The Fascinating World of Predicting the Future
Ever since the beginning of time, people have been curious about what the future holds. We’ve gone from ancient fortune tellers in dusty old temples to using cool tech today that guesses what we might buy next online.
I am always embraced this mystery and last week was captivated listening to a gentleman called John Hogue. Hogue is a world-renowned authority on Nostradamus and other prophetic traditions. He is an author of 19 books in 19 languages and writes about 100 articles each year for his website “hogueprophecy.com”. This talk inspired me to write this post, exploring our age-old interest in figuring out what’s around the corner. Here we go!
What’s the Deal with Old-time Predictions?
Before we had horoscope apps on our phones, folks from long ago used to visit fortune tellers, like the famous Oracle at Delphi, hoping to hear about their futures. There were also legends like Nostradamus, who’s known for his cryptic predictions that many believe came true. People still talk about these ancient predictions, kind of like how we still discuss some old legends or myths. It’s like getting a sneak peek into a movie about tomorrow, today.
