The following is a paragraph from the article "Signs of The End Times" by JAH
The famous sixth-century Irish prophet called
Columcille, who lived at Kells in County Meath, before being driven
out by the clergy; according to the seventh-century Irish-historian
Adamnan; and going to live in Iona, where he founded a monastery and
became known as Columba ("Dove") after whom Iona ("Jonah" - "Dove")
is named; wrote amongst his prophecies one that seems to be about
now:-
The time will
come when many will regret
the days they have lived to see.
Men of literature will be neglected.
Falsehood and deceit will prevail.
Chapels and shrines will be plundered.
Sacred things will become the prey of thieves.
Learning will be oppressed and hence they will be brought low.
The powerful will oppress the poor with false laws and perverted
judgement (James 5:4), and the aged and infirm will regret the time they have
lived to see.
Strife and war will rage in every family.
Good neighbourhood will disappear and many will be treated with
disrespect.
The trees shall not bear fruit.
There will be cold and hunger, malice, hatred and bad weather, and
only the leaves on the trees will show the difference between Summer
and Winter.
Men and women will fly in the air without wings, and will travel from
one country to another under the ground (Channel Tunnel).
Pounds will be filled with cattle and jails with men.
Milk over the country will be churned in one churn.
Diseases will
abound and remedies will fail.
Every race of mankind will become more wicked and all classes will be
addicted to robbery.
Such is the description of people who will live in the ages to
come.
Maidens will
be unblushing and marriages without witnesses.
Columcille
(521-597).
