    Yeh I was being sarcastic.

    In my lifetime he (or his interpretators) predicted nothing beforehand and everything in hindsight.

    The claim for the last few popes has been that they're either the last or second last. World should have ended a few times at this point. :p

    Trump survives the year as President, he'll ride out any controversies regardless.

    General Election in Ireland before Brexit as FF walk out of C&S talks with FG. Despite public unrest over housing, they don't trust SF enough, haven't forgiven FF enough yet and therefore election results in FG led govt propped up by Labour, Greens, Indos. SF become largest opposition party. MM resigns as FF leader, contest between Michael McGrath, Eamon O'Cuiv and Stephen Donnelly to succeed him. Donnelly wins, radically alters FF policies.....FF then do well at the local and European elections.

    A Brexiteer replaces Theresa May as PM, but doesn't last long as No Deal Brexit on 30th March results in chaos at Dover and widespread panic across the UK causes government to collapse and a GE held in May. Corbyn becomes PM. The ERG breaks away from the main Tory block.

    Merkel resigns as Chancellor and AKK replaces her, Macron faces further protests. The EU decides to invest heavily in youth employment schemes, housing, and education in order to show young people that their future is in the EU.

    More Mass Shootings in USA, Trump offers thoughts & prayers but nothing else.

    Ireland Rugby team wins World Cup after beating NZ in the final after Jacob Stockdale scores a try in the last minute.

    Deaths of Pope Emeritus Benedict, Jimmy & Rosalind Carter, Betty White, Sir David Attenborough and Gay Byrne.

    The Queen & Prince Philip both survive the year.

    Ireland and the UK both do very well at the Eurovision Song Contest, with 1 possibly winning.

    Poor Gay Byrne. I hope he is not reading here of his oft-predicted demise.

    Anyways, cryogenic preservation technology will take a huge leap forward in 2019 enabling Skooterblue to be revived in 2033 (with a trumpet blast) just in time to witness the Second Coming.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,013 ✭✭✭✭James Brown


    The Queen of England will pop her clogs. Trump will resign citing Liberal media something something. FF/FG will try privatise elements of currently publicly owned water concerns. We'll have a GE and FF will narrowly top FG to form another sham government. Varadkar will leave politics having been distracted by something shiny elsewhere.

    No, go research the prophecies exactly. The second last was "Of the olives" which was Pope Benedicts order was the Benedictines whose crest are the olives and also known as "Olivetians". The head of the Jesuits is known as the Black Pope, hence Pope Francis is the last pope. This also feeds into Nostradamus prediction about "an end for candle wax and a time for Honey"

    St Mally, said it would be Peter the Roman, who would be the last, while Pete a Roman is Francies actual birth father (before moving to Arg), it's hard to know if he ever took that description upon himself.

    The markers are ever clearer. Now my buddy is more into it than me. It has to do with the celestial arrangement of stars and markers in society. The bit about the virgin with the crown of 12 stars could be interpreted as the EU and the Dragon could be what is coming.

    Brexit will go ahead, but Ireland will lose a lot of the single market integration to avoid the hard border that would otherwise be imposed by a clean break Brexit.

    I've read this 10 times and I still can't figure out wtf you're saying!

    I see that becoming the future but check out predictions for Charles becoming king. He will be deeply unpopular and will take his own life. I have no doubt Queen Elizabeth would have abdicated 20-30 years ago if Charles would have been a proper leader. This boy never grew up. He couldnt make a decision on a wife, didnt tend to his wife, couldnt control his wife and had to have someone else supervise the assassination of his wife. Not suitable material for a monarch.

    It will ultimately fall to William but Charles will not let go his birth right so easy.
