[9] The earth, too, has passed through clouds of blackness, according to ancient tradition. Three days of total darkness, during which no light or fire could be seen, are described in the Book of Mormon, Third Nephi, Chapter 8. There are many other historical references to this event, not only in the Bible (Exodus 10:22), but in Egyptian. Chinese and Indian texts also. Apparently the phenomenon occurred worldwide. Normal light rays were unable to penetrate the gloom, and human beings found themselves in such a lethargic state they were unable to move. See Worlds in Collision by Immanuel Velikovsky, Part 1, Chapter 2, for further references and descriptions of this catastrophe.
[10] In the summer of 1963 comedian Red Skelton was loafing alone on a beach in California when, according to what he later told reporter Dick Kleiner (Newspaper Enterprise Association), he lapsed into a semitrance for about an hour. Upon recovering full consciousness, he discovered a terrifying message written in his own hand in the notebook he always carries with him. He doesn’t remember writing it or even thinking the words. The message was: “President Kennedy will be killed in November.”
[11] In most religions it is regarded as a grave offense to take the accepted name of God in vain, as in the Ten Commandments. Earlier cultures also demanded that the names of the gods be spoken aloud only with the greatest respect. This fear may have been based upon a certain awareness that invoking the name of a god could produce sudden supernatural manifestations.
[12] The date of this breakthrough was March 31, 1848.
[13] There were several sightings of glowing, cross-shaped objects over England in the summer and fall of 1967.
[14] Many contactees and mediums made similar prophecies. The most startling of these was the report of Gary Wilcox, a farmer in Newark Valley, New York, who said that an egg-shaped object landed in his field on April 24. 1964, and that two little men in silvery suits engaged him in conversation for about two hours. In a sworn statement to Miss Priscilla Baldwin and the sheriff’s office, Tioga County, New York, dated April 28, 1964, Mr. Wilcox said, “They also mentioned that Astronauts Glenn and Grissom and the two astronauts from Russia would die within a year…” Virgil Grissom died three years later in the tragic Apollo fire of January 27, 1967. John Glenn is still living. Russian Cosmonaut Vladimir M. Komarov became the first man to die in space on April 24, 1967, exactly three years after Wilcox’s encounter. Cosmonaut Yuri Gargarin was killed in a plane crash in 1968. He was the first human being to enter space.
[15] The photos returned by our Mariner space probes in 1969 indicate that Mars is uninhabited and uninhabitable.
