I don't think most preppers believe 12-21 is the end of the earth, some may believe it's the end of an age on earth. I think most preppers in the USA are preparing for various natural diasters, such as drought, rising food costs, financial breakdowns and either military rule or riot rule. Many of us take the Bible as truth and we read about Moses convincing Egypt to prepare and have seven years worth of food and water on hand for its' citizens, and enough to barter with various other tribes outside of it's city. Preppers don't want anything bad to happen, but they want to provide for basic necessities in case they do.
