[caption id="attachment_14761" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="The Hopi Prophecy Rock "][/caption] The Hopi Blue Star or the Blue Kachina Prophecy has been passed along through the generations by oral traditions and ancient rock pictographs. Most of the indigenous tribes of North America have similar stories and prophecies, which originated from their "Star Brothers" who visited them thousands of years ago. Some researchers propose that these visitors were extraterrestrials whom the Hopi called "Kachinas."

The Worlds

According to the Hopi folklore, the First World was Endless Space when the Earth was first created. Since then, life on Earth has been destroyed three times over the course of history. The first destruction was by fire, which might have been a comet or asteroid impact. The next one was the Ice Age and the third one was a major flood which took place 11,000-12,000 years ago. We are now living in the end of days time period of the Fourth World, and the future Fifth World has already begun to emerge as the Age of Aquarius or the World of Illumination. It will be a time of further unrest. We can see this emergence with the political instability of the Middle East and other parts of the earth. The prophesy also suggests that there will be two more worlds to follow the next one. The Sixth World, which will be marked by prophecy and revelation, and the final world will be the Seventh, a world of completion. The oldest mythology indicates that the Hopi nation came to Earth from the Pleiades, and before leaving that star cluster, they once resided in Lyra, the Ring Nebula. They call it the "Eye of God." It is interesting that many native groups across the globe have stories which say that they came to Earth from other star systems.

The Signs

The Hopi elders are watching for the nine signs that the Fourth World will end soon and they anticipate a sort of judgment day which will be a Day of Purification for the Earth. Many of these signs or prophesies have already come to pass.

1. The First Sign: The white-skinned European conquerors invaded North America and took the land by force with their thunder-weapons.
2. The Second Sign: Spinning wheels came across the prairies carrying white men and their families in Conestoga wagons.
3. The Third Sign: A strange beast similar to a buffalo, but with huge long horns, overran the land. The ranchers built fences to contain these cattle, but it destroyed the prairies for the buffalo grazing.
4. The Fourth Sign: Snakes of iron crossed the land. That would be railroads.
5. The Fifth Sign: A giant spider's web of electrical wires criss-crossed the land.
6. The Sixth Sign: Rivers of stone crossed the land in the form of highways.
7. The Seventh Sign: The sea turned black in some places and killed many living things because of the oil spills.
8. The Eighth Sign appeared in the 1960s with the Hippie movement: Young people did come to the tribal nations to learn their wisdom and ways of life.
9. The Ninth Sign: A blue star fell to the earth causing great destruction and unknown effects. This might have been the US Space Station Skylab which crashed to Earth as a blue fire ball in 1979. But it might still be in the future with the space station or a satellite crashing to Earth or possibly a major hit by a comet or asteroid.

Purification Day

The Hopi Prophesy Rock has a petroglyph on it which signifies the coming Day of Purification. They believe that the Hopi will then fly away from the destruction on the Earth in "ships without wings." According to the prophesy, increased seismic and volcanic activity will be the harbinger of this event. They expect that the first people to see the light of each new day--China, India, Africa, and the Middle East—will start WWIII. With the outbreak of war, the U.S. will be destroyed by "gourds of ashes," which are likely nuclear bombs that will scorch the earth and ruin the rivers. The earth will be barren for many years and there will be few, if any, survivors.

Sickness in the Earth

Roberta Blackgoat, an elder of the Independent Dineh (Navajo) Nation, explained the accelerating rate of catastrophes on the Earth: "All the suffering going on in this country with the tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes is carried on the breath of Mother Earth because she is in pain." The Four Corners area is a sacred territory because it holds the Mother Earth's internal organs. The tribal elders say that coal is like the liver and uranium is the heart and lungs of the Earth. Presently, the Bureau of Indian Affairs has signed over the mineral rights of this area to the Peabody Coal Mine and they are extracting coal and uranium. The Hopi nation continues to fight the mining contract.

The United Nations

The Hopi nation foresees that the residents of Earth are moving into the end of days cycle, and they are very concerned about making the rest of the world aware of it. The spiritual leaders have sent their warnings and messages to the United Nations; however, the world has ignored their warnings. There has been no response.
