When Prophesies Fail

This week we meet two prophets, separated by half a world, and three centuries. One is the self appointed son of God, the other talks with Aliens. What happens to prophets, and more importantly - their followers, when prophesies fail? (This episode is a re-do of 2021’s Dorothy Martin’s Flying Saucer.) Trigger Warning: I hadn’t scheduled this with the current situation in Palestine/Israel in mind, but the episode discusses a claimant for the role of Jewish Messiah. I don’t know if this needs a trigger warning, but better safe than sorry?  Sources Include:  I wrote this a long time ago, and can only say on polishing the old script, I reopened When Prophesy Fails  by Leon Festinger. and Madame Blavatsky by Marion Meade.
