Often when there has been a natural disaster the seers come
out of the closet and make their own predictions as to whether the predictions are
right or wrong. Like anything else one
has to take it with a pinch of salt until the truth can be established. Can it
be established? The thing that worries is how the names of Diane, the late
princess, and the names of cities were known at that time. When you come across
one error you immediately lose faith in the writer who did not perform enough research.
Are there other mistakes? And who has the right answers? Having said that,
where there is a fire you usually have someone at the other end with a lighter
in his hand. The predictions are not mere nonsense. There are people who have special gifts.
Look to the holy
books
If you read the Bible or the Qur’an you will see that God
talks about the coming of the end. The answers are inside us; we are not ready
yet to accept them. One can sometimes get so close that we want to make things
fit. Although countries were not known by the names we know today, there have
been predictions about wars and disasters in different parts of the world which
have come true; in fact, the seer made over one thousand predictions, half of which
have come about. Nostradamus began to practice the occult and was a physician
prior to that. He was highly gifted and wrote his predictions in the form of
quatrains – a group of four lines – and spoke of what he felt he knew. Whether
he used calendars, maps, or astrology to determine his findings is immaterial.
The atom bomb, Hitler,
Lady Diane, 9/11, World Wars
Nostradamus’ prediction of a new leader coming, Hitler, was
uncanny and accurate; also the death of the Princess of Wales. Who would
have believed that a popular princess loved by all would die in a car crash? She
was the most protected person at the time. Her death was sudden and shocking
and a great tragedy. And what does one say about the devastation of 9/11 or the
super storms and hurricanes? Why is it mostly happening in one part of the
world? At these times one looks to God for answers. I believe that it is more
than accidental and one should look at the way we live. Whether all these
predictions are considered nothing more than words on paper, there is always a
grain of truth. God did not reveal all his secrets to us. We will have to
ponder our actions and behavior and take cognizance of the fact that we are
mere human beings. When the sun turns to darkness and the mountains are split
asunder only then will we know the truth.
