Excellent Research !, July 6, 2008
This review is from: End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies About the End of the World (Hardcover)
Some readers may not like what the author reports.
Nonetheless, the book is very well researched with
a considerable theological body of facts to support
the various future predictions and observations.
The Mayans indicated that events from 1987-2012 would
be critical. The changes after 2012 would be good or bad
depending upon the foundational events in the previous
25 years. Both the Cherokee and Mayan calendars end circa
2012. The older civilizations urged us to save the earth
by honoring mother nature.
The Fatima prophecies were discussed culminating in the
near assassination of Pope John Paul II. Edgar Cayce
predicted a shift in the poles by 2000 with Atlantis
and Lemuria reappearing during this century. At some
point, a new era of peace would unfold.
Sir Isaac Newton calculated 2060 as the end of the world.
Nostradamus felt that the end would happen in 3797.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle believed that the rise of a new
land (Atlantis) would wreak havoc in the Americas and
Western Europe.
The author believes that the following wonders will
happen shortly:
o Destruction of the rhinitis germ by entering a
booth with an elevated temperature
o Atlantis arises before the close of this century.
o Solar energy will be required in all new homes by 2015.
o Hybrid autos will save nearly $4,000 yearly.
o By 2010, diabetes will be cured with new proteins.
o Protestant denominations will unify between 2015-18.
o There will be a dramatic new leap forward in fetal health.
o Cloning will be perfected circa 2025.
o Skin cells will be programmed to mimic embroyonic cells.
o At some point this century, all faiths will be unified.
The book has some fascinating predictions which may not be
far from scientific reality right now. The presentation
provides very interesting reading.

Dusty's review about the end of days, July 13, 2008
This review is from: End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies About the End of the World (Hardcover)
This book is very much typical Sylvia Browne. She tries to give so much info that it really bogs down what she's trying to say. However, I thoroughly enjoyed all the history of people making predictions & none of them obviously coming true. That's interesting, but I'm too lazy to take the time to research it myself.
The book accomplished what it was meant to & that was to get rid of fears about the world ending any time soon.
Someone commented why in this book & her Prophecy book, she is vague about what year & which president that will have a heart attack. I think she knows specifically, but is concerned that saying anything will influence our decision about which candidate to vote for.
I feel the same way about what she writes for suicide. Nothing in this world happens by accident, so if someone dies by suicide, that is the way that person is meant to die. But SB can't say that, b/c she will be blamed for encouraging suicide.
The change in the anti christ confuses me a bit, however apathy does fit with the way she says the world will end. So at least in this book, it makes sense. There can be more than 1 anti christ in the world at the same time, but even so it would have been good for SB to state that.
All in all, this books feels to me like she was writing it for people who have not read any of her books before. Those of us who have read her books are excited about our lives ending b/c we know the other side is so much better. But people who have not read her books may still be in the fear based organized religions, so naturally they are worried about their death & the end of the world. Which explains to me why she added the repeat stuff at the back.
I'm very glad I ordered the book & it's one I will keep to refer back to every now & then.

disappointing, June 28, 2008
This review is from: End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies About the End of the World (Hardcover)
Most of this info we have read before in previous books from Sylvia. Basically the idea is that there have been many predictions from all different time periods that the end of the world was imminent and never happened. we already knew that. Not much elaboration on 2012. Except for a brief description of Incas and Mayans, etc. in the beginning of the book which was interesting...the rest comes from her book "Prophecy". Nothing new. I was really...really disappointed. Also...in her book "Prophecy", Sylvia states that the anti-christ(which I don't happen to believe in) was a man from the East with long flowing dark hair who would be very charismatic. He was already born. Many celebrities would follow him...give him money...then he would turn and show his true evil side blah blah blah. In this book she says the anti-christ is APATHY. I have always had great respect for everything Sylvia has ever written. But I do have a problem with this change. Apathy is a lack of caring...not a person. For those of us who have read Sylvia for a very long time...plan on being disappointed
