Below is an alleged prophecy made in the 1968 by an old woman in Norway. It concerns in particular Christianity and Scandinavia, as she was from Norway, but there is also comments about Europe and the world. Today most of it has happened, except the coming of Jesus as she framed it and a catastrophic war. While that may raise curiosity, what she then said about the future which is now our past allows for reflection on the development that society has been through and how the values of society have changed. At the end there is this:
The prophecy was first published in 2001, but the book is no longer available. After these excerpts there are comments about the source and references.
About the origin:
Emanuel Minos was a Norwegian theologian who worked with the Pentacostal movement. Once after a sermon in a rural district in the 1960'ies he was approached by an old woman who wanted to tell him about her vision and asked him to write it down and share it at his meetings. He did write it down but apparently not the name of the woman. What she said was too far out in his opinio,n and he decided never to publish it, but many years later, in 1993, the slip of paper dropped out of the piles, as he was looking for something else and he read the old notes again, now with much more appreciation, as many of the developments the woman had described, had happened in the meantime. Emanuel Minos passed away in 2014, but had before then shared the notes from the meeting both in his talks and in one of his books, Fra Reykjavik til Jerusalem from 2001. In Norwegian there are Youtubes from a church, and in an audio part 1, (introduction) part 2 (what the old lady said) with talks where he mentions the meeting with the old lady and what she had to say. Later people have tried to find out who it was and a journalist, Hilde Lundgaard at the well known Norwegian paper, Aftonbladet, did some research and the name was Gunhild Smelhus from Etnedal in Valdres in Norway, who died at the age of 98 in 1973. For the article that was published on February 28, they interviewed a grandson of the lady, Alf Smelhus, who said the lady never talked about her vision in the family, they interviewed the priest at the parish she lived in, and in addition a professor of theology in Osla besides a pastor in Oslo. From the family they found a picture of the old woman with a grandson:
The above details of the article in the Norwegian newspaper were found here, as I had no access to the original news paper article. Emanuel Minos believe the validity of prophecies should be tested but prophets should also be respected. Emanuel Minos is a preacher, and close to fundamentalism at least when it came to the Bible. I have listened to different retellings of Minos of this encounter with the old woman and he also explains his reaction to what she said as well as how she said it in terms of voice and how she used gestures to explain the many TV Stations. Minos explains in this video in Norwegian from 2001 that we acquire knowledge in fragments and that we prophesize in fragments, but that this does not prevent us from using prophecy as a map to make us aware of where we are.
Which may explain why this prophecy received media attention during the peak of the European refugee flow of 2015-2016. Actually, in the event of a new Ice Age rebound, people in Northern countries would be among the first to need a new home.
