Ping!

Well, your post is now part of the hysterical Spiritdaily.com world. It sits alongside the SWAGs of a nightclub owner.

Prophecy by someone who remains Anonymous is like sworn testimony from a Phone Booth

[Mike Fieschko]

During the recent tsunami, Mary calmed the seas there once more. In a December 29 statement, basilica officials noted that about 2,000 pilgrims attending Mass were "miraculously saved" when the surging waves of the historic tsunami stopped at the gates of the shrine compound, which is near a devastated beach.

And the pilgrims on the beach who were washed away?

Church workers recover rotting bodies at Indian Marian shrine:

More than 1,000 people, including hundreds of pilgrims, perished within a one-kilometer (.62 miles) radius of the basilica Dec. 26 when tsunamis triggered by a magnitude 9 earthquake deep in the Indian Ocean hit the coast.

However, Bishop Ambrose said that hundreds of pilgrims had been on the beach in front of the basilica when the tidal wave hit without warning. Other pilgrims who were shopping in the stalls in front of the shrine, or stopping in the barber shops to receive a tonsure-- an old custom there-- were also killed. "We recovered more than 400 bodies today. There could be more bodies lying around," Bishop Ambrose added.

Thanks for posting that. False reports of prophecy is blasphemy IMHO

[Salvation]

Just the messenger here. I'm not the person making prophecies or being a proponent of ideas.

As I said above: For your discernment.

[MJY1288]

BTW, I know your devotion to the Lord and would never question your dedication to His teachings. In just find this anonymous Prophet an insult to my intelligence and not worthy of consideration.

Any person who believes, he or she, is a messenger of our God, has no reason to hide from public scrutiny

This is all a little absurd. How 'bout this, Christian fundamentalist friends: I am in touch with people in Aceh who in their ruin and misery say it's because they didn't follow ISLAM closely enough! Hey whatever God tells you, I guess. God's tellin' 'em to 'go Islamic.'

I did ask my pal in Jakarta by email what the Javanese soothesayers were saying about the rare meteor shower that rained down on Java a couple weeks earlier. I learned the soothesayers told people to go bang on coconut trees to scare away evil spirits. Guess they didn't bang hard enough.

Thanks for the ping.

It is this kind of stuff that causes people to sneer at Christianity.

[Salvation]

Could that be the deception of the tempter?

Read this thread: Prophecy of St. Nilus

[melsec]

Hi,

Jesus said there would be wars and rumors of wars and earthquakes etc in many places and that these things would occur right up until the very end. So they are really not that signyficant in End Times Prophecy rather when people are saying or calling out "Peace and Safety" this is more signyficant prophetically.

Blessings

For us all to discern, I guess,

"and the chaff will be swept up and thrown into the fire."

[Kitten Festival]

No.

I can predict that there will be a car wreck in the next 24 hours....and one in 20 years. I can't call myself a prophet.

Just read this thread,Salvation. It sure is thought provoking. We cannot pray enough. Only God knows what's ahead but we need to remember to "read the signs of the times."
