One of the common threads running through most ancient prophecies, is the prediction that Earth changes will eliminate about two thirds of the human population on earth, leaving one third, who are purified by the experience.
There will be greater earthquakes than ever 'recorded' or known by modern humans; volcanoes; land masses sinking and rising; the earth will turn on its axis; numerous new plagues; unspeakable human violence of an unimaginable level.
But the worst thing - before the great Earth changes occur, mankind is most likely to see political changes that will establish a tyrannical world elite. It will be so powerful that only the Universal Spirit, through the forces of nature, will be able to destroy it. And what the Dark Brothers do will be so terrible that most people will eventually welcome the mass destruction nature delivers as an escape.
