a. Volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, droughts, famines, rioting
===

I p 170 (cIV-67)

A very bright, previously unknown comet will appear and coincide with
the time of great geological troubles, with earthquakes and volcanoes
erupting and disrupting weather systems. This will cause widespread
famines and droughts, and social upheavals in unexpected places.
Nations that are considered prosperous and powerful, particularly
western nations, will be weakened. They will be torn with civil
strife and rioting as people  migrate to areas that have water and
can support crop-growing. The social upheaval and weakening of
political structures will help the Antichrist come to power.

I p 167 (cVIII-29)

A great and rich power will be subject to serious natural disasters,
particularly earthquakes and flooding, and rend the nation from end
to end, causing enormous conflict, despair, and misery. The wealthy
power will be bankrupted  attempting to deal with its disasters.
Three other great nations will send aid to help the citizens survive.

I p172

Earth changes will take place that will help the Antichrist's drive
for world conquest. In central Europe, southern Europe, and in the
Near East, particularly around the eastern end of the Mediterranean,
there'll be severe floods. As a result of the disruption to local
governments by the natural disasters, the Antichrist will move his
troops in under the disguise of helping the people restore civil
order, but really use this as a device to take over countries, and to
use the populations like slaves.

Serious economic problems will persist along with great social unrest,
contributing to the ease with which the Antichrist can seize power.
The frightened and hopeful populace will be vulnerable to his
demagoguery. The Antichrist will use the disasters as opportunities
to overthrow governments and sneak spies into a country. Martial law
will be declared in many areas to stop rioting and looting. The
Middle East, the source of his power, will not be as devastated as
the rest of the world. He offers assistance to other countries trying
to recover but he will eventually stab them in the back.


b. Death of world leader and revolt coincides with comet
===

I. p 121 (cII-62)

The death of a world leader will coincide with the appearance of a
comet. The comet will be clearly visible where the leader dies. The
country is in the Middle East. The death of the leader and widespread
crop failures and hunger in that year will provoke a revolt. It will
start when the comet is visible but will continue for five hundred
days. Also, a hundred people will contribute to the revolt in such a
way that it will break forth and become open enough and wide-spread
enough to capture the world's attention.


c. Fiasco from communication breakdown between two superpowers
===

I p144 (II-48)

Through a mistake by a leader an international incident will  occur.
The main problem will be a breakdown in communications between the
two powers involved. The situation is a lot more complex than will
apear ont he surface. The chief, the leader involved, will feel great
regret about what happened and will want to continue his career and
help correct the situation, to help make up for the adverse  affects
of it.

But he will be hung, symbolically, by others wishing to take his
position in the organization. He will be hung so far as politics and
his career are concerned. It will almost be like committing suicide
because in the end he will be a broken man and not be able to do
anything about the situation. The entire event will be viewed as a
fiasco from both sides. It will have very harmful and even
cataclysmic consequences.

The situation develops when an enemy or one who is against the U.S.
will take advantage of the incident in an unethical way, by sending a
horde of agents working for their side into this area. The world will
be outraged by the action.


I p 158 (cII-35)

A breakdown in communications between the US and Russia will result in
a  misunderstanding and deep resentments  between the Kremlin and the
White House. Some will risk their careers to try to tame the
situation but will be silenced, and "burned" such as by demotions to
obscure positions.


d. Soviet/American submarine/naval confrontation
===

I p144 (II-48)

In the southwest quadrant of the Atlantic ocean, missiles will splash
into the ocean near a partially submerged ship and a submarine. The
submarine commander is antsy to engage fire. An American surface ship
will be in danger. The Soviet commander of the sub will have secret
orders the rest of the crew is not aware of, which are to antagonize
and  provoke. He gets carried away.

The American commander has been ordered to defend the coast of the US
but to avoid starting a war. In the process of defending his ship
from the submarine, he strikes the submarine and feels he may have
sunk it, and agonizes that the action would be interpreted as
starting a war and not an act of defense. The event will lead to the
time of troubles and will have large historical significance when
seen in retrospect.

e. Crazed leader launches atom bombs on Mediterranean and Europe
===

I p 181 (cII-3)

During continuing unrest in the middle east, one of the leaders will
be able to get ahold of an atom bomb. He will be crazy and go to the
greatest lengths over the smallest thing and will  not hesitate to
use the weapon because his obsessions with deadly warfare. The people
he is warring against retaliate with a nuclear weapon. The country
has a coast on the Mediterranean.

One of the bombs will land in the Mediterranean instead of the land,
poisoning all the fish. The passages of trade in the region will be
disrupted so that the people on the other coast of the Mediterranean
will be desperate for food and will eat the fish anyway. It will
happen near the east coast of the Mediterranean in a region of
dark-colored cliffs.

I p 183 (cII-4)

The atomic weapon being dropped by one of the Middle Eastern countries
will spark off yet another war on top of that war. Eurpoean and
Western nations will try to interfere to diminish the threat to oil
supplies. When the Eurpoean countries try to interfere, the crazed
leader who earlier dropped the atomic bomb will use the rest of his
arsenal on Europe, most striking the closer southern part.

The Eurpoean Mediterranean coast, particularly that of Italy and
France, will be almost uninhabitable, and Italy will get the brunt.
This leader is not the Antichrist but helps to set the stage for the
Antichrist to rise to power with little or no opposition. The
Antichrist will wield great power and authority; no one can argue
with him.

f. Third world country leader creates strife
===

I p 185 (cIII-60)

A "young dark man" will arise as a leader in a Third World country;
his main goal is to unite the other Third World countries to do
battle with the superpowers. The area of conflict will be in eastern
Europe and the Middle East, particularly  around the Adriatic and the
Caspian seas and the eastern Mediterranean. No definite winner will
emerge but the strife will help set the stage for the Antichrist.
Some prophecies in the Bible refer to events in this region (Israel
will be involved).


g. Antichrist profits from radar research in Europe
===

I p240 (cI-6)

Research on a more sophisticated type of radar and sensing devices
will give greater information to the operator, i.e. an airplane
pilot.  But the first experiments with the technology will fail in a
disastrous accident, when the "sympathetic vibrations" emitted by the
device cause the chassis of the plane to become weakened and
dangerous due to dissolved bonds of the molecules in the metal. The
scientists involved with the research will have to temporarily
abandon the research because of diplomatic breakdowns, the threat of
war, etc.

This will take place before the Antichrist comes to full power. It
will happen in Europe at the time the Antichrist is strengthing his
base of power in the Middle East. The devices are currently under
development but have not been tested yet. But this is another
historical event that will permit the Antichrist to take over Europe.


h. Wargame simulation by Britain in Europe leads to disaster
===

I p 164 (cII-2)

In a wargame maneuver involving Great Britain and European troops a
malfunctioning circuit in a computer will cause the "real-world"
situation to play out instead of the simulation. The teams are
labelled "white" and "blue".  As a result of the error actual
defenses will be activated and real bombs will be dropped on the
areas of the game and cause a  tragic international incident.

i. American electoral college voting stalemate
===

I p 148 (cVII-41)

The presidents of the U.S., a supposedly free country, have been
abusing their power to an increasingly greater extent. During a time
of social unrest even more so than the period of Viet Nam and
Watergate, the electoral college will be evenly split over the
election of the new president. The process will stalemate, with many
people clamoring for  whichever candidate they voted for, causing
enormous tension in the country. Internationally it will be a
sensitive  situation.

Because of the split, and the extremely volatile and explosive social
unrest, putting either candidate in office instead of the other could
start a civil war or a revolution. After a long time of impassioned
speeches invoking patriotism and the founding fathers, a compromise
solution of holding another election will be taken, and a candidate
will be installed without disaster.

j. Earth abuse causes agricultural devastation in U.S. and Britain
===

I p 309 (cII-95)

Man will upset the balance of the earth and cause great changes in the
climate and seasons, causing much hardship and famine. Major
agricultural lands producing a lot of grain and food for the world
today will become frozen and will be unusable. The people who live on
this land and grow the food will  flee like rats leaving a sinking
ship.

There will be dissension and fighting over the land. As a result of
the panic,  incompetent decisions are made by the people in power
under enormous stress. Poor decisions will escalate into major
disasters. The U.S. and the United Kingdom in particular will
experience the dissension and destruction.

k. Underwater Soviet submarine base defanged by diplomacy
===

I p162(cIII-21)

The Soviets have built an experimental underwater submarine base and
dome in the Adriatic sea. They use it for subversive submarine
operations. When it is discovered, due to pressure from statesmen,
diplomats, and politicians, it will be brought to the surface and the
submarines will be taken away through political maneuverings.

l. Aliens shot by paranoid nation, bacteriological agents released
===

I. p124 (cII-91)

Aliens tried to contact us in the Siberia Tunguska explosion in the
1900s. Similarly they will again visit the earth.  The Soviets are
doing secret weapons research and have energy fields guarding
northern approach corridors. Another spaceship will arrive,
paralleling this incident. When the aliens' spaceship enters the
atmosphere the fields will cause it to malfunction and many of the
crew are killed.

When they crash, soldiers will be on hand to capture or kill them. The
ship will harbor microrganisms that will react in bizarre ways to the
earth climate and cause plagues of unknown origin, that cannot be
understood because of the alien causative organism. The country will
be at war or fixing to go to war and will have a paranoid mindset.
Thinking the crash is a result of enemy weapons, the soldiers will
shoot anything that moves.

m. Alien probe of the Watchers discovered by scientists
===

I p262 (cIV-28)

During the time of troubles, when the sun is between the earth and
Venus, i.e. from the point of view of Earth Venus is hidden by the
sun, the Watchers (aliens) will be exposed through the powers of
observation and communication. Scientists involved with
radiotelescopy and related disciplines will observe an anomaly, and
as they focus on it they come to the realization that it is a strong
indication of a real UFO. The readings are caused by an instrument
sent by the Watchers to observe mankind.

The scientists and the populace will learn more about the probe and
the Watchers. But  internal dissension will be created by
fundamentalists because the existence of aliens is not consistent
with their worldview. This will take place in approximately 1997 or
1998. The Watchers are returning to mankind at this time because they
are trying to help him through gentle prodding and increasing
spiritual love. They have always kept an eye on us and have observed
our growth and development. They're looking forward to the day we can
join the universal community and help with their project in a way
that's unique to us.
