A book titled End of Time – Prophesies and Predictions published in 2008 had almost accurately predicted the outbreak of the Coronavirus twelve years ago.
According to Newsweek, the author, Sylvia Browne, was a repeatedly debunked psychic.
She, however, got the Coronavirus prediction right on page 312 of her book.
Kim Kardashian West tweeted the prediction last week, which has become one of the most widely shared post.
“In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments. Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it arrived, attack again ten years later, and then disappear completely.”
The description Browne provided was accurately that of Coronavirus, and more shockingly is the fact that she got the year right.
After Kardashian’s tweet of the book, its sales has surged in ebook sales on Amazon, climbing the top 10 bestselling Kindle ebooks in both the U.S. and U.K.
The Newsweek has, however, compiled 27 of her previous false predictions even though she appeared to have gotten the Coronavirus right.
Among the false predictions are: The US stock market would not exist by 2020, most upscale homes would have robots by 2015 and that Pope Benedict would be the final pope.
“That’s how to know Satan’s inspired prophesies. They get some right. But the remaining are never accurate. But God’s inspired prophesies can never fail,” a pastor said while reacting to Browne’s prediction.
According to the Newsweek, Browne, who died in 2013 at the age of 77, claimed to have started seeing psychic visions and premonitions at the age of five, but started performing psychic readings professionally in 1974.
The magazine said that in 1986, she started her own church, the Society of Novus Spiritus, which promoted reincarnation and belief in a dual Mother and Father god, alongside more than 20 tenets, including, “We believe that Our Lord was crucified but did not die on the cross and went on to live out His life in France with his mother and Mary Magdalene, his wife.”
