Below are the
Prophecies of Mother Shipton
 
(I copied this text from another website.  It is available on many sites, so I do not believe this material to be copyrighted.)
 

This rare collection of Mother Shipton's prophecies was sent to NEXUS Magazine by a reader who told them that, thirty years ago, she painstakingly transcribed them and managed to smuggle them out of the Mitchell Library, Sydney (now the State Library of New South Wales). The originals were kept in a locked room, along with many other volumes of prophetic writings deemed unsuitable for viewing by the general public.

This particular translation has never been made available to the public before appearing in NEXUS Magazine. While NEXUS published these transcriptions in an earlier issue (Vol.2, #3), they thought them worthy of repeating for the benefit of newer readers, particularly in light of recent world events.

Mother Shipton reputedly was born Ursula Sontheil in 1488 in Norfolk, England, and died in 1561. She exhibited prophetic and psychic abilities from an early age. At 24, married to Toby Shipton, she eventually became known as Mother Shipton. Many of her visions came true within her own lifetime and in subsequent centuries. These rare verses from Mother Shipton seem to have prophetic indications for our times, but of course are open to interpretation.
The prophecies are to the left and my comments are to the right.
 Remember that the dragon is satan.  Since these “prophecies” are not from a Christian, the ending is not according to God’s plan.  To see how it will really end, read the bible.
 But, remember that we are in a war (and I don’t mean with Iraq or the terrorists, but in a spiritual war) and when you are in a war, it is good to know what the enemy is planning.
And now a word, in uncouth rhyme
Of what shall be in future time.

Then upside down the world shall be
And gold found at the root of tree
All England's sons that plough the land
Shall oft be seen with Book in hand.

The poor shall now great wisdom know
Great houses stand in far-flung vale
All covered o'er with snow and hail.
A carriage without horse will go
Disaster fill the world with woe.

In London, Primrose Hill shall be
In centre hold a Bishop's See
Around the world men's thoughts will fly
Quick as the twinkling of an eye.

And water shall great wonders do
How strange. And yet it shall come true.
Through towering hills proud men shall ride
No horse or ass move by his side.


Beneath the water, men shall walk
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall even talk.
And in the air men shall be seen
In white and black and even green.

A great man then, shall come and go
For prophecy declares it so.
In water, iron, then shall float
As easy as a wooden boat
Gold shall be seen in stream and stone
In land that is yet unknown.

And England shall admit a Jew
You think this strange, but it is true
The Jew that once was held in scorn
Shall of a Christian then be born.



A house of glass shall come to pass
In England. But Alas, alas
A war will follow with the work
Where dwells the Pagan and the Turk.

These states will lock in fiercest strife
And seek to take each other's life.
When North shall thus divide the south
And Eagle build in Lion's mouth
Then tax and blood and cruel war
Shall come to every humble door.



Three times shall lovely sunny France
Be led to play a bloody dance
Before the people shall be free
Three tyrant rulers shall she see.

Three rulers in succession be
Each springs from different dynasty.
Then when the fiercest strife is done
England and France shall be as one.

The British olive shall next then twine
In marriage with a German vine.
Men walk beneath and over streams
Fulfilled shall be their wondrous dreams.

For in those wondrous far off days
The women shall adopt a craze
To dress like men, and trousers wear
And to cut off their locks of hair.
They'll ride astride with brazen brow
As witches do on broomstick now.

And roaring monsters with man atop
Does seem to eat the verdant crop
And men shall fly as birds do now
And give away the horse and plough.

There'll be a sign for all to see
Be sure that it will certain be.
Then love shall die and marriage cease
And nations wane as babes decrease.
And wives shall fondle cats and dogs
And men live much the same as hogs.

In nineteen hundred and twenty six
Build houses light of straw and sticks.
For then shall mighty wars be planned
And fire and sword shall sweep the land.

When pictures seem alive with movements free
When boats like fishes swim beneath the sea,
When men like birds shall scour the sky
Then half the world, deep drenched in blood shall die.

For those who live the century through
In fear and trembling this shall do.
Flee to the mountains and the dens
To bog and forest and wild fens.

For storms will rage and oceans roar
When Gabriel stands on sea and shore
And as he blows his wondrous horn
Old worlds die and new be born.



A fiery Dragon will cross the sky
Six times before this earth shall die
Mankind will tremble and frightened be
For the sixth heralds in this prophecy.

For seven days and seven nights
Man will watch this awesome sight.
The tides will rise beyond their ken
To bite away the shores and then
The mountains will begin to roar
And earthquakes split the plain to shore.

And flooding waters, rushing in
Will flood the lands with such a din
That mankind cowers in muddy fen
And snarls about his fellow men.

He bares his teeth and fights and kills
And secrets food in secret hills
And ugly in his fear, he lies
To kill marauders, thieves and spies.

Man flees in terror from the floods
And kills, and rapes and lies in blood
And spilling blood by mankind's hands
Will stain and bitter many lands.

And when the Dragon's tail is gone,
Man forgets, and smiles, and carries on
To apply himself -- too late, too late
For mankind has earned deserved fate.

His masked smile -- his false grandeur
Will serve the Gods their anger stir.
And they will send the Dragon back
To light the sky -- his tail will crack
Upon the earth and rend the earth
And man shall flee, King, Lord, and serf.

But slowly they are routed out
To seek diminishing water spout
And men will die of thirst before
The oceans rise to mount the shore.
And lands will crack and rend anew
You think it strange. It will come true.

And in some far off distant land
Some men -- oh such a tiny band
Will have to leave their solid mount
And span the earth, those few to count,
Who survives this (unreadable) and then
Begin the human race again.

But not on land already there
But on ocean beds, stark, dry and bare
Not every soul on Earth will die
As the Dragon's tail goes sweeping by.

Not every land on earth will sink
But these will wallow in stench and stink
Of rotting bodies of beast and man
Of vegetation crisped on land.

But the land that rises from the sea
Will be dry and clean and soft and free
Of mankind's dirt and therefore be
The source of man's new dynasty.

And those that live will ever fear
The Dragons tail for many year
But time erases memory
You think it strange. But it will be.

And before the race is built anew
A silver serpent comes to view
And spew out men of like unknown
To mingle with the earth now grown
Cold from its heat and these men can
Enlighten the minds of future man.

To intermingle and show them how
To live and love and thus endow
The children with the second sight.
A natural thing so that they might
Grow graceful, humble and when they do
The Golden Age will start anew.



(These verses were on the outer wrapping of scrolls):

I know I go -- I know I'm free
I know that this will come to be.
Secreted this -- for this will be
Found by later dynasty.

A dairy maid, a bonny lass
Shall kick this tome as she does pass
And five generations she shall breed
Before one male child does learn to read.

This is then held year by year
Till an iron monster trembling fear
Eats parchment, words and quill and ink
And mankind is given time to think.

And only when this comes to be
Will mankind read this prophecy
But one man's sweet's another's bane
So I shall not have burned in vain.

Mother Shipton

(Following section was kept in a separate jar.)

The signs will be there for all to read
When man shall do most heinous deed
Man will ruin kinder lives
By taking them as to their wives.
And murder foul and brutal deed
When man will only think of greed.

And man shall walk as if asleep
He does not look -- he many not peep
And iron men the tail shall do
And iron cart and carriage too.

The kings shall false promise make
And talk just for talking's sake
And nations plan horrific war
The like as never seen before.
And taxes rise and lively down
And nations wear perpetual frown.

Yet greater sign there be to see
As man nears latter century.
Three sleeping mountains gather breath
And spew out mud, and ice and death.
And earthquakes swallow town and town,
In lands as yet to me unknown.

And Christian one fights Christian two
And nations sigh, yet nothing do
And yellow men great power gain
From mighty bear with whom they've lain.

These mighty tyrants will fail to do
They fail to split the world in two.
But from their acts a danger bred
An ague -- leaving many dead.

And physics find no remedy
For this is worse than leprosy.
Oh many signs for all to see
The truth of this true prophecy.


Back in her day, poor people, such as farmers, did  not know how to read.  Now, almost, everyone does.



See above, poor are educated.
Perhaps refers to the rich men of the world.
Cars, motorized vehicles.

I was not able to find anything that confirms this.
Radio, TV, and, of course, the internet.


Could be referring to our use of hydrogen for energy in the near future.
Especially in Europe, there are tunnels through huge mountains that vehicles drive through.



Submarines.

Planes, helicopters.

Wonder who this is - President Bush?

Ships and submarines made of steel.

America's gold rush.



I wonder if this could be Rothschild.  He was born Amschel Bauer in Germany, which may mean, that
at least one of his parents could have been a Christian.


Take a look at London's City Hall completed in 2002, around the start of the Iraw war:  City Hall Panoramic views

Ongoing war on terror.

Interesting(?)


The Eagle is America, in modern days, the Lion is England, however, the Lion was also a symbol for ancient Babylon.




Don't know if this means as of her time or during the endtimes.


Don't think this has happened yet.  Although they are part of the EU, they are hardly as one.



The British Royal house did inter-marry with the Germans.




Now this is obviously our time.





Seems to me, that here, she saw a vision of modern day harvesting equipment.

This brings to mind the scripture:  1 Timothy 4:3 

Forbidding to marry...


Homosexuality?

1926 would only be a few short years before WWII.




Obviously television.
Submarines
Planes, helicopters, even space shuttle.





Into the 21st century?





Katrina, Wilma, Rita
Earthqukes, volcanoes, etc.
I found this information, could be relevant?: Mysterious Runaway Star Stymies Scientists


Remember that the dragon is the devil and that God is permitting him a time to punish the human race.



Expect things to get much worse.























Apparently, there will be a short reprieve.




This makes it clear that "the gods" are not God.

Satan will come back for another onslaught.





Expect severe droughts.






Now, from here on, I see the beginning of a divergence from bible prophecy.  Satan's goal is to destroy the majority of the human race and leave just a few for himself who will worship him.  God has a different plan.














It is true, that after the great tribulation, God will renew the earth.











Not so, because by then, satan will be bound and thrown into the bottomless pit for 1000 years.


Obviously this is satan's plan, it will not come to fruition.



























Don't know, but sounds like she was burned as a witch?







Possibly child molestation.
Plenty of those around.
Absolutely.




Very true, few people are "awake" enough to pay attention to what is going on.



They certainly do, turn on the news.
This is talking about China and Russia and they are.
Taxes and the economy - wait and see.



There will be more and greater earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.  Just read the bible.

Even in America.


Not true Christians, but those who call themselves Christians.
China
The bear is Russia.


They won't accomplish what they planned.  But there will be disease due to that war, from nuclear/chemical/biological weapons.
