A Brief history of failed prophecies

[kungfugrip]

About 90 CE: Saint Clement 1 predicted that the world end would occur at any moment.
2nd Century CE: Prophets and Prophetesses of the Montanist movement predicted that Jesus would return sometime during their lifetime and establish the New Jerusalem in the city of Pepuza in Asia Minor.
365 CE: A man by the name of Hilary of Poitiers, announced that the end would happen that year. It didn't.
375 to 400 CE: Saint Martin of Tours, a student of Hilary, was convinced that the end would happen sometime before 400 CE.
500 CE: This was the first year-with-a-nice-round-number-panic. The antipope Hippolytus and an earlier Christian academic Sextus Julius Africanus had predicted Armageddon at about this year.
968 CE: An eclipse was interpreted as a prelude to the end of the world by the army of the German emperor Otto III.
992: Good Friday coincided with the Feast of the Annunciation; this had long been believed to be the event that would bring forth the Antichrist, and thus the end-times events foretold in the book of Revelation. Records from Germany report that a new sun rose in the north and that as many as 3 suns and 3 moons were fighting. There does not appear to be independent verification of this remarkable event.
1000-JAN-1: Many Christians in Europe had predicted the end of the world on this date. As the date approached, Christian armies waged war against some of the Pagan countries in Northern Europe. The motivation was to convert them all to Christianity, by force if necessary, before Christ returned in the year 1000. Meanwhile, some Christians had given their possessions to the Church in anticipation of the end. Fortunately, the level of education was so low that many citizens were unaware of the year. They did not know enough to be afraid. Otherwise, the panic might have been far worse than it was. Unfortunately, when Jesus did not appear, the church did not return the gifts. Serious criticism of the Church followed. The Church reacted by exterminating some heretics. Agitation settled down quickly.
1000-MAY: The body of Charlemagne was disinterred on Pentecost. A legend had arisen that an emperor would rise from his sleep to fight the Antichrist.
1005-1006: A terrible famine throughout Europe was seen as a sign of the nearness of the end.
1033: Some believed this to be the 1000th anniversary of the death and resurrection of Jesus. His second coming was anticipated. Jesus' actual date of execution is unknown, but is believed to be in the range of 27 to 33 CE.
1147: Gerard of Poehlde decided that the millennium had actually started in 306 CE during Constantine's reign. Thus, the world end was expected in 1306 CE.
1179: John of Toledo predicted the end of the world during 1186. This estimate was based on the alignment of many planets.
1205: Joachim of Fiore predicted in 1190 that the Antichrist was already in the world, and that King Richard of England would defeat him. The Millennium would then begin, sometime before 1205.
1284: Pope Innocent III computed this date by adding 666 years onto the date the Islam was founded.
1346 and later: The black plague spread across Europe, killing one third of the population. This was seen as the prelude to an immediate end of the world. Unfortunately, the Christians had previously killed a many of the cats, fearing that they might be familiars of Witches. The fewer the cats, the more the rats. It was the rat fleas that spread the black plague.
1496: This was approximately 1500 years after the birth of Jesus. Some mystics in the 15th century predicted that the millennium would begin during this year.
1524: Many astrologers predicted the imminent end of the world due to a world wide flood. They obviously had not read the Genesis story of the rainbow.
1533: Melchior Hoffman predicted that Jesus' return would happen a millennium and a half after the nominal date of his execution, in 1533. The New Jerusalem was expected to be established in Strasbourg, Germany. He was arrested and died in a Strasbourg jail.
1669: The Old Believers in Russia believed that the end of the world would occur in this year. 20 thousand burned themselves to death between 1669 and 1690 to protect themselves from the Antichrist.
1689: Benjamin Keach, a 17th century Baptist, predicted the end of the world for this year.
1736: British theologian and mathematician William Whitson predicted a great flood similar to Noah's for OCT-13 of this year.
1792: This was the date of the end of the world calculated by some believers in the Shaker movement.
1794: Charles Wesley, one of the founders of Methodism, thought Doomsday would be in this year.
1830: Margaret McDonald, a Christian prophetess, predicted that Robert Owen would be the Antichrist. Owen helped found New Harmony, IN.
1832?: Joseph Smith (1805-1844) was the founder of the Church of Christ, which became the Restorationist movement after many schisms. It now includes The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- a.k.a. the Mormons, and about a hundred other denominations and sects. He heard a voice while praying. He wrote, in Doctrines and Covenants section 130:

14: "I was once praying very earnestly to know the time of the coming of the Son of Man, when I heard a voice repeat the following:"

15: "Joseph, my son, if thou livest until thou art eighty-five years old, thou shalt see the face of the Son of Man; therefore let this suffice, and trouble me no more on this matter."

16: "I was left thus, without being able to decide whether this coming referred to the beginning of the millennium or to some previous appearing, or whether I should die and thus see his face."

17: "I believe the coming of the Son of Man will not be any sooner than that time." 14
The year in which this event occurred is not recorded. However, one commentator suggested 1832 or earlier. 16 Smith is later recorded as having said:
"I prophesy in the name of the Lord God, and let it be written--the Son of Man will not come in the clouds of heaven till I am eighty-five years old." 17

Smith would have reached the age of 85 during 1890. Unfortunately, by that year, Smith had been dead for almost a half century, having been assassinated by a mob. Note that his prophecy is ambiguous. It can be interpreted that:

Jesus would return during 1890 (which did not materialize) or that
1890 would pass without Jesus' return (which did come to pass).

Some anti-Mormon sources quote only verses 14 and 15, and draw the former conclusion -- that Smith's prophecy failed.

About 1990: Peter Ruckman concluded from his analysis of the Bible that the rapture would come within a few years of 1990.
Early 1990's: In 1992, David Koresh led the Students of the Seven Seals (a.k.a. Branch Davidian) group in Waco Texas. He changed the name of their commune from Mt. Carmel to Ranch Apocalypse, because of his belief that the final all-encompassing battle of Armageddon mentioned in the Bible would start at the Branch Davidian compound. They had calculated that the end would occur in 1995. After a 51-day standoff, on 1993-APR-10, 76 members died as a result of a fire deliberately set by the Branch Davidians.
1990-APR-23: Elizabeth Clare Prophet, leader of the Church Universal and Triumphant made a series of statements that many members believed indicated the start of nuclear war on this date. At least 2,000 followers traveled to Montana to take refuge in CUT's fallout shelters.
1991: Mother Shipton, a 16th century mystic predicted the end of the world: "...The world to an end shall come; in nineteen hundred and ninety-one."
1991: C.M. Edwards reported that he regularly receives messages from God. One series in mid-1991 predicted a heavy judgment for the U.S. 1991-SEP would bring extreme devastation to the mid-west. One message stated, in part: "Before the close of this year you shall see My signs-true signs of My coming." 1 Interestingly, although the messages allegedly come from God, Edwards retains the copyright.
1992-OCT-28: Lee Jang Rim, a Korean Christian pastor, taught that the Rapture would occur on this date, at 10:00 AM EST. It didn't happen; many of his followers allegedly committed suicide.
1993: Benny Hinn, an Assemblies of God pastor from Florida predicted that the rapture would come in 1993. He also said that God would destroy all homosexuals by 1995 at the latest.
A millennial new religious movement in the Ukraine predicted the end of the world would happen in 1993-NOV. 7

1993-NOV-11: The 1993-JUL-20 issue of the Weekly World News contained an article titled "Doomsday Asteroids." Top scientists allegedly wrote a top-secret document which revealed that M-167, a known asteroid, would hit the earth on NOV-11 and perhaps end all life on earth. The M series of astronomical objects were catalogued by Messier: M-1 is the crab nebula; M-31 is the Andromeda galaxy; M-45 are the Pleiades. There is no M object with a number higher than M-110.
1993 to 1997: Rulon Jeffs was spokesperson for the The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a Mormon polygamist splinter group. In 1993, he allegedly told high school graduates to not attend college. The reasoning was that the world would end before they could finish. The splinter group was founded in 1929 and was excommunicated from the Salt Lake City-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints because of their promotion of polygyny. 26
1994, approximately: There have been continual reports that Jesus and Mary have been appearing in Conyers, GA on the 13th of every month to deliver a message to Nancy Fowler, a homemaker and nurse. Over 1 million pilgrims have visited her prayer site. On 1994-FEB-6, Jesus is recorded as saying: "Conflicts will turn into wars....Then so will the earth tremble in many places. The earth will divide. The earth will divide and take away your riches. Some of you will die suddenly. You will have no warning...The clock continues to tick. The hour is rapidly approaching when one disaster after another will befall you. There will be fighting everywhere. There will be famine and polluted water in many places." Unfortunately, no specific dates were given for these occurrences. 2
1994: A major, though unofficial, Jehovah's Witness prediction date.
1994-SEP: Harold Camping, president of Family Radio predicted on his radio programs that the end of the world would happen sometime between 1994-SEP-5 and SEP-27. He said that he did not know the precise day because Matthew 24:36 of the Christian Scriptures says that "no man knows the day nor the hour." He interpreted a reference in John 21:1-14 to the disciples being 200 cubits from the shore in the Sea of Galilee as meaning that there would be 2,000 years between the birth and the second coming of Jesus. He estimates that Jesus was born on 0007-OCT-4 BCE. 8
Sometime in 1996: The book "The Return of Jupiter: End of the world in the light of the Bible" Dorrance Publishing, Pittsburgh PA predicted a disaster starting in the Pacific Ocean: "A terrible earthquake is going to break the oceanic earth crust under the Pacific Ocean by the year 1996 AD"
1996-OCT-23: Since 1658, many Christians have accepted the calculations of James Ussher, an Irish archbishop, who estimated that the first day of creation occurred on 4004-OCT-23 BCE. This would make the time interval between the creation of the world and a common estimate of the birth of Christ to be precisely 4000 years. Some people believe that Ussher fudged the data to make it come out neatly. He also estimated that the end of the world would occur exactly 6000 years later, in the fall of 1996. This is based on the concept of the "millennial week": that each of the 6 days of creation mentioned in Genesis is linked to a 1000 year time span in the life of the earth. On the 7th millennial day, 1996-OCT-23, Ussher expected that life as we know it will cease.
1997-MAR-8: The Vortex of the Star of David religious sect of Luskville, Quebec, Canada was quoted as predicting the end of the world on Saturday, MAR-8. 3 A father, Jean Leon Marcoux, was interviewed; he was worried because his children will be visiting their mother at the sect's commune on that weekend. He approached the Quebec police but was unable to get them to take any action. A spokesperson for the sect stated that they do not follow a doomsday scenario.
1997-APR-10: Dan Millar, of Surrey, BC, Canada and Bob Wadsworth of the Biblical Astronomy newsletter are both religious researchers. They followed the age-old tradition of looking for signs in the heavens for the arrival of the Antichrist, second coming of Christ, etc. Ancient prophecies told of heavenly events and even a cross in the sky in advance of momentous developments. Millar and Wadsworth predicted the arrival of the Antichrist on APR-10. Dan suggested that we watch news from the Vatican and from Jerusalem on that day, because he expected some sort of coup by the Antichrist. He was expected to come to power in the Vatican as Pope Peter II.
One heavenly indicator was the intersection by two comets of the star Algol in the constellation Perseus. Comets Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp intersected the star on the same date (APR-11) on two adjacent years (Hyakutake in 1996 and Hale-Bopp in 1997). Plotting the two comets' trajectories over the period APR-1 to APR-30 on the two years forms an almost perfect cross. They intersected between the eyes of the Medusa head that Perseus is holding in his left hand. "Algol" means "Demon Star" in Arabic. The head is known as Rosh Satan (the head of Satan) in Hebrew. There was one further heavenly sign: on the evening of APR-10, there will be a lunar occultation of the star Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus.

1997-OCT-20: A Jewish group, called the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement were expected to attempt to place the cornerstone of a new temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This is a small piece of real estate that is the most sacred spot in the world to Jews, and one of the most sacred to Muslims. The Rapture Ready home page has predicted that the "Tribulation" would be triggered by that event. Previous attempts had failed either because of riots, or police action. There was one report that they were going to try to airlift the stone by helicopter this time. On OCT-20, several thousand police officers were deployed throughout Jerusalem; they successfully prevented access to the Temple Mount.
1997-NOV-27: The Sacerdotal Knights of National Security report that "A space alien captured at a UFO landing site in eastern Missouri cracked under interrogation by the CIA and admitted that an extraterrestrial army will attack Earth on November 27 with the express purpose of stripping our planet of every natural resource they can find a use for -- and making slaves of every man, woman and child in the world!"
1997: Superdave the Wonderchemist took the magic number 1331 and added it to 666 the "Number of the Beast" from the Book of Revelation to get the year of the arrival of the Antichrist and the end of the world. 4 Why is 1331 a magic number? 1331 is the same backwards as forwards.
It is 11 raised to the 3rd power
It displays the unlucky number 13 when read in either direction.
it is the fourth row in Pascal's Triangle:


1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1 etc.
1997-DEC-31: The 1997-JUL-29 issue of the Weekly World News reported that the biggest end of the world scare since the Cuban missile crisis was circulating through Washington. President Clinton called a secret meeting with leading Bible scholars for the week of JUL-27. A confidential Pentagon memo sparked the scare; it predicted a worldwide cataclysm of unprecedented proportions. Earthquake activity was allegedly on a rise and will peak at year-end; the earth's crust was believed to have been shifting ominously.
Sometime in late 1997 or early 1998: The 1997-JUL-29 issue of the Weekly World News carried a statement by a spokesperson of the International Association of Psychics. 92% of their 120,000 members have had the same "end time" vision. Spokesperson Madame Vredeau predicted: A rise in religious belief. Prophets and saints will appear and lead the faithful to safety
The oceans will shrink. Deserts expand. Crops will fail; there will be massive starvation
Widespread emotional and mental collapse; increase in crime and violence
Changing weather patterns; basic laws of nature will be disrupted
Satanic demons will appear in broad daylight. War, pestilence, a worldwide plague will spread.
Humanity will disappear around the year 2001 CE.

If almost all psychics believed that, then one can conclude that their predictions are generally quite unreliable.

Well, I can give you a date on that ...

How about NOW ... ?
Unfortunately much of the people in this forum only represent the modern western world countries ...
Do you know how many people die today on famine alone ... ?
Would you care to know ?

The fact that we seem to be doing ok does not necessarily mean the world is ok

Cheers

thank you for posting that kungfu ..

I care very much and i totally agree with you.
we / many are so selfish in a way with their own fabricated and imagined future woes .. when actually lets deal with the imbalance that is here now ..

and the animals .. and the earth ..

lets be the caretakers now .. not selfish drama queen doom sayers ..

we need to change our mind set from drama to solution and to look outside our narrow lives and help those who are in verey very difficult situations NOW .. and all the creatures of the earth ..

there is something so selfish and introspect about all these imagined doomsday scenerios .. really it is very self indulgent ..#

and what can we do for those beings in real need .. hold the energy for them for a start / acknowledge them / send our attention to them .. and the answers will come for all of us to affect change

[Frank Samuel]

The world as we know is not okay, to much doom and gloom for millions of unfortunate people. This is why when predictions of doom and gloom are posted in this forum I often wonder are we really awake or are we the ones that are sleeping. Doom and Gloom is a part of the everyday life for over half of the worlds population. This particular doom and gloom predicted by Dr. Deagle was according to him supposed to happen in LA or nearby in that area. I do not want to see more death and destruction and I am very happy that thus far this day is turning out to be a normal day for this area. Lets unite our hearts and minds in silent meditation hoping that the world will be a safe place for all and that in our own way we could contribute a little something to make our world a better place. Lets help to end the doom and gloom that surrounds the everyday life of so many. Give your love ones a big hug and tell them how much you love them.

You sound full of joy ... happy that nothing (according to you) happened as if you were afraid it was going to ... more or less stating
that you believed there was something to be afraid of indeed ...

[Morphious]

Lets get one thing strait . I'm not afraid of anything ! I just wanted to show people that it may be possible that all this **** about oct 7 - oct 14 - 2012 - ect ect. Could very well be absolutly nothing ...but just another day? Just keeping an open mind to everything. I would be happy to see some things happen like...our economy crashing hard ! i would survive just fine W/O money ...And i think it could change things for the better in the long run ,so no i wish i did happen. Mant people say many things that never happen yet they are apparently "good sources" ? whatever...I like to look at all this in my view as good Entertainment, because Entertainment is the only thing that has acually come true Alot of people make good money in this business. Thats what they do and good for them !

yeah lol

[GOTZEUS]

thats a lot

[alyscat]

Actually, the web-bots were right - however, for those who assumed that the only interp of the data was WWIII or the immediate crash of the US financial system with soldiers all over the place, for THEM, the bots were wrong.

Linguistics did shift into release language today, and on the world wide scene, we are looking at some fairly grim stuff which could affect us pretty heavily in the next 6 months.

It might be good to do some research on exactly what Cliff and George were saying. I'd suggest to start with the 8 part you tube of the rense interview, and then read today's urban survival page.

Alys

[Operator]

Yes, I think you are right alyscat ...

B.t.w. the web bot is not about prophecy (as in the title). Outcome of prophecies can be changed (are conditional)
while predictions are more absolute.

The web bot makes predictions as it is a 'dumb' machine/algorithm just like your calculator or computer.
IF the algorithm is correct (depending on the quality of the designer/programmer) THEN it is nothing
more than a calculated outcome of it's input.
The input being a big bunch of statements made by people on the internet. Just like Google is handing you the links,
ranked according their algorithm. You think Google is doing a bad job ?
Well I guess not ... so here's some credibility.

Now as with every machine it goes like: garbage in garbage out
It heavily depends on the quality of the input. The assumption is that all people are more or less psychics. But we do know
the level of development is different for each person.

So, here you go. The absolute quality of the predictions will never be 100% given the 2 indicated influences already.
And that's what they don't claim either ... We are so eager to raise the accuracy.

And if I remember well they said that probably on the 7th (could be +/- a few days) something would happen which
causes the several months of release language.
Something minor can have happened today (you did not hear yet) having a huge impact on the coming months.
(like Bush signing the SPP in 2005, nobody knew but it will have big impact)

So finally the cliche again ... absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

So, back to work or whatever you do daily ... the only thing we can do is wait so we might as well do something useful.

Cheers

Well for starters the day is not over yet....lol.... there still is a idiot debate in just over an hour ..... would be something to see something happen on national television for their " terror and fear" campaign... nothing like blowing up 2 presidential hopefulls to let Hilliary steamroll in..lol.

Also I thought the original date posted by the bots way long ago was Oct 7/8 th .... I could be mistaken but if I have some free time and the energy then i may try to find that posting ....

According to the Weekly world News for 2001-FEB-13, the rapture will occur on the 7th hour of the 7th day of the 7th month of the Hebrew calendar year that corresponds to 2007 CE. Jesus will appear simultaneously in Jerusalem, Baghdad, Washington, Moscow and in every other capital city of the world.
Dr Michael Mau predicts that Armageddon has already begun and will intensify during 2007. "...our planet, its vibrations accelerated, will swing out of the grip of the dark forces that have imposed upon us, horrors such as 911 and into the light. But there will be no avoiding the resulting turmoil: what we see now is just the beginning..." 2
Michael Travesser, a.k.a. Wayne Bent, has stated that he is the Messiah. He and his 56 devoted followers live in Strong City, NM. He believes that the Book of Daniel has predicted that some important events would occur on OCT-31 and DEC-15. This has been widely reported as a prediction that the world was to end with some sort of apocalyptic event at midnight on one of those dates. It didn't happen. 14,15



2008: More failed predictions earlier this year:
2008-MAR-21: After a lengthy calculation based on the Bible, a British group, The Lord's Witnesses, has concluded that the start of Armageddon will happen on this day. Three quarters of the world's population will die during the subsequent war. This will be preceded by the United Nations taking over complete control of the world in the lunar month preceding 2001-APR-24. This is exactly 666 Hebrew months after the founding of the United Nations in 1945. 3
2008-APR-6: Philip B. Brown incorrectly predicted that the Great Tribulation would start on 2001-APR-7, with the appearance of the the two witnesses described in Revelation. He also predicted that the start of Jesus' millennial reign would be on 2008-APR-6. 4



Predictions of TEOTWAWKI later in 2008:
2008-APR-17: Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry (CARM) received the following unsolicited Email:

"Hello. I would like to E-mail you on behalf of one of the end time prophets of the God of Abraham....Traditional Christianity has really lost its way...the Catholic church is the beast power in Revelation and yet Christianity follows its teachings. That is exactly why only 144,000 will be resurrected on Christ's return, to be a part of the the new government that is coming to earth in 2011."

"Everyone else who dies will be resurrected at the end of the first 1,000 years of Christ's rule in a physical body to learn the truths of God. God has not been trying to save anyone. If he has been, he is doing a lousy job. My words are true and you will see for yourself very soon, starting, 2008-APR-17th the 7th seal of revelation will be taking effect. The first 4 trumpets will bring a total collapse to the United states and her closest allies within a 6 month period. This is the great tribulation that will last for 3.5 years beginning on 2008-APR-17. it will begin in the United States and by 2011 only 10 million of the population will be left of the USA. For your own good, the correct day for worship of the eternal is on the Saturday. Sunday was the original worship of the sun god Mithra and also the day of worship for the pagan god Baal. You need to repent. This is all true and once again, it is not from me but from the end time prophet of the God of Abraham. I want you to keep my E-mail address and when these disastrous events begin to take place, you may believe me and contact me again. Good luck and I hope you live in to the new age that is just ahead." (Capitilization, punctuation, spelling corrected and date format changed)

2008-MAY: Pyotr Kuznetsov is the leader of a Russian doomsday sect called the True Orthodox Church. They reject processed food and regard bar codes as Satanic symbols. He predicted that the world would end in 2008-MAY. During 2007-NOV, thirty-five of his followers barricaded themselves in a cave near the village of Kikolskoye, 435 miles (725 km) southeast of Moscow. They threatened to blow up gas cylinders if officials tried to force them to leave. Twenty-four left when spring floods caused part of the cave to collapse; only a few adults remain. Meanwhile, Kuznetsov is believed to have become depressed at the failure of his prophecies and has tried to commit suicide by hitting himself on the head with a log. 5
2008: Ronald Weinland believes that he "... has been send by God as His end-time prophet." Weinland predicts the demise of the United States in the near future, followed by the start of "man's final war" in 2008. He has published a book titled: "2008: God's Final Witness." A free copy can be obtained at: http://the-end.com/
2008: Billy Hargie predicts the assassination of the next president of the U.S. by a southern activist. This will cause riots which will require the U.S. army to be recalled from Iraq. Iran will then be overrun by Iran. A nuclear world war will start. The environment will rapidly degenerate. The Mayan prediction for 2012 will come true. 97% of all known species will become extinct. Scattered pockets of humans will survive by living off the land. He describes this as the "Dawn of the Eighth Day."
2008?: Linda Newkirk reported that she received a revelation from Yahweh on 2007-NOV-17. She writes that a comet, 17/P Holmes, "... is a sign of the [second] coming of the Son of Man" -- Yeshua of Nazareth or Jesus Christ. The comet was discovered by Edwin Homes in 1892 and follows an inclined elliptical orbit between the planets Mars and Jupiter. It experienced a massive increase in brightness during the night of 2007-OCT-23-24 when it went from about a magnitude 17 to about 2.8 in just 42 hours. Linda's prophecy appears to have been another false alarm, because the comet has since faded from sight with no appearance of Yeshua. The comet is expected to return in 2014. 16,17


lets just say channeling is not an exact science
