The banned Chinese book ‘Tui Bei Tu,’ and Nostradamus, both predicted this event unfolding right now

There are two ancient prophecies from both East and West which point to the same present-day event that is unfolding right now—the persecution of Falun Gong.

On July 20, 1999, the former dictator of China, Jiang Zemin, led the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to enforce his genocidal campaign, in order to eradicate Falun Gong. This Red Terror that blanketed China, saw the Chinese police, army, secret agents, and diplomatic means, used to arrest, beat, and imprison Falun Gong practitioners nationwide.

What is Falun Gong?

Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a peaceful spiritual practice, which consists of five meditative-type exercises. The practice’s spiritual component is centered on the three principles of “Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance.” Millions have been attracted by Falun Gong’s extraordinary healing efficacy, with numerous accounts from people who’ve reported significant health improvements.

Moreover, Falun Gong is a practice that has always been taught free of charge. People recognized it as a genuine cultivation practice of mind and body, and Falun Gong soon became a household name. It is thus that the practice grew in rapid popularity, with people from all stratums of society and in all parts of China practicing in parks and at home. By 1999, around 70 to 100 million people were practicing Falun Gong in China alone.

Prophecies from both East and West

The French seer Nostradamus, who left 943 quatrains to posterity, still intrigues people today with his visions. While most of us have heard of the aforementioned Frenchman, his Chinese counterparts, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangong, who collectively wrote the famous book of prophecy “Tui Bei Tu,” are less known in Western society.

Interestingly, Tui Bei Tu is a banned book in China today. What’s most interesting is that these prophets, Nostradamus, and the authors of Tui Bei Tu, who lived 900 years apart, and grew up in different parts of the world, predicted the same event, as indicated in the dates of their prophecies.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF TUI BEI TU’S 41ST POEM:

Heaven and earth enter into darkness, while grass and brush are rampant

The yin and yang run the opposite course; sun and Earth are upside down.

EXPLANATION POEM:

The cap is always worn, there is blood, no head.

When will the game of manipulating the universe stop?

In the year 1999, a big mistake is made.

Qin county is the only place suitable for claiming the throne.

Nostradamus even mentions the exact month and year—July, 1999. This is quite abnormal for Nostradamus, for he doesn’t usually state dates in such clarity.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF CENTURY X, QUATRAIN 72:

In the year 1999, seventh month,

From the sky will come a great King of Terror,

In order to bring back to life the great king of Angolmois,

Before and after Mars reigns in the name of bringing people happiness.

Many people probably wouldn’t understand the statement, “Before and after Mars reigns.” Well, Nicholas Brand, author of “Marx, the Hammer and Sickle, and the Number of the Beast,” wrote, “the five-pointed star represented Mars because of its connection with the meaning of Marx, a German version of Mark, which means ‘of Mars.’”

Therefore, the statement about “Mars reigns,” can then be understood to mean that communism, or Marxism, is still rampant in the world today, just as it was prior to 1999. Communism brings nothing but terror, death, and destruction to any nation, despite its promise of “bringing people happiness.”

This then allows us to review the line stated in Tui Bu Tu, “When will the game of manipulating the universe stop?”

The CCP and their Marxist ideology, completely oppose nature and humanity for the purpose of confounding the criteria for good and bad, and overturning the law of the universe. The infamous Chinese dictator, Mao Zedong, is quoted as even once saying, “battling with heaven is endless joy, fighting with the earth is endless joy, and struggling with humanity is endless joy.”

Notably, Falun Gong’s principles “Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance” are universal principles. The mere mention of the three words, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance,” on a phone, either verbally or via a text message, or on the Internet, will be detected by the CCP’s censors, which can lead to arrest. So, this is not just a terrifying persecution of innocent people, but a vicious persecution of universal principles—principles for all of humanity, regardless of a person’s race, religion, or background.

The CCP, being atheist in nature, is antithetical to China’s traditions. Hence, the so-called “Great Cultural Revolution” (1966–1976) saw a massive communist campaign to destroy China’s 5,000 years of ancient culture. Falun Gong’s peaceful teachings are very much in line with traditional thought, and the Chinese people loved it, a fact which caused a paranoid dictator to be overcome with jealousy and fear over Falun Gong’s popularity.

So, to confuse what’s right and wrong, or to turn the “Sun and Earth” upside down, Dictator Jiang led the CCP to launch a massive propaganda campaign, inundating China with slanderous reports and fake news, including the self-immolation hoax on Tiananmen Square, in attempts to stir up public sentiment against Falun Gong.

Today, Falun Gong is the most persecuted group in China. Nostradamus’s prophecy of a “king of terror” that will descend in July of 1999, and Tui Bei Tu’s indication of a “big mistake,” whereby there is “blood” in “Qin county,” which is an old reference to China, all point to this present-day tragedy, an issue that certainly warrants everyone’s attention.

推背图预言中国今明年大事（11）九九大错

（八）《推背图》展现的人间大罪：九九大错

看明白了前面讲的历史上最大的罪恶——迫害佛教、道教、基督教等正教和最大的功德——弘扬正信正教，拨乱反正，复兴正法正教，也就能明白当今的最大罪恶所在。这个最大的罪恶，在《推背图》等大预言中有集中的展现——“九十九年成大错”。

1. 《推背图》中的“九九大错”

推背图 41象，1989年“六四”无头血案和1999年成大错。（网络图片）

“帽儿须戴血无头”：

“帽儿”，“儿”字的正体字是“兒”， 字头“臼”，被帽子“亠”罩住了，形状就成了“六”字。

“血无头”：“血”字不出头，是“四”字，形状相似。故本句喻指1989年“六四大屠杀”血案，中共在北京开枪镇压全国大学生的民主爱国运动。一语双关。既是“六四”字谜，又点出血案无头。

“手弄乾坤何日休”：

红朝中共一手遮天，操纵言论颠倒黑白，诬陷“六四”为暴乱，愚弄百姓。

“九十九年成大错”：

公元1999年铸成大错——镇压法轮功。江泽民一意孤行，操纵中共镇压法轮功，最凶时耗费四分之一的国家财力，媒体造谣，公检法、军武特镇压，波及几亿人，数百万人被投入牢狱，被迫害致死者难以统计。

“称王只合在秦州”：

指镇压者江泽民像秦二世那样昏庸残暴。“秦州”：以秦二世统治下的地域，暗示这场镇压不得人心，像秦二世那样，最后自己在风声鹤唳的彻底失败中收场。

“天地晦盲”

朝政昏暗，天地无光，阴霾笼罩。江泽民腐败治国，当政时昏庸无道，天怒人怨。

“草木繁殖”

“草”在《推背图》后面几象多次出现，如金批本第48象的“青青草自田间生”， 金批本第50象的画谜“老虎对草虎视眈眈”，“草”在这些地方，喻指法轮功群众。“木”：喻法轮功创始人李洪志先生，“李”字含木。本句指“天地晦盲”的环境下，法轮功迅速发展、传播起来。

“阴阳反背”

道家术语，喻乾坤颠倒。道家认为：天象变化，人世间会随着变，所以这里也指人间颠倒，人心被迷乱。

“上土下日”

喻乾坤颠倒，和上句“阴阳反背”一致。一语双关，上土下日：土盖日，喻光明被埋在土里，指法轮功被诬陷，“真、善、忍”被毁谤。

卦为“离”，代表火。离卦为烈日当空之象，火红、红火。对应到本象，火：火红，喻赤色（政权）。离卦上下都是八卦中的离，二火，喻两次政治运动，与颂相应，指镇压“六四民运”和“法轮功”两场运动。中共红色政权镇压平民，全国上下红色恐怖。

图中戏子显然指江泽民（人称江戏子），踩圆轮，指他镇压法轮功。

江戏子的由来：公元1996年，江出访菲律宾，在总统晚宴上不请自唱，高歌一曲《温柔地爱我》。1999年3月30日，江访问奥地利，在总统陪同下参观莫扎特故居，江主动跑到莫扎特的钢琴前弹奏“洪湖水浪打浪”。2002年，江访问冰岛，在国宴上突然起立高歌一曲，在场宾主都错愕不已，整个情景上了冰岛最大的日报。江在外国元首面前不请自唱、突然拉元首夫人跳舞的事屡见不鲜，因热衷于作秀而得名“江戏子”。

而法国大预言书《诸世纪》，更明确指出了这场罪恶发生的时间：1999年7月，那正是古今中外各大预言聚焦的时刻。

3. 空前绝后的罪恶

前面讲过，人间最大的罪恶，是迫害正教正信，比如灭佛、灭道、迫害基督教等等。《推背图》说的“九十九年成大错”，中共1999年镇压法轮功，犯下的就是灭佛的罪业。

法轮功，是以气功形式传播的佛家大法。正如在犹太教的末法时期，耶稣出世传新法（《圣经‧新约》的记述）一样。在各种宗教走入末法时期以后，1992年，法轮佛法以气功形式传出，在祛病健身方面显示出神奇的效果，在“真、善、忍”法理的指导下，人们处处事事与人为善，良好的口碑使得法轮功在中国大陆迅速传扬，好人好事层出不穷，普遍带动了社会道德水准的提升，媒体多次报导赞誉。

回顾前面讲过的古代那一系列中兴盛世，都有一致的根源：天子顺应天道，不是合于道家，就是顺应佛家，特别是因为佛法大兴于世，而带来根本上的福分——但是，古代中国兴盛的佛法，还是“像法时期”不太纯正的佛法，就已经有那么大的功德了。而当代中国大陆传出的，却是纯正的、正法时期的佛法，所以，当代的功德，比古代任何一次缔造盛世的功德都大。随之而来的，是社会经济的迅速发展，中国迅速崛起——长此下去，大家都按“真、善、忍”的准则做好事，为社会做贡献，人心向善，社会稳定，中华必出盛世，而且会盛冠古今——那是天赐洪福，天理使然。

如果按照邓小平定下的政策：“不瞎折腾”、 “不搞运动”、“不扣帽子”、“不打棍子”，当局就不会打压，正法大兴于世，中华必出盛世，盛世的功德，当归于天子。可是就在盛世的当口上，作为中国天子的江泽民却一意孤行，以镇压法轮功立威，以镇压法轮功来筛选自己的人马——这是完全不懂历史上“三武一宗灭佛”的教训，更不懂古罗马帝国迫害基督教而灭国的悲剧，而且妄图剿灭的是纯正的佛法，打压的手段、造谣谤佛的险恶，前无古人。这个罪业之大，远远超过历史上的任何一次灭佛，这是有史以来人间最大的罪恶。

栽赃法轮功的谎言输出海外，在大陆反复给人们灌输、洗脑，甚至写进了中小学道德教育的课本，在小学、中学、大学的课堂上给学生散毒、洗脑。把对“真、善、忍”正信的敌视、仇恨，写进数亿人的心里。

央视陷害法轮功的、破绽百出的“天安门自焚案”辨析图之一。

中共这次灭佛的人身迫害，覆盖整个中国大陆。以国家政策炮制冤狱，将数百万人投入监牢，给数十万人非法判刑。后来又发展成各种酷刑，打死打残，甚至活摘器官牟取暴利——被国际社会称为“这个星球上从未有过的罪恶”。@＃

The Twisted Ideology Guiding North Korea’s Leadership

Examining the isolated state’s communist roots

By Jack Phillips, Epoch Times

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un watched the ground jet test of a Korean-style high-thrust engine newly developed by the Academy of the National Defence Science in this undated picture provided by KCNA in Pyongyang on March 19, 2017. KCNA/via Reuters

Unlike the Soviet Union—which collapsed and split into over a dozen non-communist nations, or China, whose leaders maintain the rule and ideology of the Communist Party but introduced capitalist markets and allow interaction with the outside world, North Korea has remained an isolated totalitarian state, coming in and out of news headlines as it menacingly brandishes nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. 

Some have argued that North Korea isn’t exactly communist, as the country removed all references to communism and Karl Marx from its constitution in the 2000s, and because it follows a program of extreme nationalism and implicit dynastic succession. In lieu of Marxism, the official ideology is the so-called “Juche Idea,” a Chinese-derived name that is usually translated as “self-reliance” but may be better understood as a version of dialectical materialism that claims to place people, not productive relations, at the center of historical evolution. 

But in terms of leadership, society, and its strictly controlled command economy, North Korea resembles and surpasses the archetypal authoritarian socialist regimes that existed in the Cold War. Moreover, the state owes its ideological foundations and very existence to communism and communist powers. 

In the 1940s, the Soviet Union sent specialists to help Kim consolidate power and establish a communist regime. They also trained and sent thousands of agents to destabilize U.S.-led efforts to establish a democracy in South Korea. To gain power, Kim used the same formula as nearly every budding communist dictator when he purged “counter-revolutionaries” with the Concentrated Guidance Campaign. Some 800,000 North Koreans fled to the south, and the state labeled family members of individuals who fled to South Korea as “counter-revolutionaries.”

In a style almost exactly mimicking Stalin, Kim Il-Sung erected a cult of personality around himself, purging the Korean Workers’ Party of all dissent and banishing designated class enemies into a network of gulags—the infamous kwanliso. 

In all, the Kim Il Sung regime is believed to have murdered between 710,000 and 3.5 million people, according to researchers, while experts estimate that some 200,000 North Koreans are currently imprisoned in a system of labor camps—of that, 50,000 to 70,000 are Christians. Hundreds of thousands of North Koreans were forced to flee the country, with most going to China.

Kim Il Sung, in particular, targeted Korean Christians. “We have executed all Protestant and Catholic church cadre members and all other vicious religious elements have been sent to concentration camps,” he once proclaimed in 1962. Their beliefs got in the way of the regime’s propaganda campaign effectively proclaiming Kim as effectively a living god. In practice, North Korea’s Juche promotes bizarre forms of ethnic nationalism, describing the Kim family as saviors of the “Korean race.”

Soviet-style plans were initially implemented, including the seizure of private property as well as the seizure of national industries. By 1950, Kim was obsessed with unifying North and South Korea before he received substantial help from Soviet advisors, who helped draw up invasion plans and gave military equipment. Later, Chinese Communist Party leader Mao Zedong deployed 300,000 troops to North Korea during the Korean War.

Officially, the country says it isn’t communist—but it behaves just like it is. The country is an anomaly—it could be more accurately described as a communist-inspired monarchy, as some experts have said. The communist Worker’s Party of Korea is the founding and ruling political party of North Korea—using an emblem that’s an adaptation of the communist hammer and sickle, along with a Korean writing brush. In 2010, the party removed a sentence about its goals of “building a communist society.” In 2012, it claimed that Juche is now “the only guiding idea of the party” as Juche can be used to keep the Kim family’s stranglehold on power.

Andrei Lankov, of NK News, says the ruling communist Korean Worker’s Party effectively runs on a Marxist-Leninist model:

“North Korea might be the only place on the face of the earth where these basic principles, once developed by Joseph Stalin around 1930, are still implemented consistently. Admittedly, the ‘universal truth of Marxism-Leninism’ has been replaced by the same truth of Juche, and many elements of the system have been redesigned. Nonetheless, this is still the closest approximation to the once common model, a living fossil of a sort.”

The promotion of communism and Marxism-Leninism seemingly started to disappear after Kim Il Sung’s death in 1994. By 2009, references to the word “communism” had been dropped from North Korea’s constitution while pictures of Marx and Lenin were removed from public areas. Kim Il Sung and son Kim Jong Il were frequently displayed next to them, while both Kims are credited with writing huge numbers of books on Marxist theory. 

When the Soviet Union collapsed, the Juche ideology became the primary doctrine, as “the Kim dynasty is much more than just an authoritarian political regime. It holds itself to be the ultimate source of power, virtue, spiritual wisdom and truth for its citizens,” the DailyNK writes. 

Another deviation from typically Marxist states is the North Korean Songbun “caste system,” which was adopted by the communist Worker’s Party in the late 1950s. It amounted to being essentially a massive purge of North Korea’s society to create five social classes. “This system was established in the late 1950s and came into full power somewhere around 1967. It divides the population into groups, according to the actions and status of their paternal ancestor (and themselves, depending on their age) during the Japanese colonial period and the Korean War,” according to NK News. In theory, there are no classes in communist societies—but granulated class hierarchies have developed in both the Soviet Union and China. The Chinese Communist Party, for example, has a fantastically complex hierarchy, where top-level communists enjoy the greatest privileges.

The Organisation Guidance Department of the Communist party controlled the Songbun system, with many experts believing it to have been the true center of power in the 1960s, when North Korean authorities began classifying every citizen as an enemy or a supporter.

But it still retains hallmarks typical of communist states, including the imagery and obsession with ideology. Propaganda pieces of the Kim family are painted in a communist “socialist realist” style. Blood red banners and interior design are commonplace. Kim Jong Un has sported a Mao Zedong-style suit, while the party recently granted him the title of “chairman,” akin to Mao. He’s also the chairman of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the Central Military Commissions, which are communist in origin.

North Korea’s apparatus of repression is decidedly Stalinist in nature.

Every newspaper, book, and magazine is authorized by the government to promote Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong-Il, and Kim Jong-Un, and North Koreans are forbidden from listening to foreign broadcasters or reading foreign publications.

North Korea also has its own gulag system, with some 150,000 to 200,000 people estimated to be imprisoned currently. Forced labor, starvation, forced abortions, executions, torture, beatings, and more are commonplace. Children born to parents in the camps remain there for the remainder of their lives, as part of the Songbun caste system. Citizens are kept in the dark and are unable to leave, much like in the Soviet Union before its fall. And from 1948 until 1987, the Kim Il Sung regime is believed to have murdered between 710,000 and 3.5 million people, University of Hawaii political science professor R.J. Rummel said.

In 2014, the United Nations investigated Kim Jong Un’s regime for committing crimes against humanity and possibly genocide—also hallmarks of communist regimes.  Torture, mass starvation, and mass killings are commonplace in North Korean camps.

“Even now as I speak here today there are still babies being born in the camps, public executions – like that of my mother and brother – happening in the camp, and dying from beatings and starvations,” camp survivor Shin Dong-Hyuk said in 2014, referring to another report on the alleged genocide.
