Well, Moscow's own Mr. Stambler, prophet of the world, seer for God, future
Apostle for the LDS, and future President of the United States, managed to
get a 0% on his August prophecies.
I'm in great hopes that he will now go find counseling and leave this list
alone.
Best,
Dale

Subject: [Vision2020] Predictions For August 2003
The Month of August 2003
Too many problems in the world now. A mathematician could not solve them.
The Book of Revelation in The New Testament explains why all these events
are happening: These are the End Times, it is to be expected. Here are my
predictions for the month of August 2003.
1) There will be a nuclear war, somewhere in the world.
2) Millions of people, worldwide, will die -as if spontaneously- from
inexplicable causes.
3) 90% of all universities and colleges will cancel Fall semester 2003.
4) The East Coast of the United States will displace at least 3 million of
its current population.
5) Pullman, Washington will be totally abandoned.
6) Moscow, Idaho will be all but abandoned.
7) The United States will experience an acute gas shortage. Rural areas
will be most severely affected by this. Many rural communities will be
abandoned.
8) Train transportation will be the only possible long distance mode of
travel in the United States.
9) The Internet will crash, never to be fully functional again.
10) The United States federal government will go into hiding.
11) Crooks and wrongdoers will inexplicably confess all their law-breaking
deeds. Then, they will inexplicably die.
12) Europe will be overrun by gangs.
13) The food supply in the Northwest will be secure, only if food is only
grown in greenhouses. All other farming will not yield crops.
14) All foreign nationals in the United States will be urged to permanently
leave the United States. Violence against foreign nationals will
unfortunately become a regular occurrence.
15) Christ will spare no one, who has been slated for dying.
16) Millions of married couples will find themselves inexplicably and
permanently separated.
17) All those who fornicate after receiving a personal sign from God not to,
will perish within 7 months.
How prediction works
Prediction is not at all like science. Either the prediction comes to pass,
or it doesn't. There is no in-between. In science, there is much room for
error. But when predicting, there is no room for error: All predictions
must come true in order for anyone predicting to have any credibility.
Either the person predicting is 100% accurate, or they are 100% incorrect.
There is no middle ground when predictions are made, because too much is at
stake. Statistics are useless, because all predictions are based on the
future, and only marginally on the past.
Rapidly uncontrollable world events like the civil war in Liberia; the
inhumane conquest of the Iraqi people by the United States; the almost
random death, worldwide, that happens daily. All of our lives will soon be
radically changed by the "unpredictability" of world events. But it is not
that these events are unpredictable, but rather that they are unstoppable.
Any Christian knows that The End Times are upon us. Death, then, will
become an ordinary, daily occurrence for young and old, all around the
world. Without prediction, humanity has much less of a chance to survive.
Only God-given prediction can help humans organize in these very deadly and
unimaginable times.
The perfection of God's timing
Only God knows precisely when an event should happen. For example, if God
assigns a specific time when He will communicate some specific information
to human beings, then that information will not be given before or after the
appropriate time. All ongoing revelation from God is given to human beings
with divine perfection, and that always means "at the right time."
When 1 + 1 does not equal 2
How is it that predictions come to pass in non-linear fashion? That's the
nature of prediction. True, predicted events happen as if in a whirlwind
that has no beginning, no ending and seemingly comes out of nowhere.
Predicted events can be subtle or obvious, and they always defy logic. Only
people with a decent amount of faith can understand and appreciate the true
characteristics of predicted events.
In Christ,
Douglas Stambler
(Moscow, Idaho)
