870.0. "Ancient Prophets" by QUABBI::"[email protected]" () Fri Mar 04 1994 13:30


  Greeting,

  Did anyone see the 2-hour special Tuesday night on ch 4 in
Boston on the Ancient Prophets hosted by David McCallum?

  If so, what do you think? Did it bother you or cause you
to become excited?

  For those who didn't view it, it dealt with "prophets" (I
use the term EXTREMELY loosely) such as Nostrodamus (sic?),
Edgar Cayce, A fellow from New England still alive today (who
was he?), and other assorted events, biblical in nature.

  Any and all comments welcome.

  Maranantha,

  Bob.

    I watched parts of it. I found it very interesting but nothing
    to get excited about. Edger Cayce was the most interesting of
    those highlighted.

    Not to be picky, but was Nostradamus a true prophet in the sense that
    he was 100% accurate?  There were many prophets no doubt that were true
    but not mentioned in the Bible.  My understanding was that Nostradamus
    wasn't 100% accurate.

I'm just musing on what Jack brought up in his note 870.2 ...

Some of his "prophecies" point to future times, as do, in some 
interpretations, several Biblical prophecies.

Since they haven't come to fruition *yet*, his current record isn't 100% 
accurate.  We may not know if he is 100% correct or not till the end of time.

FWIW I saw some of the program mentioned.  It didn't do much for me.  Most 
"infotainment" has that effect on me.

Cheers,

Jim
