High level summary of all things ‘end of world’
Given what we are living through right now, I was curious to see what’s out there about the end of the world. This gives a very brief summary from a number of perspectives and then her own. I found some of the principles towards the end interesting and I hope they are true but otherwise had a hard time staying committed to this read.

I found some of the principles towards the end interesting and I hope they are true but otherwise had a hard time staying committed to this read.
The first half was so boring. It was like reading an encyclopedia or a textbook. Reading the reviews here I realized the second half would be better. Sylvia has some interesting and thought provoking ideas. As I read this book in 2013, many of the predictions that Sylvia predicted never came true, others have some basis for reality but its hard to say if she thought of them first or heard the ideas from another source. Reading that this is Sylvia's 52nd time on Earth made me laugh but her ideas on death, dying, and the end of the world are not scary.
Don't get me wrong, this book was VERY interesting, and I think that's what kept me going/continuing to read it. I began to loose interest when the author began talking about her own predictions, and then I started skimming the pages, not necessarily because I didn't believe, but mainly because I literally just lost interest. It felt like reading a research paper which also didn't appeal to me. If someone asks me about this book, I'll say it's very interesting. The whole time reading it I noticed that I kept saying to myself that this book is interesting, how interesting, very interesting. Basically the word interesting is how I would describe this book. Sorry if this isn't much of a review.

“The first thing to do when you’re afraid of something is to educate yourself about it as thoroughly as possible” (xi).
Summary:
It’s a fascinating book if you’re interested in religions, prophets, cult leaders, and prophecies about the end of the world. The author gives good descriptions of them. But you will be disappointed with her own prophecies because many of them have already been shown to be false. Her prophecies of dates yet to come are also unrealistic, because they are overly optimistic. It’s funny how she can do all this research into the different end of world prophecies and prophets, almost all of which predict doom and gloom, and still she disagrees with them and puts a positive spin on the end of the world.
In the beginning of the book she lists a bunch of Christian prophecies which failed to come true (3-11). But she doesn’t learn from their mistake, because she commits it herself: by being specific about certain things happening in a certain year.
There is more probable validity of other end of world predictions made in this book by other people, because there are commonalities between them.
The author says that the prophets don’t have anything in common, but I found things they have in common: white race, mostly Catholics.
The cultists also had the white race in common. Both true prophets and false prophets were often born in May.
Surprising:
*About Atlantis: “A variety of sources are convinced that they were extraterrestrials who came to Earth more than 50,000 years ago. They were of human shape, fair skinned, and were giants, averaging from 7-10 ft tall. Excavations have unearthed skeletons that confirm the existence of a race that grew to and exceeded that height. The life span of the Atlanteans were said to be about 800 years, which might explain how they had time to develop their astonishing technology, light-years beyond ours even today. They were able to achieve perfect control of the weather. And because they were virtually addicted to stimulation, they took particular delight in conjuring violent storms for their amusement” (26). Their most common energy source was the crystal. The Tuaoi Stone/Firestone could be charged by nature. Atlantis was destroyed by tuning the crystal to higher frequencies which caused the continent to fall in on itself (27-28).
*1 Thessalonians 5:12-19 said “Do not despise prophesying, but test everything” (76). I thought this was interesting since the notion of faith is opposed to testing things. Prophets seem to be distrusted even by the religious, which tells me that they don’t truly believe.
Religious beliefs on the end of the world:
Zoroastrianism:
In 8000 BC, a man named Zarathustra was born in Iran. He created the Zoroastrianism religion, the first religion to have only one god. The god’s name was Ahura Mazda, a combination of words that translates to ‘Lord Creator’ and ‘Supremely Wise’ (139). A messiah would be born to a virgin, but there is no Satan/devil. God made humans have freewill. In 500 BC, scripture predicted the final days would commence “at the end of the tenth hundredth winter . . . The sun is more unseen” (141). There’ll be a battle between good and evil. Good will triumph and god will purify and cleanse earth with molten metal and fire. Haven’t we already reached the tenth hundredth winter though? 10 x 100 = 1000. 1000 years + 500 BC = 500 AD.
Sioux believe that following these rules will continue the circle of life (51-52):
Respect, honor, & take care of earth and other races
Love, be grateful, humble, kind, honest, responsible
Share feelings and concerns
Aborigine:
“I believe the revival is going to start in Australia when we’re Dreaming” (54). Well, Australia is certainly the first country imposing the harshest lockdown laws and restrictions of freedom when it comes to covid-19. Will the first to be chained also be the first to break free?
Norse (55-57):
A 3 year winter occurs. The sun disappears, then the moon. The dead wake, the earth quakes. The sea is poisoned, then the land and sky. Tsunamis, fires. The gods fight with each other. Everyone dies in the fire except two people and a few gods (Odin’s brother and sons and Thor’s sons). All land sinks into the sea. The World Tree (Yggdrasil) protected the two humans. The cleansed world rises from the sea. The sun and moon return. Peace follows.
Hinduism (113-118)
Each cycle/age is about 427,000 years. We’re currently in the fourth age, the Kali (iron) Age, which is an age of corruption. When the age ends, there will be complete destruction, then an avatar/incarnation of the Supreme Being will appear and bring the age of purity (Golden Age) (114). Vishnu is supposed to appear again soon as Kalki, a white horse, who will “destroy the present world and elevate humanity to a higher plane” (115). “Peculiar, undisciplined barbarians will be vigorously supported by rulers” (115). Sounds like Antifa. There’s a long description of the Kali age, and it sounds a lot like modern times. In the end, no one will live as long as 23 years (118).
Buddhism:
The end of the cycle will be full of hedonism, sexual depravity, social chaos, and lack of physical health (123). After Buddha’s teachings vanish, no one remembers him, and his sacred relics are destroyed by fire, another Buddha will appear (122). He will have a far reaching, heavenly voice, golden skin, eyes like lotus petals (green?) (122-123). He’ll be 80 cubits high (123). I tried to look up how long a cubit is, but it sounded like 17-47 inches. So that’d make this person a giant. Even if the person is 80 inches tall, that’s 6.67 ft.
Judaism End of days date: 2240 (p. 78).
Christianity (61):
Most of the prophecies based in Christianity and Jehovah’s Witness have not come true (3-11, 130-133).
Incorrect: “All good Christians who’ve devoted their lives to the Lord will be risen from the earth to be embraced in the sky and saved for eternity by Jesus” (61). No, it’s only those of Jewish decent.
The Antichrist will sign a 7-year covenant of peace with Israel. God begins to punish people with war, plague, natural disasters, etc. which lasts for 7 years. It ends when the Antichrist breaks the treaty and uses militia to attack Israel. He has a statue of himself in the temple. Jesus returns and destroys the Antichrist, his soldiers, and followers. Peace follows.
(Interestingly, it sounds like God doesn’t want peace in Israel, but God is also against the Antichrist. The Antichrist description above reminded me of Trump. Trump presided over a peace treaty between Israel and the United Arab Emirates just one month ago. USA Today called Trump “King of Israel.” Shocking! Isn’t that title reserved for Jesus? More reason Trump is like the Antichrist. It’d be ironic if God ends up punishing those who support Trump, since most of his followers are Christians while the opposing side are the Satanic, Atheists, gays, etc. If Trump is the Antichrist, then according to the Bible, the tribulation times start this year and last for 7 years until Trump attacks Israel. But Trump won’t be president anymore after 4 more years.)
Islam
“The Islam faith believes in the final days both Jesus and a descendant of Muhammad will come to earth to combine forces of good against evil and usher in the Apocalypse” (112-113)!
Catholicism
The second physical manifestation of Christ is called Parousia (Greek for presence or coming) (85).
Prophecies that came true:
Hopi (32-36):
They’re waiting for Pahana, the lost White Brother, whose return to Earth marks the beginning of the 5th world. He is not cruel or greedy.
Signs of the 5th world beginning:
1. White skinned men coming and stealing land
2. Spinning (wagon) wheels
3. Long-horned cattle
4. Snakes of iron (railroad tracks)
5. Giant spider’s web (power lines)
6. Rivers of stone (highways) and pictures in the sun (mirages)
7. Sea turning black (oil spills)
8. Long haired youth join the natives to learn from them
9. Dwelling above the earth falls (1979 Skylab falling)
Great destruction is coming. World will rock. White men battle. Smoke and fire (atomic bombs) will cause disease and death. Those who live in the hopi land will be safe. Pahana will return after the destruction.
Cherokee (40-46):
1. Bugs on Black ribbon (cars on roads). Earth will shake violently, throwing the bug into the air (WWI, airplanes).
2. People talk through cobwebs (telephones)
3. Sign of life (cross) in the east will turn on its side (nazi) and be surrounded by death. The sun will rise in the west (Japan attack Pearl Harbor), bringing a second violent shaking, worse than the first (WWII).
4. Ashes fall preventing growth (atom bomb).
5. Eagle will land on the moon (Apollo 11)
6. Sparkling House built in the east welcomes all people (UN headquarters in NYC is a glass monolith)
7. If we don’t come together as a human family, the earth will shake a third time, more violently than ever before (WWIII).
Interesting: Each morning, people should give thanks to Creator, Earth, Sky, relatives, and the 4 sacred directions: east (earth guardian of nourishment and healing), south (wind/sky/air guardian), west (water guardian), north (fire guardian). “All things are connected, all things have purpose. . . . When we die, our souls may be selected to keep living as ghosts in the earthly dimension” (40).
They believe their souls come from the stars in the form of Starseeds (like in SMStars!). When people die, they return to being stars. Their ancestors came from the star cluster Pleiades, which form the eye of the Taurus bull (42). The pine tree is sacred to them (44). Like the Mayan calendar, the Cherokee one also end in 2012. The author says this is because the South Americans migrated north.
Likely to come true:
Lakota (38-39):
Earth is crying for help, and the Star People (aliens) will answer the call. They will hit the earth, making it move and causing the seasons to move up by one. “What has existed for 300 years will no longer exist” (38). “There will be great plagues that you do not understand. Many of these plagues are born from your scientists whose intentions have gone awry. Your scientists have let these monsters loose upon the land. These plagues will spread through your waters and through your blood and through your food because you have disrupted the natural chain through which your Mother [Earth] cleanses herself. Only those who have learned to live on the land will find sanctuary” (39).
Would’ve been nice if the religions and prophets were introduced in chronological order. I had to order them myself in my own notes.
Prophets:
*Saint Malachy (p.104-106) 1094-11/2/1148. From Ireland. Had magical powers. Predicted correctly about the final popes, the first being in 1963. The only one who has yet to come is “Peter the Roman” who is actually Satan, the last Antichrist. He’ll feed people during the tribulations. Rome will fall, and the people will be judged (106). All of the popes predicted correctly went in order without anybody else in between. But after the last correctly predicted pope (Benedict XVI) in 2005, the next one was not Peter, but Francis, AKA Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
*Johannes Friede (1204-1257). Austrian monk. “The alternation between cold and heat will become more intensive [geoengineering], storms will have more catastrophic effects, earthquakes will destroy great regions, seas will overflow many lowlands. Not all of it will be the result of natural causes, but mankind will penetrate into the bowls of the earth [fracking] and will reach into the clouds [satellites, space exploration, directed energy weapons], gambling with its own existence. . . . The age of iron will plunge into nothingness. . . . 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” (106-107).
*Nostradamus (p. 183-194) 12/14 or 12/21 1503 - 7/2/1566. France. Jewish lineage, family converted to Christianity, he was raised Catholic.
First antichrist: Napoleon 1769
Second antichrist: Hitler 1889
Third antichrist: Muslim attacker of NYC (2001)
His End of days date: 3797
“In the sky will be seen a fire, dragging a tail of sparks” (192). Sounds like the blue flashes in the sky people see during the abnormally hot fires that level houses but leave trees intact.
After peace, war, famine, and flooding, a mountain 4247 ft in circumference will spread far, drowning great countries (193).
*Isaac Newton (159-161) 12/25/1642-3/20/1726 or 1727 England. He predicted that the world would end in 2060, based on Daniel 12:6-13.
*Helena Blavatsky (162-168) 8/12 or 7/31 1831 - 5/8/1891. Russia. Made correct predictions about science (165). Yet to occur: Atlantis and Lemuria will return. (Atlantean people disappeared 12,000 years ago.) What happened to Atlantis will happen to England and parts of NW European coast (167). In America, a new race(s) will form, altered in mentality and more perfect in spirituality. We’re at the close of the present 5000 year Aryan Kali Yuga or dark age. A age of light will follow (168).
*Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (180-183) 5/22/1859-7/7/1930. Catholic turned Agnostic. Scotland. Predicted much of humanity would die from natural earthquakes and tidal waves. Chaos will last for about three years. The main area of “disturbance will be the Eastern Mediterranean basin, where not less than five countries will entirely disappear” (182). A land will rise in the Atlantic, causing disaster to Irish and western European shores and the Americas. Further great upheavals will occur in Japan and the southern Pacific. “Mankind can be saved by returning to its spiritual values” (183).
*H.G. Wells (168-171) 9/21/1866-8/13/1946. socialist from England. Predicted things in the books he wrote: atom and uranium bombs, tank, military planes, computers, VCRs, news on TV, etc. Not sure that he was really psychic about those things though, or just imaginative. He predicted that we’ll reach a time of peace by the middle of the 21st century.
*Grigori Rasputin (171-179) 1/21/ or 1/9/ 1872 or 1869 - 12/30/1916. Siberia. Christian or Catholic. An immoral man who believed you should sin more so you could be forgiven more. He predicted many true things and healed people. He predicted that if he was killed by nobles, there would be no more nobles in the country. Communism took over after he was killed by nobles (178). He predicted that God’s punishment would come before the century ended (that didn’t come true), and that afterward humanity would live in paradise (179).
*Edgar Cayce (153-158) 3/18/1877-1/3/1945. Protestant from Kentucky. Cured himself of his own illness while under hypnosis. Through his readings of other people, he started to believe in reincarnation (155). He predicted Atlantis and Lemuria returning. Much of current land will be underwater, including much of Japan, New York, southern Carolina, Georgia, etc. “The earth will be broken up in the western portion of America” (157). Jesus will return in the same body he had before (158). He’ll rule for 1000 years, then Satan will return “for a season” (158).
*Padre Pio (p.86-95): 5/25/1887-9/23/1968. Catholic from Italy. Known for the stigmata on his hands and feet. He healed people.
To prove that God is the Master of Creation, angels will cause hurricanes of fire pouring forth from the clouds. Storms, bad weather, thunderbolts, and earthquakes will cover Earth for 2 days. An uninterrupted rain of fire will start on a very cold night (93). The wind will have poisonous gases (93). The earthquakes and fire will stop after 3 nights (94). Peace follows to those that survive. It will be springtime (95).
*Fatima, Portugal children (p. 95-101): On 5/13/1917, Lucia (11), Francisco (9), and Jacinta (7) saw a lady dressed in white appear from the sky. She appeared again after 6 months and asked for a chapel to be built there. The wetness everyone (the kids and a crowd) felt from the rain immediately disappeared. Later, Lucia got visits from Mary, during which Mary told her prophecies. The first prophecy predicted the end to WWI and an aurora borealis before the next WW. The second prophecy predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union. The third prophecy was not supposed to be shared until after 1960. In 1960, the pope refused to reveal its contents because he claimed it didn’t relate to his time. It wasn’t released until 6/26/2000. It was 40 pages, but the passage the author included in this book didn’t really seem to say anything important. I find it suspicious that Lucia didn’t want to release the prophecy until 1960, and then in 1960 it still wasn’t revealed until 2000. Then in 2000, it is revealed but predicts basically nothing. Maybe the third prophecy said something bad about the Catholic church, like that it would be littered with priests sexually abusing kids?
*Maria Esperanza (p.102-104) 11/22/1928-8/7/2004. Venezuela. Catholic. Bore stigmata. Correctly predicted that she’d have 6 girls, 1 boy. There will be a special light from Heaven years before Jesus comes in silence. People will realize his identity slowly. An innocent person he loves will die. He’ll disappear for some days and reappear. When he disappears, people will return to chaos. He’ll multiply himself to help people (103-104).
*Hal Lindsey (11/23/1929), a Christian from Texas, predicted Christ would return no later than 1988 (195). Although that year has passed, I think 1988 could be the birth year of Christ’s new body.
He predicted that there would be a “Revived Roman Empire” ruled by the Antichrist. (Could be the UN.) I find it interesting that he was born one day and one year after Maria Esperanza.

The author listed signs that a cult leader is not a true prophet, but some of those things could be said of Jesus:
Claims his theology is in unique possession of the truth; he’ll make “claims that can’t possibly be proven or disproven—that he’s routinely receiving special orders and insights from God; that he’s a reincarnated messiah or prophet; that God has assigned this mission specifically to him; and that he alone can guide his most faithful followers safely into God’s arms when the inevitable Apocalypse comes, while the sinful nonbelievers on Earth perish” (203).
“Any ‘prophet/messiah’ who claims to have a closer relationship with God than you do is a liar. Any ‘prophet/messiah’ who claims you need him or her in order to communicate with God is a liar” (205). So Catholic priests and popes are all liars? Good to know.
“Any ‘prophet/messiah’ who claims it is God’s will that you cause harm to yourself or to any other living being is a liar” (206). But in the Bible, God DID tell his people to kill (DEUTERONOMY 33:27). Even the apocalypse itself is God unleashing his murderous wrath upon humanity! Moses, Jesus, and Paul were just more cult leaders.
The author’s own predictions:
These came true:
1. There will be more infertile women and men with low sperm counts (248). Couples will be less interested in having kids (true). The reason she gives for both of these is spirits choosing not to reincarnate. The real reason is because of GMO food, toxins in the environment, and the trend of immature, selfish adults and LGBT adults.
2. “In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments. Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it arrived, attack again ten years later, and then disappear completely” (250-251). Covid-19 appeared in 2020, but it is not severe, and there ARE treatments for it (zinc, vitamin D, hydroxychloriquine, etc.). She predicts that illness will be the reason for the end of humanity, but it won’t be from this pneumonia-like illness; it’ll be from our “disastrous environment we’re in the process of creating” (278).
3. Crop failures in 2020 (261). She attributes it to volcanic dust, but the true cause is the covid panic lockdowns and forced closures of businesses.
4. By 2020, the US educational system will undergo massive structural changes (265). True, because of covid-19 forcing distance learning. But the author predicted the changes would be positive.
Her false predictions are too many to name, but here are several:
Before the end of 2010, “the common cold will be a thing of the past” (244). “The cure will involve heat” (244). She predicts the invention of a cubicle that seems to mimic the body’s natural fever producing ability.
In 2010, there’ll be birthing chambers which are more natural and less clinical (245-246).
In 2010, diabetes will be reduced and cured by proteins (249).
Microchips will be implanted in the base of the brain to cure paralysis and Parkinson’s disease by 2012 (249).
In 2013 or 2014, MS, ALS, and muscular dystrophy will be cured by using the human growth hormone (249).
No more blindness or deafness by 2020 (249-250).
“We’ll see an end to the liberal, often careless prescribing of Ritalin and antidepressants with no blood tests at all to indicate whether those medications are even appropriate” (251).
Crime will drop substantially in the first 50 years of (253).
“Pope Benedict will be the last elected pope” (256).
Highly unlikely:
She predicts that people will be more good and spiritual prior to the end of days, and it’s part of God’s plan (282). Why then would it also be part of his plan to destroy us just as we’re becoming better? And just because the people who talk to HER are more interested in spirituality (282) doesn’t mean it’s true for the rest of the world. It seems that the trend is there have been more evil people around since JFK died, and the amount increases every year.
She talks about our true Home, that it’s paradise; “perpetually busy and stimulated” (283). If it’s so great, then why should we bother saving Earth? She said the end of days is part of God’s plan, which also means it’s pointless to fight against it. And what would dead/bodiless souls be busy or stimulated with?
Her unrealistic idea of the afterlife (305): The true Home is 3 ft above the ground. It is a mirror image of Earth without any of the erosion or pollution. It includes the world’s great architectural, literary, and artistic masterpieces, even if they were destroyed on Earth. This is nonsensical, since buildings get bulldozed to create new ones. So how can everything that has ever existed exist in the same space?
This “Other Side” exists as long as Earth exists. When Earth is destroyed, we’ll join the other spirits from other planets (306).
All of the deceased are there on the Other Side, waiting to welcome us Home (315). This contradicts the reincarnation she believes in. If people are charting their courses and reincarnating back onto Earth, then they aren’t hanging out at Home waiting to welcome newly dead people. Also, how is there space for all these dead people?
Home is a spiritual place, not a tangible place, and yet she also believes that Home has marble buildings (316) and machines (317). We will have careers on the Other Side, although we don’t need to eat or sleep (320). So is there money over there too? We’ll all be 33 years old, which she says is the peak of vitality (320). Seems to me, a younger age would be more desirable.
She cherry picks the things from the Bible she wants to believe while not including any of God’s merciless wrath (310-313).
She says that before we reincarnate, we choose every person we meet in the life we will have (284). This goes against common sense. What if the other people who you want to meet don’t want to meet you? There would be different wills; it’d be impossible to please them all.
She says the mentally or physically challenged are advanced souls who chose to reincarnate into those bodies (284). More of these people will be incarnating. They will be participating in the end of times. Since the autism rate keeps rising, I think she may be talking about autistics. But how can autistics do anything when they’re nonverbal, headbanging, toe-walking, screaming, and locked away in institutions because they’re incapable of doing anything for themselves? You might say “not all autistics are like that,” but the most severe cases are. And in the author’s opinion, the most severe cases are the most advanced souls. I don’t believe in mild autism. People who are able to fully function but just can’t maintain eye contact or prefer to be alone are just simply introverts. It’s pointless to label them with a disorder if they are so close to being normal. Just an excuse to drug up more people, I suppose.
She says God created us to each have purpose (291). What purpose would any of us have that matters if the end of days is inevitable and also part of his plan?
She lumps atheists into the same category as sociopaths (293-294).
Might come true:
Sometime during the year 2100, the end of humanity will come by their own poor choices, but earth will not be destroyed (242-243). She says human life will return millions of years from now (266), despite quoting an article which says, “When once a type is gone, nature never renews it” (268).
Between 2008-2020, a president will die of a heart attack (243).
The VP will declare war on North Korea. He’ll be assassinated before his term ends (244).
“2020 will mark the end of the U.S. presidency and the executive branch of the government” (258). The legislative branch will take over. Each state will have an equal number of elected reps. Liberals and conservatives will debate and vote on each proposed bill and law on TV (258).
There’ll be a “flood of highly advanced spirits from the Other Side” (245).
There’ll be fetal surgeries and fetal injections (245).
Every child’s DNA will be registered in a databank called SCAN (246, 253). This may come true eventually, but she predicted it would happen by 2015.
Same with her prediction of satellites taking pictures of crime scenes by 2014 (256).
There will be a voice database by 2025 (255).
Around 2025, people will be able to clone a new organ (247).
Around 2010, hospitals will save and preserve placentas; something inside them can slow Alzheimer’s disease progress (247).
By 2012, we’ll be able to exchange old body parts for compatible new ones (247).
During the first 50 years of the 21st century, cancer will be destroyed by injecting addictive drugs into cancer cells (248).
Synthetic blood around 2025 (250).
Every ATM, cash register, public building, and airport will have an eye-scanning device (254).
In 2025, many religions will combine forces to make Healing Centers, where volunteers offer food, clothing, shelter, laundry, medical care, counseling, legal aid, etc. that poor people need (257). Can’t fund something when there is no funding. Money doesn’t just appear out of nowhere. Or will taxes pay for it? But why work when you can get everything for free at a Healing Center?
There will be a public health system by 2026 (259).
Between 2025-2030, hurricanes and tsunamis will hit the far east and Florida (261).
Around 2026, tsunamis will crash into Japan, and a new land mass will emerge among Hawaii (261).
Before 2050, Atlantis and Lemuria will return (261).
But “the landscape of this planet at the end of days will be the same continents we have now, each of them severely diminished by flooding. 2/3s of the earth is currently covered by water. By the end of this century, water will cover 3/4 of the planet as ice caps, glaciers, and snow from the highest mountains continue to melt. . . . Mount Lassen, Mount St. Helen’s, and Mount Aetna will be among the first to erupt, but even the dormant Mount Fuji will come to life again no later than 2085, decimating much of Japan” (270).
In 2075 or 2080, polio and smallpox will return (279).
There’ll be an increase in “fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, sterility, and infertility, and countless, virtually untraceable allergies” (279). Also a variation of Lyme disease and a relative of West Nile virus that will come from South American insects (279).
Summary:
It’s a fascinating book if you’re interested in religions, prophets, cult leaders, and prophecies about the end of the world. The author gives good descriptions of them. But you will be disappointed with her own prophecies because many of them have already been shown to be false. Her prophecies of dates yet to come are also unrealistic, because they are overly optimistic. It’s funny how she can do all this research into the different end of world prophecies and prophets, almost all of which predict doom and gloom, and still she disagrees with them and puts a positive spin on the end of the world.
In the beginning of the book she lists a bunch of Christian prophecies which failed to come true (3-11). But she doesn’t learn from their mistake, because she commits it herself: by being specific about certain things happening in a certain year.
There is more probable validity of other end of world predictions made in this book by other people, because there are commonalities between them.
The author says that the prophets don’t have anything in common, but I found things they have in common: white race, mostly Catholics.
The cultists also had the white race in common. Both true prophets and false prophets were often born in May.
Surprising:
*About Atlantis: “A variety of sources are convinced that they were extraterrestrials who came to Earth more than 50,000 years ago. They were of human shape, fair skinned, and were giants, averaging from 7-10 ft tall. Excavations have unearthed skeletons that confirm the existence of a race that grew to and exceeded that height. The life span of the Atlanteans were said to be about 800 years, which might explain how they had time to develop their astonishing technology, light-years beyond ours even today. They were able to achieve perfect control of the weather. And because they were virtually addicted to stimulation, they took particular delight in conjuring violent storms for their amusement” (26). Their most common energy source was the crystal. The Tuaoi Stone/Firestone could be charged by nature. Atlantis was destroyed by tuning the crystal to higher frequencies which caused the continent to fall in on itself (27-28).
*1 Thessalonians 5:12-19 said “Do not despise prophesying, but test everything” (76). I thought this was interesting since the notion of faith is opposed to testing things. Prophets seem to be distrusted even by the religious, which tells me that they don’t truly believe.
Religious beliefs on the end of the world:
Zoroastrianism:
In 8000 BC, a man named Zarathustra was born in Iran. He created the Zoroastrianism religion, the first religion to have only one god. The god’s name was Ahura Mazda, a combination of words that translates to ‘Lord Creator’ and ‘Supremely Wise’ (139). A messiah would be born to a virgin, but there is no Satan/devil. God made humans have freewill. In 500 BC, scripture predicted the final days would commence “at the end of the tenth hundredth winter . . . The sun is more unseen” (141). There’ll be a battle between good and evil. Good will triumph and god will purify and cleanse earth with molten metal and fire. Haven’t we already reached the tenth hundredth winter though? 10 x 100 = 1000. 1000 years + 500 BC = 500 AD.
Sioux believe that following these rules will continue the circle of life (51-52):
Respect, honor, & take care of earth and other races
Love, be grateful, humble, kind, honest, responsible
Share feelings and concerns
Aborigine:
“I believe the revival is going to start in Australia when we’re Dreaming” (54). Well, Australia is certainly the first country imposing the harshest lockdown laws and restrictions of freedom when it comes to covid-19. Will the first to be chained also be the first to break free?
Norse (55-57):
A 3 year winter occurs. The sun disappears, then the moon. The dead wake, the earth quakes. The sea is poisoned, then the land and sky. Tsunamis, fires. The gods fight with each other. Everyone dies in the fire except two people and a few gods (Odin’s brother and sons and Thor’s sons). All land sinks into the sea. The World Tree (Yggdrasil) protected the two humans. The cleansed world rises from the sea. The sun and moon return. Peace follows.
Hinduism (113-118)
Each cycle/age is about 427,000 years. We’re currently in the fourth age, the Kali (iron) Age, which is an age of corruption. When the age ends, there will be complete destruction, then an avatar/incarnation of the Supreme Being will appear and bring the age of purity (Golden Age) (114). Vishnu is supposed to appear again soon as Kalki, a white horse, who will “destroy the present world and elevate humanity to a higher plane” (115). “Peculiar, undisciplined barbarians will be vigorously supported by rulers” (115). Sounds like Antifa. There’s a long description of the Kali age, and it sounds a lot like modern times. In the end, no one will live as long as 23 years (118).
Buddhism:
The end of the cycle will be full of hedonism, sexual depravity, social chaos, and lack of physical health (123). After Buddha’s teachings vanish, no one remembers him, and his sacred relics are destroyed by fire, another Buddha will appear (122). He will have a far reaching, heavenly voice, golden skin, eyes like lotus petals (green?) (122-123). He’ll be 80 cubits high (123). I tried to look up how long a cubit is, but it sounded like 17-47 inches. So that’d make this person a giant. Even if the person is 80 inches tall, that’s 6.67 ft.
Judaism End of days date: 2240 (p. 78).
Christianity (61):
Most of the prophecies based in Christianity and Jehovah’s Witness have not come true (3-11, 130-133).
Incorrect: “All good Christians who’ve devoted their lives to the Lord will be risen from the earth to be embraced in the sky and saved for eternity by Jesus” (61). No, it’s only those of Jewish decent.
The Antichrist will sign a 7-year covenant of peace with Israel. God begins to punish people with war, plague, natural disasters, etc. which lasts for 7 years. It ends when the Antichrist breaks the treaty and uses militia to attack Israel. He has a statue of himself in the temple. Jesus returns and destroys the Antichrist, his soldiers, and followers. Peace follows.
(Interestingly, it sounds like God doesn’t want peace in Israel, but God is also against the Antichrist. The Antichrist description above reminded me of Trump. Trump presided over a peace treaty between Israel and the United Arab Emirates just one month ago. USA Today called Trump “King of Israel.” Shocking! Isn’t that title reserved for Jesus? More reason Trump is like the Antichrist. It’d be ironic if God ends up punishing those who support Trump, since most of his followers are Christians while the opposing side are the Satanic, Atheists, gays, etc. If Trump is the Antichrist, then according to the Bible, the tribulation times start this year and last for 7 years until Trump attacks Israel. But Trump won’t be president anymore after 4 more years.)
Islam
“The Islam faith believes in the final days both Jesus and a descendant of Muhammad will come to earth to combine forces of good against evil and usher in the Apocalypse” (112-113)!
Catholicism
The second physical manifestation of Christ is called Parousia (Greek for presence or coming) (85).
Prophecies that came true:
Hopi (32-36):
They’re waiting for Pahana, the lost White Brother, whose return to Earth marks the beginning of the 5th world. He is not cruel or greedy.
Signs of the 5th world beginning:
1. White skinned men coming and stealing land
2. Spinning (wagon) wheels
3. Long-horned cattle
4. Snakes of iron (railroad tracks)
5. Giant spider’s web (power lines)
6. Rivers of stone (highways) and pictures in the sun (mirages)
7. Sea turning black (oil spills)
8. Long haired youth join the natives to learn from them
9. Dwelling above the earth falls (1979 Skylab falling)
Great destruction is coming. World will rock. White men battle. Smoke and fire (atomic bombs) will cause disease and death. Those who live in the hopi land will be safe. Pahana will return after the destruction.
Cherokee (40-46):
1. Bugs on Black ribbon (cars on roads). Earth will shake violently, throwing the bug into the air (WWI, airplanes).
2. People talk through cobwebs (telephones)
3. Sign of life (cross) in the east will turn on its side (nazi) and be surrounded by death. The sun will rise in the west (Japan attack Pearl Harbor), bringing a second violent shaking, worse than the first (WWII).
4. Ashes fall preventing growth (atom bomb).
5. Eagle will land on the moon (Apollo 11)
6. Sparkling House built in the east welcomes all people (UN headquarters in NYC is a glass monolith)
7. If we don’t come together as a human family, the earth will shake a third time, more violently than ever before (WWIII).
Interesting: Each morning, people should give thanks to Creator, Earth, Sky, relatives, and the 4 sacred directions: east (earth guardian of nourishment and healing), south (wind/sky/air guardian), west (water guardian), north (fire guardian). “All things are connected, all things have purpose. . . . When we die, our souls may be selected to keep living as ghosts in the earthly dimension” (40).
They believe their souls come from the stars in the form of Starseeds (like in SMStars!). When people die, they return to being stars. Their ancestors came from the star cluster Pleiades, which form the eye of the Taurus bull (42). The pine tree is sacred to them (44). Like the Mayan calendar, the Cherokee one also end in 2012. The author says this is because the South Americans migrated north.
Likely to come true:
Lakota (38-39):
Earth is crying for help, and the Star People (aliens) will answer the call. They will hit the earth, making it move and causing the seasons to move up by one. “What has existed for 300 years will no longer exist” (38). “There will be great plagues that you do not understand. Many of these plagues are born from your scientists whose intentions have gone awry. Your scientists have let these monsters loose upon the land. These plagues will spread through your waters and through your blood and through your food because you have disrupted the natural chain through which your Mother [Earth] cleanses herself. Only those who have learned to live on the land will find sanctuary” (39).
Would’ve been nice if the religions and prophets were introduced in chronological order. I had to order them myself in my own notes.
Prophets:
*Saint Malachy (p.104-106) 1094-11/2/1148. From Ireland. Had magical powers. Predicted correctly about the final popes, the first being in 1963. The only one who has yet to come is “Peter the Roman” who is actually Satan, the last Antichrist. He’ll feed people during the tribulations. Rome will fall, and the people will be judged (106). All of the popes predicted correctly went in order without anybody else in between. But after the last correctly predicted pope (Benedict XVI) in 2005, the next one was not Peter, but Francis, AKA Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
*Johannes Friede (1204-1257). Austrian monk. “The alternation between cold and heat will become more intensive [geoengineering], storms will have more catastrophic effects, earthquakes will destroy great regions, seas will overflow many lowlands. Not all of it will be the result of natural causes, but mankind will penetrate into the bowls of the earth [fracking] and will reach into the clouds [satellites, space exploration, directed energy weapons], gambling with its own existence. . . . The age of iron will plunge into nothingness. . . . 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” (106-107).
*Nostradamus (p. 183-194) 12/14 or 12/21 1503 - 7/2/1566. France. Jewish lineage, family converted to Christianity, he was raised Catholic.
First antichrist: Napoleon 1769
Second antichrist: Hitler 1889
Third antichrist: Muslim attacker of NYC (2001)
His End of days date: 3797
“In the sky will be seen a fire, dragging a tail of sparks” (192). Sounds like the blue flashes in the sky people see during the abnormally hot fires that level houses but leave trees intact.
After peace, war, famine, and flooding, a mountain 4247 ft in circumference will spread far, drowning great countries (193).
*Isaac Newton (159-161) 12/25/1642-3/20/1726 or 1727 England. He predicted that the world would end in 2060, based on Daniel 12:6-13.
*Helena Blavatsky (162-168) 8/12 or 7/31 1831 - 5/8/1891. Russia. Made correct predictions about science (165). Yet to occur: Atlantis and Lemuria will return. (Atlantean people disappeared 12,000 years ago.) What happened to Atlantis will happen to England and parts of NW European coast (167). In America, a new race(s) will form, altered in mentality and more perfect in spirituality. We’re at the close of the present 5000 year Aryan Kali Yuga or dark age. A age of light will follow (168).
*Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (180-183) 5/22/1859-7/7/1930. Catholic turned Agnostic. Scotland. Predicted much of humanity would die from natural earthquakes and tidal waves. Chaos will last for about three years. The main area of “disturbance will be the Eastern Mediterranean basin, where not less than five countries will entirely disappear” (182). A land will rise in the Atlantic, causing disaster to Irish and western European shores and the Americas. Further great upheavals will occur in Japan and the southern Pacific. “Mankind can be saved by returning to its spiritual values” (183).
*H.G. Wells (168-171) 9/21/1866-8/13/1946. socialist from England. Predicted things in the books he wrote: atom and uranium bombs, tank, military planes, computers, VCRs, news on TV, etc. Not sure that he was really psychic about those things though, or just imaginative. He predicted that we’ll reach a time of peace by the middle of the 21st century.
*Grigori Rasputin (171-179) 1/21/ or 1/9/ 1872 or 1869 - 12/30/1916. Siberia. Christian or Catholic. An immoral man who believed you should sin more so you could be forgiven more. He predicted many true things and healed people. He predicted that if he was killed by nobles, there would be no more nobles in the country. Communism took over after he was killed by nobles (178). He predicted that God’s punishment would come before the century ended (that didn’t come true), and that afterward humanity would live in paradise (179).
*Edgar Cayce (153-158) 3/18/1877-1/3/1945. Protestant from Kentucky. Cured himself of his own illness while under hypnosis. Through his readings of other people, he started to believe in reincarnation (155). He predicted Atlantis and Lemuria returning. Much of current land will be underwater, including much of Japan, New York, southern Carolina, Georgia, etc. “The earth will be broken up in the western portion of America” (157). Jesus will return in the same body he had before (158). He’ll rule for 1000 years, then Satan will return “for a season” (158).
*Padre Pio (p.86-95): 5/25/1887-9/23/1968. Catholic from Italy. Known for the stigmata on his hands and feet. He healed people.
To prove that God is the Master of Creation, angels will cause hurricanes of fire pouring forth from the clouds. Storms, bad weather, thunderbolts, and earthquakes will cover Earth for 2 days. An uninterrupted rain of fire will start on a very cold night (93). The wind will have poisonous gases (93). The earthquakes and fire will stop after 3 nights (94). Peace follows to those that survive. It will be springtime (95).
*Fatima, Portugal children (p. 95-101): On 5/13/1917, Lucia (11), Francisco (9), and Jacinta (7) saw a lady dressed in white appear from the sky. She appeared again after 6 months and asked for a chapel to be built there. The wetness everyone (the kids and a crowd) felt from the rain immediately disappeared. Later, Lucia got visits from Mary, during which Mary told her prophecies. The first prophecy predicted the end to WWI and an aurora borealis before the next WW. The second prophecy predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union. The third prophecy was not supposed to be shared until after 1960. In 1960, the pope refused to reveal its contents because he claimed it didn’t relate to his time. It wasn’t released until 6/26/2000. It was 40 pages, but the passage the author included in this book didn’t really seem to say anything important. I find it suspicious that Lucia didn’t want to release the prophecy until 1960, and then in 1960 it still wasn’t revealed until 2000. Then in 2000, it is revealed but predicts basically nothing. Maybe the third prophecy said something bad about the Catholic church, like that it would be littered with priests sexually abusing kids?
*Maria Esperanza (p.102-104) 11/22/1928-8/7/2004. Venezuela. Catholic. Bore stigmata. Correctly predicted that she’d have 6 girls, 1 boy. There will be a special light from Heaven years before Jesus comes in silence. People will realize his identity slowly. An innocent person he loves will die. He’ll disappear for some days and reappear. When he disappears, people will return to chaos. He’ll multiply himself to help people (103-104).
*Hal Lindsey (11/23/1929), a Christian from Texas, predicted Christ would return no later than 1988 (195). Although that year has passed, I think 1988 could be the birth year of Christ’s new body.
He predicted that there would be a “Revived Roman Empire” ruled by the Antichrist. (Could be the UN.) I find it interesting that he was born one day and one year after Maria Esperanza.

The author listed signs that a cult leader is not a true prophet, but some of those things could be said of Jesus:
Claims his theology is in unique possession of the truth; he’ll make “claims that can’t possibly be proven or disproven—that he’s routinely receiving special orders and insights from God; that he’s a reincarnated messiah or prophet; that God has assigned this mission specifically to him; and that he alone can guide his most faithful followers safely into God’s arms when the inevitable Apocalypse comes, while the sinful nonbelievers on Earth perish” (203).
“Any ‘prophet/messiah’ who claims to have a closer relationship with God than you do is a liar. Any ‘prophet/messiah’ who claims you need him or her in order to communicate with God is a liar” (205). So Catholic priests and popes are all liars? Good to know.
“Any ‘prophet/messiah’ who claims it is God’s will that you cause harm to yourself or to any other living being is a liar” (206). But in the Bible, God DID tell his people to kill (DEUTERONOMY 33:27). Even the apocalypse itself is God unleashing his murderous wrath upon humanity! Moses, Jesus, and Paul were just more cult leaders.
The author’s own predictions:
These came true:
1. There will be more infertile women and men with low sperm counts (248). Couples will be less interested in having kids (true). The reason she gives for both of these is spirits choosing not to reincarnate. The real reason is because of GMO food, toxins in the environment, and the trend of immature, selfish adults and LGBT adults.
2. “In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments. Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it arrived, attack again ten years later, and then disappear completely” (250-251). Covid-19 appeared in 2020, but it is not severe, and there ARE treatments for it (zinc, vitamin D, hydroxychloriquine, etc.). She predicts that illness will be the reason for the end of humanity, but it won’t be from this pneumonia-like illness; it’ll be from our “disastrous environment we’re in the process of creating” (278).
3. Crop failures in 2020 (261). She attributes it to volcanic dust, but the true cause is the covid panic lockdowns and forced closures of businesses.
4. By 2020, the US educational system will undergo massive structural changes (265). True, because of covid-19 forcing distance learning. But the author predicted the changes would be positive.
Her false predictions are too many to name, but here are several:
Before the end of 2010, “the common cold will be a thing of the past” (244). “The cure will involve heat” (244). She predicts the invention of a cubicle that seems to mimic the body’s natural fever producing ability.
In 2010, there’ll be birthing chambers which are more natural and less clinical (245-246).
In 2010, diabetes will be reduced and cured by proteins (249).
Microchips will be implanted in the base of the brain to cure paralysis and Parkinson’s disease by 2012 (249).
In 2013 or 2014, MS, ALS, and muscular dystrophy will be cured by using the human growth hormone (249).
No more blindness or deafness by 2020 (249-250).
“We’ll see an end to the liberal, often careless prescribing of Ritalin and antidepressants with no blood tests at all to indicate whether those medications are even appropriate” (251).
Crime will drop substantially in the first 50 years of (253).
“Pope Benedict will be the last elected pope” (256).
Highly unlikely:
She predicts that people will be more good and spiritual prior to the end of days, and it’s part of God’s plan (282). Why then would it also be part of his plan to destroy us just as we’re becoming better? And just because the people who talk to HER are more interested in spirituality (282) doesn’t mean it’s true for the rest of the world. It seems that the trend is there have been more evil people around since JFK died, and the amount increases every year.
She talks about our true Home, that it’s paradise; “perpetually busy and stimulated” (283). If it’s so great, then why should we bother saving Earth? She said the end of days is part of God’s plan, which also means it’s pointless to fight against it. And what would dead/bodiless souls be busy or stimulated with?
Her unrealistic idea of the afterlife (305): The true Home is 3 ft above the ground. It is a mirror image of Earth without any of the erosion or pollution. It includes the world’s great architectural, literary, and artistic masterpieces, even if they were destroyed on Earth. This is nonsensical, since buildings get bulldozed to create new ones. So how can everything that has ever existed exist in the same space?
This “Other Side” exists as long as Earth exists. When Earth is destroyed, we’ll join the other spirits from other planets (306).
All of the deceased are there on the Other Side, waiting to welcome us Home (315). This contradicts the reincarnation she believes in. If people are charting their courses and reincarnating back onto Earth, then they aren’t hanging out at Home waiting to welcome newly dead people. Also, how is there space for all these dead people?
Home is a spiritual place, not a tangible place, and yet she also believes that Home has marble buildings (316) and machines (317). We will have careers on the Other Side, although we don’t need to eat or sleep (320). So is there money over there too? We’ll all be 33 years old, which she says is the peak of vitality (320). Seems to me, a younger age would be more desirable.
She cherry picks the things from the Bible she wants to believe while not including any of God’s merciless wrath (310-313).
She says that before we reincarnate, we choose every person we meet in the life we will have (284). This goes against common sense. What if the other people who you want to meet don’t want to meet you? There would be different wills; it’d be impossible to please them all.
She says the mentally or physically challenged are advanced souls who chose to reincarnate into those bodies (284). More of these people will be incarnating. They will be participating in the end of times. Since the autism rate keeps rising, I think she may be talking about autistics. But how can autistics do anything when they’re nonverbal, headbanging, toe-walking, screaming, and locked away in institutions because they’re incapable of doing anything for themselves? You might say “not all autistics are like that,” but the most severe cases are. And in the author’s opinion, the most severe cases are the most advanced souls. I don’t believe in mild autism. People who are able to fully function but just can’t maintain eye contact or prefer to be alone are just simply introverts. It’s pointless to label them with a disorder if they are so close to being normal. Just an excuse to drug up more people, I suppose.
She says God created us to each have purpose (291). What purpose would any of us have that matters if the end of days is inevitable and also part of his plan?
She lumps atheists into the same category as sociopaths (293-294).
Might come true:
Sometime during the year 2100, the end of humanity will come by their own poor choices, but earth will not be destroyed (242-243). She says human life will return millions of years from now (266), despite quoting an article which says, “When once a type is gone, nature never renews it” (268).
Between 2008-2020, a president will die of a heart attack (243).
The VP will declare war on North Korea. He’ll be assassinated before his term ends (244).
“2020 will mark the end of the U.S. presidency and the executive branch of the government” (258). The legislative branch will take over. Each state will have an equal number of elected reps. Liberals and conservatives will debate and vote on each proposed bill and law on TV (258).
There’ll be a “flood of highly advanced spirits from the Other Side” (245).
There’ll be fetal surgeries and fetal injections (245).
Every child’s DNA will be registered in a databank called SCAN (246, 253). This may come true eventually, but she predicted it would happen by 2015.
Same with her prediction of satellites taking pictures of crime scenes by 2014 (256).
There will be a voice database by 2025 (255).
Around 2025, people will be able to clone a new organ (247).
Around 2010, hospitals will save and preserve placentas; something inside them can slow Alzheimer’s disease progress (247).
By 2012, we’ll be able to exchange old body parts for compatible new ones (247).
During the first 50 years of the 21st century, cancer will be destroyed by injecting addictive drugs into cancer cells (248).
Synthetic blood around 2025 (250).
Every ATM, cash register, public building, and airport will have an eye-scanning device (254).
In 2025, many religions will combine forces to make Healing Centers, where volunteers offer food, clothing, shelter, laundry, medical care, counseling, legal aid, etc. that poor people need (257). Can’t fund something when there is no funding. Money doesn’t just appear out of nowhere. Or will taxes pay for it? But why work when you can get everything for free at a Healing Center?
There will be a public health system by 2026 (259).
Between 2025-2030, hurricanes and tsunamis will hit the far east and Florida (261).
Around 2026, tsunamis will crash into Japan, and a new land mass will emerge among Hawaii (261).
Before 2050, Atlantis and Lemuria will return (261).
But “the landscape of this planet at the end of days will be the same continents we have now, each of them severely diminished by flooding. 2/3s of the earth is currently covered by water. By the end of this century, water will cover 3/4 of the planet as ice caps, glaciers, and snow from the highest mountains continue to melt. . . . Mount Lassen, Mount St. Helen’s, and Mount Aetna will be among the first to erupt, but even the dormant Mount Fuji will come to life again no later than 2085, decimating much of Japan” (270).
In 2075 or 2080, polio and smallpox will return (279).
There’ll be an increase in “fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, sterility, and infertility, and countless, virtually untraceable allergies” (279). Also a variation of Lyme disease and a relative of West Nile virus that will come from South American insects (279).
