The prophets of old, particularly those in Biblical times, suggested that in times of crisis, premonitions of future events would come to ordinary people in the form of visions and prophetic dreams. This would especially be the case during the “last days” leading up to the return of the Messiah. This was what the Jewish prophet Joel wrote:
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.” (Joel 2:28)
There can be little doubt that the world today is undergoing a global crisis in which the very future of the earth is threatened. This is no longer a matter of debate. This feeling of impending gloom has penetrated deeply into the psyche of mankind. It has become the “zeitgeist” (spirit of the age) that now impacts the whole of humanity.
So it should come as no surprise to find that there are people today who are experiencing dreams and visions that seem to bear out the words of the Biblical prophet. When the popular North American radio talk show “Coast to Coast AM” recently invited listeners to submit examples of their dreams and visions for 2008 and beyond, these were some of the replies that were received.
Global Firestorm
I have had two very realistic dreams of the end of the world. … In both dreams, I was with my loved ones and we were witnessing a global firestorm that was about to engulf us. … In the first dream, we stood atop a flat-roofed building watching the firestorm approach and I clearly remember feeling at peace and completely comfortable with the circumstances, as if I already knew there was more for me to see as the firestorm approached. I remember standing up and taking a deep breath and feeling a warm calm surround me.
The second dream was a bit more complicated, I remember being at my family home, pressed up against the foundation of the house waiting to see if we were going to survive the firestorm, and in the end I don’t know if we did or not – but the feeling of calm and comfort was not there.

Massive Earthquakes in 2010
Circa: 2010. An abrupt ending to Mid-Eastern wars and current global conflicts occurs – due to massive earthquakes as the continental plates shift from their present location. Many nations and islands will be obliterated. Food shortages and lack of fresh water supply will escalate, affecting all people on Earth. (I see the obliquity of Earth’s axis changing due to the melting of polar ice, shifting trillions upon trillions of tons of Earth’s mass towards the equator, which causes the continental plates to shift).

Apocalypse via Planetoid
Back in 1995 I had this dream. It seemed so real and powerful. I was on vacation at the Sand Banks in Picton, Ontario, Canada. I was sleeping in this old stone house which was part of the hotel. Anyway, the dream was of this big huge planet-like sphere in the night sky and it was pulsing and very bright. We knew it was the end of our world as we know it. It was kind of scary, yet most amazing and we were in awe, and this entity was so huge and powerful that you just accepted it. The whole event was so real. It’s like the whole world came together to look up at this thing and we all realized that there was no stopping this.

Mt. Ranier Blows its Top
I am an intuitive/sensitive…shamanic counselor/teacher with a professional spirit medicine practice, and I live rurally in southwestern Oregon. Two years ago I had what was undoubtedly a prophetic dream that I feel needs sharing…The dream was of Mt. Rainier exploding! literally, exploding!…The top blew off and there was great devastation for many, many miles. It was so explosive that I awakened instantly and KNEW that is was a prophetic dream! I was not aware of when this would happen, but it felt like it was in the not-distant future, anytime really.
Last year, after this dream, I had the occasion to drive north from my home in Southern Oregon to visit friends at the tip of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. During the drive from Portland north, along the western flank of Mt. Rainier, I could literally FEEL, as an intuitive/sensitive, the instability of the earth over which I was traveling. It was very powerful and a feeling I could not shake. To this day, when I recall this dream, I instantly get chicken skin and a hugely anxious feeling in my body.
Best Blessings from a long-time (12 years) listener.

Of course there is no guarantee that any of the above visions or dream experiences will actually happen. But the corollary is also true. There is no guarantee that they won’t. Yet the inescapable fact is that intuitive people everywhere are receiving information of a catastrophic nature. The world seems to be headed for some sort of apocalyptic climax that has long been predicted.
There is one final point which those people who have read “The Last Days of Tolemac” will immediately recognize. All of the above situations are circumstances which have already been predicted in the book. But as terrifying as such events may seem, they are not signs that our world is coming to an end. Instead, as the Oracle of Tolemac has pointed out, they are actually the birth pangs of a new and glorious age. The earth itself is in the process of being reborn, and those who inherit this new earth will experience a Golden Age that is more glorious than they could ever have imagined.

Precognition – literally knowing something in advance – is something that falls within the category of Psi phenomena, or extra-sensory perception. Over the years many people have had the feeling that some particular event was about to occur, such as the death of a loved one, or some type of disaster. If this knowledge comes in the form of a vision or a dream, it is referred to as clairvoyance.
The reality of any form of Psi phenomena is a subject that has been hotly debated by scientists everywhere. While some support the possibility of paranormal abilities, others reject the idea completely. However, the fact remains that some people do have precognitive abilities, and many of their predictions actually do come true.
Of course the opposite is also true. Many predictions based on visions or dreams do not turn out to be accurate. But the fact that these results happen to be unreliable does not constitute proof that precognition itself is invalid. Absence of proof is not proof of absence, and a single verified case of precognition is enough to prove that prophecy is possible.
For if just one single case of precognition has turned out to be true, this proves that such a faculty of the mind does in fact exist, whether or not the principle involved is clearly understood.

When it comes to our day to day affairs, we tend to judge people who make predictions about the future by their professional qualifications, and by their track record of success. Those advisors who are highly qualified in their particular field, and who have a high degree of success, attract the most followers.
This is also true for those who prophesy about global or religious events. In the course of human history there have been people in every generation who have predicted future events that will unfold upon the earth. We tend to remember those in whom we have the greatest faith, and those whose words have subsequently proved to be true.
When someone new comes along, who is previously unknown to the world, there is bound to be initial skepticism as to whether what this person says can be believed. This skepticism is natural and to be expected. The world of science continually produces young men and women who challenge the accepted view, and make predictions based on revolutionary theories about nature and the universe.
When young Albert Einstein first published his revolutionary work on gravity and quantum mechanics, his ideas were initially greeted with disbelief and scorn. But Einstein did not simply present his new theory of relativity and then expect people to believe it. He followed this up by proposing a series of tests which he claimed would prove that his ideas were correct.
When scientists undertook experiments to test Einstein’s theory, and obtained results that matched his predictions, then those who had initially doubted his theory were forced to admit that his new view of the universe was correct. In other words, Einstein’s credibility grew from the fact that his predictions were correct.
As it is in science, so is it in the world of religion and the life sciences. It is also the test for the validity of the prophecies contained in “The Last Days of Tolemac”. For if the events that are predicted to unfold upon the earth in the coming years actually do happen as they are described in the book, and if they happen according to the time-line set out in the book, then the authenticity of the Oracle of Tolemac will have been established.
Much of what has been described in the book already rests on solid evidence, although many people may not yet be willing to concede this. But the ultimate test of the credibility of the source will not be whether the events that are described in the book are possible or believable, but whether they actually happen as predicted. It is the future events themselves that will be the final judge as to the authenticity of the book.

The word prophecy has been defined as a “prediction of future events”. By this definition, almost any person who claims to be able to predict the future could be called a “prophet”. However, the traditional title of prophet is usually reserved for a religious leader, or someone who claims to be able to interpret the will of God.
Humanity has always been fascinated by the future. Throughout the history of the world people of every culture have sought to understand the future. Those men or women who have manifested prophetic abilities have acquired positions of authority within their particular societies. In tribal societies, these men and women have been called shamans, witchdoctors and medicine men or women.
But this fascination with prophecy and the desire to learn what the future will bring is not limited to tribal societies. Prophecy, or the art of predicting the future, lies at the core of almost every aspect of modern society, whether this is predicting the weather, forecasting future political or economic developments, deciding who the next President will be, or simply discovering whether one will be lucky in love.
We all want to know what is about to happen in our lives. This abiding interest in the unknown has spawned a host of professional advisors who all claim to be able to predict future events. These people tend to focus on their particular field of enterprise. And because they are human, and because their expertise is limited, the accuracy of their predictions also varies. Some enjoy a high level of success in their predictions, while others do not.
It is rare today to find anyone who is able to predict future events in any field with one hundred percent accuracy. Because human beings are fallible, their predictions tend to be equally fallible. So those people who are looking for future guidance need to decide whether those who claim to be able to predict future events are reliable or not. After all, prophets do not come with Certificates of Authority.

The response so far from readers of the “The Last Days of Tolemac” has been understandably varied. While some readers have been open-minded about the prophecies themselves, others have challenged various claims mentioned in the book. We have also received enquiries from readers asking if there is any scientific evidence to back up these claims.
The purpose of this Blog is to try to answer these questions as far as possible, based on information that is available at this time. As new material is discovered, and as new events unfold upon the earth, this will be released to readers via this Blog. Readers are of course free to form their own judgment regarding the validity of this information.
Perhaps the most important question that has arisen in the context of this book is the credibility of the source. This question is particularly relevant as the source is described as the Oracle of Tolemac. It seems appropriate therefore to deal with this question first, before we go on to address other questions related to the prophecies themselves.
