December of last year a reader asked me about Sollog, a self-proclaimed prophet and I did an article on him.
He made two concrete prophesies as follows:
"On January 1st 2002 a magnitude 7.0+ quake shall occur.
"On March 21st 2002 a magnitude 7.0+ quake shall occur."
In response to these predictions I wrote:
"My guess is that a fairly large earthquake or two will occur in the first six months of 2002, but not on the dates predicted, and he will claim this fulfills his prediction."
As it turns out my "guess" was a much more accurate prediction than Sollog's were, who claims to be a mouthpiece for God, and that all future events are set in stone.
The facts:
No major quake occurred on the dates predicted.
There have however, been a couple significant quakes on other dates most notable the recent on one Afghanistan on March 26th. Nothing significant occurred close to Jan 1, but the Afghan quake occurred about five days away from his second prediction.
However, he predicted a 7.0+ earthquake and the Afghan quake was 6.1.
Even so, he made me a true prophet by doing as I predicted and claiming success. On his web page he is proclaiming that Afghan quake is proof he is a true prophet without giving the details of his prophecy.
He is also falsely stating that a 7.0 earthquake occurred in Japan, but the AP wire says it was only a 5.0.
If you want to be a true prophet take the prophesies of that others are making in the name of God and predict the opposite and you will be right 99% of the time.
About the other 1% - we must remember that even a stopped clock is accurate twice a day.
