Nostradamus 2012

[JenBKR]

I do believe in the Bible prophecies though. They are coming true at a fast pace now, whether anyone choses to believe in them or not. They never give a date though. Don't want everyone jumping on my head about this; it's what I believe and no one can change my mind on this so don't try, ok?

I do too! Not saying that I sit around worrying about it, it's all going to happen with or without my consent but I do believe that a lot of them are coming true.

IMHO, prophecy and prediction are not synonymous. Prophets, if I recall correctly, warned people about their conduct during the present and the consequences of their actions. It wasn't so much future oriented as it was for the present, ie., the time in which they lived. A prediction, on the other hand, is future oriented and anyone can make predictions. Just listen to Sylvia Brown sometime. She makes predictions for the next hundred years or so, knowing that she won't be around when none (or only some) of it comes true. I think Nostradamus was prophesying for his time and not ours, although I can see some similarities but that probably can be said of any era.

hmm, you make a good point...I can see the differences between the two. I like Sylvia Brown...not sure if I believe what she says, but she's interesting. Plus, I heard her say once that there are lots of books in heaven, and I want that to be true!

I don't dislike her but anyone can make a prediction or a comment and occasionally it'll come true. Even a blind squirrel can find a nut now and then. I'm w/Ellie, though; if I'm powerless to do anything about these predictions, then I'm not going to waste my time w/worrying about it. Interesting reading/viewing, though.

In case anyone is interested: The history channel is showing a program called: The Next Nostradamus. It will be on Sunday night. From what the on line tv guide says, they compare his predictions to ones of a mondern day scientist who uses mathmatics to come up with his therories. Some are supposed to be similar I hear.


As for Sylvia Brown, she told a couple in Missouri that their son who disppeared was dead. He was found alive 9 years later, being held captive by a guy in the area. They found him when the guy kidnapped another child. Both children were rescued.

I'm not surprised. She's a little too glib and cavalier about such subjects for my taste.

Most likely the world will end when we blow it to bits with our petty wars over land or our different God or Gods.

Ain't that the truth!?
