The World to Come: The Guides' Long-Awaited Predictions for the Dawning Age [Paperback]

Ruth Montgomery (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 5, 2000

In The World to Come bestselling author and world-renowned psychic Ruth Montgomery presents a wealth of new material about who we are, where we are headed, and how we can cope with the political and natural upheavals that loom in our future.

Many rank Montgomery's remarkable powers of foresight with those of Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce. Now, with the clarity and candor that has won her such a loyal following, Ruth gives a tour of the next century and beyond. Ruth discusses her guides' prediction that the earth is bound to shift on its axis and provides information about what areas are safest as severe global weather patterns intensify. She also shares stories of numerous people from ancient Palestine, including herself, who have been reincarnated at this time to help bring peace and healing to the world. Finally, in what she intends as her farewell book, Ruth offers a warm and fascinating look at her own life.

Amazon.com Review

Ruth Montgomery fans, celebrate! The World to Come is the renowned prognosticator's first book in 12 years, and according to the author, her last. Having written it at age 87, it's easy to understand why she feels this way. Montgomery was a syndicated White House columnist during the Roosevelt years up through the Johnson administration. An assignment by the International News Service to write an eight-part series on séances resulted in her first book, A Search for Truth, and a friendship with noted medium Arthur Ford. After Ford's death, he and a group of otherworld entities began communicating with Montgomery via automatic writing. Many have ranked her powers of foresight with that of Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce. In this new book, the Guides (as she calls her invisible coauthors) rewrite some old predictions and reveal surprising new ones for the upcoming millennium. --Randall Cohan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Publishers Weekly

Montgomery (Here and Hereafter, etc.) made headlines years ago when she transformed herself from Washington political columnist into a contender for the title of the next Nostradamus. In her first book in 12 years, she revisits predictions she made over the course of 15 books and offers updated information about the "shift," or planetary reorganization (including a change in the Earth's axis), to come in the next decade. Montgomery gives an overview of the material covered in her previous work: the nature of the shift, reincarnation, aliens, "walk-ins" (individuals whose bodies have been taken over by enlightened beings) and the method by which she receives her visions from the "Guides" (spirits who are active in the human sphere, but whose vibrational energy is higher, making them invisible to human eyes). She then explains why she revoked her decision to stop publishing: the future has changed, and the Guides have reported a delay in the shift (it won't happen until 2010 or 2012), pending the arrival of a walk-in president (no, say the Guides, "it is not Ross Perot"). Montgomery reassures readers that the spirituality boom (and the good graces of reincarnated "survivors of the Hundred Years' War in Europe" who don't want to see us repeat their bloody ways) will lessen the devastation she had previously predicted would be wrought by the shift. But it will still be rough going (people and animals will perish by the millions). Montgomery intends this to be her final bookAbut if she's for real, the Guides will make that decision, not her.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fine update on Ruth's past twelve years, plus a look ahead, August 18, 1999

By 

[e-mail] (Palestine, TX , U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The World to Come: The Guides' Long-Awaited Predictions for the Dawning Age (Hardcover)

This book offers us a brief look at the past twelve years or so of Ruth's life, and then lets us in on the Guides' predictions for the planet Earth in years to come.

In summary, the Guides remind us -- as they have in the past -- that regardless of whether a person survives The Shift, everything will turn out okay. And, most of us who avidly read Ruth's books are sure to realize that we came into our respective lifetimes -- in part at least -- to experience this great upcoming event. That means that those people we know who refuse to take seriously what she and the Guides have written, are putting themselves into the same position that the doubters of Noah were in before The Great Flood. So, perhaps if we know people who will later refuse to evacuate to safe areas, we might have to realize that they probably chose this path before coming into this life. In any case, it seems that another 5-13 years may elapse before the next Great Flood/Shift will occur, so there's no reason for anyone to uproot his/her life at the moment. The signs will be obvious long before the time comes.

Having spent most of my own life dealing with psychic and intuitive events, I would strongly suggest that everyone practice at developing his/her own intuition. There is a wonderful book by Laura Day entitled PRACTICAL INTUITION that I highly recommend; it contains a great number of exercises that should make a believer out of anyone who will at least give them a fair try.

Intuition is -- I firmly believe -- a gift from God and His method of directly communicating with each of us.

May you have music in your ears, love in your heart, a bounce in your step, and Light in your Soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read eight of Ruth's books and kept wanting more..., March 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The World to Come: The Guides' Long-Awaited Predictions for the Dawning Age (Hardcover)

Working in a book store in 1982 Ruth Montgomery's book "A Search For Truth" literally dropped in my hands from three shelves above me. The title caught my eye immediately because at the time I was searching for answers. From the moment I began reading I could not put the book down. Ruth has a way of writing that holds you captive. I read eight of her books after that and all were just as good as the first. Ruth Montgomery introduces topics of a metaphysical nature to her readers in such a way that make sense and sound logical. She is believable. Ruth is a great teacher on topics covering reincarnation, past lives, life after life, walk-ins, and the list goes on. Long before the rest of us would develop our insights in the late 90s and into the new century, Ruth was an original writing on subjects that during her days were considered too bizarre. Ruth is a pioneer in the field of metaphysics. Her books were written to bring us enlightment. This last book is a blessing to the ones that have enjoyed her previous writings. Reading Ruth's books were like having a friend that understood you and helped you find the answers to questions which were often crossing your mind, but never fully understood. Finding Ruth Montgomery's newist book after 12 years, I was not going to pass up the chance to enjoy my old friend again. For those that do not understand, or do not quite follow what she has written in a "World to Come" I strongly suggest reading all her books and coming back to this one. You will not be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing! Fits in to the other theories of the millenium, October 31, 1999

This review is from: The World to Come: The Guides' Long-Awaited Predictions for the Dawning Age (Hardcover)

I haven't read her other books yet but understand this one is a good one to start with. It was easy to read and actually easy to comprehend. I have more hope for the coming world (and my children) and less fear for the coming hard times. More hope, less fear, it must be good!
