Please help n00b!

Hello all.

This is the first post I've ever made here. I've never really been big on predictions and the whole deal . . . don't know why - I suppose I've only been told about the incorrect ones, much like you only hear about the CIA ops that go sour.

But a few minutes ago I just cruised past the television and some ad was on, and it really twanged a chord of interest.

So, I would like to get involved with all this prediction business.

Perhaps a quick summary for me by someone of, say, all correct recorded predictions(i know that could be a bit much, but hey)? Main people involved, past and present, in all this?
A few good places for me to start building up my knowledge?

I know I could just go back through the pages, but this could also be a good place for members just to summarize up a bit. I would imagine that all this could get a bit confusing at times . . . or no?

I remember watching a show on the History channel a long time ago on the Bible code. That seemed damn intresting. Would that be an influential topic here?

Ok, thanks for your replies!

Quite honestly, a lot of these predictions are just plain silly, but someone has to be right eventually. Here's a few places for you to get started.

Bible Codes:
Possibly has some correct predictions, but skeptics say that it's just a word manipulation game.
A Search on Bible Code discussions or just jump right into a recent thread called Atomic Holocaust in 2006

There are Native American prophecies that some seem to think are interesting. There are lots of threads around here relating to prophecies from the Bible, the Koran, and some Prophecies that specifically refer to the Pope. Of course the current Grand-daddy of all prophecies is the Mayan 2012 spin. This little gem spans everything from alien invasions, to asteroids hitting (Mentioned in Bible codes), to...well just name it. You can find an index to these 2012 threads here:

Maybe someone else would like to share what they find interesting.

Ahh, thankyou. Much appreciated. I would imagine having knowledge that something may happen would be quite thrilling. But I think I'll sit back and laugh when the last timezone clicks over to 2013 and nothing bad has happened.

Cmon, over 100 views. No one else has anything else to contribute?

Although there are predictions which are hoaxes, and others are just made to attract attention, there have been quite a few predictions which have come true.

i keep reading from time to time someone claim that "all predictions are bunk and it is all nonsense", well these people have not really paid any attention to all those prophecies which have come true.

If you want to know whether or not any prophecies posted in these forums have come true, read up past threads.
