There are many prophecies written centuries ago mentioning texts such as "not far from 2000" or "near the end of 20th century". The prophecies below were collected from different books, many of them translated from French and Italian. Some prophecies describe chemical weapons, huge ocean floods during earth changes and the disappearing of countries.
These are the events which can be noted on the prophecies:
1) Alois Irlmaier (1894-1959) was a simple Christian man who lived in
Freilassing, Germany. During his life, he did several prophecies correctly,
helping the police to discover criminals, telling if the soldiers would return
alive or not from the Second World War, helping in the diagnosis of the ill
etc. He spoke on the third war, and according to him, it would begin anywhere
exactly after the murder of a big one near the Arabs and a murder in the
Balcans.
"I see three nines, but I don't know what this mean" - Will
the third war be related to something happened in 1999?
2) In the book Liber Vaticinationem Quodam, written near the year 350, it
is read about a war that will begin at the end of this millennium and will
go through the beginning of the next century:
"The third millennium is the moment of the third great war. France
is destroyed; the earth shakes...."
3) The prophecy below is said to be old, but it seems there is not a reference
to her before 1915.
" (...) the whole earth is filled with turbulence and discontent. The
rulers use their vast powers for greater domination and the struggling multitude
uncoils itself like a serpent seeking its prey. They seize nations against
their neighbors and waste their strength to break one another. The victors
are too far spent to shout (...) for the last half of the hour is wombed
with the most terrible period of the Earth's history (...) and when the last
quarter of the last hour arrived (...) the yellow hordes in the place of
the Rising Sun (Japan) and the white hosts of the middle kingdom (Middle
East and Russia) have joined hands (...) and behold, they pour out their
terrifying wrath upon the inhabitants of the island kingdom (England), which
is swelled with victory and grown fat upon the commerce of sea and land.
(...)"
If one century is considered above as one day (with 24 hours), then one hour
will be equal to 4,1666 years or about 4 years. The last quart of hour would
mean the last year of the millennium - 2000.
4) The following prophecy was found at the end of the 19th century in the
library of Monastery Neamt, in Romania. It is supposed that the prophecy
was written in the 14th century.
"Unknown diseases and plagues will accompany the end of the
Millennium, because the last beast will liberate gold and poison... and
the gold will produce despair, while the poison will produce death. In the
time of the seventh seal, the earth will be an abandoned factory of poisons.
And the few wise men that will remain, will not be able to make another thing
but to invoke the anger of God, so that the impious beast which will have
destroyed the life be destroyed".
5) Maria Laach, German religious woman, who did several prophecies in the
16th century:
"The 20th century will bring death and destruction, apostasy of
the Church, discord in the families, cities and governments; it will be the
century of three great wars with intervals of some decades. They will turn
more devastating and bloody and they will leave in ruins not only Germany,
but all the countries of the Est and West. (...) After a great defeat
of Germany, a great war will come. There won't be bread for the people
and food for animals. Poisonous clouds, created by human hands, will lower
and will exterminate everything. The human mind will be taken by
madness."
6) At his time, Stormberger was well-known for his prophecies. Several Austrian
specialists of prophecies from the area of Bavaria documented his prophecies,
but the books containing his writings were condemned by the Nazists and were
burned, because they foresaw Hitler's defeat, who was interested in prophecies.
But fragments telling that he foresaw the invention of cars, trains and airplanes
survived. He said with precision the day that the First World War would begin,
its duration, the weapons. He predicted the Great Depression in 1929, the
Third Reich, the Second World War, the Swastika, the defeat and the division
of Germany etc. He also said that there would be three world wars in the
20th century:
"Two or three decades after the first war it will come one a Second War
still larger. Almost all the nations of the world will be involved. Millions
of men will die, without being soldiers. The fire will fall from the sky
and many great cities will be destroyed. And after the end of the Second
Great War, a third universal conflagration will come, so that it will
determine everything. There will be weapons totally new. In one day, more
men will die than in all the previous wars. The battles will be accomplished
with artificial weapons (chemical bombs). Gigantic catastrophes will happen.
With the open eyes, the nations of the planet will go through these catastrophes.
They won't know what is happening, and those that know and tell, will be
silenced. Everything will be different from before, and in many places the
Earth will be a great cemetery. The third war will be the end of many
nations".
7) German Monk, Ludwig Heinrich, who lived in the 17th century:
"In the last years of the 20th century, one will see the disappearing
of countless animal species, killed by man. But at the end, it will be the
man that it will condemn the man to the death, because everything that grows
on the earth will contain the essence of the death. The air will be the blow
of the death, and as soon as the man breathe it, he will breathe the death
". (chemical weapons)
"As soon as the millennium touches its end, it will rain from the
sky one pestilence never saw before on the earth. And this pestilence will
remove all the force from the man; and the man won't be able more to fight,
even against the worm that crawls on the earth". (chemical weapons)
8) It is believed that the following prophecy, found in Monastery of Sainte
Claire, Perpignan, in France, is from the 14th century. It was attributed
by some to Abbot Reymond. The text is divided in five parts, each part
prophesying about a century of the last five of the millennium. Here is a
text from the last part:
"For stranger than the last times may seem, the last century of the
millennium will overcome all the others. It will be similar to one car
that moves with difficulty, guided by unable and servants of Satan. In that
period of terror, there will be great spiritual poverty. (...) Many kings
will lose the throne and some kings will recover the throne. A war will begin.
(first war). After, another war comes. (second war) and so another war. (third
war) From the sky the hell will fall. In the anguish of a bad life, the man
will finish poisoning everything. (chemical bombs) Poisoned clouds will cover
the earth. Monstrous machines will dominate the skies. (planes with bombs)
The fire will destroy many cities. The men will finish destroying each other
".
9) Parts from the following prophecy, coming from the Cloister of Mariental,
in Magonza, Germany, found in the beginning of the 19th century, happened
accurately. It tells on the First and Second world war, on the coming of
the Nazism and the division and reunification on the Germany. About the future,
it is said:
"They will be only eighteen days. But they will be eighteen thorns
for the whole world. They will enter in the men's flesh, in a time that not
too far from the 2000 (...) And for the coming events of the 20th
century... a war will break out, and will make all the precedent wars
disappear. Rivers of fire will fall from the clouds, where there are no clouds
(...) All the capitals in the two sides of the ocean will be destroyed"
10) Prophecy of Staretz, Russian origin, appeared near 1850:
"The last century of the millennium is a mountain, on which three
beasts (wars) sleep. The first one will wake up in the beginning of the road
(century). And from its throat will go out blood. The Second will wake up
in the middle of the road. And from its throat it will come fire. The third
will wake up at the end of the road. And from its throat will come the horrible
heresy".
11) Prophecy of Saint Anastacy, found at the end of the 16th century in a
Monastery in Moscow.
"The small nations (Arabs?) form a great nation. And they will be in wars.
In the final part of the millennium, an invisible serpent will shake
the people, which will move through the earth, as starving wolves, spreading
hunger and plagues. Rome and Moscow will fall in the deepest disorder. The
end of the millennium will see a lot of violence and blood. (...) The
walls of the churches will be spotted with blood".
12) The Ladino Prophecy, a Italian seer of the 18th century:
"The sea is crazy. Many lands will tremble. One deep plow will pass in
the lands of the world. The Great Serpent will be born in the East. When
the millennium arrives its end, the Christians will be equally pagans.
The only faith will be on the money and on power; the mistake, the corruption
and the violence will thriumph".
13) The Russian Monk Rasputin, who did prophecies fulfilled - on his murder,
on the Russian Revolution etc. said:
"Mankind is going in the direction of the catastrophe. The less able ones
will be guiding the car. This will happen in Russia, France, Italy and in
other places. The humanity will be squashed by the lunatics' roar. The wisdom
will be chained. The ignorant and the prepotent ones will dictate the laws
to the wise and to the humble person. So, most of the humanity will believe
in the powerful ones and not more in God. The punishment of God will come
late, but it will be tremendous. And it will arrive before our century
ends. Then, finally the wisdom will be free from the chains and the man
will return entirely to God, as the baby who goes to his mother. In this
way, mankind will arrive on the terrestrial paradise".
14) Saint Anselm, Bishop of Sunium (13th century)
"You will be ruined, city of seven hills (Rome), when the letter K will
be praised in your walls (Karol Woytilla, the Pope John Paul II). Then, your
fall will be near. (...) And you, man of big beard (the Muslim leader), you
will lose it and you will lose your value in the whole world, for having
presided the death of the Pontiff called John Obi ". (John Paul is the only
Pope that adopted two names. Bis is two in Latin).
15) Sister Elena Leonardi Aiello, Italian nun (20th century, already passed)
In her revelations, the Sister predicted some facts confirmed, as the defeat
of Italy in Second World War. She said in 1960 that "Russia, with secret
weapons, will fight against United States, conquer Europe and the river Rhine
in Germany will be full of cadavers". She also said that "Russia will invade
Europe and, especially in Italy, will cause ruin and destruction".
"When an extraordinary sign appear in the sky, the men should know that
the punishment of the world is close. Many signs will come on the world to
advise mankind that they have already passed the limits. Russia will march
over all the nations of Europe and will place its flag over Saint Peter in
Rome. What a pain! The governments don't understand, because they do not
possess the true Christian spirit, they open the doors to materialism".
(April of 1976)
16) The quatrain X.72 of Nostradamus, one of the world most famous persons
from the 16th century:
Quatrain X.72
"L'an mil neuf cent nonante neuf sept mois,
Du ciel viendra um grand Roy d'effrayeur
Ressusciter le grand Roy d'Angoulmois
Avant après Mars regner par bonheur."
In 1999, seven months, from the sky will come a great frightning king. The
great king of Angoulmois is revived. Before and after, there is war. It may
be a reference to Vladimir Putin, which appeared near Yeltsin in August of
1999 and arrived at the command of Russia a little before the 2000. Some
prophecies books claim that there is a difference of days and July could
mean August.
17) Merlin, who would have lived in the time of King Arthur, near 5th and
7th centuries, said:
"Before the christianism has 2000 years, the east will inflamate
and many people will die. There will be a Pope (John Paul II) who will not
dare to remain in Rome."
18) In Saint Nicolas chapel, in the city of Popovka, near Taganrog and the
sea of Azov, a prophecy of a monk called Pouskof, dating from the 15th century:
"At the end of the 20th century, Russia will see great disorders.
The houses, people and lands will be transformed by blood. We will see terrible
things through pictures (TV). What is above will go down. (conversion). What
is below will return to the high".

The message explains that a "the great war will come in the second part of the 20th century. The fire and the smoke will fall from the sky and the waters from the oceans will become vapour, projecting its scum up to sky and destroying everything below. And millions and millions of people will die from one hour to another...". In 1981, in Fulda, Germany, when asked what was this secret message, the Pope Jean Paul II answered: "Due to the seriousness of the contents of the Fatima secret, my predecessors in the Throne of Peter have preferred to postpone the publication. Furthermore, it may be enough to the christian people to know that, if there is a message saying that the oceans will flood whole parts of the globe, and millions of people will die, from a minute to another, it is not really the case to will the publication of this secret message."
21) Prophecy in a manuscript from the 16th century:
"When the history of the mankind enters the year 2000... the scythe of the moon will burn the leaves. (...) Because in this time the scythe of the moon will be the law that will slave the world."
The scythe was the symbol of the comunism, which would be Russia today and the moon is the symbol of the Muslims.
22) The spiritualist Brother "X", published in the 50s, in Brazil:
"At the end of the century, the earth will be a chaos. Its surface will be scorched by the fire of the atomic bombs. Europe will be a vast cemetery. Asia and Africa will be true deserts. Part of America will be horribly destroyed. The polar ice, because the efect of the verticalization of the axis of the earth, will shift abruptly, inundating many regions. The waters will cover immense extension of the earth and the inhabitable part of the continents will be reduced to one third".

27) Prophecy of a Saint-Almis Templar
"Near the middle of the last year (2000?), the signals and the number will appear in the sky. The iron birds will obscure the sun. The beasts of Apocalypse will come out from the sea.

28) Filippo di Lione (March 28th, 1897):

But in the fullness of time, the signal of the cross will prevail and all of Islam will be forced to convert to Christianism. There will follow a century of peace and joy as all the nations of the Earth lay down their swords and and shields."
30) Teresa Musco (1943-1976) was an Italian person who, when 8 years old, received messages from Mary.

She also received some other interesting messages.
