In political theory and theology, to immanentize the eschaton means trying to bring about the eschaton (the final, heaven-like stage of history) in the immanent world. It has been used by conservative critics as a pejorative reference to certain utopian projects, such as socialism, communism, and transhumanism.[1] In all these contexts it means "trying to make that which belongs to the afterlife happen here and now (on Earth)" or "trying to create heaven here on Earth."

Consider yourself "gotten back to".
I guess the idea with "immanentize the eschaton" is to bring about a heavenly state here on Earth by way of Armegaddon or similar means. Are you postulating that maybe the creation of the Israeli state was part of a decades-long plan to fulfill what TPTB understood as divine Apocalypse? I would think that Deity can handle things like Apocalypse on His own, but then again, I could argue that it was always intended for humans to fulfill that task.
But that's a big bag of monkeys deserving of it's own thread. I see how you were applying the concept to this thread, care to expound with your own words?
EDIT: The concept of "immanentize the eschaton" really reminds me of Nerv and Seele's separate plans to initiate "Third Impact" in the anime series "Neon Genesis Evangelion".edit on 10-12-2012 by Heliophant because: (no reason given)

But then why didn't Y2K pan out or 1999 for that matter?
Neon Genesis rocks by the way...way to overt on religious themes mixed with Kaiju though...
Now you got me thinking that there will be an actual Leviathan or Behemoth!

That's what I figured you were getting at, but wanted you to be the one to say it. It's a very valid point.

I addressed this (rather ambiguously) earlier in the thread in This Post.

Such an awesome series. EoE was awesome as well. But these new "Rebuild of Evangelion" feature films coming out of Japan are absolutely stunning!
Now you got me thinking that there will be an actual Leviathan or Behemoth!
Kinda like Final Fantasy VII?

However... My belief is the hype has been manufactured to see how much fear they can instill in the people. More like a social experiment to see which of the sheeple actually fear the end. I believe this experiment is a mind game (which, we know they love playing) and has been in full effect since the early 50's.
I feel that just like on 9/11 - when the time comes for a false flag it will be with surprise when everyone has their guard down.
Which after 2012, people will be breathing a sigh of relief and getting back into their comfort zones. So expect something in 2013 or 2014 which will catch all us completely off guard.
Hmmm... Now that I think of it Y2K was a panic situation that led to extreme societal relief after nothing happened (people even felt foolish for "preparing"), then 21 months later 9/11 occurred and everyone went into panic mode.
Just a thought.

I really don't think 2012 will be a doomsday all by itself...

My advice? Stop worrying about some mystical 2012 event that probably won't happen and, instead, be on the lookout for HUMANS that might want to do something on that date.

The only reason 12/21/12 is hyped AT ALL is because it breaks down to 9. Stupid 'secret societies' love their stupid numerology.
1+2 2+1 1+2 = 3 + 3 +3 = 9
3 x 3 x 3 = 27 = 2 + 7 = 9
12+21+12 = 45 = 4 + 5 = 9
12 x 21 x 12 = 3024
[30 - 24 = 6]
30/6 = 5 24/6 = 4
again
4 + 5 = 9

The commutative property says that the order in addition and multiplication does not matter. The associative property states that grouping location does not matter. The distributive property shows how multiplication of sums takes place. Although these properties or laws may seem obvious, they are basics of Algebra operations.
