Prophecies

Famous quotes containing the word prophecies:

“The Old Testament teems with prophecies of the Messiah, but nowhere is it intimated that that Messiah is to stand as a God to be worshipped. He is to bring peace on earth, to build up the waste places—to comfort the broken-hearted, but nowhere is he spoken of as a deity.”
—Olympia Brown (1835–1900)

“Those in possession of absolute power can not only prophesy and make their prophecies come true, but they can also lie and make their lies come true.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

“With prophecies the commentator is often a more important man than the prophet.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
