True that vague can be swished to fit ,but ascension could be a prophecy that will come true..people taking to the heavens for saviour .....think about spacestation experiments and escape routes ...there are quite a few that are written that pretty much described the end of Egyptian dynasty  ....but yes they can mean lots of things................here is a good one and true..my mother once told me in 1980 that she had read Nostradamus and he had said giant birds from the east will hit a tall tower...she then added her own interp and said the japanese will fly planes into the eiffel tower.

Well thats a fact word for word...I say prophecy ,then there are people I know who saw doris stokes who they then always swore by as she told them daft stuff like day the cat was going to get run over to aunty edna who died last year  borrowed the hairdryer so you can end the 45 year old feud with your sister.....these things make curious world,and as mentioned a superstition .
