Subject: Re: P.S. to Last Letter
Hi! I've had a chance to peruse more of the
ever-changing Nostradamus pages, and once again I'd like
to commend you for a job well done! I appreciated
your reply to my last questions regarding the Shawnee
Curse! It's interesting to discuss the possibilities with
someone with a similar interest in history, and who seems
to have a pretty good handle on how things happen and
might happen in the future! I do have a few
questions and comments, and they are in no particular
order, so pardon me if the list might be in somewhat of
an incoherent order. :)
1) It seems that there are a lot of vectors coming
to head in the Middle East/South Asia for spring of 2000,
and in the news, there seem to be a lot of news items
concerning this violent area of the world. I wonder
if one of those vectors may have been, instead of the
death of a leader there (such as Saddam Hussein), the
death of a U.S. President? President Clinton had
to, at the last minute, cancel a trip to a Bangladeshi
city, and, in Pakistan, had to ride in an unmarked white
plane instead of Air Force One. Both of these were
due to assassination threats made by anti-American
factions within Bangladesh and Pakistan. Needless
to say, if the target of the prophecy was indeed
President Clinton, the fulfillment was fortunately
thwarted by the Secret Service and those in charge of the
President's schedule.
2) "Trouble for New York City and/or East
Coast" -- The March window is past, and although you
mention that danger exists for NYC into 2002, I wonder if
the sharp rise in oil prices, devastating the Northeast
trucking industry, might be the
"trouble." If OPEC is serious about
boosting production, it seems that trouble may be behind
us, at least for a few months.
3) I personally don't believe China will raise
military tensions with the U.S. over Taiwan before
November. Here's the reason why: China has
benefitted tremendously over the past 8 years with the
most pro-China president since 1949. It is to
China's utmost benefit if Vice-President Gore succeeds
Clinton as President in November. As for Bush,
although George W. Bush's father was decidedly pro-China,
the GOP has shifted to a more anti-China stance over the
past 8 years (look at Gary Bauer's extreme anti-China
platform!), and no matter what George W. Bush's personal
feelings about China, a Bush Administration would not be
as sympathetic towards Beijing as a Gore Administration
would be. Beijing knows that if it acts bellicosely
between now and November, those tensions would drive
Americans over towards George W. Bush. Expect China
to remain quiet through November.
4) Minor technicality on the "Emergency
Window" page: Britain and France declared war
on Germany first, not vice versa. Hitler invaded
Poland to get a border with the USSR, his ultimate
target. When France and Britain rushed to Poland's
aid, that was an annoyance that pushed back the invasion
of the USSR by over a year. Hitler would have been
perfectly happy to keep peace with an
appeasement-obsessed U.K.-France until after Russia was
subjugated (probably by 1943).
5) You mention many possible scenarios for the next
Balkan War. Are you as surprised as I am that
Slobodan Milosevic is willing to live as long as he has
with a committed pro-Western pro-American president as
head of Montenegro?
6) Any chance the "catastrophic flooding"
of the summer of 2000 could be a catastrophic
drought? First, all the natural vectors are pointed
towards drought for the summer of 2000. The entire
state of Iowa, for example, has already been placed by
the National Weather Service under a drought warning in
effect for the remainder of 2000. Second, it seems
almost impossible that we could surpass the mind-boggling
once-per-millennium floods that destroyed the Midwest in
1993.
7) Error on your page: The Sydney Olympics
start on September 15. The July/August vector you
give is mid-winter in Australia. If the dates are
accurate, then the event can't possibly be the Olympics.
8) It's probably a pretty good bet that Israel and
Syria will indeed sign a peace pact this fall.
That'll be President Clinton's legacy and will give a
boost to Vice-President Gore's chances in November.
9) Second Russian Revolution: I agree that
Russia is ripe for another revolution. I'm just
curious as to why Nostradamus' second Russian revolution
for the 20th Century wasn't the Revolution of 1991?
10) Any comments on the prophecy of St. Malachi
that says that Pope John Paul II (who seems very close to
death now) is the 3rd-to-last pope? Supposedly, the next
pope will be a weak, short-lived pope, to be followed by
a strong Pope "Peter II" ("Petros
Romanus," I think), who would be the last pope...
Thanks for any comments you have!

Hi
Jim!
Thanks for writing again and for your encouraging
comments.
You have covered a great deal of territory. Hope you do
not mind my replying in somewhat greater detail.
1) I agree it is possible that President Clinton may
still be in danger of assassination. Indeed, I predicted
that his life would be in danger in 1998 -- especially
November 1998. If you recall, he was to have made a
trip to Pakistan that month (one that would have lasted
several days and not a few hours like this year). A
leader of a terrorist cell linked to Osama bin Laden even
threatened that Clinton would be assassinated by his
group if he went to Pakistan. The trip was then canceled
just as this year's trip to Bangledesh was.
Someone who is advising the
President really knows what he or she is doing. This
would tend to support my conviction that Clinton has
escaped death many times -- especially in 1994, 1998, and
now 2000 -- because he is impervious to the Shawnee Curse
(not being elected in a zero-ending year).
However, I am concerned about one thing: even if the
synodic Jupiter-Venus air conjunction of 1980-81 had
something to do with preventing the death by
assassination of Ronald Reagan, how do we know another
president doesn't have to make up for it's failure
somehow? If that is true, Clinton may still be
assassinated this year. Even if he is, as
mind-boggling and unprecedented as it may sound, the
2000-elect will also be assassinated or die in office
(two presidents dead in consecutive terms).
I would also point out that, although it is extremely
rare, a few of my predictions have been fulfilled one
calendar year before or after the target year. I call
this phenomenon an 'adjacent fulfillment.' In 1996 I
predicted that Pakistan and India would conduct nuclear
weapons tests and then begin a nuclear arms race and at
least low-level fighting or a full-blown war in February
1997. However, this did not happen until the following
calendar year in May 1998 -- 15 months later. The
vector for President Clinton's death was November 1998.
An 'adjacent fulfillment' -- if there was going to be one
-- should have occurred sometime in 1999. However, if we
take the 15 months as the longest possible postponement,
he could have died in office as recently as February
2000. We are now beyond that point.
We are now TWO calendar years past the target calendar
year. If my prediction for 1998 --which I have already
proved was CLOSE on the 'Failed Clinton Prophecy' page --
should actually be fulfilled sometime in what remains of
2000, this would be extremely rare. In four years of
experiments (1996 - 1999) and well over a hundred
separate predictions, I have had only three adjacent
fulfillments occur -- and not one that happened TWO
calendar years later or premature. I cannot say that a
phenomenon such as this is impossible; however, thus far,
it is not supported by the evidence I have compiled thus
far in my experiments.
However, you may have not noticed on my Year 2000 (Part
Two) page that another Western world leader is in danger
this year. I have predicted a potential assassination of
either British Prime Minister Tony Blair or one of three
British royals -- Prince Philip, Prince Charles, or
Prince Andrew. The vector of danger is September 2000.
The assassins (or would-be assassins if they hopefully
fail) will either be members of the IRA or an IRA
splinter group or international terrorists.
2) The trouble for New York City/East Coast.
It is true that the March window has closed, but
a) Note the following post that has been on the
prediction since 3/1/00: 'NOTE (3/1/00): If China's
recent threat to launch nuclear strikes on the US is in
any way connected with this prediction, the vector may
need to be extended to April and May. The most dangerous
days for those months are: April 5, 14, and 23 and May 4,
13, 22, and 31.'
b) Remember that my vectors are not always reliable. 69%
to 87% of my predictions have occurred during the years I
have specified, however only roughly half of the vectors
(specific months) have been correct. For example, I
predicted that the earthquakes in Turkey and Greece would
occur in March and May 1999, but instead they occurred in
August and September 1999. The prediction I made -- which
was unusual because major quakes in Greece are rare and
major quakes in both Turkey and Greece so close together
are even more rare -- was correct and the year was
correct, but the specific vectors were off by a factor of
three months.
The New York City/East Coast
prediction was very difficult to make without
generalising. SOMETHING terrible was certainly indicated
for New York City, the US East Coast, or the former
Soviet Union (but which?). The time window we are in is
exactly seven years after the World Trade Centre Bombing,
fourteen years after the Chernobyl Disaster, twenty-one
years after the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster, and
thirty-five years after the Great Blackout of New York
City (that, technically, was November 1965 and may still
bode ill for this November). In 1972, twenty-eight years
ago, I believe it was in May, an asteroid or a very large
meteor narrowly missed colliding with the earth in the
eastern United States (I have seen the film footage of
the fireball); however, it managed to burn up over the
Atlantic Ocean before an impact could occur. With the one
exception, Chernobyl, the eastern US was the focus of all
of these events.
Also, Nostradamus is quite clear
that New York City will experience two cataclysmic
disasters: one that will bring partial destruction to the
city as well as portions of New Jersey, another that will
completely incinerate the Big Apple. Even Edgar Cayce
concurs that New York, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, and other coastal states will be partially
(and permanently) inundated by unprecedented flooding
sometime after 1998. All of his earth changes are
projected to be completed by mid-21st century.
Bearing in mind what I said
regarding the vectors being off by a factor of anywhere
between a few days to three-and-half months, the New
York/East Coast prediction could still happen as late as
June or July.
Still, getting the year right is
difficult enough. I grew weary of all the astrologers,
psychics, and prophets (including the late Jeane Dixon)
who used to make New Year's predictions for each coming
year on television and in newspapers. None of them
rarely if ever committed themselves to any specific month
or season. The following year we would check their score
and it would always fall somewhere between 0 to 10%
(often 0).
I also plainly state my predictions in words that are
understandable to most people. Unlike another more
popular prophet who is highly visible on the Internet and
claims he predicted Princess Diana's death way back in
1995, I do not resort to an arcane or intentionally
obscure form of 'mystical verse' smothered in symbolism
and metaphor -- a Rorschach blot grammatically
constructed in such a way that it can be interpreted a
hundred different ways and be 'proven' correct no matter
what happens. To a somewhat lesser extent, I could accuse
Nostradamus of doing the very same thing in a number of
his quatrains.
(I should point out that I am experimenting with new
sound and letter systems to try to identify which
celebrities are at risk of death or mishap. But I explain
how these systems function and what they are based on --
I do not leave it to the imagination of the viewer. I
also should warn that these systems are HIGHLY
EXPERIMENTAL. 1999 -- the 'More and F' prediction -- was
my first trial run.)
Obviously my base 7 numeric system has SOME value. And
even if my accuracy rate for 2000 should fall to 50% or
lower, how does one explain the unusual success of my
first four years (the fourth, 1999, actually played out
right on the web in 'real time' before thousands of
witnesses)? One can be a lucky guesser, but not THAT
lucky.
3) You may be right about China. Indeed, on my China
Emergency Information Window the following has been
appearing since March 26: 'China may be "the
Orient" that "will be in great fear and
dread" during another critical election or
inauguration: the inauguration of Russian President
Vladimir Putin on May 5, 2000, the US presidential
election of November 5, 2000, or the inauguration of the
US-elect in January 2001.'
In addition, I have uncovered another dangerous vector
for hostilities for December 2000 to July 2001. However,
the danger is a war between the US and NORTH KOREA.
Obviously, this must be wrong -- with tensions as high as
they are between China and Taiwan and Beijing and
Washington, this new vector must herald a Sino-US
conflict. Then again, perhaps the US will be at war
with BOTH countries (they WERE allied during the Korean
War of 1950-53).
It is strange, though, how many potential multiple
vectors there have already been for China and North Korea
since 1998. One of them, June 1999, was when the
two Koreas clashed in the Yellow Sea (on June 15).
Another one for China in August 1999 was not far removed
from the May 1999 NATO bombing of the Chinese Embassy in
Belgrade.
This is the way it goes sometimes. Most predictions have
only one or two vectors and no more. But then there are
some with multiple potentials over a period of two,
three, four, even five years.
4) I stand corrected on the issue of Germany and World
War II. While it is true that Germany and Britain were
each other's most important trading partners during the
1930s, you are right about who invaded whom first. I was
confusing the First World War with the Second. Following
the assassination of the Archduke and Duchess in Sarajevo
in June 1914, Russia mobilized its army along the borders
of Austria and Germany. Because of this Germany
declared war on Russia. Because France supported
the Russian action, Germany declared war on France and
later Britain. I must have had that in mind when I was
creating my analogy. One of the casualties of creating a
web page hastily when being pressured due to lack of
time.
5) Indeed, I am also surprised that the butcher of
Belgrade has not yet moved on Montenegro. Along with
Kosovo, it was a region I believed was in danger of being
subjected to military invasion and possible genocide by
Yugoslavia in 1998 and 1999. However, the timetable is
catching up. Montenegro announced in January that it will
definitely declare independence by December 2000.
Milosevic said there will be war when that happens.
Therefore, a new conflict within or involving Yugoslavia
this year seems unavoidable -- one way or another (and
one certainly is indicated by base 7).
6) You may be right about a catastrophic drought. But I
must stand by the Midwest flood scenario -- however
'mind-boggling' and 'impossible' that may seem.
7) Unfortunately, July/August 2000 is the vector for the
Olympics Terrorist Attack prediction. However, after
reading what I have said about vectors, it should be
apparent that September 15 is close enough. I mean, if it
happens on September 22, would you really say my
prediction was WRONG because it didn't happen in August?
Remember what I said about expectations of psychics' and
prophets' New Year's predictions. Just getting the year
right is difficult enough.
8) We'll see on the Israeli-Syrian peace. There is an
interesting contradiction: influences suggest a
successful peace accord for Syria and Israel in September
2000 (I should also add, however, that this is also when
a new peace accord between Israel and the PLO is now
scheduled to be signed, so perhaps not). But next year,
in 2001, influences are highly adverse around
October/November, indicating war beginning between Israel
and Syria, perhaps in the Golan Heights or elsewhere
along the Israeli-Syrian border. Things progress from bad
to even worse around April 2002 when the entire Middle
East may become a huge battleground and Israel is invaded
and conquered by an Iraqi-led coalition.
9) In Nostradamian 'lore' revolutions, especially the
French and first Russian, are always described as bloody
and violent. Also, he says that the second Russian
revolution, like the first, will occur under the evil
influence of Saturn. I do not think the French seer
considered the 1991 revolution to be a true revolution.
10) St. Malachy is about the only ancient prophet who
does not appear to concur with Nostradamus. According to
Malachy, as you have pointed out, there should be only
two more popes after John Paul II. However, Nostradamus
describes the careers and deaths of many popes who have
never reigned. For example I know of no pope who reigned
for many years who had a nephew who later became pope
himself. The nephew pope is later murdered by an evil
cardinal and his followers. The evil cardinal then
becomes pope himself. I know of no pope who ever died in
Reggio at the time a strange celestial object appeared in
the heavens. I know of no pope who reigned for only seven
months and was killed by invading Albanian armies. I know
of no pope who died during a major deluge in France in
December and with him the Catholic faith itself.
The list goes on and on -- each pope somehow different
and unique. Some have reigned, but many have not.
I, at least, feel that we can dispense with St. Malachy's
prophecies (or dispense with Nostradamus' -- their
predictions simply do NOT concur). Then again, perhaps
Malachy could not see beyond 'Peter, the Roman,'
mistakenly believing him to be the final end-of-time
pope.
Well, that's about it I would think.
Thanks again for writing and please feel free to write
again anytime!
Best regards,
Michael

Subject: Re: P.S. to Last Letter
Thanks for your reply. I find the subject of
pondering what the future may hold fascinating. I
think I'm getting the hang of your base-7 system in
figuring the dating of future events. I do have one
question about your methods however. How do you
figure out WHAT'S going to happen? For instance,
there's certainly a great probability that something
meteorologically devastating is going to happen this year
to the Central U.S. (it's 7 years after the Great Flood
of 93). You say another flood is coming; the NWS
says it's a drought. Other forms of devastation
that can hit the Midwest during the summer include heat
waves, tornado superoutbreaks (like the one in April
1974), smog from Western fires, dust storms, and
more. Base 7 may say that *something's* going to
happen this summer regarding the weather, but does that
something necessarily mean a flood?
BTW, I apologize profusely if you talked about this in
your page. There's a lot of text you've posted, and I may
have skipped over some of it without noticing the answers
to my questions. :) (I admit, I'm the type
that'll read the exciting stuff [the actual predictions]
first! :)
Now Jim quotes me from my first
letter:
'Someone who is advising the
President really knows what he or she is doing. This
would tend to support my conviction that Clinton has
escaped death many times -- especially in 1994, 1998, and
now 2000 -- because he is impervious to the Shawnee Curse
(not being elected in a zero-ending year).
However, I am concerned about one thing: even if the
synodic Jupiter-Venus air conjunction of 1980-81 had

president doesn't have to make up for it's failure
somehow? If that is true, Clinton may still be
assassinated this year. Even if he is, as
mind-boggling and unprecedented as it may sound, the
2000-elect will also be assassinated or die in office
(two presidents dead in consecutive terms).'
Superpower leaders throughout
history have always seemed to be drawn towards the
paranormal. Perhaps somebody in the Chief of
Staff's office is also watching the Base 7 calendar and
Nostradamus' predictions. Maybe they're reading
your page! :)
Now Jim quotes me again from my
first letter:
'However, you may have not noticed
on my Year 2000 (Part Two) page that another Western
world leader is in danger this year. I have predicted a
potential assassination of either British Prime Minister
Tony Blair or one of three British royals -- Prince
Philip, Prince Charles, or Prince Andrew. The vector of
danger is September 2000. The assassins (or would-be
assassins if they hopefully fail) will either be members
of the IRA or an IRA splinter group or international
terrorists.'
Is it possible that an attempted
assassination against PM Blair might be made by the
Serbian Secret Service (if there *is* such a thing..)?
Remember last year during the Allied bombing campaign
during the Kosovo Crisis, that PM Blair was advocating
positioning hundreds of thousands of Allied ground forces
in Albania for an invasion of Kosovo. If war breaks
out between Serbia and Montenegro (or Vojvodina or
Croatia or Bosnia...) and Blair makes another stand like
that, it might be conceivable he might find himself on a
hit list in Belgrade. And the Serbians do have some
experience in assassinating world leaders (1914).....
'b) Remember that my vectors are not
always reliable. 69% to 87% of my predictions have
occurred during the years I have specified, however only
roughly half of the vectors (specific months) have been
correct. For example, I predicted that the earthquakes in
Turkey and Greece would occur in March and May 1999, but
instead they occurred in August and September 1999. The
prediction I made -- which was unusual because major
quakes in Greece are rare and major quakes in both Turkey
and Greece so close together are even more rare -- was
correct and the year was correct, but the specific
vectors were off by a factor of three months.'
That's still impressive nailing the
correct year. :) I didn't know earthquakes
for Greece were real rare, since Greece is on the border
area between the Eurasian and African Plates, halfway
between Italy and all its volcanoes and the northern
Middle East, which always seems to have earthquakes.
'The New York City/East Coast
prediction was very difficult to make without
generalising. SOMETHING terrible was certainly indicated
for New York City, the US East Coast, or the former
Soviet Union (but which?). The time window we are in is

bode ill for this November). In 1972, twenty-eight years
ago, I...'
Notice that with the exception of
the World Trade Center, all of these misfortunes were in
the power industry. Maybe we can narrow it down to
something involving a major power grid collapse or
nuclear meltdown, rather than a war or meteor impact.
'...believe it was in May, an
asteroid or a very large meteor narrowly missed colliding
with the earth in the eastern United States (I have seen
the film footage of the fireball); however, it managed to
burn up over the Atlantic Ocean before an impact could
occur. With the one exception, Chernobyl, the eastern US
was the focus of all of these events.'
The famous 1972 film was shot in
Wyoming, but the fireball was heading east and would have
had a major impact (pun intended) on the Eastern U.S. had
it not burned up.
'Also, Nostradamus is quite clear
that New York City will experience two cataclysmic
disasters: one that will bring partial destruction to the
city as well as portions of New Jersey, another that will

Pennsylvania, and other coastal states will be partially
(and permanently) inundated by unprecedented flooding
sometime after 1998. All of his earth changes are
projected to be completed by mid-21st century.'
I don't place a lot of trust in
Edgar Cayce, but that's just my own personal
opinion. I don't doubt that something will happen
to devastate New York. The Long Island Fault hasn't
popped since the 1700s...it's gotta be overdue by now (I
do recall somewhere you have an earthquake forecast for
Boston or Buffalo, but I don't remember when).
Flooding to the Northeast after 1998?
Hmmmm......Hurricane Floyd brought some pretty bad
flooding to the Northeast in 1999. Granted, it
wasn't permanent, but still...
'Still, getting the year right is
difficult enough. I grew weary of all the astrologers,
psychics, and prophets (including the late Jeane Dixon)

Yup. Agreed.

Yeah, that's something that
impressed me about your page and what sorta "sucked
me in" to reading yours rather than just dismissing
it as another prophecy page where anybody can read into
the predictions anything they want to. I agree to
an extent with what you said about Nostradamus.....his
public image took a big hit when July 1999 passed without
a major disaster happening. I personally think the
"king of terror" is either the bombing campaign
in Kosovo, the destruction of Chechnya, or something
still to come ("1999 and 7 months" could mean
1999 *plus* 7 months), but the press made it out to be
nuclear war/comet impact/alien invasion/second coming of
Christ. Nostradamus was certainly fuzzy and that
fuzziness contributed to last summer's fiasco. Of
course, he had to be fuzzy to avoid being arrested as a
witch...

experimenting with new sound and letter systems to try to

HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. 1999 -- the 'More and F' prediction
-- was my first trial run.)'
OK, I have the obvious question
here. Wars, meteorological disasters, political
assassinations, famines...these are important events, and
if anything's going to be able to be predicted, it's
going to be events that are going to affect the energies
of millions of people and create definite ripples in the
continuum. But celebrities??? Please don't
take this the wrong way, but....who cares? If
Madonna or Demi Moore dies, the only people affected are
Madonna or Demi Moore. No big changes to the
space-time continuum, no changes in the energies of
millions of people. I wonder if attempting to predict
trivial events might diminish your claim. After
all, there are enough people named Moore in the world
that there are quite a few Moores who die or are in the
news every day.
I may be in the minority here, and I hope I don't offend
you by saying this, but I also put Princess Diana and the
whole Royal Family in the "trivial celebrity"
category. It was tragic that she died the way she
did, but I don't really see any effect her life or death
has had on the world. But maybe that's because I'm
just a chauvinistic American...:)
BTW, I noticed you use the British spellings of words
like favourite and colour in your pages, so I assume
you're either British or live somewhere in the
Commonwealth. So I hope you're not offended by my
referring to the Royal Family as
"trivial." But certainly, the history of
the U.K. in this century has been determined by people
with the names of George and Chamberlain and Churchill
and Macmillan and Thatcher and Blair, not anybody named
Windsor.
'7) Unfortunately, July/August 2000
is the vector for the Olympics Terrorist Attack
prediction. However, after reading what I have said about
vectors, it should be apparent that September 15 is close
enough. I mean, if it happens on September 22, would you
really say my prediction was WRONG because it didn't
happen in August? Remember what I said about expectations
of psychics' and prophets' New Year's predictions. Just
getting the year right is difficult enough.'
When it comes to the
Olympics....nah, the year's pretty easy. Only
happens once every 4 years. :) I'm just
kidding....seriously, though, if the vector for
July/August extends into September, and it's logically
not possible to have an Olympic attack before September,
then why not just say September? I guess an August
attack is possible in qualifying events or the
trans-Australia torch run, but that'd be kinda
anti-climactic....why go for these little things when you
can make a big splash in Sydney a month later?
'8) We'll see on the Israeli-Syrian
peace. There is an interesting contradiction: influences
suggest a successful peace accord for Syria and Israel in
September 2000 (I should also add, however, that this is
also when a new peace accord between Israel and the PLO
is now scheduled to be signed, so perhaps not). But next
year, in 2001, influences are highly adverse around
October/November, indicating war beginning between Israel
and Syria, perhaps in the Golan Heights or elsewhere
along the Israeli-Syrian border. Things progress from bad
to even worse around April 2002 when the entire Middle
East may become a huge battleground and Israel is invaded
and conquered by an Iraqi-led coalition.'
Influences for peace followed
quickly by war are nothing new in the Middle East.
How long did it take for Iraq and the U.S. to turn from
allies in the struggle against Iran into bitter enemies
over the invasion of Kuwait? I think the only
nation in the Middle East that Israel can trust is
Jordan, and that only as long as the current dynasty is
in power. I hope that King Abdullah surivives the
assassination attempt, if it occurs.
'10) St. Malachy is about the only
ancient prophet who does not appear to concur with
Nostradamus. According to Malachy, as you have pointed
out, there should be only two more popes after John Paul
II. However, Nostradamus describes the careers and deaths
of many popes who have never reigned. For example I know
of no pope who reigned for many years who had a nephew
who later became pope himself. The nephew pope is later
murdered by an evil cardinal and his followers. The evil
cardinal then becomes pope himself. I know of no pope who
ever died in Reggio at the time a strange celestial
object appeared in the heavens. I know of no pope who
reigned for only seven months and was killed by invading
Albanian armies. I know of no pope who died during a
major deluge in France in December and with him the
Catholic faith itself.
The list goes on and on -- each pope
somehow different and unique. Some have reigned, but many
have not.
I, at least, feel that we can dispense with St. Malachy's
prophecies (or dispense with Nostradamus' -- their
predictions simply do NOT concur). Then again, perhaps
Malachy could not see beyond 'Peter, the Roman,'
mistakenly believing him to be the final end-of-time
pope.'
I can't imagine the Catholic Church
dying in the next few decades, so it's most likely that
the latter is true. Once again, this is another
prophecy that the public has twisted and added to the
common myths of the millennium (like the "king of
terror" prophecy).
Once again, thanks for writing me back, and I appreciate
you taking the time to discuss things with somebody who's
fascinated by history, both past and future. :)
