This book is an important update to Robert Powell's research as presented in his book Christ and the Maya Calendar. He focuses in particular on two significant prophecies by Rudolf Steiner from 1909 and 1919 about the second coming of Christ. He also considers the contributions of Daniel Andreev, Jeane Dixon and Judith von Halle, applying astrological rules and the ideas of astrosophy (star wisdom) to confirm the accuracy of Steiner's statements. He argues that great hope for humankind is offered by the return of Christ, an event from which human beings can find inner strength and guidance as humanity pass through the trials of 2012.
