As if it's not enough for the non-believers and skeptics that so many see a "chastisement" -- major world events forming -- there is also the outer region of prophecy: that region that sees the most extreme events imaginable.

In short, there are those who see the end of the world.

We do not subscribe to this. We tend toward the so-called 1990 prophecy that foresaw "the inevitable onset of the change of era.

"Your era is ending. Soon the world will not be the world you know. I am not speaking of a barren world, or one depopulated, but of the end of your technological era. Many inventions of mankind will be broken down and there will be more of a peasant attitude and way of life everywhere."

That's the template we have followed. Of course, every prophecy is linked by secularists -- by skeptics -- to "end-of-the-world" stuff. It's their way of discrediting all prophecy as extreme.

But there are many and growing predictions of massive events.
