=============================================== Tribal leaders of the Hopi tribe, prophecies that the coming of the white man signals the end times, along with a strange beast "like a buffalo but with great horns that would overrun the land" (like cattle). It is prophesied that during the end times the earth would be crossed by iron snakes and stone rivers, (like railroads), and the land would be criss-crossed by a giant spider's web (like freeways), and seas will turn black (like oil spills). It is also said that a "great dwelling place" in the heavens shall fall with a great crash, (Meteor or Comet) It will appear as a Blue Star, and the earth will rock to and fro. White men would then battle people in other lands, with those who possess wisdom of their presence. There would then be smoke in the deserts, and the signs that great destruction is near. Many would then die, but those who understand the prophecies shall live in the places of the Hopi people and be safe. The Pahana or "True White Brother" would then return to plant the seeds of wisdom in people's hearts, and thus usher in the dawn of the Fifth There nine important prophecies of the Hopis, connected with the creation of the nine worlds: the Three Previous worlds on which we lived, the present Fourth World, the three future worlds we have yet to experience, and the world of Taiowa, the Creator, and his nephew, Sotuknang. The Hopis call our time the "The Fourth Age of Man". According to them the earth has been whipped clean 3 times already. First by Fire, next by Ice, most recently by the flood... approximately 11,000-12,000 years ago. Some believe that the actual date of the flood occured on June 5, 8498 BC. =========================================== 1st world: ended when all of the volcanoes of the world erupted and an all Consuming Fire came from the Sky engulfed and destroyed the first world. ======================================= 2nd world: ended when the poles shifted and the earth was covered in ice. Mountains fell into oceans and seas. =========================================== 3rd world: ended when the waters flooded the world. Large continents sunk and broke apart into small islands. The Chosen were warned by the Spider Woman and built large boats out of reeds. In fact, similar traditions of a worldwide catastrophe exist among peoples of all continents including Scandinavians, Greeks, Egyptians, Hebrews, Sumerians, Babylonians, Persians, Hindus, Fiji Islanders, Eskimos, Native North and South Americans and many other sources. ============================================ The end of the fourth world (called Tuwaqachi by the Hopi) is described. Eventually a gourd full of ashes would be invented, which if dropped from the sky would boil the oceans and burn the land causing nothing to grow for many years (Atomic Bomb). This would be the sign for a certain Hopi to bring out his teachings in order to warn the world that the final event would happen soon. That it could bring an end to all life unless people correct themselves and their leaders in time. The final stage, called "The great day of Purification", has been described as a "Mystery Egg" in which the forces of the Swastika and the Sun plus a third force symbolized by the color "Red" culminate either in total rebirth or total annihilation. The degree of violence will be determined by the degree of inequity caused among the peoples of the world and in the balance of nature. In this crisis rich and poor will be forced to struggle as equals in order to survive. Before the time of the great Purification, they will make metal roads for iron horses and hang metal ropes in the air. (pre- Colombian Hopi prophecy) First they will bring back pieces of the Moon which will upset the balance and unleash disastrous forces. (ibidem) Near the day of the Great Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky through which 'people will walk' . (Aircraft sky Trails) The Purification will begin shortly after humans build a great house in the sky (MIR and the SPACE STATION)? By then there will be fires everywhere and greedy, selfish, power-mad leaders, internal wars. (ibidem). The beginning of the imminent Fifth World will be heralded by the arrival of a being known as Pahana, or the lost "White Brother". The Hopis say that there will two more worlds after this. "The Sixth Age" which is "The World of Prophecy and Revelation" and "The Seventh Age" is "The World of Completion". Excepts from “Teachings, History, and Prophecies of the Hopi People”: as told by Dan Katchongva (1865-1972), Sun Clan. Translated by Danagyumptewa "World War III will be started by those peoples who first revealed the light (the divine wisdom or intelligence) in the other old countries (India, China, Islamic Nations, Africa). The United States will be destroyed, land and people, by atomic bombs and radioactivity. Only the Hopis and a few others will be preserved as an oasis to which refugees will flee. The war will be 'a spiritual conflict with material matters. Material matters will be destroyed by spiritual beings who will remain to create one world and one nation under one power, that of the Creator.” "That time is not far off. It will come when the Saquasohuh (Blue Star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask. He represents a blue star, far off and yet invisible, which will make its appearance soon. [Some Hopi spokespersons suggest that Hale-Bopp is the Blue Star.]” The time is foretold by a song sung during the Wuwuchim ceremony. It was sung in 1914 just before World War I, and again in 1940 before World War II, describing the disunity, corruption, and hatred contaminating Hopi rituals, which were followed by the same evils spreading over the world. This same song was sung in 1961 during the Wuwuchim ceremony. "The Emergence to the future Fifth World has begun. It is being made by the humble people of little nations, tribes, and racial minorities. 'You can read this in the earth itself. Plant forms from previous worlds are beginning to spring up as seeds. This could start a new study of botany if people were wise enough to read them. The same kinds of seeds are being planted in the sky as stars. The same kinds of seeds are being planted in our hearts. All these are the same, depending how you look at them. That is what makes the Emergence to the Next, Fifth World. " |
