Seventh Prophecy: From the heavens comes...

FROM THE SKY

It is night time; an enormous and incandescent ball that carries the speed of a projectile appears on the Dixie sky. Horrified people contemplate the great torch that lights the night leaving on its path a tail of dense and blazing gasses. After crossing the skies it falls generating a colossal explosion followed by a column of fire that rises several kilometers high in the sky. The floor is shaken, and it shakes the trees too. Animals desperately run from one place to another. A light that is produced by the event floodlights heaven and earth until dawn. A very fine layer of ashes covers the roofs and the leaves of the trees releasing a peculiar smell.


At this point, the author says that he wasn’t allowed to see more of this event.

Sixth Prophecy: The Great Epidemic

THE GREAT EPIDEMIC Some time has passed after the destruction of great city that rose as a monument to human haughtiness and power. The city has been left in ruins and agony. Meanwhile those who managed to leave the city on time, just before the quarantine, remember the horror of those anxious moments. But many of those survivors carry in their blood a sleeping deadly poison. Some time after, the epidemic starts to unleash again in the biggest cities. Two out of six people are infected. The number of victims increases everyday, until the numbers cannot be counted. The government wonders why they have to face one more tragedy when they haven’t got out of the previous ones. In spite of the high medical technology, and the support of the government, the plague cannot be stopped. As a consequence, foreigners do not want to visit the US and Americans are refused entry in other countries. The Great City will be called “the coursed city” as the plague was originated there. People blame everything for the tragedy, God, the government, the health system and destiny. The borders with Mexico and Canada are militarized, in order to protect those countries from any infiltration of immigrants from the US. The main feeling among population is of powerlessness. The haughtiness and arrogance are becoming something of the past. The epidemic has been stopped, but the damage has been done, the marks of its presence were left in almost every town. Up to this time US had been the focus of controversy and attention from all over the world. Countries used to look at this nation scrutinizing day to day and step by step the decisions it made. The US is compared to a beast that has been rendered powerless, not because of the action of other nations, but the weight of its own actions. Enemies realize they no longer need to fight this beast, as the beast is now trying to fight against chains and shackles it imposed to itself for a long time.
