[Vision2020] Predictions For August 2003

[Carl Westberg]

I'm a little concerned about this.  I live in Moscow, which is going to be 
abandoned next month.  I work at the University of Idaho, which, if 90% of 
all universities are going to cancel fall semester, may well be one of those 
institutions that do so.  These two events alone, not to mention the others, 
cannot help but have a significant impact on my lifestyle.

>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.
