Top 10 Prophecies

Listverse.com



A 5th century ascetic monk, who was a disciple of St. John Chrysostom (a doctor of the Church), made a prophecy:

After the year 1900, toward the middle of the 20th century, the people of that time will become unrecognizable. When the time for the Advent of the Antichrist approaches, people’s minds will grow cloudy from carnal passions, and dishonor and lawlessness will grow stronger. Then the world will become unrecognizable. [...]

People’s appearances will change, and it will be impossible to distinguish men from women due to their shamelessness in dress and style of hair. [...] At that time the morals and traditions of Christians and of the Church will change. People will abandon modesty, and dissipation will reign. Falsehood and greed will attain great proportions, and woe to those who pile up treasures.

Lust, adultery, homosexuality, secret deeds and murder will rule in society. [...] At that time men will also fly through the air like birds and descend to the bottom of the sea like fish. And when they have achieved all this, these unhappy people will spend their lives in comfort without knowing, poor souls, that it is deceit of the Antichrist… More

Baba Vanga was a blind Bulgarian woman (born 1911, died 1996) who was a herbalist and alleged mystic who made many predictions for the future. She became incredibly popular due to her so-called mystical powers.

When she died huge crowds attended her funeral. Among her many predictions she claimed that by 4599 man would achieve immortality and that less than 100 years later we would begin assimilating with the aliens we meet on the hundreds of planets we will have populated.

She claimed that in 4509 man will become sufficiently developed that he will begin to communicate with God directly.

In 2221, while searching for extraterrestrial life man will come into contact with something truly terrible (though she did not state what).

Closer to our own time she predicted a change in the Earth’s orbit in 2023. Curiously she predicted the beginning of World War III in 2010, which does not obviously appear to have happened -- though her followers say the machinations may be in place for this to happen.

Alois Irlmaier WW III: “Everything calls peace. Shalom! Then it will occur -- a new Middle East war suddenly flares up, big naval forces are facing hostility in the Mediterranean -- the situation is strained.

"But the actual firing spark is set on fire in the Balkans: I see a ‘large one’ falling, a bloody dagger lies beside him -- then impact is on impact. Two men kill a third high-ranked. They were paid by other people. One of the murderers is a small black man, the other a little bit taller, with bright-colored hair. I think it will be at the Balkans, but I cannot say it exactly. [...]

"Immediately the revenge comes from across the large water. However the yellow dragon invades in Alaska and Canada at the same time. But he comes not far. And then it rains a yellow dust in a line. When the golden city is destroyed, it begins…” Most interesting in these predictions is the fact that he believes the war will begin in the Middle East... More

Satya Sai Baba's Life and Legacy

Sri Sathya Sai Baba passed away at the age of 84 [long before he predicted he would die] in Puttaparthi in Andhra Pradesh, India, on April 24, 2011. In a country that has never been short of self-proclaimed godmen peddling spiritual succor with commercial motives, he stands out as a rare phenomenon:

He was a spiritual leader whose mass following transcended linguistic, national, and religious boundaries. He channeled the fervor and quest of millions of devotees into giving and sharing. He steered clear of divisive political and communal activities all his life.

In the complex spiritual spectrum of modern-day India, Sai Baba may not have been associated with a metaphysical and transcendent philosophy like Sri Aurobindo, or the fervent devotion to the divine that often sent Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa into a trance, or the self-enquiry and non-dualism that made Sri Ramana Maharishi a silent yet eloquent preceptor. But Sai Baba's simple message of love and harmony -- mostly soaked in the language of Hindu philosophy, often in a universal strain -- was enough to draw the masses towards him....

His early reputation was built on a series of miracles such as producing holy ash (vibhuthi) or rings or miniature Shiva lingas [transferring them somewhere seemingly] out of thin air. This invited disdain from rationalists who saw these as nothing more than sleight of hand [as is clear from some YouTube videos]. But there were other controversies as well [alleged pederasty and sexual abuse]. His ardent devotees, on the other hand, saw the miracles as mere expressions of his divine powers, and his teachings and the manner in which he touched their lives as far more important. More
