Prophecy 2008
Rev. Kathleen Cribb
1. Mild and dry weather for most of the year with a hot and dry summer. This creates water shortage problems and big pot holes. It extends beyond Tidewater.
2. Global warming may be blamed for our weather conditions. However, I think it has more to do with weather conditions in South East Asia and Africa. Something is changing in the lower hemisphere that is indirectly affecting our weather. It is also affecting the habits of fish.
3. Our Tidewater firemen and utility workers are going to help out in Latin America due to some cataclysmic event.
4. The president of Mexico will say something that will make our nation unhappy. The secret road project between Mexico and Texas may come to an abrupt halt.
5. Possible political unrest at the Panama Canal. Our freight ships may need to find ways to avoid going through the canal for a period of time.
6. Bhutto’s true murderer will be exposed. The plot will unfold in the newspapers of the world. Shortly after that happens a book will be published comparing the Bhutto family to the Kennedy family and the Kennedys’ murder plot will unravel in the newspapers too. The similarities will be un-nerving.
7. An island disappears in the Aleutians Islands. It sinks into a black abyss.
8. I see a colony of houseboats nestled in a quiet bay. The weather has always been very predictable and baby boomers are retiring here. The water warms up beyond normal temperatures and they are inundated with jelly fish. It will make the news because the change in current is a red flag for something else.
9. Schools of fish appear near the shore line; who normally are found out in the deeper ocean waters. It is a precursor to an earthquake under the ocean. The earth quake will cause a small tsunami.
10. Capital buildings all over the globe are dotting the landscape like acne on a teenager's face. Some are little whiteheads, some are ugly black-heads and some are awful boils. They represent governments all over the world erupting in some degree of unrest. Ugly truths will fill the newspapers like gook erupting from pimples. Some countries will have brand new forms of government, some will have new regimes, some will experience a transfer of power from one political party to another. For the first quarter of the year there will be more assassinations or hopefully just attempts at them.
11. A male Christian religious leader will die this year. His funeral will draw the attention of the entire world as if he were a head of state or some international leader.
12. One of our bridge tunnels springs a leak. It draws attention to the age and condition of all our tunnels. Another road tax will be proposed to help pay for the restorations needed. Traffic will be grid-locked for many months during the repair shut-downs of the tunnels.
13. The port of Norfolk will get two new cruise lines to dock there.
14. A training school of some kind for the cruise ships will open its doors in Norfolk.
15. Immigration authorities will set up some kind of registering depot at one of the Universities in Norfolk. It will be part of a pilot program effort coordinated by both the Virginia State government and the federal government. Perhaps as many as six different states will coordinate this effort.
16. A little child is shot while he is playing. The child is wearing a mask and brandishing a toy water gun. He is pretending to be an action hero while he is in the grocery store with his mom.
17. Someone writes a book about the memories’ of Russian leader, Mikhail Gorbachev. Many Soviet secrets will be exposed from the private notes written by the leader. A man still in a high position will be forced to retire from public office to escape the public criticisms. It felt like President Gorbachev was dead at the time of the publication. However, he is still alive today so I may be wrong on that detail.
18. A secret hidden in the ocean waters up near Alaska will be revealed by a camera in outer space.
19. Another secret hidden in the Atlantic Ocean in the Bermuda Triangle will be photographed from outer space .
20. Unions will gain a foothold in an industry that has managed to keep them out up until now.
21. The Americans are experiencing a cold war between the work force and high management. CEOs will be treated like government leaders and their lives will require round the clock security. The cold war between the rich and the poor could become quite volatile. Out-sourcing work will trigger strikes and trade embargos by the citizens all over the USA.
22. Small mom and pop businesses will become the in-place to shop.
23. A cruise ship captain will achieve hero status following his cruise ship being under attack during a high seas piracy attempt. This may be something that actually takes place this year or it is a documentary movie solute to a captain for a real event that took place some years ago.
24. Déjà vu will be in our newspapers and on TV news. A seaside hotel will be attacked. It will be reminiscent of the Bali Hilton. It will not be the same resort. It will be an English speaking hotel in an English speaking country. It may have gambling casinos around it or in it.
25. Also a plane will fly into a building. It will be a small plane but it will destroy the predominantly glass building target. It is not a super structure like the twin towers. It contains the offices of wealthy attorneys and white collar businesses. Again déjà vu will be the headline.
26. A huge mega church with a big round roof has serious problems with the roof and the structure of the building.
27. Weather conditions and perhaps 17 years locust create a shortage of coffee beans, sugar, and oranges. Prices go up fast like the gas prices. Americans get resourceful and create substitutes.
28. A TV show on Sunday mornings gets cut off by the network. It maybe the Ernest Ansley Gospel Hour. It is initially replaced with a news show. It will evolve into a New Age religious program teaching Tai Chi and meditation. It will expose the public to some widely accepted metaphysical principles.
29. Vandals deface some of our national monuments. It makes world news via a blog. Many groups of foreign radicals enjoy seeing our nation’s most embarrassing moments.
30. Finally, on a personal basis, each of us will experience a joyful new beginning. This new phase may be a new career, a new aspect of an old career, a complete change of lifestyle due to winning the lottery or maybe even retirement. No matter what the change requires each of us learns how to live in a state of joy in spite of chaos around us.
Bless you! Kathleen
