Apocalypse Myths

The end of the world in today’s society is all around us. From the devils face appearing in the smoke and ash cloud surrounding the World Trade Center, to Syrian’s president being compared to the anti-Christ. The mass exodus of the people of Syria to Europe. The mass exodus had placed a strain on the countries allowing the refugees in. The countries that would not allow the refugees in stated it was because the countries are Christian and did not want to lose their faith.
Russian leader Vladimir Putin is trying to conquer the lands that his country lost in the past 50-100 years. All of these examples are the beginnings of the end. The immense firepower from the rocket barrages can be seen as the fire from Black Surt during the final battle of Ragnarok
In the Native American Sioux mythology Iktomi (spider) tells the tribes of the east, west, north and south of a cunning liar. This white liar will trick the native tribes and destroy them. A lot of people have voiced their opinion of President Obama and compared him to a liar who is stealing America. On Facebook, I have seen post that explain he forced medical care onto America and now no one can afford proper treatment. Also that the president has made peace with two of America’s cold war enemies (Cuba and Iran) in illegal ways.
People have used modern interpretations of explaining how they see the end of the world. I wonder what those same people will do when they wake up and find it is a new day? The end of the world as we know it…. Apocalypse is upon us.
