deadly famine and destructive natural disasters over the next eight years, but 
that nightmare will be followed by a lengthy stretch of love and harmony - a 
beautiful, serene Heaven on earth."  These were the words made by Pope John,
they describe the future here on earth and what will be come of it.  But he 
has not only predicted the future but many events that actually happened.

future.  He wrote predicted the assassination of John F. Kennedy, America's
plunge into the Vietnam War, unrest in the Middle East and the fall of 
communism years before they took place.

paradise here on Earth."
