Why Have Predictions Failed?

[People News] The Fourth Plenary Session of the CCP's Gang Conference has concluded, but rumours of personnel changes have largely proven unfounded; the meeting took place, yet it feels as if it never happened. Over the past 30 years, from Nostradamus to Brandon, numerous well-known predictions have not come to fruition, despite these figures once being remarkably accurate. Why are predictions failing now?

The major earthquake predicted by Long Shu Liang for July 5 did not occur. The YouTuber "Believe It or Not" offers an explanation: when everyone focuses on a potential disaster, the collective power of people's thoughts may prevent or alter the disaster, significantly diminishing its impact. In the same vein, when the public places their hopes in gang leaders, this collective thought can also change the expected outcome.

There are countless precedents: people placed their hopes in Deng Xiaoping, who was welcomed with the slogan "Hello, Xiaoping," only for him to become known as the butcher Deng. People hoped that Hu Yaobang and Zhao Ziyang would lead China towards democratisation, but one died from anger, and the other was placed under house arrest until his death. There were hopes that Zhu Rongji would replace Jiang, but that came to nothing. The public longed for the new policies of Hu and Wen, but one became a film star, while the other was escorted out of the venue by the very emperor he had helped to elevate. Even the Qingfeng Emperor was once seen by many as a potential game-changer in his early years. The lessons from history are abundant.

The Chinese people have endured suffering and fear poverty; desiring a better life is a natural human inclination, and there is nothing wrong with that. It is also not unreasonable to hope that the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will suddenly repent and bring virtue and benefits to the world; after all, a wayward son returning home is worth more than gold. Yet, these leaders either become increasingly corrupt or face imprisonment or death, leaving the Chinese people to continue suffering in dire circumstances. Why is this the case? Is it possible that the Chinese people and this land are under a curse?

Buddhism teaches that the sea of suffering is boundless, and turning back leads to salvation; Shakyamuni has attained nirvana and ascended to heaven. Laozi left behind five thousand words and departed hastily. Christianity posits that humans are born with original sin, but those who lead good lives can ascend to heaven. Children enter this world crying, while many kind-hearted elderly individuals pass away with smiles. The world is inherently filled with suffering, as designed by God. Life is akin to a grand university; individuals come here to complete their assignments and pass their exams before they can enjoy a good life. If one merely hopes for others (like a benevolent emperor or a just judge) to provide benefits without doing their own work and fulfilling their responsibilities, they cannot expect to live well.

Americans, through hard-fought struggles and a century of exploration, first gained independence from the British Empire and then transformed the untamed American continent into a paradise that people worldwide aspire to. The people of Eastern Europe rose up against the dictatorship of the Soviet Communist Party, achieving independence and integrating into the free world through colour revolutions, with the Berlin Wall standing as a testament to the courage of warriors on both sides. Recently, the Generation Z in Nepal managed to expel the Communist Party overnight.

The author believes in prophecies, including those predicting the end of the world in 1999 and 2012. Modern computers began to take shape in the 1950s, and the scientists and inventors from that era represent the pinnacle of human intelligence. It is remarkable that such a brilliant group of individuals—emphasising that it is a collective, not just one person—designed computer clocks to display only two digits for the year. As a result, after 1999, all systems would revert to 00, leading to a global computer crash known as the 'Y2K bug.' How could such an intelligent group make such a fundamental error? Everything is under divine control. God never intended for humanity to enter the 2000s.

There are different levels of divinity, and each level has scripted different scenarios; some predict the end of the world in 1999, while others in 2012. The author firmly believes that a higher power is compassionate and merciful towards humanity, continually delaying the prophesied end of the world. Each day we experience is a gift of mercy from this higher power, intended to awaken, prompt repentance, atonement, and prepare us for salvation. When God instructed Noah to build the ark before the great flood, it took hundreds of years, providing humanity with an opportunity.

Prophecies should be taken lightly, viewed as entertainment. It is essential to complete your own responsibilities quickly; the ticket to Noah's Ark is not given by others but earned through personal effort. What does it mean to do your own homework? The secrets of heaven are contained in several key texts: Nine Commentaries, Disintegration of Party Culture, The Ultimate Purpose of Communism, and The Devil is Ruling Our World. Raise your voice for all those who are persecuted, including Yu Menglong, dissidents, prisoners of conscience, rights defenders, religious groups, and especially practitioners of Falun Dafa.

Focus on cultivating rather than seeking immediate rewards. When the majority can concentrate on advocating for their fellow citizens and reforming their party culture, the prophecies you hope for may naturally come to fruition, leading to better days ahead.

On the other hand, if we assume that the outcomes of the Fourth Plenary Session aligned with the wishes of most people—resulting in Xi Jinping's downfall, the disbandment of the Communist Party, and an overnight democratization of China—one must consider the fate of the silent majority who, to varying degrees, still accept the ideology of the Communist Party. Will they face extinction alongside the CCP? The CCP virus has already claimed countless lives that cannot be quantified. The author posits that the Fourth Plenary Session felt as if it had not occurred at all; this reflects a form of divine mercy from the higher-ups towards humanity. It is time to awaken and not squander this divine compassion.
