They will share their message and their wisdom with the people of the world so that everyone may prepare or soften its blow upon the Earth. Fulfilment: Indeed, over 50 years ago, the Hopi elders agreed that the first wave of signs had all been fulfilled. They there- fore began warning the world about the prophecies of a coming purification. Some of the elders, such as Thomas Banyaca, have explained the prophecies on national television and have spoken before the full assembly of the United Nations. r “Nhe Hopi Native Americans of the US Southwest have an ancient prophecy that has long foreseen the destruction of our present world through a purification by fire. You will know that the times for this purification are at hand with the fulfil- ment of a series of prophecies, known as the "final warnings". The first set of warnings was meant to alert the Hopi elders of a future time when the purification of the world was at hand, after which they were expected to break their silence and warn the world of a sec- ond set of predictions hastening the onset of the purification of the world by fire.

This prophecy, which came from Padmasambhava, the founder of Tibetan Buddhism, says: "When the iron bird flies Warning: An iron horse will come to the land of the red man. Fulfilment: This is the train; it appeared in the 19th century. Warning: The white man will create a gourd of ashes that will lay waste to the land and keep it infertile for generations. Fulfilment: These are atomic bombs. Radiation is the sterilising plague. Warning: The white man will raise metal wires into the skies.
