The Blue Kachina
The Sign of the End
If you were to approach the leading philosophers, scientists and historians alive today, and ask them to name the most significant event in the history of Western civilization, you would undoubtedly get a motley array of answers ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous.
But if you were to respond to them by saying that the most significant event of the last five thousand years actually took place just a few days ago, you would be met with incredulity and mirth, where you would be the one that would be ridiculed.
And yet that is the extraordinary situation in which we find ourselves today.
Whereas most of these people would likely point to events which led to discoveries in science, medicine, or things like space travel, very few would perhaps have even been aware of the arrival of a comet in the skies above earth in October of this year.
And even if they were, they would laugh at the very idea that a “dirty snowball” (which is how the Scientific American defines comets) could even pose a threat to the earth. And anyway, they would no doubt say, why would the appearance of a comet even be considered to be a significant event?
And the answer is truly shocking. Because it is a sign of the coming destruction of Western civilization, in which the surface of the earth, and even its orbit around the sun will be completely changed, and life as we know it will come to an end.
In response, they would do more than laugh, they would no doubt consign you and your ideas to the insane asylum of the universe, to be dismissed as yet one more example of hysteria, and what Donald Trump would refer to as fake news.
And yet they would not only be wrong, but they themselves would most likely become the victims of the coming cataclysms.
The idea that our earthly civilization could be imperilled by a close encounter with a comet is not new. It is in fact as old as Christianity itself. St. John wrote about it in his Book of Revelation, as I explained in my post “What is “Wormwood” in the Book of Revelation?”
The Sybil of the Rhine
Some nine hundred years later St. Hildegard, who came to be known as the Sibyl of the Rhine, had a series of visions about future events. And in 1141 AD, she had a vision in which she was instructed to “write down that which you see and hear“.
She subsequently published her first theological text under the title of “Scivias” (“Know the Ways of the Lord”). In this work, which dealt with things that would occur during the days leading up to the return of the Christ, she referred to the coming of a comet and its impact on “the great nation”.
“Before the Comet comes, many nations, the good excepted, will be scoured with want and famine. The great nation in the ocean that is inhabited by people of different tribes and descent by an earthquake, storm and tidal waves will be devastated. It will be divided, and in great part submerged.”
As she went on to record:
“The Comet by its tremendous pressure, will force much out of the ocean and flood many countries, causing much want and many plagues. [After the] great Comet, the great nation will be devastated by earthquakes, storms, and great waves of water, causing much want and plagues.
“The ocean will also flood many other countries, so that all coastal cities will live in fear, with many destroyed. All sea coast cities will be fearful and many of them will be destroyed by tidal waves, and most living creatures will be killed and even those who escape will die from a horrible disease. (View Source)
So here we have evidence of a “great nation” that will be “divided” (split into two parts), and devastated by “earthquakes, storms, and great waves of water”, and “in great part submerged”.
It takes little insight to recognise that the “great nation” that St. Hildegard was referring to here is the United States of America, especially since her predictions match those of the American psychic Edgar Cayce that I quoted in my post “Why America is not mentioned in “End Time” Prophecy”.
And then there are the numerous prophetic quatrains of Michel de Nostredame, better known as Nostradamus, containing references to a close encounter with a comet that I quoted in my post “Nostradamus and the Comet”.
But although there have been so many references to comets, they all lack one crucial ingredient. Although they all refer to “End Times” or “Latter Days”, none of them provide clues as to when they will occur.
Which of course brings us to the recurring refrain of Christians everywhere. We don’t know when these things will happen and anyone who tries to give a date is clearly wrong because Jesus explicitly said: “Of that day and time knoweth no man but my Father only”. (Matthew 24:32-33)
But as I explained in my Blogpost “The Final Countdown”, it is clear that what Jesus was referring to here was the exact time and day of his return to earth on the Mount of Olives, rather than to the predicted events that would lead up to his return.
The Two Kachinas
Like the Maya, the Hopi Indians of Arizona have a prophetic tradition of their own, which I discussed in my Blogpost “The Kachina Prophecies of the Hopi“. They too believe that there have been previous world ages, each of which ended in a global catastrophe.
But whereas the Maya believe that we are now living in the 5th world age, the Hopi consider the 5th age to be the one that is about to unfold on the planet.
As I wrote in my post “The Final Countdown”:
“According to the Hopi tradition, “Kachinas” are the messengers of Maasaw, their creator of the earth. They are the spirit teachers of nature. The Hopi predict that the new world that is about to dawn upon the Earth will be heralded by the arrival of two of these Kachinas. One will be coloured blue, and the other red.
They believe that the return of the Blue Kachina will be the forewarning that tells us there will soon be a new day, a new way of life and a new world coming. Not far behind will come the Purifier, the Red Kachina who will bring the day of purification.
For the Hopi, the key date in the fulfillment of their prophecy is the day when the Blue Star Kachina makes its appearance “in the heavens”. And this is where the prophecies of St. John in his Book of Revelation and the Hopi coalesce, for this will be the sign that our current age is about to end, and be replaced by “a new earth and a new heaven”.
So the key question is this. When this new comet finally appears in the skies above earth in October 2024, will it be coloured blue? If it is, this will be the long-awaited sign that the end of the age is nigh, and that the final countdown has begun”.
Comet Tsuchinstan/ATLAS
As indicated in that post, in February 2023, a long period comet was discovered during a survey of the sky at the Sutherland Observatory in South Africa using ATLAS – short for the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System.
But when its orbit was calculated, it was noted that images of this object had already been seen by the Purple Mountain Observatory in China. So, based on long established practice, it was given a name honouring both of its discoverers. (Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinstan-Atlas)
At the time of its discovery, the comet was located between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn. But studies of its trajectory indicated that it would reach its perihelion (closest approach to the sun) on September 28, 2024. However, it was still too far away to make any predictions of its size or brightness.
As astronomers have learned to their cost, comets are notoriously hard to predict due to a variety of factors. For this reason, they made it clear that they would not be able to describe its visual appearance until further observations had been made.
By January of this year, this comet could be seen through 15-inch telescopes, moving through the constellations of Libra and Virgo. However, it was still a faint object with a short tail. Then between May and June, its brightness began to fade, although it had a slightly longer tail.
During the last week in September it finally became visible in the dawn sky in the Southern Hemisphere. By then it had had gained in brightness and developed a pronounced tail. And by early October it was easily visible in the night sky, as evidenced by the photograph below.
One of the striking features of all comets are their luminous tails emanating from the nucleus of the comet. These tails consist of fine dust particles blown away from the surface of the comet by the radiation force of the sun.
These tails always point away from the head of the comet, which means they trail behind the comet on its path towards the sun, while they are actually blown in front of the comet as it travels away from the sun into outer space.
In addition to these luminous dust tails, comets also have separate tails of ionized particles which vary in colour according to the chemical composition of the nucleus of the comet.
It soon became apparent that in addition to the prominent dust-tail which is common to all comets, comet Tsuchistan-ATLAS also had an ionized tail emanating from the nucleus of the comet that was coloured dark blue, as shown on the photograph here.
Judging by these photographs alone, there seems little doubt that this new comet truly is the long-awaited Blue Kachina of the Hopi Indians, and that it will be followed “not far behind” by the Red Kachina, the Purifier who will bring the day of purification.
So how long will we have to wait to find out if the Red Kachina makes an appearance?
Based on the evidence of the events that are unfolding on the planet at this time, I believe that there is every likelihood that this Purifier will make its appearance in the heavens more quickly than any of our so-called experts could imagine, as will be explained in the next instalment.
