This surprises me that people would believe this. Haven't people made similar famous predictions in the past, and turned out wrong? I remember 2012 was supposed to be the end of the world.

With your drone photography and photogrammetry, doesn't the mapping application account for the curviture of the earth as part of equation to create a flat ortho image? I have been in the mapping industry for over ten years. We are able to make maps that are ortho correct, with perfect image measurements within 6 inches precison.

I'll admit the math is way over my head, and I've seen some crazy photos over the years. Mapping Mount Saint Helens for five years showed me some frightening data (it never sleeps).

Am less fussed about all of this today as he has since released another video in which he has lessened the effect of this one. While I may not believe everything that is said in relation to the size of our Playground, I do still find it interesting to hear the arguments out so that I can assess them individually.

Your history in map making sounds fascinating. With my drone I've only ever mapped relatively small areas. Am not aware of curvature being as part of the equations for drone mapping software, but that's not to say it isn't.

All the best to you :)

Thanks @samstonehill. I can appreciate a good world theory, vision, or prophecy as much as anyone.

Prophecy can be shady territory, so I take it only with a grain of salt. The only person who can genuinely know if a prophet is the real deal is the god/spirit who gives them this power. Often times a real prophet does not even know if they are interpreting correctly or not, and they might feel like they have been abandoned and are going mad.

To know who is a truly guided prophet, it is a huge gamble of a guessing game and faith can be easily misguided by choosing to follow the wrong person. Would you trust a wise friend who told you they can pick the lucky numbers at a Casino game if they told you they used to work there and can tip you off as long as you are willing to spend at least $1000 before you start winning? Business scams often make "too good to be true" promises to watch out for.

In some cases in history, things happened by chance to line up with a prophetic prediction, and we often view it serendipity or divinely foretold, but that does not prove it is spirit guided. Perhaps it was. There is no way to know, other than to believe and trust, correctly or not. A gamble.

At least that is the way I see it in my life.

You are right to be wary of so called prophets. In this case however I don't see his predictions as prophetic. And if I'm going to be honest, I was onboard with all of them already, with the exception of the 33rd parallel idea, which by the way relates to Freemasonry.

  • The elite are a troublesome bunch who love to demonstrate global warming, just as they have done so well in Australia, so his statement about scorching the earth doesn't seem impossible.

  • Global warming is a lie. I'm not in too much doubt about that. Plenty of data to prove this.

  • Ice age in 2022. This is a few years earlier than I was expecting, but seems possible to me, again based on data.

It has been noted that my reaction to the above (around a year ago) only increased my resolve to live a sustainable off-grid lifestyle. So, even if the shit never hits the fan, I will not have used my time counterproductively ;)
