Sound Familiar?
Timothy Birdnow
Since it's Sunday I thought I would share a little Christian prophecy.
From St.Nilus, circa 400 a.d.
At that
future time, due to the power of such great crimes and licentiousness,
people will be deprived of the grace of the Holy Spirit, which they
received in Holy Baptism and equally of remorse.
"Then the
All-good God will see the downfall of the human race and will shorten
the days for the sake of those few who are being saved, because the
enemy wants to lead even the chosen into temptation, if that is
possible... then the sword of chastisement will suddenly appear and kill
the perverter and his servants."
End.
Then there is Johannes Friede
Since it's Sunday I thought I would share a little Christian prophecy.
From St.Nilus, circa 400 a.d.
"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. These people will be cruel and
will be like wild animals because of the temptations of the Antichrist.
There will be no respect for parents and elders, love will disappear,
and Christian pastors, bishops, and priests will become vain men,
completely failing to distinguish the right-hand way from the left. 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.
"The
Churches of God will be deprived of God-fearing and pious pastors, and
woe to the Christians remaining in the world at that time; they will
completely lose their faith because they will lack the opportunity of
seeing the light of knowledge from anyone at all. Then they will
separate themselves out of the world in holy refuges in search of
lightening their spiritual sufferings, but everywhere they will meet
obstacles and constraints. And all this will result from the fact that
the Antichrist wants to be Lord over everything and become the ruler of
the whole universe, and he will produce miracles and fantastic signs. He
will also give depraved wisdom to an unhappy man so that he will
discover a way by which one man can carry on a conversation with another
from one end of the earth to the other. 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. And, the impious one! ? he will so complete
science with vanity that it will go off the right path and lead people
to lose faith in the existence of God in three hypostases.
End.
Then there is Johannes Friede
Johannes Friede (1204-1257)
When the great time will come, in which mankind will face its last, hard
trial, it will be foreshadowed by striking changes in nature. The
alteration between cold and heat will become more intensive, storms will
have more catastrophic effects, earthquakes will destroy great regions,
and the seas will overflow many lowlands. Not all of it will be the
result of natural causes, but mankind will penetrate into the bowels of
the earth and will reach into the clouds, gambling with its own
existence. Before the powers of destruction will succeed in their
design, the universe will be thrown into disorder, and the age of iron
will plunge into nothingness.
When nights will be filled with more intensive cold and days with heat, a
new life will begin in nature. The heat means radiation from the earth,
the cold the waning light of the sun. Only a few years more and you
will become aware that sunlight has grown perceptibly weaker. When even
your artificial light will cease to give service, the great event in the
heavens will be near.

St. Nilus's prophecy is frightening in the extreme, partly because most of it has fallen upon us now. He's nailed so much of what we have and are...
Friede, on the other hand, sounds like a proponent for Global Warming/Climate Change, and considering when he wrote this, they were going through some temperature changes themselves. I don't have it at hand, but I think he might have been writing during the Medieval Warm period. And by the time the 1400s rolled around, it was cooler than normal.

Agreed on all counts Dana. The prophecy of Nilus is particularly disturbing.
Friede lived in the 13th century and died around 1257. This was at the peak of the Medieval Warming Period and that was why I included the prophecy here; it was a way of showing there was such a thing and also showing he knew the climate would change and would be used to justify some of what was coming.
Notice he said sunlight would be perceptibly weaker. Can't say that's exactly the case but it is interesting insofar as we have gone into a period of no sunspots and that's been happening for some time. How else does sunlight become "perceptibly weaker?" Atmospheric dust? If guys like Bill Gates get their way we will actually geo-emgineer the planet with dust to cool it. It makes me wonder...
At any rate, that was precisely why I included this and Dana you certainly get the gold star here! I figured you'd figure this out right away, but you were on top of it at warp speed!

Well, I try to be right. I took a stab at estimating the Medieval Warm Period and I guess I got it right. It's important to know about that, because it explains some historical events.

It does indeed Dana. A lot of them in fact. The Mongols, for instance, emerged from the Gobi at this period, and that because their food supply increased thanks to a warmer climate. And of course the Viking plundered Europe and settled in Greenland during the early part of this era.
It's fascinating to examine history in that light.
