Here is something out of the box

For what its worth
This is a bizarre story, make of it what you will, dont bag me out I am just reporting it and hopefully wasting my time and causing unnecessary concern.
Hopefully
Well there was this quake, so happens a big one, and there was this spiritualist dude (weirdo spiritualism spiritualist not real Holy Spirit spiritual) who forewarned 104 hours before the quake struck and following tsunami.
Coombes predicts Japan March 2011

Yes this guy really predicted this quake to within 9 hours. No doubt many will come along and call me a fraud and Coombes a fraud.
Be aware Coombes has made a few mistakes in the past. He aint no biblical prophet
Though if he is a fraud then he has a time machine. He picked the time Japan was devastated.
I am not suggesting he is a prophet. Coombes got this quake and a few other things right. Many things wrong

Me personally, I have nothing to gain and everything to lose, this thread paints me as crazy, irrespective if you research Mitchell Coombes you will see that he has another prediction

This is it
Ok everyone, you've been warned of what's to come, we are getting extremely close to the 104 hour tsunami warning. I strongly advise that if you live on the east coast of NSW and west coast of USA, have your evacuation gear ready to go as soon as possible. I said on March 11 that California would be next after Japan's countdown... Sydney's earthquake will be magnitude 9.5, California's earthquake will be magnitude 9.6, followed by two 9.4's, all of these tsunamis will be created in the same exact hour.

That was off of his facebook accnt thats now gone offline.

An earlier Coombes accnt with the first prophecy
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1427705082.

Now according to the OT, Prophets of God did not make prophecies like this guy. Prophets of OT would warn that if the people didnt repent bad things would happen. Prophets didnt specify events. Coombes is an ungodly man. I am not endorsing him in any way

I am just relating a story interesting and what I think noteworthy. Make of it what you will

Jesus is Lord and Saviour and He is coming back, make no mistake about that.

This guy could well be a huge charlatan

About 23 yrs ago I was told via tarot cards, that I would meet an older white haired man. I did and he became my second husband. Through numerology, my (2nd) husband was told he would come in to money, not that year, but the following year....it happened !! It was over $100k. Rightly or wrongly unGodly people can sometimes predict what is going to happen. The places you mentioned are on a fault line, it's natural to assume quakes etc will one day happen and they will be big ones.
Over years many predictions have been made by many people, sometimes privately, sometimes made known to the public. I don't dabble in things like that anymore, I just trust Jesus....but I do still find things like that interesting.

None of this means much to me because I'm not spiritually alive and I stumble in the darkness or so the Christians on CF are fond of telling me.

But I have a simple question. Have you bothered to compare his predictions with what actually happened?

It is pretty pointless asking how he manages to make his 'accurate' predictions, with the help of God or Satan, if the predictions aren't accurate anyway.

This sub forum is for people from Australia so presumably you know if Sydney was destroyed by a huge earthquake.

The biggest earthquake ever to be recorded was the Chilean earthquake of 1960 that was magnitude 9.5, equal to the one that apparently hit Sydney.

9.5 is an absolute monster.

Read a bit about it:

Chile
1960 May 22 19:11:14 UTC
Magnitude 9.5

The Largest Earthquake in the World

Approximately 1,655 killed, 3,000 injured, 2,000,000 homeless, and $550 million damage in southern Chile; tsunami caused 61 deaths, $75 million damage in Hawaii; 138 deaths and $50 million damage in Japan; 32 dead and missing in the Philippines; and $500,000 damage to the west coast of the United States.

Severe damage from shaking occurred in the Valdivia-Puerto Montt area. Most of the casualties and much of the damage was because of large tsunamis which caused damage along the coast of Chile from Lebu to Puerto Aisen and in many areas of the Pacific Ocean. Puerto Saavedra was completely destroyed by waves which reached heights of 11.5 m (38 ft) and carried remains of houses inland as much as 3 km (2 mi). Wave heights of 8 m (26 ft) caused much damage at Corral.

Tsunamis caused 61 deaths and severe damage in Hawaii, mostly at Hilo, where the runup height reached 10.6 m (35 ft). Waves as high as 5.5 m (18 ft) struck northern Honshu about 1 day after the quake, where it destroyed more than 1600 homes and left 185 people dead or missing. Another 32 people were dead or missing in the Philippines after the tsunami hit those islands. Damage also occurred on Easter Island, in the Samoa Islands and in California. One to 1.5 m (3-5 ft) of subsidence occurred along the Chilean coast from the south end of the Arauco Peninsula to Quellon on Chiloe Island. As much of 3 m (10 ft) of uplift occurred on Isla Guafo. Many landslides occurred in the Chilean Lake District from Lago Villarica to Lago Todos los Santos.
On May 24, Volcan Puyehue erupted, sending ash and steam as high as 6,000 m. The eruption continued for several weeks.

This quake was preceded by 4 foreshocks bigger than magnitude 7.0, including a magnitude 7.9 on May 21 that caused severe damage in the Concepcion area. Many aftershocks occurred, with 5 of magnitude 7.0 or greater through Nov 1.

This is the largest earthquake of the 20th Century. The rupture zone is estimated to be about 1000 km long, from Lebu to Puerto Aisen.

For the record - it was not Mitchell Coombes the spiritualist, it was a different guy who claims to have used Illuminati cards for his predictions.

As I said, Yes.
This Coombes bloke was 9 hours off when he called the Japanese quake.
He has made some other predictions that have been reasonably accurate.

Is this going to happen, I highly doubt it, but...

The bible talks about two realms on this earth.
The secular kingdom where the broken world exists, satans realm and
The new Kingdom of Christ where believers live in Christ in this world, yes we still live in the broken world in a broken existence with our broken lives and broken bodys. This is the reason we need Jesus
But
We have a promise and a new kingdom to look forward to in Jesus, when we are called home and all that is broken will be renewed.
When this fragniverse will truly be a universe in Christ.

For the record I think BB is on the money with that comment. I havnt researched the individual, I have just researched some of the predictions that have been made.

I trust Jesus to GA, its worked out positively for me even when I didnt know Him.

the problem is that people just remember all the predicitons that turned out to be right, and forget those that were wrong.

any idiot can throw out predictions and get lucky occasionally. in fact, with the amount of idiots throwing out predictions based on all sorts of mumbo jumbo around world, it is statistically almost certain that some of them will be right occasionally. Add in skills like cold reading that people who talk to the dead, or read tarot cards or whatever can employ to increase those odds, and I seriously wonder why anyone would be dumb enough to fall for this stuff.

anyone claiming to be able to do anything supernaturally can simply take James Randi's challenge and be 1 million dollars richer, instead of sitting in some dingy shop.

feel free.

and as to grannie annies 'experiences' ... well if you are 'granny' age now I'll assume you are 60-70ish. so 23 years ago you are in your 40's-ish. And you were told that you would meet an older man? shocking!! What percentage of women end up with an older man?? The guy is a soul reader!! But wait there's more ... he actually used the mystic tarot cards to predict that man older than a lady in her 40's had ... wait for it ... white hair!!!

wow, it's genius!! What an amazing prediction!!!

yawn....

Actually, both people who made the predictions were friends of mine and it cost me nothing. They had no reason to play games with me or to try and say....the right thing !
They just told it as they saw it and it happened to work out to be true. And yes, as you will see next to my avatar, I am certainly "granny" age, I'm 61 and have 2 grandsons. I was 38 when I was told about meeting the "older man" and about 40 when my husband was told he'd come into the money. These days I don't even read the horoscopes in the newspapers, I know they are bunk, but I still never read them.

regardless of whether they are professional or hobby fortune tellers, they can still win that million dollars if there is actually anything to it ... so obviously there is something to the fact that no single person in the world has ever passed the challenge, or been able to prove that tarot cards or numerology mean anything at all.

And your point about them being your friends is misguided as well. For a start they both happened to give you positive predictions. Not very often the friend predicts bad things is it? Yet bad things happen as often as good things. Strange that.

And while I know nothing about the money situation, most people would be happy that they were being told they would come into money. And certainly you'd imagine most women in their 40's not in a relationship would be happy to hear that they are going to meet someone. And in fact if you knew the woman was actively looking for or open to a relationship, then that is going to come true the vast vast majority of the time. I'm not saying they are intentionally deceiving you, I'm just saying that with stuff like Tarot cards where the 'meanings' you can draw from them are complicated anyway, that to choose something to say that is going to make your friend happy and feel good is a definite draw.

Can you not see how bland and meaningless this sort of stuff is?

I'm reading my Tarot cards now. And they are telling me your husband had been married previously.

*spoiler*. I don't actually have tarot cards. but if you make a bunch of predictions and go with the odds then you will be right a lot and people will forget the times you are wrong, because that's human nature.

Hi Born to Watch

I was going from the only quote I could see, so it is possible you could provide the one that predicted the Japanese earthquake?

Going from the quote you included in the OP, is the 104 hour tsunami warning for a tsunami to hit NSW and California?

If so then it didn't happen.

Nor did Sydney's 9.5 or California's 9.6, at least not in the 104 hour time frame from when he wrote it nor in the year plus since then.

If there is no time frame then it would appear impossible to disprove him since nobody is going to wait forever.

Since Japan's 9.1 we have had on April 11 2012 an 8.6 and an 8.2 and those are the biggest so far since Japan's 9.1 on March 11 2011. Maybe the big one will be on... May 11 2013...
