But can anyone inform me of the authenticity of this prophecy?

It is not approved by the Church and its origin is not even known.

It was written by a Greek Orthodox monk in the early twentieth century who had his pants in a knot over women being allowed to fly planes. It’s not a saint’s prophecy.

Wow, very effective.

They may be fake, but they certainly do fit.

There is a real St. Nilus who lived in the East in the fifth century, he was fearless in the defense of the faith and while the source mentions no prophesies, he is the type from which they would come. newadvent.org/cathen/11079b.htm

They may be fake but they fit.

That’s another one that, for the longest time, I thought was authentic, but I will admit I liked.

 

[MarcusAndreas]

Because they were written in the early twentieth century when all of that stuff was already going on.

It would be interesting to actually know how old this prophecy is to then know if there is any prophecy in it at all. My guess when I first came accross it was that it was made up to suit these times. I wonder how I get to the source of this one?

He seems pretty cool. Im sorry i missed his feast day.

This seems to be a good overview of the prophecy

Prophecy of St. Nilus

The Prophecy of St. Nilus is an apocryphal work of uncertain origin (thus often referred to as the Prophecy of Pseudo-Nilus) predicting the apocalypse to occur in the 19th or 20th century (depending on the version of the text). The creation of this work is very dubious[10] whose date of creation is unverified.[11] With the advent of the Internet, the work has taken on the status of urban legend. One source has cited the Bibliotheca Sanctorum, volume IX, page 1008 as a possible origin of the text.[12][13]

Anyway prophecy aside, there is a great amount of info on St Nilus out there for a 5th century saint, very interesting life. He and his son were ordained together by the Bishop of Elusa in Palestine. Thanks for all your info and links.

Whoever made the St Nilus end of the world prophecy was just as wrong as everyone else.
Its interesting that last year we were bombarded (maybe exaggeration) by threads on 2012 being the end. We are still here and I guess all the doomsday sayers have gone into hiding to avoid embarrassment.
