Even though the Enemy continually seeks to discredit legitimate prophecy, the Lord has provided us the means to discern the truth. But do we really need any more words from the Lord other than what we find in the Bible? Remember:

He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. (Mark 12:27, NKJV)

And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” (Exodus 3:14, NKJV)

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8, NKJV)

For the word (logos) of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12, NKJV)

The words (rhema) that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:63, NKJV)

The Lord communicates to us through both His written word (the Bible), and His spoken word. This has always been God’s plan. Even before there was a “written word,” there were stories that were passed down through the generations, and the Lord also continually spoke to His people. But do we really need a current spoken word from God? Absolutely! You couldn’t possibly maintain a relationship with your finance through letters that were written to her mother long before she was born.

God is the “God of the living,” and the eternal God of the present. God is continually speaking, but we are NOT listening:

For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, Nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him. You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, Who remembers You in Your ways. (Isaiah 64:4-5, NKJV)

“Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the doom that I have pronounced against them; because I have spoken to them but they have not heard, and I have called to them but they have not answered.’” (Jeremiah 35:17, NKJV)

The Lord is continually speaking. If we are really listening, we will hear, just like the magi (Matthew 2:1-12) who were in Babylon several thousand miles away, but read about the birth of Jesus in the stars. On the other hand, neither Belshazzar nor his “wise men” (also magi) were paying attention, even when an angel wrote a message on the wall (Daniel 5:1-30). The only reason the wise men were unable to interpret the writing was that they absolutely refused to listen to the Lord, but Daniel was listening, and was able to deliver the message.

Or consider all the messages the Lord gave to Ezekiel for people of foreign lands who would probably never hear them (Ezekiel 25:1-7, 28:1-19, 32:17-32). The Lord was actually speaking to them, but they wouldn’t have heard under any circumstances anyway, even if Ezekiel were to speak to them directly, face to face. The Lord is continually speaking, but people are only rarely listening.

The question is, are you listening? Have you made a legitimate request to the Lord which He has answered, but you have missed because you weren’t listening? Did He try to speak through a stranger, or a friend, or a child, or did He reveal something to you when you were reading His word, but you simply chose to ignore it? The Lord will answer your prayers, but you must be listening. Remember Balaam (Numbers 22:1-24:25). He was told definitely what the Lord wanted, but He chose to disobey and almost lost his life until the Lord spoke audibly to him through his donkey.

Are you listening, or are you waiting for a donkey to speak to you?

This is a new series (1-31) of Verse No. in the Bible versus the Quran.

Verse No. 31 in the Old Testament says: God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

Verse No. 31 in the New Testament says ‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.

Verse No. 31 in the Noble Quran says: but if you do (it) not and never shall you do (it), then be on your guard against the fire of which men and stones are the fuel; it is prepared for the unbelievers; those who reject faith.

————————

The verse No. 31 in the Old Testament is Genesis 1:31

The verse says: God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

Now, it is the sixth day of the creation of the heavens and the earth.

It seems likely that this sixth day was the longest day and it was full of activity.

Statistical study of the days of creation:

The sixth day of creation is described in seven verses of Genesis 1, from verse 24 to verse 31; and it took 285 words (10159 characters) to be described.

Verse-wise, word-wise and character-wise, the sixth day is the longest day ever in the process of the creation of the heavens and the earth.

The shortest days of the creation were the first day then the second day.

The first day is described in three verses (Genesis 1:3-5); and it took 51 words (216 characters) to be described.

The second day is described in three verses (Genesis 1:6-8); and it took 56 words (237 characters) to be described.

The third day is described in five verses (Genesis 1:9-13); and it took 120 words (518 characters) to be described.

The fourth day is described in six verses (Genesis 1:14-19); and it took 131 words (499 characters) to be described.

The fifth day is described in four verses (Genesis 1:24-31); and it took 103 words (439 characters) to be described.

It follows that the order of the days of the creation are the first, the second, the fifth, the third, the fourth then the sixth.

In other words, the first and the second days are the shortest days, then the fifth, the third and the fourth days are moderate days; and the sixth day is the longest one.  This statistics is done according to the count of the verses, words and characters of every day in NIV of the Bible.

Summary of the activity done in the sixth day of creation (Genesis 24-31)

24] And God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures …

25] God made the wild animals, the livestock according and all the creatures that move along the ground.

26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing…

27] God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

28] And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish and over the birds and over every living creature.

29] Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;

30] And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.

Hence, the activities of the sixth day include:

1) The Earth Produced living Creatures

2) Man was Created the Same Day that the Wild Animals Were

3) Man was made last of all the creatures.

4) Three domination: Be fruitful, Fill the earth, and subdue it and have dominion over the fish and over the birds and over every living thing.

5) The food of man and also the food of all the animals and all the birds is determined; it seems likely that the Bible is in favor of the vegetarians and even the wild animals’ food is the green plant (Are all the Beasts Vegetarians?).  Also, the Food of all Birds is Green Plant.

6) Man the Image of God. Has the Female Too the Image of God?

All of the above points are discussed in the articles 24-30

The verse No. 31 in the New Testament is Matthew 2:6

In the articles 26-30, Matthew 2:1-5 say:

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying: Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. He asked the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, where the Christ was to be born.

They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:

‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel. This is our topic, Matthew 2:6.

This is the second prophecy of Matthew about the Lord Jesus.

Who is this nameless prophet?  He is Micah who said:

Micah 5:2 (New International Version)

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.

Upon reading Micah 5, the smart reader will find that Micah is talking about:

1) The city of troops, we never have such city in the New Testament.

2) A ruler over Israel, and Jesus was never a ruler over Israel

3) she who is in labor gives birth and the rest of his brothers return, and who were the rest of Jesus brothers which return?

4) he will be their peace, when the Assyrian invades our land and marches through our fortresses, we will raise against him seven shepherds, even eight leaders of men; and this never happened to Jesus

5) etc.; read the whole passage and take your time.

For these reasons, the second prophecy of Matthew about the Lord Jesus is not valid..

Verse No. 31 in the Noble Quran is 2:24,

Chapter 2 is Surah AL-BAQARA (THE COW),

Verses 2:1-5 are talking about the believers. (articles 8-12)

Verses 2:6-7 are talking about the disbelievers. (articles 13-14)

Verses 2:8-20 are talking about the hypocrites. (articles 15-27)

The address of verses 2:21-24 is general to mankind.

In articles 28, verse 2:21 says:

O mankind! worship your guardian-lord, who created you and those who came before you, that you may have the chance to learn righteousness(so that you will be cautious)

In articles 29, verse 2:22 says:

Who (Allah) made the earth a resting place for you and the heaven a canopy and (who) sends down rain from the cloud then brings forth with it subsistence for you of the fruits; therefore do not set up rivals to Allah while you know.

In articles 30, verse 2:23 says:

and if ye are in doubt concerning that which we reveal unto our servant (Muhammad), then produce a Surah of the like thereof, and call your witness beside Allah if ye are truthful.

In this article, Verse 2:24 says:

but if you do (it) not and never shall you do (it), then be on your guard against the fire of which men and stones are the fuel; it is prepared for the unbelievers; those who reject faith.

The meaning of verse 2:24:

And if you do not, do what was mentioned because you are incapable, and you will not (a parenthetical statement), that is, never [will you be able to], because of its inimitability, then fear, through belief in God and [belief] that this is not the words of a human, the Fire, whose fuel is men, disbelievers, and stones, like their very idols, indicating that its heat is extreme, since it burns with the [stones] mentioned, unlike the fires of this world that burn with wood and similar materials; prepared, and made ready, for disbelievers, so that they are punished in it

In other words, the verse means: And if ye do it not-and you can never do it-) this you can never do and if you try you will never succeed (then guard yourselves against the Fire) if you are bent on not believing, for you should fear hell (whose fuel is men) the unbelievers, (and stones), (prepared) created, prepared and preordained (for disbelievers).

This designates that the verse is very confident that Mankind can never beat Allah’s challenge because the Quran is unique, incomparable , peerless and inimitable.

It is very premature to ask this question:

Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?

Wait and you will see.

How’d you like to live in an enenvironment where you are surrounded on all sides by your enemies? I am not talking about Israel, but the Hopi Indian tribe. Less than 7,000 Hopi live within the Navajo reservation: within! And the Navajo were their avowed enemies. Maybe it was that constant danger, that need to rely upon the spiritual that led them to such mystical lifestyles. And may they have been wrong on one of their prophecies.

Hopi tradition says that we are living in the Fourth World.

According to legend, this fourth world will end an America will be destroyed in a spiritual conflict. Could they have forseen the Islamic-Christian conflict? Were they fore-telling of the war on terror , and if not, what spiritual conflict could they be speaking? The ancient elders go on to say that the spiritual conflict will be fought with material means and the destruction will be caused by radiation.

Dirty bomb?

Nuclear war?

But, the end of the prophecy says that those who survive this conflict will institute a new united world without racial or ideological division and under the one power of the Creator! Now that sounds like something worth surviving for, doesn’t it. I just don’t like what the prophecy says we’ll have to go through, but then no one likes any kind of pain do they?

Mahendra Sharma was born in Northern India in a state called Rajasthan in 1967 in a Hindu family. He combines his Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Management with a two year astrological institution of India (1982-83) to prophecy about furure economic events. I have been a random follower of Mahendra for several years and have found his prophecies more than interesting- about 80-90% accurate. So, what’s this astrological guru saying about the future?

Try this one on in the wake of today’s economic climate.

“From May 2009, Sudden turn-around in USA stock markets will become a key reason of major changes in world economy. Money will follow again in street and everyone will start spending, people will find job easily and money will come in system. People will start buying again expensive cars, home and other articles. I am so much optimistic about it.”

He is so optimistic that he’s forecasting a 32,000 Dow in 59 months! That is a a 400% increase over 5 years. That’s a 32,000 Dow by December 2013. So, I guess December 21, 2012 isn’t a concern as far as Mahendra sees it. 

As the US$ was tanking over the last two years, Mahendra prophecied it would rise BIG TIME. March 18, of 2008 the US$ was at $71.09 and falling like a rock. Ten months later the US$ is at $84.70 and rising like a rocket. How’s he do this stuff- with the stars no less? Mahendra was also a supporter of the rise in gold eight years ago when it was at $250 an ounce. His current thoughts on gold are as follows.

“Gold and silver can enter the medium term positive cycle from January 20th and this positive cycle can last until 26 January 2009, but to get the 100% confirmation metals should close up very strongly on Tuesday. If this happens then we predict that gold and silver should move up more than five percent. We are more positive on metal stocks in coming time. In next five years metals stocks will perform far better than metals so I recommend metal investors to  keep accumulating metal stocks.”

Gold STOCKS vs. gold COINS is a major shift, but follow his “stock market general strategy”.

As to the rest of the world generally, Mahendra says, “I see Euro zone entering into most uncertain time. Future planetary movement indicating vertical split in European union with uncertainty and unrest in China. There will be many new banking scandals in Asia and an historic meltdown in real estate market in Middle East (we are expecting 80% fall in place like Dubai).”

So, his ultimate investing plan says, “Focus next fifty nine months on the US$ and stock markets!”

In these markets, who knows?  

Prophecy is happening daily in America. The events unfold as bible prophecy comes alive.

America has been the scene for generations of people who have witnessed prophecy unfolding. It is in America that the Great commission got another foot hold. From the corridors of Europe during World war II came the ending of spreading the gospel as Hitlers war machine took over the known world.

It was in this scene that America came to the rescue. From these steps during the war, America pushed along with her allies to stem the tide of the Nazi death machine. It was the allies who found the starving, persecuted, and walking Jewish people in the camps at the end of the war. It was an effort of Great Britain and America that brought the Jews to their homeland in Israel. There among the sands and between bitter rivals that hated her, Israel came into existence.

Thus the move of thousands of Jews from all over the world came overnight. The once persecuted jews looked to the homeland they were cast out of millenia ago. It was foretold they would be gathered back from all corners of the world. So the world beheld Biblical Prophecy being fulfilled. It was Gods will that Israel would rejoin the World community as a nation. God used America and her influence to help further this along.

Isaiah 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

Ezekiel 11:17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

Ezekiel 34:13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

Ezekiel 37:21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
So the prophets of old foretold of a time in the future when Israel’s dispersion would end. Today the result is an independent nation of Jewish people living in the middle easts only democracy.
America has had a big hand in keeping this nation afloat. When she need friends, America has been there.

It is true that not all Americans support Israel. But when Israel needs friends she can depend on most of the evangelical Christian to come to her aid. For the political aspects America has in recent years pushed Israel into some bad deals concerning peace with the Palestinians. It has been America with her peace accords convincing the leadership of Israel to give up land for peace. Now decades later, Israel is runnng out of land to give up for peace and they still have no peace.

*America was instrumental in helping to create the Israeli State
*America has been a friend to Israel
*America has also push Israel into some bad policy deals
*America pressured Israel to give up land for peace
*Israel’s land for peace dealing have brought nothing but death to the Jewish state.

America has been instrumental in bringing about the restoration and regathering of Israel. America also is responsible for pushing Israel into bad policy decisions. Oslo Peace accords pushed by America have been the main thrust to push Israel into peace treaties for land. Because America took this stance, other nations allied with American policies that were not in the best interests of Israel.

As a result the small Jewish state gave up land for peace concessions. As of this date, none of the peace concessions ever worked. Still, in the midst of this, Israel gave up more land, including the Gaza strip. Now, Israel’s enemies fire rocket barriages dialy upon them, killing innocent jewish citizens. Now in a move that seems unbelieveable, Olmert wants to move out of the West Bank. Yes, and give it to the Palestinians. This move, will surly bring more death to Israelis while giving more land to her enemies. Land that is very close, very dangerous, and very deadly.

Peaceful Co-existence…. All the Leftist Dreamers talk about is Peaceful Co-existence. And when asked for examples of Peaceful Co-existence between Palestinians and others…. well, we’re all still waiting! Moslems and Arabs have shown time and time again that they are incapable (I repeat, INCAPABLE) of living in peace with anyone in the Middle East.

Be prepared for the United States to some day put Israel on the chopping block in order to secure “favors” from the Arab world. There are double factors at work here: (1) American thirst for Arab oil and other global concerns and (2) the traditional Jew-hatred of the State Department that has driven foreign policy from one administration to another. Such appeasement didn’t work for Hitler in the case of Czechoslovakia in 1938 and it will NEVER work if Israel is sacrifice to the Arab-Muslim Nazis now. Even Israel’s Leftist dreamers will squirm when they feel the knife at their throats!

The one thing America needs to do is keep in step with Israel’s safety. We do not like threats ourselves let alone terroists killing us. If we were pushed in a corner like Israel would we listen to our own advice? Most assuredly not. We need to realize that the Palestinians are Moslems who want to kill jews. They want Israel destroyed. They just don’t want a little land, they want it all. America needs to back Israel with viable choices.

America needs to provide Israel with up to date weapons. Weapons that are better than any others in the region. This will deter those who want to destroy this democratic state. Second, America needs to revamp its Oslo Accords and throw them out the window. Let Israel take back all the land. Let her establish solid borders for protection. For no nation is hated like Israel is. Third,get the other neighboring states of Egypt, Jordon, and Syria to put together a state for the Palestinians. Let the Arab take care of the Arab.

Doing these things will created a viable state solution for Israel and one for the Palestinians.

Making defensible borders and creating a viable democratic state, Israel will stay a nation in the midst of many enemies. America will also retain a friend to the end. This also will provide a solid presence of democracy in the middle east where one is needed badly.

Call your congressman when issues regarding Israel come up. Let your church and pastor know you support Israel. Third pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the Salvation of Israel. By doing these things, we can help stop the bad decision making by the US Government. It will back Israel ensuring that they stay a viable force in the middle east. It will also protect innocent Jewish men, women, and children who are killed on a daily basis. This will also provide for a viable and trusting state solution for the Palestinians.

Edgar Cayce, Nostradamus, John from Revelations, the Mayans, and numerous other authors and psychics have all depicted terrible end time cataclysms that will result in the end of life as we know it. Like moths to a flame, we appear to be attracted to these prophecies since we tend to believe that we may be somewhat deserving of a fiery end…or at least that some people deserve or earned this future.

Various end of the world dates have been predicted hundreds of times since 30AD and even more predictions are provided for as far ahead as 2047 at this time…and as each year passes, more end of the world predictions occur for even later years. The addition of more and more predictions is inevitable since each occurrence of ‘previously hidden evidence’ or ‘newly discovered information’ will result in predictions going on for thousands of years to come…or until we choose to stop subjecting ourselves to such fearful and unnecessary banter.

Some popular ‘end of the world dates‘ were and are:

– 1982: Pat Robertson predicted that the world would end, plus world ends due to the Jupiter effect.

– 1988: 40 years after Israel became a nation (‘this generation shall not pass’ with a generation being counted as 40 years + 1948.)

– 1993: Same as above, but 7 years added for tribulation period.

– 1998: Because 666 x 3 = 1998, plus based upon predictions from Nostradamus as depicted in the movie “The Man Who Saw Tomorrow”.

– 1999: Predicted by Kirk Nelson using Edgar Cayce’s Predictions in conjunction with the Bible.

– 2000: World ends due to the new millennium, also if you divide 2000 by 3, you get 666, plus another Jupiter effect, plus also predicted in the book, ‘The Bible Code’, plus Hal Lindsey’s updated prediction from being in 1988 (40 years after Israel became a nation) to the rapture happening in 2000 and the end of the world in 2007.

– 2001: Jack van Impe prediction, plus, since there is no year 0, the true millennium is 2001

– 2007: Same as above but includes an adjustment for calendar changes in the middle ages, plus Hal Lindsey updates end dates to possibly now being 2040 or 2047.

– 2009: Jerry Falwell predicts the end in 1999, saying less than 10 years to go.

– 2012: Mayan calendar ends, plus the book “The Bible Code” includes yet another end date, plus Nostradamus picks this date in his newly discovered revelations, plus variations of interpretations from Edgar Cayce.

I am not going to argue that Edgar Cayce, Nostradamus or Biblical prophets may have had the capacity to see what we interpret as future events, but what I do know is true is that these depictions have more to do with dreaming or fashioning the future as compared to predicting it.

Even though hundreds of world ending predictions have come and gone in centuries past, without the world ending, the moment the next prediction is presented, the masses are drawn to this prophecy of doom and embrace it as inevitable and allow the fear of the prediction to affect them in some way.

The only reason these predictions attract any interest at all is because we feel so unable to control our own futures and therefore, we use these predictions as a way to grab apparent control, even though the future these prophecies provide for us are events we would not otherwise have chosen. In our frantic attempt to grab control of the future by accepting these predictions, we totally deny our own capacity to provide a better future that we could manifest ourselves.

End time prophecies may appear to provide us with a glimpse of our future, but all they really do is diminish our capacity to see that we have total say in what the future holds, because the future is not set. The future is based solely upon what your mind believes is possible or inevitable today…this moment. Your thoughts and resulting actions at this moment are what shapes the future, and nothing else.

If following the crowd and simply accepting the worst is where the majority of us desire to go, then let’s look at where this method of thinking might take the world. Let’s say that one of these predictions were really true and an event will occur that will wipe mans existence from the earth. How should we respond to this? How should we really view this possibility?

The only reason any prediction of the future would concern you is if you believe that the physical ‘you’ is all that there is. If you do not perceive or consider that there is something beyond the physical, then yes, the end of the world is the end of everything, and man’s every conscious thought of every person simply ceases to exist as the universe just shakes us off. It’s as though we never existed and as though not a single achievement or struggle ever happened or mattered at all. Life loses all meaning and even though this has not happened yet, the thought of it could only strip you of any reason to want to move forward and make something positive of your life.

Alternatively, if you do see that we are more than these bodies, and if you can perceive that we are actually spirit beings that simply use these bodies for a time, then any prediction of the end of the world has no real impact since its as though you are simply saying that one of your dreams will end. We experience this life and we behave as though we are really here and as though we are affected by all things, just like we do when we dream, but as when you awaken from any dream, you simply release the value the dream provided and often totally forget what it was about. Likewise, the end of times, were it to occur, would bring about an end of your physical life and you would awaken within a spirit existence and see that the physical things you thought mattered, don’t matter any more. Even though the physical universe would say you are dead, you’ll clearly see that you never died, but simply left that physical body and every concern that it manufactured.

When the body dies for any reason, even if the whole world were destroyed as well, the results for you are the same. This simply means that you move on to whatever is next. What is next can only be guessed about and is therefore a waste of time to ponder or debate. No matter what does come next, the spirit ‘you’ continues to exist and will continue its journey back to our Father and Creator.

Some believe we are reincarnated here on earth, or even possibly on other planets and even as other species. This may or may not be true, but it does not matter since whatever form you may take, that form is still only a shadowy reflection of the spirit ‘you’ which is eternal and never dies.

So, while experiencing life here on earth, or in your next existence, what is the best thing to do when faced with such terrible predictions of pending doom? You can choose to be open to see these predictions more clearly and see that you have a choice as to when, if and how they occur. You can choose to embrace the fear of the predictions and become a willing partner for why they occur or you can choose to see that you are a spiritual being that has the capacity to make higher and more peaceful choices. You can choose to see that you have the capacity to allow the future to be nothing more than a perfect and peaceful path towards God.

To release yourself from any fearful concept of what the future may hold, first release all images of what you think the future should be or may be, then invite the Holy Spirit to correct your thinking and say “I am open for that which is best”. By actively allowing the Holy Spirit to make your decisions for you, you can simply feel secure in knowing that God will bring into your life, only that which will result in drawing you closer to him. You can then cease to use your judgement to interpret the events of the world and allow yourself to see things as he sees them, as peaceful and loving paths towards the light.

Everything can be seen as an opportunity to grow and move forward…and no matter how anyone else may view your circumstances or the circumstances of the world, your existence can be one of peace because you will have nothing to fear, nor will you fear what may happen to others since you can know that no matter what they may allow to happen, the worst thing they could do is to end their dream of being physical here. Since their spirits live eternally, their journey back to our Father will still continue on in some way, until we are all reunited again.

Our world, or the existence we perceive outside of God, will end some day, but this is a glorious and happy event, not something of cataclysm and doom. Nobody dies. Nobody loses. Everyone wins. When we no longer see this world as something we need or want, we will once again return to our Father and Creator. At that time, our thoughts of this world will simply fade away as any bad or unusual dream does, and we will resume our eternal existence with our Father, and the ‘one second of eternity‘ that was this world, will simply cease to exist. Being reunited with our Father, eliminates our desire for this world to exist, and that is when the world ends.

I am simply amazed at the ability of the Mayans to interpret our universe with appraently such little scientific intelligence. Maybe there’s a message there for us. But, back here in the States the Hopi Indians ability to see into the future with their concept of five worlds is no less amazing. In fact Hopi prophecy is quite startling (read part one by CLICKING HERE) . Let me give you some examples.

Our native American Hopi are gentle and peaceful people who have lived under very harsh conditions and survived. In fact, they feel that it is because of their customs that many dangers have been kept at bay. They have seen four worlds come and they feel the 4th world is about to go. As a warning about the impending fifth world, they requested an opportunity to speak to the United Nations (in 1948).

Our world is changing and they have deep insight to that concept.

They had been given the word that they were to warn the world’s leaders who would assemble in a great house made of mica that would have been built on the Eastern sores of their land. Can you say New York? It was a vision that had been given to them much like many other such visions that had proven to be true. A couple of examples would be as follows.

>Many large wagons would come and be pulled by something greater than a horse. Of course the rail roads fulfilled this amazing prophecy.

>The most recent and final sign was widespread famine, wars, and nations against nations which would be preceded by the white man building a house in the sky. Can you say Skylab space station?

These are just a few of the amazing prophecies that would make Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce jealous.

Who wants to listen to the Hopi, the Mayans, or other uncivilized and unsophisticated socities? What do they know that we with our brilliant scientists can’t figure out? The date December 21, 2012 is just a concept to rally around. Will it be 2012 or 20111, or 2013? Unlike many of the interpretations and web sites that you can find on 12-21-2012, neither the Mayans not the Hopi see the end of the world, just the end of the world as we know it. Be it the 5th world or 9th underworld, the message is the same.

It’s not the end of the world, but the beginning of a new one that is already now in the transformation stage? How well prepared will you be for this Future Shock- the Hopi prophecy?

Generally speaking the ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’ involves the notion that what you believe to be true, will be true. If you put a thought into action it becomes reality. This can carry over into many aspects of your life from work to pleasure and can even affect your traveling plans. Worry and stress over your desires of an ideal vacation can actually cause things to backfire and go haywire. Expecting to have a great time can make that very thing happen as well.

In the common conception of the self-fulfilling prophecy it is widely thought that how you expect others to behave, either in a situation or toward you will also be true. This is often the thought behind the ‘power of positive thinking’ in making your life, or the situations you are in work in your favor. I think most people have found that when they feel good about themselves, and expect others will behave favorably towards them it ends up being true more often than not.

This can be a big influence on the way others treat you when you are on vacation from the hotel staff, to the waiters in local restaurants, and even locals. In some cases having a negative outlook, or worrying too much over whether you will have a good time can actually put a ‘chip on your shoulder’ and bring negative reactions toward you. On the other hand if you are looking for the positives in all situations, you are likely to find them, and have a great time doing it.

“A light is rising high up. It will purify the atmosphere and destroy the mental taints and sins of world humanity. The world will be united as a single nation and joy and peace will be established eternally in the entire world.”

- GERARD CHRISEY

“Your interest in flaunting of miracles is waning and you believe that Extra Sensory Powers (ESP) and divine energy should be utilized only for world welfare. Hence you can definitely tell us whether any transformation is possible in the materialistic attitude of the world which is spreading dangerously in the entire world? When will political frauds die an eternal death? Is it possible that all nations will agree with the disarmament proposal? Will the world unite as a single nation? Will communism spread in the entire world? Will all these changes take place in a very short time?”

A great political leader of Holland once requested a famous seer of his country, Gerard Chrisey, to answer the above questions. In India it is quite common that people believe in prophecies but Holland is may be that rare country of the world which takes help of respected seers / futurists of their country to advise them regarding tasks pertaining to police stations, parliaments and other governmental activities. In our country (India) anyone can attain Extra Sensory Potential (ESP) via high leveled austerities and spiritual practices. This method is not found in any other nation of the world. Despite this, due to God’s grace, such souls embody in various countries whose prophecies generally come true. In this century (20th), not only in Holland but virtually in entire Europe, Gerard Chrisey was said to be the greatest foreteller of the future. Very rarely were his prophecies proved wrong. Gerard Chrisey was born in a Jewish family of Holland.

Once an American professor telephonically questioned Chrisey – “My daughter is suddenly missing. You very well know that children are the apple of their parent’s eyes. My mind is tensed because my daughter is not by my side. Her education too has been affected. Will you please tell me about her whereabouts?”

“Many a times our mind becomes wayward and agitated. Thus it is difficult to understand even common situations. Your problem requires that I focus all my sentiments at one point and dive deep into my psyche. It is only then that my soul will contact subtle vibrations. At present I myself am involved in one problematic situation. Tomorrow at this very time I will answer your question.” After replying thus Chrisey disconnected the phone.

On the next day at that very hour, the American Professor seated 5,000 miles away from Holland picked up the telephone and he realized that it was Gerard Chrisey ringing him up from Holland. Gerard said – “Your daughter was at a clinic and from there she came to the edge of a stream. This stream must be close to a clinic. She sat in a boat and reached the other end of the stream. There she saw a big red car. Your daughter sat in that car and went away. Do not worry, your daughter is fine and within 6 days she will return to your home.”

Even after 6 days the Professor’s daughter did not return. The Professor entered the room where his telephone was placed and thought of phoning Chrisey. As he raised the telephone receiver and simultaneously raised his head, he saw his daughter seated on the sofa in front of him. He asked his daughter as to how she managed to disappear? His daughter’s reply exactly matched the prophetic description given by Chrisey earlier on. The American Professor amazingly wondered as to whether a human being can see and hear things, taking place in any corner of the world without the help of scientific apparatus? If only he had read Indian philosophy, he would have known that each individual has a latent soul force within his being. The Lord has compassionately given us humans, a multifaceted machine i.e. our body which if aptly used, can help us see not only far off objects but also the subtle world. In fact man can become God too, which is the true goal of human life.

Chrisey is proof of this fact. Innumerable times he gave prophecies which were proved to be true later on. Once, a certain gentleman’s son was missing. He showed his son’s photograph to Chrisey. Chrisey said – “I see water surrounding this son of yours from all directions. It seems as though your son is drowning in water.” Chrisey was proved right because on the following day the gentleman’s son’s dead body was found floating in a river situated close by.

One day a lady asked Chrisey – “Tell me something about a very distant past event in my life when you were just a small boy.” Chrisey replied – “One day in the past you had gone to the fields with your friends. While walking, you came across a plant that had thorns. One friend of yours pushed you and you fell on this plant. One thorny stem pierced your abdomen. This wound on your abdomen left a mark which can be seen even today.”

That lady agreed that the above incident had occurred 27 years back. At that time she was a 12 year old girl. On 13th September 1960 A.D. an important incident took place in Gerard Chrisey’s life. A priest came to meet Chrisey and asked him about a missing boy. There was nothing new about it yet Chrisey said, “This boy is cycling speedily in a jungle.” Immediately after saying this Chrisey kept quiet. It seemed as though he was deep in thought and hence the priest asked – “Why did you stop speaking? Do tell me more about this boy.”

After breathing deeply, Chrisey said – “There is nothing more to add. A tall, hefty man is chasing this boy. His hair is black. At a short distance from that area he has murdered the boy and has buried the boy’s dead body there itself.” Chrisey gave an exact description of the location in which the boy was buried. When people visited that place, they saw that Chrisey’s prophecy was true cent percent. Even the post mortem report agreed with Chrisey and said that indeed the boy was murdered.

Dr. Tanfay, a researcher in the field of Parapsychology, was in those days studying the causes of Extra Sensory Power (ESP). He called Chrisey one day and led him to a place where a meeting was to take place the following day. The stage had been set up and chairs arranged neatly for the audience to sit on. Dr. Tanfay stood beside one chair and asked – “Chrisey, can you tell me who will be sitting on this chair in tomorrow’s meeting?”

Chrisey replied – “A lady will sit on this chair.” Then he described that lady which was simultaneously recorded on a tape recorder. Next day it so happened that a lady did sit on that chair. When the lady was questioned about what Chrisey had earlier said about her, she agreed totally with it. Dr. Tanfay was deeply influenced by this incidence. In reality Dr. Tanfay was largely responsible for the name and fame Chrisey achieved in the entire world.

Chrisey now began solving many complicated political, social and educational problems. To the extent that the Archeological Department too asked for Gerard’s help. Dr. Walcot Utecher, a Geologist of Johannesburg University, found a piece of bone in a cave of South Africa called Cannibal. The bone seemed very ancient but none of the scientists could decipher as to which era / age it belonged to. Dr. Tanfay advised these researchers to take Chrisey’s help. Chrisey, after touching that piece of bone described an era and tribal organization of South Africa which sacrificed human beings as an offer of worship to their deity. Chrisey said that this particular bone was that of a dead human being who was sacrificed by his tribe in the past. The name of the tribe given by him matched perfectly with findings of the Archeological Department.

Day by day Chrisey achieved more fame and glory. Despite this he realized that by describing the past and future of anybody and everybody, he was loosing his Extra Sensory Power (ESP). Chrisey asked himself as to why he was experiencing discontent after describing someone’s past or future! The answer he got was that Extra Sensory Power should only be used for cosmic welfare and never for selfish gain, name, fame, etc.

In the first paragraph of this article, Chrisey was asked a question regarding politics. His reply was – “I clearly see a radiant light emerging from an extremely ancient country of Asia (India), where sages and serpents are worshipped, whose women are very pure and who never divorce their husbands and whose citizens are straightforward, simple and honest. Over here such a great saint has taken birth who will design programs for world peace, prosperity and unity. During these times the world will experience a lot of turbulence, terrible wars will be fought and a few countries will be destroyed totally. So many plane crashes will occur that people will travel less by air. This great saint will have innumerable followers wherein women will predominate. These followers will be residents of various regions of that country. They will light pyres and offer fragrant materials to that scared fire (Yajnas). The smoke emitted as a result will purify and sanctify the atmosphere. World humanity will pay more and more attention to the above followers. When all world political leaders will realize the importance of the sagely advice of this saint, they will have to unite and confer with one another on one dais. The proof of my prophecy will be witnessed at the end of the 20th century. At that time the world will be united as a single nation and only peace and prosperity will reign in the world. There will be no place for violence, terrorism, riots, falsehood etc. Capital punishment will be meted out to vile men and those, who harass women sexually or otherwise. People will drink more milk. The world will beautifully bloom like fragrant flowers.”
