PeaceCrusader, can you give us a specific measurable prediction of something that will happen in a specific amount of time?

For example (to make one up): "By October of 2012, Belgium will have invaded Luxembourg".

That kind of thing.

According to the Holy Spirit, the survivors (one-third of mankind) will revert to bartering. They will further be tested because even if one may have much money, there is nothing to buy. Maybe, because of drought.

The fatal levels of fallout radiation may also have something to do with it.

81680085 looks better on a calculator.

I know we're a long way in, and I've not read it all, but I'd like to make a prediction, if you'll allow?

The Olympics will happen and China will get the most Gold Medals. USA will come second and Russia third.

Great Britain will be the highest placing European nation(s).

If I'm right, the OP might want to check his prophecy books for the name Malfie Henpox. I hope I'm there. He should at least acknowledge my superior and more specific prediction skillz.

Is what the Holy Spirit said on 2012-05-03 be sufficient that the 2012 Olympic Games scheduled to be held in London from 07-27 to 08-12 will not be held? Why will it be cancelled? Because of the nuclear World War III. The war will start on a Wednesday: 06-27, 07-04, 07-11, or 07-18. I do not know which country it is when it will be Wednesday. My choice is 07-04 in the US because it is its Independence Day and is a public holiday. Most likely, there will be a surprise attack a la 1973 Arab-Israel War.

That works for me. Do you promise to come back here after your prediction fails and admit you were wrong?

So on July 19th, if war has not started, will you come back and admit you were incorrect?

Ah, yes.... the 2012 Nuclear Winter Olympics. They'll be something to tell your grandchildren about. I'm looking forward to the new logo with the five little mushroom clouds.

But the point about the melting snow keyed me to another problem for the faithful: PeaceCrusader, I suppose you're getting your flock up to higher elevations? You do realize that global nuclear war, with thousands of warheads from every corner of the earth will melt all the snow and ice IN THE WORLD, RIGHT? The total of all that ice, turned into water, will likely raise the level of the oceans by more than seven meters. Much of your homeland, including Manila, Cebu and Subic will be under water. (As will my house - I'm currently about four feet above sea level, I believe.)

Has your prophet specified whether his very aggressive death target includes flood victims? Or is he solely counting victims of the blasts? I make out huge populations that'd just plain drown. All of Bangladesh, Shanghai, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Los Angeles, Yokohama, Mumbai, Madras, New York City,London, Santos,... etc...

It's only a public holiday in America. No one else cares. But I'm interested to know how much you've spent on your bomb shelter and supplies? You have got those things, haven't you?

The crisis will come when the closing ceremony goes ahead as planned. Expect a vanishing act about then.
That's the problem with making predictions tied to specific dates, your credibility has a deadline. Most prophets have the sense to stay away from actual dates, when they use them it is sometimes a sign that they really believe their prophecy, I don't know if that is the case here.

@Lamuella, #686

I will sure do. If what I impart to you would not happen, I will recant what I said and apologize to all of you and will stop what I do on the Internet. I will search for the only true God.

However, I believe I have found Him, the only true God. I firmly believe in what He says just like the birth of Jesus on May 23 and His crucifixion and death on August 17 that He revealed are true and correct. I, myself, have proven them to be correct.

How about you, Lamuella? What will you do when they happen? It will not be a long wait anymore. It may happen tomorrow, 2012-06-27. It is very specific. A Wednesday. The last Wednesday is 2012-07-18.

Well there's a 67% chance that Lamuella will be dead if you're right so in that case Lamuella won't be doing anything.

If Lamuella is in the 33% of survivors I expect they'll be quite busy trying to survive in a heavily contaminated environment. It's highly unlikely that under those circumstances Lamuella will find time to post how wrong they are.

@Foolmewunz, #688


I do not have any flock. I am the only one in my “The Way to Life Christian Ministry”. And I am not recruiting anyone to join me.

I thought we will be a “nuclear winter”. Isn’t it that in a “nuclear winter”, the sea water level will even go down because of freezing? I do not know. The Holy Spirit did not mention this to us, AFAIK.

Your analysis of a global nuclear war melting the snow and ice, thus raising the sea water level by about seven meters, seems logical. That may be the reason why the Holy Spirit said that Manila will be erased from the map. I do not know if it would be because of earthquake or tsunami or the rising of sea water level or what have you.

He said that only a third of mankind will survive. Those that survive the nuclear holocaust will be subject to questioning regarding their belief in God. If you say that you believe in God, the conquerors will kill person. The Holy Bible in Matthew 10:28 says, “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Similar to this is Luke 12:4.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with your prediction, I'm just a pedantic bastage.

So, pretending you're right about everything, the holy spirit wants me to survive the initiation of the nuclear war by being aware it's coming and staying indoors for 3 days, after which I should go outside and continue my life and promptly get cancer from all the fallout that's going to still be extremely deadly for the next many years since either he our you don't understand fallout propagation or nuclear half-lives. The holy spirit's a dick.

Yeah that would be a heavy bummer bad karma situation. It's my wife's birthday tomorrow and a nuclear war could throw a real dampener on the day.

Well, at least that would mean I won't have to go to the library board meeting. They surely wouldn't hold the meeting in the midst of global nuclear holocaust, would they?

PC, how do you know you will be among the one-third who will survive?

The U.S. will probably will more medals than China. Of course, the nuclear war and Chinese invasion of the Philippines could play havoc with the outcome of certain events.

Friday the 13th

Well, actually it's.... WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27TH here in Asia. Philippines weather reports that it's 31o, and not 3100, so I'm guessing there's been no flight of ICBMs. Just checked the northern border here (with China) and there's a back up because of a fleet of timber trucks, but no sign of the People's Army.

I guess we have to wait until next Wednesday, eh?

30 Days and Counting Down...

Is what the Holy Spirit said on 2012-05-03 be sufficient that the 2012 Olympic Games scheduled to be held in London from 07-27 to 08-12 will not be held? Why will it be cancelled? Because of the nuclear World War III. The war will start on a Wednesday: 06-27, 07-04, 07-11, or 07-18. I do not know which country it is when it will be Wednesday. My choice is 07-04 in the US because it is its Independence Day and is a public holiday. Most likely, there will be a surprise attack a la 1973 Arab-Israel War.

Of course the US will be TOTALLY suprised if china were to attack on the 4th of july, after all no country has ever launced an attack against another during a national holiday in the history of mankind, let alone the US or its allies, so time to give the entire armed forces a day off!

Alas, not today Peacecrusader, its early morning here and the magically teleporting chinese army is nowhere to be seen in europe.

I do not know the Welsh philosopher Dame Shirley Bassey that you are referring to. I heard the phrase “history repeats itself” before but I do not know where it came from. Since there is a pattern, that is why I say “history repeats itself.” The pattern is that the 1944 Olympic Games was scheduled to be held in London (also) but was cancelled because of World War II. This time, it will be cancelled because of World War III.

Another thing is that Germany hosted the 1936 Olympic Games. Then on 1939-09-01, it invaded Poland which started World War II. China hosted the 2008 Olympic Games. China may this time have the motive to eliminate the US in order to get the resource-rich Spratly Islands and the Scarborough Shoal on the South China Sea.

14*25 = lots

Yes, I'm sure the resources on those specks of land would like totally make up for the massive cost china would have to pay to fight the US.

Also, you are aware that a singular event is NOT a pattern right?

And you think they'll do this because China will carefully analyse the cost/benefit of grabbing the Spratly Islands versus the downside of starting a nuclear conflagration and decide that on balance it's worth having its cities reduced to radioactive cinders, its vast manufacturing base utterly devastated and its paying customers worldwide destroyed just so long as it gets its hands on whatever oil is under the islands.

Because, you know, after a few centuries when the world population recovers and the economy picks up again, that oil's probably going to become fairly valuable.

Except for the fact that they won't be cancelled. Dame Shirley Bassey is the foremost proponent of the Can Belto school of Histrionic Ululation.

well, it's 12:25PM BST as I type this, and I can report that there have been several nuclear strikes launched today.

Wait, I must issue a correction. There have been zero nuclear strikes launched today.

2012-06-27, Wednesday, is about to end here. But the day has just started in the US. So the day is not finished yet. If nuclear strikes do not happen in the US today, there are other days, like 07-04, 07-11 and 07-18. At least, from 31 days (06-21 to 07-21 inclusive) to just four days to choose from.

You have been saying that the 2012 Olympic Games will not be cancelled because the nuclear World War III will not happen. How about when it happens as what the Holy Spirit revealed? What will you do if you are among the one-third who will survive?
