to an end in 2012, there's also an archaeological grounds suggesting the very same. It is thought because of the monument Six. During road digging in 1960 in area controlled by Mexico there was a find in shape of a stone tablet. It didn't sustain the looting and the whole site became the part of the highway. Interestingly the left over parts of the tablet contained the date 2012. Moreover the inscription also tells about Bolon Yokte that he is supposed to come by 2012. Bolon Yokte was a Mayan god who is linked to creation and war; return of Quetzalcoatl is what signifies because of this find.
Let us try to relate the facts and make sense out of information overload. First, the Mayans, Aztecs, and Toltecs believed in a powerful God who promised to return back. The Christians await the return of Jesus and the Rapture in which all the Christians will be whisked into heaven and a war against evil and good will take place on Earth. Muslims await the coming of Jesus, Antichrist and also the Mehdi. Scientific predictions of a great meteor clash come in. Then there’s a Mayan Long Calendar that ends in 2012 and Mayans who have been credited heavily for their accuracy, this in fact converges all the theories, predictions and prophecies that is supposed to take place in December 2012.
To summarize the deductions, there’s someone who is going to return to Earth and mark the end. All destructions and havocs will be a resultant to set an end to the evil prevailing so as to start a new beginning. Logically speaking there has to be a start and an end to everything. This also applies to the system of which we are part of. To believe in the diverse theories relating to how it would happen that flood the media is an individual’s discretion, however one thing which is common in indications of the end of the world is the return of questzalcoatl.
