In the second case, what will necessarily make the planet disappear will occur in a long time, something like a billion years, when the Sun is stronger and causes the evaporation of the Earth's oceans, causing a devastating greenhouse effect, transforming the planet into a scorching hell, lethal to any known species of life: a dead, lifeless planet.

Note: For my part, I do not believe in this second hypothesis for the simple fact that man has absolutely no real condition to evaluate the future, even more a “future” like that: a billion years...

At the Rio+20 global meeting, in June/2012, in Rio de Janeiro, Nobel Prize winners and other scientists presented a statement demanding action from all governments in order to start employing methods and actions so that world development is sustainable — in fact, sustainability is the buzzword, especially among ecologists. Climate scholars point out that if global warming continues at its current pace, a planetary catastrophe will occur in the future.

The interesting thing is that there is another current of similar thinkers stating that what can cause human catastrophe is the opposite, that is, a new planetary glaciation.

There is no doubt that man has been disrespecting nature for decades. However, along with the indisputable need to change the way in which human material needs are met, it will also be better to take care of moral conduct, with regard to respect for God and neighbor, as much as possible, as Jesus taught and exemplified.

Mayan Calendar

The Mayan calendar is a system of distinct calendars and almanacs used by the Mayan civilization of pre-Columbian Meso America (Mexico and some Central American countries) and by some modern Mayan communities in the highlands of Guatemala.

Such calendars can be synchronized and linked, their combinations giving rise to additional, longer cycles. The foundations of the Mayan calendars are based on a system that was in common use in the region, dating back to at least BC.

Because of its linear nature, the long count could be extended to refer to any date in the distant future or past.

Considering that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, hundreds of predictions emerged that this would be the year of the end of the world...

Regarding the Mayan Calendar, Divaldo Franco, the renowned Brazilian medium, blessed spiritist exhibitor, who has already given lectures on five continents, was in 14 European countries from May 9 to June 14 of this year (2012), as a guest from dozens of cities, in which he exposed various themes, always from a spiritist perspective.

In Belgium he gave a lecture on the “Planetary Transition” (title of a book he psychographed, spiritually authored by Manoel Philomeno de Miranda). In response to various questions and requests, with the security and competence that are peculiar to him, he made judicious comments about “the end of the world”, or the “extinction of earthly humanity”. He focused, in particular, on some comments on the Mayan Calendar.

Some excerpts from the aforementioned conference, in particular, on the Mayan Calendar:

The extinction of the planet Earth, reported at various times throughout its history, the Mayan Calendar, composed of cycles and the understanding of the Mayan civilization that, according to scholars, inform that the Mayans did not have the understanding of the planet's extinction, but of the closure of one cycle, entering another at the same time.

By the way, about the Mayan Calendar, which has been extensively commented on in recent times, suggesting the extinction of the planet Earth, Divaldo said that according to serious studies there is no indication that can say that the Earth will become extinct as many imagine.

What there is, he said, is the change of a cycle, as the Mayan Calendar is based on cycles, periods and eras. In this year of 2012, a cycle is coming to an end, with the beginning of another one gradually without any interruption of continuity. He pointed out that what is on the verge of extinction is the lower negative moral world, giving way to lofty attitudes based on love.

For that, chosen spirits, morally prepared to help man to make this transition, or coming from other Orbs, are returning to Earth,

Spiritism

Spiritism says that the planet Earth, currently a world of trials and expiations, in the future will become a world of regeneration, inhabited by a happy humanity, which respects the Laws of God.

- In chap. III, no. 19, of The Gospel According to Spiritism, by Allan Kardec, there is a record of communication in 1862 by the Spirit Saint Augustine:

1 – “Earth is not a primitive world, but one of trials and atonements.”

2 – “In the planetary whirlwind there are regenerating worlds, transition between those of expiation and the happy ones; there, there is already the dawn of happiness; although suffering still exists, it is no longer covered by the anguish of expiation: fewer diseases, absence of slavery, misery and hunger, education is for everyone and the priority is for Evangelization in Christian morality”.

3 – “The Earth has already reached the stage where it will be promoted (to a regenerated world)”. (!!!)

Everywhere Spiritism records that Protecting Spirits have been saying that “the times have come”, confirming the words of Saint Augustine:

1. The Spirit of Truth, in The Gospel According to Spiritism, chap. XX, item 5.

“God proceeds, at this moment, to take a census of His faithful servants and has already marked with His finger those whose devotion is only apparent, so that they do not usurp the wages of the cheerful servants, for to those who do not retreat from their tasks is that He will entrust the most difficult posts to the great work of regeneration.”¹

2. Emmanuel Spirit, On the Way to Light (A Caminho da Luz), chap. XXV, 1_st ed., 1939, FEB.

“The passing century will carry out the division of the sheep from the great flock. A storm of bitterness will sweep across the Earth. ... After the darkness there will be a new dawn. Consoling lights will envelop the whole orb regenerated in the baptism of suffering. ... Let us not forget Jesus, whose infinite mercy, as always, will be the immortal light of the future dawn, made of peace, fraternity and redemption.

3. Still the Spirit Emmanuel, in The Reformer (O Reformador), January/1940, FEB.

We can also advance that, in the spiritual planes closest to Earth, nuclei devoted to good and truth are organized, under the aegis of the Lord, in order to prepare the expected evangelical mentality for the future millennium after the great harvest in that the orb will have to renew its characters.

Conclusion

When moral progress equals and even surpasses the current great human material progress, it will certainly promote the Earth to a world of regeneration, with humanity starting a new cycle of evolution.

This will even mean “the end of the present materialistic world”.

Perhaps the multiplied daily collective deaths that are currently observed can be confirmation of the prophesied predictions of scourges. Maybe...

The love and wisdom of God, granting us the charitable government of the Master Jesus, signal that the Great Shepherd takes care of his flock: us!

The emigration of Spirits, whether to better worlds or to lower worlds, far from being punishment, even less arbitrary attitude, contemplates action and reaction, planting and harvesting - merit, in short -, all this clearly established in the wise Law of Divine Justice.

Those who are exiled to lower worlds, as those of the Adamic race were once on Earth, while they will bring progress there, helping the humanities there, sooner or later will change their behavior, understanding and thanking the Father for the kindness in granting them such a condition of individual progress. At that moment they will be able to transfer again, only to a happier life.

That said, whoever wants to know the address of the future, or future reincarnations, consult and check the infallible passport of conscience...
