INTRODUCTION BY ART BELL: 

I have not been able to confirm whether this is true or false. What I have here is an article from a publication called Insight. The name of the article is "A pope's predictions to the year 2000". I warn you, some of this may be disconcerting to many of you. I also want to preface it with what they have prefaced the article with: 

THE EDITOR'S NOTE: 

The following is from the diary of Pope John the 23rd who reigned from 1958 to 1963. This copy that appears in total was distributed by certain groups in several Catholic churches in metro Manila. 

The world will suffer through a painful period of violent wars, deadly famine, and destructive natural disasters over the next eight years. But that nightmare will be followed by a lengthily stretch of love and harmony, a beautiful serene heaven on earth. Those startling predictions come from the sensational lost diary of Pope John the 23rd, the beloved Pontiff who died June 23,1963. The dusty, leather bound diary containing hand written predictions was found by a Vatican cleaning woman who was sorting through boxes stacked in a little used storage room. 

The entries clearly spell out the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Vietnam war, the unrest in the Middle East, and the fall of communism years before they took place. Later entries call for even more troubled times. Pope John had periodic visits from both Jesus end the Virgin Mary says a reverend who has poured over the wondrous tales. These sessions in the Pope's chambers resulted in fantastic glimpses into the future of mankind. The Pope was saddened to learn that conditions will get much worse before they take a sudden sensational turn in the year 2000 that will return the world to the pristine beauty that was here for Adam and Eve. Pope John writes of *heavenly visitors arriving by June of 1995 in flaming chariots of steel*. These special visitors will arrive at the height of despair and help man heal his wounds and work together to right all the horrible wrongs. *(SPACE SHIPS)... 

(Transl. remark, The Chung Pyung providence started 1995!)

Father DeAngelo, now 73 years old has agreed to release some of the diary entries made between February of 1959 and April of 1963. The scrawled messages reveal a frightened and excited Pontiff who decided to keep his meetings with Christ and the Madonna a secret. The first appearance of Christ took place February l2th,1959. Pope John notes quote "Dear God, I have been blessed like no man before me. The Savior has granted me a special audience here in my chambers. He tells me that I've been chosen to hear the truth no matter how awful it may be. It scares me a bit to be so entrusted, but I am honored all the same. Jesus tells me the Virgin Mary will come soon to deliver the first news of what will be. Now the diary entries: 

ENTRIES FROM THE DIARY OF POPE JOHN THE 23rd 

April 7,1959 

She is more beautiful than I had ever imagined. The Madonna is a joy to behold. I just wish her message was a more positive one. She says in four years time the world will loose a great leader and a powerful nation will find itself involved in a conflict it can not win. The fighting will take its toll on the battlefield and from within as the population despises the loss of its young men. The Holy Mother sheds tears as she describes the heart-breaking vision. 

The Madonna's second visit is much like the first. She speaks sadly of unrest in her home land, a change in the balance of power, and much blood being spilled in the sand. She says several madmen will send their people into battles in the name of God, but the Creator has nothing to do with these senseless struggles among brothers. 

Christ comes to me again. I yearn to tell my fellow Christians of these miraculous appearances, but I am advised to keep quiet until the time is right. I can not help but think I could perhaps head off some of the trouble that looms for us all. But Christ tells me that misery must take place for the master plan to succeed. 

The Virgin Mary says the world will get a false sense of hope 30 years from now when the chains of repression are shattered throughout Eastern Europe. The joy however, will be short lived as the freed people fight among themselves on how to run their countries. Thousands of poor innocent children will perish due to the foolishness of their fathers. 

Just when I thought my heavenly visits were over, the Madonna comes to me once again. She seems tired of the heartache she must share with me. My heart aches to see Her hurting so. The news again foreboding. The early 1990's will be a period of deadly natural disasters. She says paradise will be struck by powerful winds and waves while killer floods and earthquakes will shatter man's dwellings. By the middle of the decade, regional skirmishes will develop into full fledged conflicts. As the casualties mount worldwide famine will strike. The devastation will be like none seen before, especially throughout Africa where millions will perish. 

She has returned with yet more bad news. It is becoming truly difficult for this humble servant to hear of such overwhelming hardships. The Madonna tells me terrifying diseases will be unleashed on the already weakened population of the world by late 1984. Wars will begin to wind down because the fighting nations will be greatly weakened from within. This is the beginning of the change. Hallelujah. 

From the heavens will appear the saviors. They will arrive on June 5,1995 and begin the task of assisting in the cleanup and repair of the environment and the crippled countries. Many will fear those odd- looking beings but they come in peace, and will with God's guidance, transform earth from a charred spinning rock to a lush oasis in space. The survivors will flourish in a world without war, disease; or hatred. My heart is finally at peace with this knowledge that there is hope for humanity. 

The Madonna tells me this will be her final visit. It is a joyous one for she shares tremendous news. As the year 1998 arrives, our heavenly friends will have shared much of their advanced knowledge. Mankind will at last wipe out most of it's diseases and our life span will increase to the length of those listed in the bible. The visitors will also share the remarkable power of resurrection and throngs of wrongly dead will rise again.
Finally a wondrous miracle will take place in the sky above New York City December 25, 2000 when millions will witness the sensational appearance of a messiah who will announce the beginning of a second paradise here on earth. 

  SUMMARY, ART BELL: 

Pope John the 23rd died a year later before he ever had a chance to release his predictions. Experts say the diary is one hundred percent authentic and they urge people to prepare themselves for even leaner times before the beginning of the next century.
