NOTE: The
following essay and the linked book are not intended to authenticate ancient prophecies about
the
beginning of the third millennium.
Rather, this examination of noteworthy millennialist predictions
aims to
survey the modern apocalyptic beliefs that the Al Qaeda cult has
attempted to
imitate.
The modern “millennialist fever” exhibited by apocalypticists worldwide was spawned in large part by the contemporary convergence of ancient forecasts of the Apocalypse War, an anomalous concurrence that the History Channel has termed “The Nostradamus Effect”. Undoubtedly, Al Qaeda’s willful imitation of this mythology with the 9/11 War has amplified popular belief in the authenticity of the ominous warnings from the ancient world. In fact, the hijacking of this “Nostradamus Effect” by the world’s most influential apocalyptic cult has figured centrally in Al Qaeda’s millennialist global war against the “Great Satan” superpower.
Over the past five thousand years, numerous ancient
prophetic traditions have established the beginning of the third
millennium as
the age of the Apocalypse War. The
methodology of these predictions involved both the explicit
identification of
dates and the referencing of contemporary events. The
most prominent examples of these prophetic sources include
the Egyptian time scale inside the Great Pyramid, Nostradamus, the
Koran, the
Christian Bible, the famed Irish monk St. Malachy, the Hopi Indians and
the
Mayan long-count Calendar.
Egyptian
The Great Pyramid at Giza survives as the ancient world’s one remaining wonder. An enduring storehouse of information, this time capsule of the pharaohs exhibits advanced knowledge of mathematics, architectural engineering and astronomy. Embedded among the multiple functions of this most sacred site of antiquity, researchers have discovered a prophetic time scale encoded within the structure’s interior passageways. Like a traditional timeline, the pyramid’s ceremonial passages depict the passage of time geometrically, with each successive pyramid-inch (the Egyptian measure of distance) equivalent to one year. Some scholars have concluded that this timeline in the Great Pyramid reveals an accurate prophetic picture of human history. Along with pivotal historical dates, the prophecy identifies defining characteristics of the corresponding events. The tunnel’s designated name, direction, size or type of stone all serve to distinguish key details of the great turning points in history, culminating in an apocalyptic war slated to erupt in September 2001 AD. Like Nostradamus’ famous prediction about 1999 and the prominent Mayan prediction about 2012 (see below), this Great Pyramid prophecy about September 2001 was widely identified by researchers decades before the 9/11 War began.
Marking the last and most prominent predictive date of the time scale, the ancient Egyptians forcefully emphasized this prophecy by positioning it on the only obstruction in the pyramid’s passageways. Located in the antechamber to the pyramid’s final room, the “Room of the Purification of the Nations”, this climactic final prediction of the timescale depicts the initiation of the Apocalypse War in the same month that Bin Laden’s apocalyptic cult initiated the 9/11 War. In particular, the Egyptian prophecy for September 2001 forecasts an unprecedented physical catastrophe that sets in motion the anticipated fiery purification of nations by “the chamber of central fire”. Al Qaeda appears to aim at completing its imitation of this prophecy by prompting the worldwide destruction from a global nuclear holocaust. In the context of the world’s ancient apocalyptic traditions, the Great Pyramid’s forecast for September 2001 represents the final purification through a global holy war that precedes humanity's entrance into the Promised Land, God's awaited kingdom on earth.

Nostradamus
The 16th century French prophet
Nostradamus is renown
as one of the most prolific sources of apocalyptic predictions. While on the one hand drawing from ancient
mythology, Nostradamus amplified this lore with detailed descriptions of
purported future events. In particular,
the French prophet identified three successive world leaders that he
termed
“antichrists” as the inciting catalysts for world wars that would propel
humanity’s march towards the Apocalypse War.
The first two of these antichrists, a French emperor and a German
emperor, have been widely understood to be Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf
Hitler,
respectively. The final antichrist, an
Arab “King of Terror”, was slated by Nostradamus’ most famous prophecy
to
provoke the global religious conflict of the Apocalypse War during the
arrival
of the third millennium.
In July of 1999,
the great King of Terror will come from the sky.
(10q72 (index number))
L'an mil neuf cens nonante neuf
sept mois,
Du ciel viendra vn grand
Roy
d'effrayeur.
(the original Nostradamus (Old French))
Mirroring this mythological “great King of Terror”, Osama bin Laden initiated his 9/11 plot initiated in July 1999 (as observed in the 9/11 Commission Report). This airborne attack (“from the sky”) by the king of global terrorism provoked a global religious war at the start of the third millennium, as was anticipated by apocalyptic prophecy. Bin Laden’s July 1999 preparations for his millennial world war followed his declaration of global war on the “Great Satan” superpower and his first overt terrorist attack on America in the previous year. Interestingly, July 1999 was also the first month that Bin Laden topped the FBI's most wanted list. In this same pivotal month, President Clinton received such startling intelligence that he signed an executive order radically changing America's Al Qaeda/Taliban policy, declaring the Taliban to be a state-sponsor of terrorism and authorizing the CIA to capture or kill Bin Laden. In the context of the Al Qaeda warlord’s close emulation of Judeo-Christian-Islamic prophecy, the presence (in inverse “hidden” form) of the infamous mark of the beast from Revelation 13:18 (666) within the dating (1999) of Nostradamus’ distinctively precise prediction about his final antichrist in the above 10q72 quatrain also connects this prophecy about the “King of Terror” to Revelation’s account of the Apocalypse War’s chief antagonist, the “King Destroyer” from Revelation 9:11.
Beyond Nostradamus’ explicit dating, the French prophet also pinpoints signs corroborating that the beginning of the third millennium was the time frame he slated for the Apocalypse War.
The
third antichrist very soon annihilated,
Twenty-seven years his bloody war will last.
The heretics dead, captives exiled,
Blood-soaked
human
bodies, and a reddened, icy hail covering the Earth.
(8q77)
In the context of Nostradamus’ own
knowledge base of ancient prophecies that slated the religious
Apocalypse War
to begin at the start of the third millennium, he uses religious
terminology
(“heretics”) to describe the dead of his third (and final) antichrist’s
world
war. Amplifying this depiction of his
final antichrist’s religious zealotry, Nostradamus observes that he
becomes of
martyr of the war that he provokes. The
prophetic account of “a reddened, icy hail covering the Earth” closely
matches
the image of nuclear winter envisioned by scientists as the likely
outcome of
an apocalyptic nuclear war. In
addition, it describes the architect of the Apocalypse War as a
religiously
zealous world-war provocateur. Most
crucially, this prediction identifies the precise length of time that
his
“bloody war will last”: “twenty-seven years”.
Bin Laden set in motion his long-held ambition to imitate the
prophesized enemy of Judaism and Christianity, the Muslim Messiah of the
Apocalypse, when he created Al Qaeda in 1986-88 (originally christened
“The
Lion’s Den” in April 1986, formally renamed “The Base” and chartered in
March
1988). Marking this time period as the
start of Bin Laden’s war, projecting twenty-seven years later pinpoints
the
date 2012, precisely matching the expected time of the Apocalypse War’s
climax
according to the most famous Doomsday date, that of Mayan prophecy (see
section
below). Bin Laden’s willful emulation
of apocalyptic prophecy appears to continue in additional Nostradamus
quatrains.
One who the infernal gods of Hannibal
will cause to be reborn, terror to all mankind:
Never more horror nor the newspapers tell of worse in the past,
Then will come to the Romans through Babel.
(2q30)
Nostradamus depicts an individual arising from the lands of the ancient empire of Carthage that once produced the fearsome warlord Hannibal. These areas encompass the Arabian Peninsula, North Africa and neighboring regions in the Middle East. Corroborating other Nostradamus prophecies about an "Arab prince" and his apocalyptic war with Christianity (5q25), this prophecy characterizes the expected “King of Terror” as an Arab. Notably, the title “the Arab prince” is one of Bin Laden's most popular aliases. His global reign of terrorism has undoubtedly prompted “terror to all mankind” based on unprecedented attacks that befit the description “never more horror nor of newspapers tell of worse in the past”. Mirroring this prophecy and those of Revelation, Bin Laden provoked the U.S. invasion of Iraq (ancient Babel) on 9/11, rejuvenated his Al Qaeda insurgency based on America’s military blunder there, and now threatens catastrophic terrorism on the superpower he calls “the modern Rome” in retaliation. Iraq’s role as the turning point in the 9/11 war for modern-Rome and the Western world appears to be a critical element of apocalyptic prophecy that Bin Laden willfully vivified.
Finally, the
third
antichrist will cause an inundation of human blood . . . After that, the
Antichrist will be the infernal prince again for the third and last
time. All the Kingdoms of Christianity, and even
those of the infidels (Muslims), will tremble . . .
(Epistle to King
Henry II
)
Nostradamus’ identification of his final antichrist
as the
“infernal prince” engaged in an earth-trembling war against all of
Christianity
visibly connects this prophecy with the “the Arab prince” (5q25) born of
“the
infernal gods of Hannibal” (2q30). Bin
Laden's imitation of the foremost opponent of Christians and Jews
described by
Nostradamus and Judeo-Christian apocalyptic traditions is also consonant
with
the Islamic depiction of the Muslim Messiah.
Al Qaeda’s decision to parallel closely the timing and
characteristics
of the “great King of Terror” predicted by Nostradamus represents
arguably the
most conniving terrorist plot ever hatched.

The Koran
Despite its virulently anti-Semitic and
anti-Christian
verses, the Koran originated as a derivative work of Judeo-Christian
scripture. Ironically revered by
Islamic apocalypticists, the holy books of the avowed enemies of Islam
provided
the basis for a new vision of the future Apocalypse that portrays the
Antichrist figure that kills Jews and Christians as a righteous Muslim
Messiah. Although this central figure
of the Apocalypse War is conspicuously omitted from the Koran and only
appears
in the later Islamic accounts of the life and traditions of the Prophet
Mohammed,
the Koran does provide some explicit support for the overarching
apocalyptic
mythology.
"When the
Terror descends (and
none denies its descending) abasing, exalting, when the earth shall be
rocked
and the mountains crumbled and become a dust scattered . . . on the Day
of
Doom.
(56, 1-56)
"So, when the
Trumpet is blown
with a single blast and the earth and the mountains are lifted up and
crushed
with a single blow, then, on that day, the Terror shall come to pass,
and
heaven shall be split . . .and upon that day eight shall carry above
them the
Throne of thy Lord. On that day you shall be exposed, not one secret of
yours
concealed.
(69.13-18)
Using language (trumpets prompting physical catastrophes) famously employed by the Book of Revelation, the Koran depicts an age of global terror characterized by a worldwide religious war that culminates in the arrival of God’s kingdom on Earth. In the context of millennialist prophecy, Al Qaeda’s close emulation of this Koranic account of the Apocalypse War conspicuously demonstrates the cult’s overarching strategy for Messiah pretension.

The Bible
Various books of the Christian bible provide
descriptions
that collectively constitute the biblical account of the Final War of
the Apocalypse. Most famously, the conflict’s
major
battlefields are specifically identified.
The Christian holy land figures prominently in this proposed
scenario. The Bible envisions the Apocalypse
spawned
from a holy war between the newly created state of Israel and the
Palestinians
(Ezekiel 38:8). Neighboring Iraq
(ancient Babylon) is slated to be a staging area for this final war
(Zechariah
12:3, Isaiah 11:11, Rev 9:12-19, Rev 17/18).
Al Qaeda’s role in magnifying and even creating conflicts on
these two prophesized
battlegrounds appears to be a particularly calculated attempt to
manufacture
the Apocalypse.
The Book of Revelation provides probably the
greatest detail
for this biblical account. The primary
instigator of this forecasted war is a man identified as the Destroyer
of
9:11. This verse of the final chapter
of the Bible describes the revelation of this man's identity to the
world on
the day he executes the first horror of the Apocalypse, a fiery attack
that
incites the greatest war in history. In
particular, this biblical verse depicts a monumentally horrific airborne
attack
that signals the global revelation of the Destroyer of civilization. On 9/11 of the first year of the third
millennium, a conspicuous imitation of the Revelation of the Destroyer
came in
the personage of Osama bin Laden, who conclusively revealed his
destructive
intentions to the world with a horrific airborne attack that started the
first
world war of the nuclear age. Already
in 2000, as millennialists worldwide awaited the beginning of the Final
Days,
Bin Laden had claimed this identity to the world as the Destroyer of
Revelation
9:11 when he bombed a destroyer of the U.S.
At the end of the final book of the Bible, another possible
convergence
of dating in apocalyptic prophecy occurs at Revelation 20:12. Apparently corroborating the Mayan
prediction for 2012 as the climax of the Apocalypse, this unique verse
describes the Final Judgment and destruction of civilization preceding
the
birth of God’s kingdom on Earth. Al Qaeda’s
emulation of the battlegrounds, key persona and possible dates indicated
by the
famous sources of apocalyptic prophecy in the Bible represents a crucial
element of Bin Laden’s bid for Messiah pretension.
St. Malachy
One of the lesser known prophets, St. Malachy was a
12th-century Irish monk who fell into a trance one day during a
pilgrimage to
the center of the Catholic world in Rome.
During his vision, he voiced a list of future popes that appears
to have
accurately described every pope up through the modern age.
According to this prophecy, only one pope
remains after the current pope until the Final Judgment in which Rome is
destroyed in the Apocalypse War. St.
Malachy’s unique prophetic timeline confirms the dating pinpointed by
other
ancient prophecies that Al Qaeda has endeavored to employ in its bid to
portray
Bin Laden as the Muslim Messiah.
Considering the apocalyptic cult’s keen attention to these kinds
of
ancient predictions, it is not unlikely that they are aware of writings
by some
of the less famous prophets like St. Malachy.
(The Last Pope by John Hogue, 2000 available via amazon.com)
The Hopi
The Native American Hopi tribe records a prophetic tradition that includes a series of signs that portend the onset of the Apocalypse War. The final sign slated to occur involves the falling to the Earth of a dwelling that had orbited the planet. The only domiciles that have existed in orbit have been the space stations, and the space station MIR (Russian for “peace”) fell from its orbit in 2001, the year marked by other prophetic traditions for the start of the Apocalypse War. In an apparent bid to vivify both famous and obscure apocalyptic prophecies about the beginning of the third millennium, Al Qaeda began the global 9/11 War at this very same time.

Mayan
The ancient Mayan
civilization forecasted that a new calendar age would begin on December 21, 2001. Many
researchers have concluded that this
forecast indicates the Mayan belief that civilization move toward a global cataclysm that destroys the world as we know it and
lays the
foundation for humanity’s rebirth into another stage of our existence on
Earth.
Regardless of the
authenticity of these apocalyptic traditions, the above ancient
prophecies
involve dates that were widely identified by researchers decades before
the
9/11 War began. This body of knowledge
constituted
the basis for modern apocalyptic beliefs.
The convergence of the Mayan prophecy with Nostradamus’ most
famous
prediction, that of the Great Pyramid, the Destroyer of Revelation 9:11
and other
millennialist prophecies has provided Al Qaeda a critical time window. From 1999 through 2001 up to 2013, Osama bin
Laden’s cult has a unique opportunity for waging its world war designed
to
emulate Apocalypse mythology. To date,
Al Qaeda appears to have willfully capitalized on this coincidental
convergence
of predictions.

prophecies that pinpoint the start of the 21st century as the beginning
