Sorry to jump, but this just reminds me a former RP (a fundamentalist
political party in Turkey) senator, who escaped to Germany after found
guilty by the court, just announced a few days ago himself as "messiah".
Since it is the second Turk who claimed himself to be messiah for last
decade (the first one was Mehmet Ali Agca, who assassinated to pope
several years ago), you might chalk up one (or two?) more for the
prophecies became true column..:-)
Just for fun, although I think all these prophecy thing funny....:-)
