Prophecy
Beginning of the End
All the signals are go.
Why it is almost here. Why it is inevitable.
Writing began on this book in mid-July 2001. On the morning of September 11, as it was being packed for mailing
to the printing house, a staff member rushed in with the news that one, and then another, of the twin Trade Center towers had been
struck by terrorists. We had no idea these specific incidents would occur.
This is a day of infamy for our great nation, yet this book was written to provide a wide-ranging warning of this
and similar dangers.
The information it contains is needed by our people more than ever before. We are facing a stupendous crisis,
and it will deepen.
“Are we racing to the brink of an abyss or are we just gathering speed for a takeoff to a wonderful future?
The crystal ball is clouded; the human condition baffles all morality because it is both unprecedented and almost beyond understanding.”
– E.O. Wilson, “Is Humanity Suicidal?” The New York Times Magazine, May 30, 1993, p. 27, well-known biologist.
