Prophecy Countdown 2000 Brinkley's Dannion Visions — So many visions presented by Brinkley's Light Beings have already come true... ... and important prophecies for the 1990s are now being fulfilled. We'd be wise to pay attention. n 17 September 1975, Dannion Brinkley was talking on the phone during a thunderstorm. A bolt of lightning hit the phone line, sending thousands. of volts of electricity into his head and down his body, throwing him several feet into the air. His heart stopped, and he diéd. When Brinkley revived in the morgue after twenty-eight minutes, he had an incredible story to tell. After the lightning strike, Brinkley watched from above as loved ones and medics tried to start his heart. When doctors pronounced him dead he was already travelling through a dark tunnel toward a spirit being, who led him into a crystal city awash in light and tranquillity. Brought before thirteen angelic instructors in what he describes as "a cathe- dral of knowledge", Brinkley was told of events that would shake the world before the year 2000—including the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the Persian Gulf War, and America's current economic crisis. So many visions presented by Brinkley's Light Beings have already come true... The Beings came at me one at a time. As each one approached, a box the size of a videotape came from its chest and zoomed right at my face. The first time this happened I flinched, thinking 1 was going to be hit. But a moment before impact, the box opened to reveal what appeared to be a tiny television picture of a world event that was yet to happen. As | watched, I felt myself drawn right into the pic- ture, where I was able to live the event. This happened twelve times, and twelve times I stood in the midst of many events that would shake the world in the future. At the time I didn't know these,were future events. All I knew was that I was seeing things of great significance and that they were coming to me as clearly as the nightly news, with one great difference: | was being pulled into the screen. On this day, 17 September 1975, the future came to me a box at a time. BOXES ONE, TWO & THREE: VISIONS OF A DEMORALISED COUNTRY Boxes one, two and three showed the mood of America in the aftermath of the war in South-East Asia. They revealed scenes of spiritual loss in our country that were by-prod- ucts of that war, which weakened the structure of America and eventually the world. The scenes were of prisoners of war, weak and wasted from hunger, as they waited in the rugged prisons of North Vietnam for American ambassadors to come and free them. | could feel their fear and then despair when they realised one by one that no help would be forthcoming and that they would live out their remaining years as slaves in jungle prisons. These were the MIAs, those military men considered "missing in action". The MIAs were already an issue in 1975, but they were used as a starting point in the visions to show an America that was slipping into spiritual decline. 1 could see America falling into enormous debt. This came to me as scenes of money going out of a room much faster than it was coming in. Through some kind of telepathy | was aware that this money represented the increase in the national debt and that it spelled danger down the road. I also saw people waiting in long lines for the basics of life like clothing and food. Many scenes of spiritual hunger came from the first two boxes as well. 1 saw people who were transparent in such a way as to reveal that they were hollow. This hollowness, it was explained to me, was caused by a loss of faith in America and what it stood for. The war in South-East Asia had combined with inflation and distrust in our government to create a spiritual void. This void was added to by our loss of love for God.
