Does Crop Circle Warn of End of the World?

Friday June 26, 2009
One of the latest entries of crop circle reports supposedly comes with an ominous warning - the end of the world. At least according to some, who see a large display in Wiltshire, UK as a warning to mankind.

The 400 foot long design depicts the mythical phoenix bird being reborn. Alarmists are also beginning to associate other recent events to the so-called end of the world, if you believe the theories that the Mayans accurately depicted the demise of mankind in 2012.

This is something that we all are going to have to tolerate for another couple of years, until we see 2013.

You can view the crop design at Does Phoenix Crop Circle Predict End of the World?, and be sure to give us your comments.

Is this something to fret over for the bored, or are you genuinely worried about the Mayan calendar ending in 2012?

I have just been reading about these new crop circles, and some of the comments made. I wonder if when people talk about the government hidding information from the people, if they are referring to the fine upstanding gentlemen who lead us, or the lying, cheatng, thieving individuals who feed us spin to detract us from other more sensative issues.
It also begs the question, are they referring to the leaders who insure that the nurses, and firmen who save countless lives on a daily basis are adequetly compensated for the long hours of duty they contribute, or the leaders who make sure that the pensioners in this country who have dutyfully worked hard all their lives , and in some cases fought for their country are siutibly compensated for what they have done, or are they reffering to the people who on a daily basis make so many honest mistakes.
I never thought I would say it, but forgive me for being ashamed to be british.

We should take seriously the things going on in our world, for our own personal sakes. There are too many people who “speak” out of ignorance or fear, not wanting to know that the world is more than they understand, and not wanting others to disagree with them. It’s easy to accuse others of greed, it’s not easy to accept that ONLY the plants shaped in these formations are biolgically changed, which IS compelling evidence! CropCircleConnector.com has great summaries and links about crop circles. Also, there ARE Bible believing people that think Christ’s return is near, what most people think of as the “end of the world,” not just the “mystery religions.” In the end, it’s in our own best interest to think about this because, if it is true, what will become of each of us then?

(4) Steven says:

I agree with ryker15. That is, assuming these crop circles are presumed to be from an alien intelligence. I am more prone to believe they are man made hoaxes. Why wouldn’t a superior intelligence contact us by radio, or display a message across all media? Or, land a ship on the Whitehouse lawn? How many of these “end of the world” predictions have come and gone? I worry more from countries like Korea and Iran with nuclear capabilities and mad men at their helm pushing the button and wasting us all.

Concerning the crop circle; Phoenix Rising:
Scripture says , No man nor any angel will know the day or the Hour of His coming but God alone. (that is a paraphrase)
since I believe our UFO’s are either fallen angels (demons)(the Bad guys) or Messengers(good guys) (Angels in good standing) from God toward Christ’s return on Eart6h soon… that pretty well covers it.
every one says It is the end the world BUT scripture plainly says that WE will bind satan and his cohorts to the PIT for 1,000 years…then we will have a millinium yet to come, with Christ ruling the earth rather than Satan (history from christ to now….)
The earth has a long ways to go before the very end… seek christ while you can… it is all laid out in Gods word… study it, who could know better than the creator who knows all things? Have a good day. Rosehippi

(6) SUZIE says:

It’s the Cabal up to their old tricks again, got to keep the fear fresh. Nothing like a good scare to keep the dumb humans in line.

This crop circle does NOT have the energy signal that the true cicles have, the SV made ones stopped years ago.

As long as Earth Man is kept in fear, they will never be ready to meet the SVs and find out the true, loving and kind agenda that awaits them.

(7) luchethel says:

If you research the vast abundance of crop circle files, compare locations, dates, etc., you will see it is impossible for these intricate designs to be made in the short length of time, all over the world. Humans have are arrogant, conceited, self-absorbed entities who believe they are superior and that only exist on this one, tiny planet in the vast universe. We will know the truth soon, and all those who believe in the lies and misinformation of the Illuminati will have a rude awakening…soon. Better to start dealing with issues of fear, shame, guilt, forgiveness..love, now.

The whole idea of 2012 is, in my pespective is the samr as the millennium bug, and othe so call fables.
Personly I think these people, most of them anyway, are just trying to create a issue out of some that is not there.
Grant it is an intresting thought, however to focus your whole life on something that is not real is chaseing dreams and fansties.
I may be wrong but untill I see something more Im standing where I am.

(9) PKRIPPER says:

I saw Sean David Morton at a UFO expo last summer and he has a very interesting take on these crops circles….indicating they are a communication from some higher power, whether it be Mother Earth, Aliens, the Source.

I agree some are hoaxes, but I think there is more to this than meets the eye.

what the mayans have predicted is sure to come true…..

Can we please get over this crop circle nonsense? They are hoaxes. There are no mystical properties involved. There is nothing otherworldly involved. They are hoaxes. Please move on to something credible. Bill

Hoaxes or not, I find them interesting. Man made or something else they are fascinating.

I am a Catholic, and for one does not believe in pagan prophecies. There is a saying in the bible that says, “we will not know the day or the hour.” This is just another hoax. No one can predict the end of times.

(16) col k says:

this “end of the world by 2012″ is BS. the pic look real and aliens are the only explanation. no man can do all that with out being seen.

(17) Augustus says:

The Phoenix is the ancient Egyptian symbol of continuous re-birth. What the hell is so scary and “ominous” about that that? I think it is a rather exciting concept myself, since it implies that there is really no end of anything.

(18) ryker15 says:

GEOMO…..Come on dude, you can come up with a better come back then that! Yes i do believe in a power from another world besides earth…that power is call God…you know the one who gave his son for us..yea that one! Wasn’t there a documentary once where two or maybe it was three, that claimed they started the whole hoax? Another thing..there are many other nations that have fields of crops to be vandalized. Why are most in England? mmm? Yes there are inteligent beings in the heavens above friends…there God and his angels along with a few bad ones floating around somewhere…my suspecion is some are in the fields making fake wonders to deceive mankind! Seems to me there doing a great job at it to.:) Think i will keep my feet planted for now!

(19) anonymouse says:

yes, me think crop circles lately are def definitely end of world variety!

look at jellyfish crop circle!
have anyone ever heard of
“man of war” jellyfish?
or box jellyfish?
can kill a man in 2 minutes!

people think aliens are nice friendly guys, but they feed off of BLOOD!
blood of cattle, blood of humans…

you can laff and complain at me, but when everything happens, you will be very very sad bcuz you dont listen to me!

crop circles are filled with masonic symbolism and languages…you must study the symbology to unlock the encryption… except the codes are written in books only 35th degree masons can look at…

phoenix is masonic symbol for united states…
the US must be incinerated (nuclear) in order for masonics (trilaterlists) to take over world and rise from ashes…

yes it is warning and a sign of their intentions of things to come…

June 27, 2009 at 7:11 pm
(20) Stevie says:

There is always someone predicting the end of the world because they are sick and tired of this life and want Jesus or some alien to come and end it all. My X wife is convinced that when Jesus returned, trumpets would blast from heaven and she would rise up through the clouds to sit on the right hand side of God. I wonder how many chairs they have up there? It pretty much has to do with religeon. Either our own or the Mayan’s or whomever. If we did away with religeon then we could go about taking care of our own lives and be responsible for our actions.

i don’t know about the end of the world. But those guys are doing some pretty fine art these days albeit at the expense of the land owner. Maybe a new artistic genre? Land graffiti?

(22) shirley says:

I think of the German-American lady called Maria Reiche who in 1940’s devoted her life to the mystery of the Peuvian ‘Nazca’ lines seen from the air. Lots of animals and the large condor bird was discoverd somehow had astronomical connections. I am sure she would have been very interested in crop circles that are made so expertly silently without anyone seeing anybody doing them. I know there will be the tricksters its amazing they are not caught in action.

June 28, 2009 at 1:27 pm
(23) Augustus says:

During the European Middle Ages, the Catholic Church Decided it need a definitive stand on supernatural creatures, Angles, demons, Satan, ect.. and set up an enclave of Bishops to study the problem. Within 50 or 60 years or so, they were discussing how many Angles could dance on the head of a pin! Observation: none.
Conclusion: Multitudes of miniature Angles!

During the 1920’s, the international scientific community decided to try to determine through reasoning alone, the nature of the planet Venice. The strongest telescopes in the world showed only a white disk. The scientists reasoned that this must be due to a terrific amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. Hence, the surface must be hot and swampy. Therefore, there must be huge ferns growing on the surface, and where there are huge ferns, there must be dinosaurs roaming the planet.
Observation: You couldn’t see a thing.
Conclusion: Dinosaurs!

We now know differently, about the planet Venus, at any rate.

From what I have read so far, about UFO’s, crop circles, cryptology, ect.. people are doing the same thing here they have always done when confronted with things they don’t understand. They learn everything they can about the phenomenon; often taking hearsay evidence as fact, cause we all know that “farmer Joe,” from down the way, doesn’t lie, and then embellish on the facts so they can make some sort of sense of it. Most of you people are simply reading things into this crop circle, that simply are not there!

P.S The actual, historical, Year of the Phoenix, is coming up soon, or so I have been told, and I for one am looking forward to it!

(24) Michael says:

Yeah,yeah,yeah, the end of the world– are we still so primitive as to believe this dribble — one question — why weren’t the mayans able to predict their own demise but they can predict everyone else’s? Anyone who believes this *&^%$# should have the word ‘dummy’ tattooed on their arm — and reflect back on the tattoo in 2013

(25) Edward Peter Swynar says:

I have a personal pet theory about crop circles that I only WISH was formulated by me, alone…alas & alack, I overheard it from a couple of rather vocal & enthusiastic university students in Maine some years ago, yet I still find it compelling…

To whit: crop circles are being deliberately created by some orbiting U.S. “Star Wars” satellite. The accuracy & precision of their work is confirmed & conveyed to the controlling authorities by way of press releases & reports of their discovery. All of the Mayan / alien / etc. connections associated with same serve as mere pleasant diversions to the powers-that-be, and merely re-enforce the fact that nobody has a clue on earth as to their origin—save for the military folks who are toying with us in their creation, and privately celebrating the precision and accuracy of their work…

No, Im not worried at all about crop circles, these things have been seen for thousands of years.If anything,I find them interesting.

(27) Sean says:

Every generation has its share of folks who are arrogant enough to believe that they are “special”, receive messages from higher powers and can predict to the day how we will all be lost.

The dates usually pass without incident. Stories are then concocted about how the “disaster” was averted through “happy thoughts”. Then another date for global catastrophe is set and the gullible run to build their underground shelters all over again.

Why can’t people just enjoy the time alloted to them? 2012 will come and go. You are here NOW. Play with your kids. Have a beer. Take a course. In short, live.

(28) desmond says:

“I have put before you a blessing or a curse.” that’s what God says in the Bible, and it can apply to the coming ten years. We are in a fascinating decade of social change, which will go either to the good or the bad. “In my Fathers house there are many mansions.” Maybe when he said this Jesus meant that there were many other peoples that we don’t yet know about.
The crop circles are beautiful to look at, and could hardly be made in seven hours in the dark by tricksters, they bring together people of many backgrounds as equals, all learning and having fun out of them, that seems like a highly intelligent project to me.

(29) Lynn D. says:

And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR (satan), the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all (true believers in Christ) once conducted ourselves in the lust of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. Ephesians 2:3 There you have it. Crop circles are made by the prince of the power of the air, Satan and his fallen ones. There is no way hoaxers can “fake” biological changes within plant stems only contained within the circles. In addition, some of the circles are done in ancient, unknown languages. If you believe the Word of God, and are watching the signs as we are commanded by Him in Luke 21:36, then you should know that we are indeed living in the last hour before His initial return to collect the faithful and wise before the Wrath of God is poured out on a blind and brainwashed population, along with their NWO leaders. The only way to be ready for Jesus is to humble yourselves and REPENT, turn from your pet sins and follow Him….(read your Bible, & stand on His Word no matter what others think of you.)
