If you haven't heard of the 4chan Prophecy, also known as the Prophecy of /pol/ or the Prophecy of Kek, you can [read it here.](https://pic8.co/sh/e3N2GK.jpg) This was an enigmatic text post made on /pol/ in June of 2016, before Brexit or the election of Trump occurred. Some think that this post predicted these events. Whether the post actually predicted these events or not, there are some pre-existing references that this prophecy is based on. In this thread I will definitively decode these references and end confusion about what the prophecy is supposed to mean. Not every sign can be decoded unfortunately, but I think most can be with a high degree of certainty. I've received this information both from my own research, as well as from a number of quality posts throughout the Internet. I believe my work represents the most comprehensive and authoritative explication of the 4chan Prophecy to date. Here goes: >Three branches will become one. While this is popularly interpreted as the Republican victory in the Presidency, House, and the Senate in 2016, these aren't technically the "branches" of US government. The actual branches are the Judiciary, Executive, and Legislative. The House and the Senate are both in the Legislative branch, while the Judiciary includes the Supreme Court. Assuming this sign refers to the political situation in the United States, a more accurate interpretation would be the appointment of Neil Gorsuch in 2017, or the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh in early 2018 when the Republicans still controlled both houses in the Legislature. That said, "three branches becoming one" is pretty vague and could refer to a large number of things. Genesis 40:10 mentions three branches, although they don't "become one" or seem to refer to any modern event. >An island will drift away. This is popularly interpreted as Brexit, either the referendum in June 2016 or the formal withdrawal in January 2020. At the latest, this sign may refer to the end of the "transition period" on December 31 2020, when the UK will no longer be subject to EU laws. If this refers to the referendum, it probably means that the signs are not listed sequentially. If it refers to the formal withdrawal, this could imply large gaps of time between the appearance of signs, and that the remaining signs have yet to appear. Revelation 16 mentions "every island [fleeing] away" after a great earthquake, but this is specified to be "every island" rather than just one. >A killing bolt will shine in the night but will not kill. This is popularly interpreted as a missile launch, either one that misses, is only intended to destroy property, or is part of a test. This could also be a natural event, such as a lightning strike, that is capable of killing. This sign was originally interpreted as the 2017 Shayrat Missile Strike until several casualties were reported as a result of it. Others have suggested this represents a North Korean missile test. From a religious perspective, some have suggested this represents one of the falling stars mentioned in the Book of Revelation. >The star will gorge itself on clay. The star is a very popular symbol in vexillology, but is probably most associated with Communist states or the state of Israel. Either North Korea or the state of Israel making large land grabs would fulfill this prophecy. Some claim that Jerusalem being recognized as the capital of Israel fulfills it, but I'm dubious. It should be noted that clay includes water as part of its structure and is often found near water. This could also be another potential reference to the events of Revelation in which various stars fall from the sky. It is unlikely that this sign refers to the 2017 eclipse, considering its description as “the star” rather than “the sun”, and the fact that there is no clay on the Moon, since it has no water. I don't think this sign has to do with Texas either, since Texas is not known internationally as "the star". >Idols will speak and move about. This is popularly interpreted as celebrities getting involved in politics. “Idols” are an object of worship. To say they will “speak and move about” suggests previously inert objects of worship gaining agency. The closest Biblical reference is likely Revelation 13, where the "image of the beast" is given power to speak and punish those that don't worship it. This may also refer to robotics, AI, or have something to do with the sin of idolatry. >The black flag will fly above the dome. **This sign has been fully decoded.** It is too specific for it to refer to anything other than [the hadith of black flags](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadith_of_black_flags), an Islamic prophecy predicting that black flags will be flown over Jerusalem before the end times. The "dome" is the [Dome of the Rock](https://infogalactic.com/info/Dome_of_the_Rock), one of the most prominent (and oldest) Islamic works in Jerusalem. It was built on the Temple Mount, site of the First and Second Jewish Temples. It stands over the holiest site in Judaism and the third-holiest in Islam after Mecca and Medina. >The belly of the dragon will drip water. This is popularly interpreted as something to do with China, which has been represented by a dragon for hundreds of years. If so, “the belly” may refer to central or coastal China. “Drip water” is ambiguous. It could be a euphemism for losing wealth, or it could literally refer to water, and thus mean either a drought, a period of floods or rainstorms, or even a dam springing a leak. Revelation 12 contains a dragon that spews water from its mouth, but isn't mentioned dripping water from its belly. Several beasts in Revelation emerge from the sea, however. >Two voices will call out in a silence that all will hear. This sign makes two Biblical references. First, it echoes the saying [“lone voice in the wilderness”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_in_the_Wilderness), as used by both Isaiah and John the Baptist to foretell the coming of Christ. John 1:23 - “John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, "I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness: Make straight the way for the LORD."” The fact that there are two voices, rather than just one, refers to the [two witnesses](https://infogalactic.com/info/Two_witnesses) mentioned in Revelation who will prophesy to the nations for 1,260 days before being struck down. Thus, this sign refers to the emergence of two prominent figures who will prophesize the coming of a Messiah as well as the end times. I feel very confident this is the correct interpretation, or at least that this sign was influenced by the Biblical prophecy. >A rock will stand on seven hills. There are many locations with "seven hills", but the most prominent and well-known of these is Rome. Rome is the seat of the Catholic Church, which was founded by Saint Peter, whose name in Aramaic meant "rock". Matthew 16:18 - “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and **upon this rock I will build my church;** and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” The centuries-old [Prophecy of the Popes](https://infogalactic.com/info/Prophecy_of_the_Popes) proclaims that the current Pope is either the last, or one of the few before the last Pope. The final Pope will be named [Peter II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Peter_II). Remember that the original meaning of "Peter" is "rock". "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit. Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, **the city of seven hills** will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End." - attributed to Saint Malachy, [The Prophecy of the Popes](https://infogalactic.com/info/Prophecy_of_the_Popes) In this case, the “rock” likely refers to a strong Pope or to the Vatican itself; to “stand” means to either stand up and become prominent or to stand in the face of a crisis; and “seven hills” refers to the city of Rome. There is another interpretation however. Revelation 19 contains a reference to "seven hills" on which a woman, and a city, sit. It's suggested that this city is Babylon, but others consider this an analogy for Rome. >The ravens will starve. This sign most likely refers to the [ravens of the Tower of London](https://infogalactic.com/info/Ravens_of_the_Tower_of_London). Legend holds that "if the Tower of London ravens are lost or fly away, the Crown will fall and Britain with it". This came close to happening during WWII, when all but one of the ravens was killed during the Blitz. The ravens “starving” may mean either that the ravens themselves will die, or is a metaphor for Britain entering a severe economic depression or lack of resources. There is a minor reference to hungry ravens in Job 38:41 - "Who provides food for the raven when its young cry out to God and wander about for lack of food?" The answer to this hypothetical question, of course, is God. God allowing ravens to starve may indicate Him turning His back on the Earth. >The bear will leave its cave forever. The popular interpretation is that “the bear” refers to Russia, and "leaving its cave" means it becomes expansionist and grabs more territory. One interpretation says that a cave is a place of protection, so this may put Russia at risk. Alternatively, the bear "leaving its cave" may suggest Russia becoming incorporated into the globalist system. Daniel 7, one of the books of the Old Testament, has a prophecy about an aggressive bear that represents one of the kings of the Earth in the end times, which suggests the expansionist interpretation is the valid one. The bear is eventually conquered by a multi-headed beast very similar to the beast of Revelation. >The rod and the ring will strike. The [rod and the ring](https://infogalactic.com/info/Rod-and-ring_symbol) are millennia-old symbols of royal authority. In the book of Revelation, the Antichrist is specified to rule with a "rod of iron". Other than that, I'm not sure exactly what this sign means. ---- ##If you enjoyed this post (it took me several hours to research and write) please check out my subs at /s/FoundationGuide and /s/Activism where I upload unrelated but similarly high-quality content.
