The Sixth Sign: “rivers of stone” are concrete highways, and “pictures in the sun” are very likely the mirages created by the hot sun beating down on the pavement.

The Seventh Sign: “the sea turning black” is a reference to the destructive rash of oil spills.

The Eighth Sign: “youth who wear their hair long” and “join the tribal nations to learn their ways and wisdom” is a reference to the hippie movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s, and the hippies’ interest in both Native American and Indians and their cultures.

The Ninth Sign: “a dwelling place … above the earth that shall fall with a great crash” is a reference to the 1979 disaster of the space station Skylab plummeting to Earth.

THE NAVAJO END OF DAYS

The wonderful Navajo writer Ray Baldwin Louis beautifully described his people’s prophecies and beliefs in a short story called “When All Things Come to an End.” It reads, in part:

The birds will all settle to the ground; the badger will grow horns, the wind will blow without ceasing; the people will intermarry with other tribes as well as within clans; there will be voices, but they will be too weak for many to hear; the enemy will penetrate the stronghold of The People, the Navajo. And this will be when all things come to an end, when all generations come to meet.

But first, four major events will occur; a mule will give birth of its own kind; a baby with white hair and with teeth will be born speaking; there will be a famine and many will suffer; lightning will whip across the sky from the east to the west. These things will be signs that all things are coming to an end…

Old men and women who foresaw the future taught their children to hold on to their traditions and not forsake their religion, for the day was coming when they would lose it if they were not careful…

I heard [the medicine man’s] prophecy that his medicine bag will no longer have strength as in the past, there will be no regard for it, and it will be thrown away. The People will be lost without its presence, and they will have no power against the enemy.

According to interpretations of ancient Navajo chants, the “Time of the End” won’t bring the destruction of this planet. Instead, when the Great Spirit returns to Earth, His arrival will mean the dawn of a new day. He will breathe new life into the spirit of the people; all people on Earth will “melt into one” and love each other; humankind will no longer be threatened or affected by the world’s afflictions and perils; and a joyful new religion will spread throughout the planet that is devoid of all the prejudices and arbitrary laws of the previously existing religions that have been passed along through the ages.

THE LAKOTA

Humankind’s imperative need to begin cherishing our planet in order to avoid its destruction is beautifully expressed in an excerpt from a Lakota prophecy. It refers to the Star People, whom many tribes believe to be their ancient extraterrestrial ancestors, and to the Sacred Mother, their name for the earth:

The Star People that you call meteorites will come to this earth in answer to the Mother’s call for help. You see, we are all relations. So the Star People are beings, and they are the planets, and the other bodies in the heavens as well.

The Sacred Mother is screaming for life and the meteorites will hear her cries and answer her call for help. They will hit the earth from the heavens with such force that many internal things will happen as well as external. The earth will move as a result of the impact. This will cause the sacred fire that is the source of all life to the Mother to move through her body.
