Revelation 13: 666 And 888 Day Intervals, And Recent History If one begins at August 1, 1914, and advances in time in intervals of 666 days, there appears to be a pattern where some important historical events occur near these 666 day intervals. I consider 666 days, because 666 is a number of occult significance, usually given an evil association, being the number of the Antichrist in the Bible's last chapter, the Book of Revelation. We begin the 666 day intervals with the beginning of World War 1, because that is when the old world began to disappear and the rate of change in the world rapidly increased. Also, note that 17 of the 666 day intervals is almost exactly 31 years (within 1 day). With the list of 666 day intervals, I will list historical events occurring near them, and also important astronomical and astrological events during these time intervals. And finally, I project this pattern into the future, to attempt to predict future events. Beginning with World War 1's beginning, about August 1, 1914, if you advance in intervals of 666 days: 3 x 666 days Jan., 1920. On January 10, 1920, the League of Nations was formed.

Revelation 13: prophecy calendar, past dates (before 1998) New Age, prophecy, and astrology predictions of world events A listing below of important past dates, of importance to the theories of Revelation 13. This calendar is also continued here for 2003, and beyond. 4713 B.C. Beginning date for the Julian Calendar , used in Astronomy and science, where days are counted from this date. You can also count years from this date. 1377-1358 B.C., reign of Queen Nefertiti and Pharoah Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten) in Egypt, and temporary estabishment of a monotheistic sun-worship religion that did not last beyond his term, see the Jean Dixon prophecy that relates to this pharoah. 560-483 B.C. Guatama Buddha begins the Buddhist religion. 5 B.C.-1 B.C. Probable time for the birth of Christ. On June 17, 2 B. C., there was an astronomical conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where the two planets actually seemed to merge in the sky. This is one possible explanation for the Star of Bethlehem legend. Note that on April 23, 1998, and Feb. 23, 1999, there were similar close approaches of Venus and Jupiter, as seen in the sky. These conjunctions in 1998 and 1999 could be connected with the rise of the Antichrist (Russian President Putin) in Russia in August 1999 and year 2000.

On March 31, 2000 - MT. USU VOLCANO, ON THE NORTHERN JAPANESE ISLAND OF HOKKAIDO, ERUPTED, spewing hot rock, gas and a plume of ash and smoke over the snowy countryside of Japan's northernmost main island. Experts monitoring seismic activity had predicted the eruption, and had already evacuated more than 11,000 residents from homes at its base. Roughly 51,000 people live in this town and two others near the 2,416-foot mountain, 475 miles north of Tokyo. Mount Usu last erupted in 1978 after a series of earthquakes. Mudslides triggered by that eruption killed three people. May 8 - More than 8,000 residents of the Usu communities of Date, Sobetsu and Abuta moved to evacuation centers as seismic activity near the volcano began to increase once again. At least 1,523 tremors have been recorded since the beginning of the week. Japan's Meteorological Agency warned residents of Hokkaido that mudslides, triggered by deposits of volcanic ash spewing from ongoing eruptions, were possible at Mount Usu Volcano. Officials cautioned that the ash could also damage the region's agricultural crops. April 18 - Mount Usu Volcano exploded once again on Monday, spewing black smoke and forcing officials to close key roads and to stop evacuated residents' visits to their homes. An aerial survey revealed that craters on the west side of the mountain were very active. The smoke plumes were caused by underground magma explosions. Volcanologists are monitoring falling levels of underground water that has been responsible for restraining violent magma activity.

Lord God Jinnai Prince Arnold, Mo 63010 Sep 1999 posted March 29, 2000 18:30 [I copied this message from the Natural Distasters Model forum because this is the forum it should be in] I've read thru your new model. It seems a whole lot better and a lot more detailed as well as more concise and to the point. Distaster Linkage Chart I think you did a good job with the linkage of disasters causing other disasters. Some things you need to change however. Huricanes should also only happen if there is a signifigant amount of oceanic tiles. Not that it will affect anything out there except ships and in the future perhaps some cities, but Hurricanes need this large body of water to form. These rules can be bent for scenerios. Also we're talking per turn in which it is a min. of 1 month? Hurricanes can affect entire coastlines which is deffinatly more than 1 square. Also on earthquakes causing volcanoes will only happen in certain techtonic areas. (Subduction Zones). Also we need to really add another thing for volcanoes (as well as a disaster in and of itself). Landslides and Run-on-Landslides. These would happen with volcanic eruptions, earthquakes or rarely on their own. These only happen in moutanous regions. The reason these are needed I don't think the volcanoe and earthquake disasters could simulate the results of these on their own w/o focing it to happen everytime. You could prob forget regular landslides if u wanted and just worry about run-ons, but if were picking disasters that would affect a size of 1 square signifigantly then run-ons easily do since then can travel for many miles after they reach level land (or uphill even).

Dante's Peak Reviews and Comments On Friday, February 7, 1997 movie theaters erupted with the first of two volcano movies to hit the big screen this year. Dante's Peak, an action adventure movie staring Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton, is about a small town threatened by a large volcano. Jack Lockwood a volcanologist who was the technical advisior to Dante's Peak, wrote the following comment: Dante's Peak really IS the most realistic "volcano adventure flick" ever made, but the problem is that lots of viewers didn't recognize the real stuff as being realistic! Volcanologist Jon Fink has pointed out that this is one of the few examples of a "scientific adventure film" that gets higher marks from knowledgeable scientists than from the general public usually the opposite is true and those in the know give it lower marks than the general public! It will be interesting to see what the public thinks of the film "Volcano" when it comes out this spring. That film is pure sci-fi with no scientifically-redeeming virtues, but maybe that's what the public wants! But dear viewers, please take it from me despite some hokey spots (e.g. the truck driving over lava), the volcanology was mostly pretty real and Pierce Brosnan acted like a pretty real volcanologist and I know I are one too! PRESS RELEASE: Geologists critique DANTE'S PEAK DANTE'S PEAK , despite some obvious and laughable technical goofs, still merits a B+. That was the conclusion of a group from the Puget Sound chapter of the Association for Women Geoscientists (AWG) who attended a weekend showing of Universal's new volcano epic.
