Happy reading folks, most prophecies from cultures worldwide are similiar.

Mayan:
"It is said, but who really knows, if it will be a storm or if it will be the sun, which will burn us, which will destroy us. Fast, very fast the end will reach us. It is said, it will only last as long as dawn lasts, as long as the sun needs to reach the treetops. Fast it will be. And nothing will be left of us. One hour and we are all gone.

Hopi:
The period of this age will close by the gourd of ashes which will glow brighter than the Sun.

Ah crap, I thought this was going to be prophecies about us, like:

"Dulouz will become a candidate for the next edition of "The Big Book of British Smiles" by inept Filipino dentists."

or

"Rapier will be eaten by wild beasts, birds of prey, and assorted carrion-eaters on his next eco-tour."

Well, golly. Most cultures which suffer natural disasters involving weather, fire, and water work weather, fire, and water into their end of the world prophesy. Most cultures also developed the pyramid too. And not because space aliens ran around the planet building pyramids. When you dump a bucket of sand on the ground, it forms a pyramid shape. Doesn't take a culture long to figure out the best way to build high is the stable pyramid shape. All cultures usually figure out the basics of physics and make similar judgments or mythologies about how the world work.

Hey, I saw it in a movie.

There is a lot of BS put out nowadays and some of it is just amusing. But there have always existed real seers and visionaries: (check out George Washington)a lot of prophecies have already been fulfilled, and have survived for centuries. Add to this the fact that many long-isolated cultures have striking similarities in their prophecies, but just use different images and words to illustrate them.

I neither believe nor do I discount them: but they do have value in the way they warn of possible dangers to the world and society. Their ultimate purpose is a helpful one I think.

I heard about a group of e-mail spammers that will e-mail a million people with a prediction that XYZ stock will go up in the next week, and e-mail another million that XYZ stock will go down in the next week.

If the stock goes up, they drop the second group, e-mail half of the first group a prediction that ABC stock will rise, and e-mail half that ABC stock will fall. The following week they e-mail 250,000 each that LMNOP stock will rise, or fall. Then 125,000 get each prediction about TUV stock, and then 62,500 each get the prediction about QRS stock.

After ten weeks they still have roughly a couple thousand people who have received ten accurate predictions in a row. If only 1% of those have been reading their spam, the firm now has 20 suckers ready and willing to open up their bank accounts when they receive the 11th e-mail.

NOT A BAD SCAM, I'D SAY

Nuclear destruction foretold in prophecies of many unrelated cultures:

Bible:
Rev 18:8 Therefore shall her [Babylon's] plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she [Babylon] shall be utterly burned with fire (Nuclear war): for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her [Babylon]. ^

Rev 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her [Babylon's] torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon [Babylon/USA], that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

Mayan prophecy:
"It is said, but who really knows, if it will be a storm or if it will be the sun, which will burn us, which will destroy us. Fast, very fast the end will reach us. It is said, it will only last as long as dawn lasts, as long as the sun needs to reach the treetops. Fast it will be. And nothing will be left of us. One hour and we are all gone.

Hopi:
The period of this age will close by the gourd of ashes which will glow brighter than the Sun.

Iroquois:
the battle between the white and the red serpents (USA & China/russia) would open slowly, then become so violent that the mountains would crack and the rivers would boil and the fish would turn up their bellies. He said that there would be no leaves on the trees in that area. There would be no grass, and strange bugs and beetles would crawl from the ground and attack both serpents. He said that a great heat would cause the stench of death to sicken both serpents.

he will be momentarily blinded by a light that is many times brighter than the sun. The light will be coming from the east to the west over the water

Apache

A great stench of death arose from the land... The sun seemed to be larger and more intense..the sky seemed to surge and huge holes began to appear. The holes tore with a thunderous sound, and the very Earth, rocks and soil shook.

George Washington 1777

"��Instantly a light as of a thousand suns (Nuclear explosions) shone down from above me and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America.

rapier, your recent posts make me ponder: have you always been this nutty and finally have decided to be open about it now on Dave's OR have you just recently become a paranoid man obessed with the end of civilization in one way or another?

The more I see of what is happening to the earth and how we are (not) responding, the more I think rapier is right.

I just received this article from my sister, it is from The Independent in the U.K. This should be so evident. That "toxic gumbo" in New Orleans, caused by chemicals, oil, and all of the wonderful pollutants we casually use on a daily basis- insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, etc, that are in the stores and garages and warehouses all over all of our cities and have now washed into the streets of New Orleans, is now being pumped back into Lake Ponchetrain and the Mississippi River. And what of the pictures of whole oil platforms washed up onto beaches? Where is the oil they had in/on them, and the pipelines running to and from them? What is currently happening to the Gulf of Mexico?
