John Hogue: A Modern Day Prophet?


Last week The History Channel aired the infamous Doomsday Week. A gentelman by the name of John Hogue was featured on several of the shows. This was the first time I had the priviledge of listening to what this man had to say and so naturally I went to his website. Over the years I have loosely followed the writings and so-called predictions of Nostradamus but my interests have peaked after listening to Mr. Hogue on television. Some of you may be scratching your heads saying "dude...where have you been?", Hogue has been around forever! But in all honesty, just last week was the first I'd heard of him. For those of you that are like me ;), here is a short biography of Mr. John Hogue:

John Hogue writes about Nostradamus with the clarity and interpretive accuracy of a kindred prophet. He uses his own gift of future insight along with the geopolitical savvy of a Noam Chomsky to unravel the complex issues affectng us today. Voices such as these are needed in our times. In 1987, John Hogue wrote the book Nostradamus and the Millennium. It sold 700,000 copies and was translated into nine languages.

Twelve books and 20 years later his understanding of Nostradamus’ coded texts, as well as his grasp of the art of prophecy itself, has deepened with experience, earning him the distinction of being hailed the preeminent authority on Nostradamus and collective prophetic traditions. Hogue’s documented predictive track record into the new millennium has achieved an accuracy surpassing 80 percent.

Whitley Strieber, host of the popular DREAMLAND internet radio show, said this recently about an interview he did with John Hogue on air:
It was a startling session with Nostradamus prophet John Hogue, in which he displays knowledge of details of the situation in the middle east that are worthy of a geopolitical strategist or a military analyst. An entirely new side to this multifaceted man.


PLUS, he explains the explosive Iran situation in terms of Nostradamus’ prophecies in ways that will at once chill and fascinate you.

Many of those writing about prophecy and Nostradamus in particular, cash in on the sensational nature of the dire, sometimes gruesome images of the future described in those prophecies. The author John Hogue doesn’t shy away from a detailed look at how the future could be dire and full of doom. But he continuously reminds us of how we can avoid these prophecies, changing the hopelessness that is often accompanying the idea of an unavoidable future full of doom into a realistic starting point for change. Changing the present, as he says, is the only and best way of changing the future, which indeed will change once enough individuals decide to become conscious and act consciously instead of repeating the past like robots.
