Die 3-tägige Finsternis Visionen einer globalen Weltkrise, gefolgt von einem kosmischen Eingriff Seit rund 1000 Jahren sagen hellsehende Menschen eine globale Krise voraus, die auf dem Höhepunkt eines kulturellen und moralischen Niedergangs eintreten soll - eine Krise, die in einem Weltkrieg endet. Bevor dieser Weltkrieg jedoch zu einem alles vernichtenden Atomkrieg eskaliert, würde eine kosmische, nicht irdische Kraft oder Macht in das Geschehen eingreifen - so die betreffenden Prophezeiungen - und dem Weltkrieg noch rechtzeitig ein Ende setzen.

Er hat die Prophezeiungen zahlreicher Seher analysiert und interpretiert. Die konkreten Beschreibungen einer 3-tägigen Finsternis finden sich nicht nur bei Hellsehern im christlichen Abendland. Entsprechende Prophezeiungen von nordamerikanischen Indianern, Mongolen und aus...
