Strayed off topic about the olympics but....The end of the world...2012? Maybe before that, as a possible new-cold war may emerge...

NASA predicts that the Sun will also reverse its own magnetic poles during 2012 as result of reaching the end of the current 11-year sunspot cycle.[12]

I also heard somewhere that NASA corrected something to do with the way they take weather measurments and it pretty much illiminated global warming completely. This sort of thing could have a similar effect on global warming.

The Antichrist is meant to pave the way for the second coming of Jesus and does not cause the end of the world.

So Jesus causes the end of the world? Isn't there supposed to be an enormous blood bath?

The second coming of Jesus is the end of the world essencially.

Most christians believe that there will be 7 years leading up to the second coming of Christ in which there will be "tribulations".
It varies depending on different peoples interpritations of Revalation.

Im pretty sure that an Antichrist is never mentioned in the Bible but rather it mentions a "Beast" with good people skills and very likeable. Me and my supervisor have a bit of a joke about this since google fits the desciption of the beast perfectly.

No. The magnetic field has nothing to do with the rotation of the planet around it's axle (nor with the position of that axle) but with the makeup of the mantle (which has many independently rotating areas).
