According to the Hopi Indians

The Hopi Indians, native to northeast Arizona, have many predictions about the end of this Age and the world as we know it. They believe the present age is ending and the beginning of a new Age is upon us. They do not predict certain dates, but they know by the signs where we are in history.

The Hopi have successfully predicted the Western movement and the railroads .Their prophecies warn that the people who first received the Light (China, Palestine, India and Africa) will start World War III. When that happens, according to their prophecies, the United States will be destroyed by "gourdes of ashes" and those who are at peace in their hearts are already in the Great Shelter of Life. Evil will not find shelter. When the Saquahuh (blue star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask, the time of the great trial will be here.

In an address of the Hopi Nation to the United Nations in 1992, Thomas Banyacya, Kykotsmovi, Arizona, stated that "the Hopi and all original native people hold the land in balance by prayer, fasting and performing ceremonies" and "if we humans do not wake up to the warnings, the great purification will come to destroy this world just as the previous worlds were destroyed".

For centuries, the Hopi prophecies have been passed down orally, but many are found on rock pictographs. The Hopi prophecies indicate that we are in the final days of this Age.

In The Hopi Survival Kit: The Prophecies, Instructions and Warnings Revealed by the last Elders (Compass) by Thomas E. Mails, we learn the full range of their prophecies and how to prepare for the hard times ahead.

The Hopi speak of two paths - a lower path and an upper path. The lower path keeps us in harmony with natural law (technology) and the upper path keeps us in line with spiritual harmony and builds a bridge between the two paths which can lead us to a paradise in this world.

This skeptic does share the Hopi belief in that JUST talk will not help us to have real peace and harmony. The dire prophecies depend on our decisions, and as Christians we put our trust in Jesus Christ and believe the prophecy of Isaiah (which seems to be in harmony with the Hopi Indians prophecy) in Chapter 2: 4 which tells us: "And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they SHALL BEAT THEIR SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."

This article was written by Patricia Cummings, Skepticism Examiner.  I recently met a few tribal members who have reiterated this same prophecy.  Looking back in history, many of the prophecies have been correct and it would only stand to reason that if we continue in our patterns, the earth too, will continue in it's own pattern.

The native americans have stated the they have been holding the land in balance by prayer and performing ceremonies, some of the same things that have been proven to help the sick heal, even if those parties were unaware that they were being prayed for.

With current earth changes and a hurricane hitting the US today, maybe it's time we listen to the message of the Hopis and help bring balance to mother earth as well by offering our prayers of healing for our planet and each other.  Great change can come if we each take responsibility for creating that change ourselves.
