Bible
Prophecies Fulfilled
Foretelling
the future is a risky business
yet the bible stands firm on
bible prophecies fulfilled.
Just prior to the 1980
presidential election in the
United States, the Saturday
Evening Post interviewed five
leading astrologers in the
country and asked them to
predict the outcome of the party
conventions and also of the
November election.
At
www.theantichristidentity.com
we are offering one of the most
controversial reports to address
the relevance of this to the
coming one world government and
new world order.
Five
candidates were in the running
at the time - President Jimmy
Carter, Senator Edward Kennedy,
former Governor Ronald Keagan,
Former Governor John Connally,
and Senator Howard Baker. As we
know, the Democrats nominated
Jimmy Carter to run for the
presidency, and the Republicans
nominated Ronald Reagan.
In light of
Reagan's landslide victory both
in the party conventions and in
the number of electoral college
votes, the Post article makes
very interesting reading. Some
of the prophecies were
extraordinarily ambiguous. One
astrologer said that Carter's
chart indicated he would be
facing a new beginning of some
sort In November. Brilliant.
Anyone could have made a guess
like that. Another astrologer
said that with so many unknowns
there was no positive way In
predict a winner. At least that
was honest
Another
trying to play like a seer of
bible prophecies,
thought that “a dark horse"
might perhaps enter the race and
change the election picture.
There was no hint as to who this
mysterious dark horse might be,
though even a wild guess would
have been more to the seer’s
credit than such cautious
ambiguity.
More
interesting than the obvious
hedging were the bold plunges
taken by some of the
astrologers. One thought that
Carter could not win by a
landslide. Since he lost by a
landslide, that was some
prediction. The same astrologer
also predicted that the outcome
of the election would either be
very close or Carter would lose.
One wonders why he could not
have foretold Reagan's
overwhelming victory. Another
false prophet looker! at
Connally's transits for the time
of the election and said that
they were excellent and that he
could be the winner. We now know
that Connally never even made it
as a candidate to the party
convention. Another
prognosticator declared that the
final race would be between
Connally and Kennedy, neither of
whom even won their party's
nomination. All of which shows
what a precarious business
prophecy is.
Secular
historians who venture into
prophecy do no better than the
soothsayers, psychics, and
stargazers who are popular In
our society. HG Wells was a
well-known futurist novelist in
his day and the author of a
best-selling book on world
history. He once tried his hand
at foretelling the future of the
Jewish people. Wells was an
avowed enemy of the Bible and
the Christian faith, and his
ignorance of the bible
prophecies being fulfilled
did not help him much with his
prophetic vision. Writing from
an imaginary point in the
distant future, he said:
"Between 194C and 2059, In a
little more than a century, this
antiquated obdurate culture
[Jewish ] disappeared. It and
its Zionist state, Its kosher
food, the law, and all the rest
of its paraphernalia were
completely merged In the human
community. ... Their attention
was distracted from Moses and
the promise of Abraham, and the
delusion that God made His
creation For them alone, and
they were taught the truth about
their race."
