When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

There is a great story about how the Kingdom of Man took one of the Hebrides peninsulas. After a war when dividing the land between the Scottish lords and the Manx, the Scots declared the King of Man could rule everything he could "pass his ships rudder over", thinking he would only claim the isles. Instead he beached his ship and had the crew carry the boat across the narrowest points of one of the peninsulas. As per the agreement he was allowed to keep the peninsula.

They were so kind to me about how I didn't know what the Isle of Man was and I felt bad for saying that.
