Prophecy
A divinely-inspired vision or revelation of the future, usually of important
events on a grand scale; a prediction or foretelling of what is to come.
A prophet, or prophetess if
female, is a person
who, by divine inspiration, declares to the world the divine will or judgments; a person
who foretells the course or nature of future events.
Religious prophets are men or women
divinely chosen to preach the divine message, such as
Jesus and
Mohammed. The ancient
Hebrews had many prophets; 18 of the 39 books of the
Old Testament are ascribed to
prophets. In Islam,
Mohammed is the Seal of
the Prophets, the last of all prophets for the rest of history.
Ordinary people with psychic gifts have also been called prophets. In the
16th century Nostradamus believed
his visions were inspired by God; the ancient Greeks
and Romans revered oracles,
whose pronouncements were treated as unchangeable. Even today we have scores of people who
claim to posses prophetic skills and wisdom.
Every age has had its share of visionaries, seers who seem to
posses a kind of second sight that enables them to peer through the walls of
time. And it is not the past or the present, but the future that holds the
greatest allure for would-be soothsayers; and not just any future, but the
fascinating matter of human fate — be it the destiny of an individual, of a
nation, of the world or of the universe.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the
Forums, so we can all discuss the
occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.
Registration will be required.
Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be
patient and understanding.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is
not really a commercial one. All of the commercial links are from affiliate

bandwidth — that can be quite costly if you have a lot of traffic, graphics and
