MANY PREDICTIONS
Due to recent hurricanes, I remembered the many predictions of the Swedish seer Anton Johanson (1858-1929).
I’ve read about him online for the first time around 22 years ago (right after the year 2000).
For introduction, Anton Johanson was born in the parish of the village Tarna on may 24th, 1858. This village is situated in the middle of Sweden. He was among seven siblings.
FINNMARK, LEBESBY
Later he moved with his parents to Lebesby, a fishermans town in the extreme northern part of Norway. This area is called the ‘Finnmark’.
Anton Johanson
1858-1929
JOHANSON’S PROFESSIONS
For his profession Anton served as a fisherman, as assistant to the officials of the Norwegian mapping service, and as a member of the town-counsil. Later on he travelled intensely through Europe to reach people with his prophecies and lobby among leaders of certain countries for what was to come.
NOVEMBER 13TH 1907
But what did these predictions consist of?
At the age of 49, Johanson prophesied the First and Second World Wars, and many natural disasters, some of which were catastrophic. He received visions of this on November 13th, 1907.
Anton Johanson was taken in spirit to the middle of the west coast of Norway in the vicinity of Trondheim (the third largest city in Norway). He stood on the high cliffs near the shore of the sea, looking out over the Atlantic Ocean, when suddenly the Earth began to shake under him.
What happend next one can read from page 36 onwards in an online published book, authored by Alfred Gustafsson. A number of pages of this book -or parts of it- have been placed in this article. You can read about the origins of the book at the bottom of this article.
On the map above you see Johanson’s place of birth Tarna in Sweden, the village Mosjoen where his father walked to from Tarna, The Norwegian Finnmark where Johanson grew up, and the city Trondheim on the west coast of Norway with its cliffs.
To start with one of the titles in the book, Johanson saw two main catastrophes in nature. But later on he mentions also three storms, and five storms that he saw. But we’ll stick with the major two catastrophes that he describes.
STORMS, ERUPTING VULCANOES, EARTHQUAKES
Although he couldn’t put a timeframe on all of his visions, Johanson stated that after the year 1963, natural disasters would occur more often, with huge storms, erupting volcanoes and earthquakes. These would hit Europe and many other world parts.
Indeed, the past decade has already seen massive hurricanes in America and other continents around the world, as well as major earthquakes. And some were also very devastating in nature. However, at the time of Johanson’s predictions, there were not yet such enormous hurricanes and earthquakes. So that’s food for thought!
Many events of Johanson’s predictions have since come true. But nevertheless, could it be that there’s more to come?
If you have read this article, what is your conclusion?
A FEW PAGES
From now on Anton Johanson is cited:
Not less than five great storms during the time from the World War and on were mentioned to me that night (Nov 13th, 1907) that were to visit different parts of the earth before 1956. But no detailed particulars were given to me about the others; nor did I get the year in which they were to be.
GREAT EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS
(Page 34) Anton Johanson: Great earthquakes and vulcanic eruptions visited different areas, and also in places that heretofore had been spared. In Italy these became more violent and destructive than ever before. If I remember correctly I heard about a great new eruption of Vesuvius in this connection.
Great mine disasters and gigantic floods also happened during this time. Floods visited western Germany where large areas were inundated. Damages of enormous proportions were caused by these floods. Several mines were filled with water and collapsed, caused by subterranean catastrophes.
EUROPE AND AMERICA
Storms of greater or lesser violence and extent raged in several parts of the world. Europe and America suffered from them, and especially England.
No fewer than five major storms from the period since the Second World War were mentioned to me.
Much damage was also done by excessive thunder and lightning during these years; northern Germany, Denmark, and southern Sweden were visited in this way.
TWO CATASTROPHES IN NATURE
(Page 36) Two catastophes in nature fraught with fatal and disastrous consequences, were to take place some years after the World War. The first one was a gigantic hurricane that hurled itself over two continents, and the other a violent earthquake in connection with a volcanic eruption in the North Sea.
Anton Johanson: After I had been permitted to see the terrible World War, and the misfortunes and sufferings that would follow in its train, I was borne in the spirit to the countries and the coast of the North Sea.
THE FIRST OF THESE DISASTERS
(Page 37) There was the first of these disasters revealed to me. One of the first names I heard in connection with the earthquake was Iceland. But if the source of the eruption was at this place or from the bottom of the North Sea I could not discern so clearly.
It surprised me when the Lord mentioned these places, because I did not know that earthquakes or eruptions took place in this part of the world. But the Lord mentioned these places several times distinctly, and later I understood that I had not been mistaken when I saw the disaster and the places where it happened.
Although all countries around the North Sea were affected, none seemed as badly affected as England, especially on the east coast. The voice said this was ‘a punnishment for English pride’.
TWILIGHT SEEMED TO EXTEND OVER THIS WHOLE AREA, AND NO STARS WERE VISIBLE IN THE SKIES.
.
A STRONG WIND CAME IN FROM OVER THE SEA.
.
SNOW HAD NOT YET FALLEN…
While it affected all the countries around the North Sea, none seemed to be as hard hit as England, especially on its east coast. The voice said this came as ‘a punishment for England’s pride.’ Twilight seemed to extend over this whole area, and no stars were visible in the skies. A strong wind came in from over the sea, and snow had not yet fallen.
THE EARTH BEGAN TO SHAKE
I was taken farther in the spirit, to the vicinity of Trondheim. I stood on the shore and looked out over the sea, when suddenly the earth began to shake under me.
The houses in the city trembled like leaves, and tall wooden buildings near the shore collapsed.
A TERRIBLE ROAR WAS HEARD OUT FROM THE SEA
.
AND A GREAT TIDAL WAVE CAME ROLLING IN.
A terrible roar was heard out from the sea, and a great tidal wave came rolling in with fearful velocity and dashed against the steep mountainside.
In the lower places it continued far inland, inundating large sections of the city, and causing great damage. Great warehouses with their stores of goods were hurled over and carried away by the waves. The floods extended thus all along the coast, from southern Norway and up to Bodo in the north. (see blue dots on map above for locations).
EASTERN COAST OF ENGLAND
After I had seen the extensive damages wrought by this disaster in my own country, I was taken in the spirit to the large cities along the eastern coast of England. Here it was most violent, and great stretches toward the interior were flooded. I heard the name Hull mentioned as one of the places badly damaged, with its immediate vicinity.
SCOTLAND PARTLY SUBMERGED
(Page 38) Scotland was hard pressed, and it appeared to me as if some of it was submerged.
Below a map of Europe and surrounding countries. The blue dots are the cities and areas that Anton Johanson mentions. The circles are the trajectories of the events to take place.
As a first visualization, this map gives a bit of an overview.
Further on, more detailed pictures of the situation in north-, central- and south Europe, as well as the Americas are given.
CITY OF LONDON
Further south I saw the, city of London. That seemed to be the place where the disaster wrought its greatest destruction in England.
Harbors and docks were completely wrecked. A great number of buildings collapsed, with wreckage and debris floating around in great quantities in the turbulent waters. Several ships were wrecked in the harbor, and others were thrown up on land among the buildings.
It was the greatest calamity ever seen in England. Out at sea there were many shipwrecks and many sailors perished. Great masses of fish were also killed and floated around in the leaves.
ENGLISH CHANNEL, NORTH COAST OF FRANCE
The tidal wave continued along the English channel destroying harbors and creating great havoc in the cities on both sides.
I heard the French city Rouen mentioned especially, and a couple of other places on the north coast of France, the names of which I cannot now recall.
To give you a more detailed picture of the situation, this map was designed using a route planner, on which only 10 cities could be planned. But that was enough as a basis for drawing the map and adding all the cities and locations Johanson mentioned to the layout.
There have been many floods this year 2024, including in France, Italy, Ireland, and even worldwide.
West Germany (what Johanson mentioned) also experienced many floods in June 2021, and also in 2023 and 2024.
But this map only shows those cities and locations mentioned by Johanson. For some countries a detailed map might be even better. For example, for the Netherlands and Germany due to low location near sealevel, and river basins.
GREAT PARTS OF HOLLAND, BELGIUM, GERMANY NORTH COAST
Great parts of Holland, Belgium, and the German North Coast were also mentioned as among those that would suffer much from this disaster. I heard Antwerp and Hamburg mentioned as among the cities that were hardest hit.
I also saw Hamburg, and the destruction there was next to London in extent. I heard mention made of great stores of goods and merchandise that were lost there.
DENMARK WEST & NORTH SHORES, SWEDEN WEST COAST
Denmark’s north and west shores, with their harbors and the Swedish west coast suffered greatly from this disaster.
On the Swedish side I heard Gothenburg, Malmö, and Helsingborg especially mentioned.
BALTIC, MEDITERRANEAN
The tidal wave proceeded on into the Baltic and down towards the Mediterranean, but the damages must not have been so great there, as I could not see it so distinctly, and there were no names mentioned.
A TERRIBLE HURRICANE
About the same time as this before mentioned earthquake and tidal wave, I also observed a terrible hurricane that seemed to reach over two seas.
(Page 39 ) It was shown to me at almost the same time, and because of this I am not sure which one of these powerful disturbances came first. It was not so easily discerned, but I believe the earthquake was first. If the earthquake and the storm had any connections with each other I cannot say.
PANAMA CANAL
In the spirit I was then taken from there to the Pacific Ocean, in the vicinity of the Panama Canal. Here the hurricane started. The names of these places were mentioned to me very distinctly, and from my place of elevation I could clearly distinguish the form and character of the landscape. It was a mountainous country, and I saw islands.
There are numerous islands and states surrounding Panama and the Panama Canal (P).
A number of them are indicated on the map, such as the large island of Cuba (C) and the islands in the Caribbean (C).
Also the state of Florida (F), and countries in Central America such as Mexico, Nigaragua (N), Costa Rica (C), Guatemala (G), Honduras (H), Belize, and many small islands.
NORTH & EAST OVER THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT
The hurricane continued from these parts north and northeast up over the North American continent. It raged over the coast cities with their millions, and harbors, over industrial plants, over plantations, and with such violence that great stretches were devastated. Buildings were thrown down, and the debris flew around in the air.
PLANTATIONS IN SEVERAL STATES
Large plantations in several states were badly damaged, with other stretches inundated, as the waves rolled in over the land. Many vessels were shipwrecked at sea, and others were carried inland over the shores.
Harbors and docks were wrecked so badly, that it was doubtful if some of them would be rebuilt, and commerce was ruined for a long time. Of the plantation states Virginia was especially mentioned.
MEXICAN GULF
The states bordering on the Mexican gulf were also ravaged by the storm.
(The states in the north of the gulf are: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the gulf coast of west-Florida).
And I heard Florida mentioned.
THE STORM RAGED FURTHER
The storm raged over a wide belt from the Atlantic Coast and up over the Mississippi Valley, continuing up towards the Great Lakes, where it seemed to gather new strength.
A RUGGED BELT BETWEEN TWO AREAS WAS SPARED
Over the Mississippi valley the storm raged just as violently as along the Atlantic coastline.
But a belt between these two areas was spared; an area that was more rugged and where the soil was not so rich.
NORTH AMERICAN CITIES
(Page 40) Among North American cities I heard Chicago, Minneapolis, Washington, and New York especially mentioned as visited by this great storm.
NEW YORK
Of these New York suffered most. Here many ruins of wrecked buildings were seen. The storm roared on in a terrifying manner through the streets, and the high skyscrapers were seen waving as reeds in the wind, in a most threatening way.
Great clouds of dust and smoke arose, and a great number of objects, big and small were thrown up by the storm and whirled around in the air. Down by the harbor great waves rolled in overland.
Huge warehouses with stores of goods collapsed and were washed out to sea. Ships were thrown ashore, or wrecked in the harbor. Fires also broke out in more remote parts of the city, and farther inland fires were seen to be raging, lighting up the skies in a terrifying manner.
FORESTS CANADA
Way up towards the forests in Canada fires were discernible. Disastrous fires were mentioned for Canada at different times. The hurricane also reached up into that country.
I saw how the timber was broken down in places, especially near the great lakes in the north. The city of Quebec was mentioned a couple of times in connection with this storm, as badly harassed.
Somehow these ‘two nature catastrophes’ look like an arrow on the map.
However, realise that the trajectories may differ.
Northwest of Florida is a small green area marked,
this is what Johanson describes as
‘the rugged belt between two areas’.
The fire zones that Johanson mentions for North Canada or above aren’t drawn on this map.
NEW YORK CITY, WASHINGTON, OTHER CITIES
(Page 41) In the east of the Americas the magnetic storm cut off New York City, Washington and other cities from communication with the rest of the world for several hours. Important news and diplomatic exchanges were held up.
EASTWARD TOWARDS WESTERN AND SOUTHWEST EUROPE
From North America and Canada the storm continued eastward towards Europe, where the western and southwest areas of Europe were subject to its ravages.
(Countries with coasts in Western Europe are Ireland, Scotland, England, Holland, Denmark, Northern Germany, north coast of Belgium. Southern Europe coasts starts with the south coast of Belgium, then France, Spain, Portugal).
FRANCE, SPAIN, MOROCCO, BLACK SEA, SOUTHERN RUSSIA, CRIMEAN PENINSULA, SICILY, ITALY.
The storm then proceeded and pressed on over France, Spain, and Morocco, out into the Mediterranean Sea and ravaged the countries along its coasts.
Here it was also quite violent, and reached way over to the Black Sea, continuing over southern Russia.
There I lost track of it.
SICILY, TURKEY, CRIMEAN PENINSULA, AUSTRIA
In the surroundings of Constantinople (Turkey) I saw a very rough sea and floods on both sides of it. I heard the Crimean Peninsula (Black Sea) mentioned and the island of Sicily (Italy).
Some other disaster also complicated matters in Italy, besides the storm, but I did not understand what it was.
The vicinity of Vienna (Austria) was also visited by the storm.
FRANCE
In France the most damage was done along its west coast, and the southern parts, and along the Channel. Of the cities I heard the name of Rouen and Marseilles also mentioned, this time.
SPAIN
In Spain the effects of the storm were also felt to a great degree.
ENGLAND
The hurricane raged over England with just as great a violence as over the North American States.
A number of ships were wrecked in the harbors and along the coasts.
I heard Southampton* especially mentioned, and cities on both sides of the Channel.
Telegraph lines were torn down, and trees uprooted in the forest in the interior.
(Author: *Anton Johanson could not pronounce this name, but described the city’s location so well that his interviewer could easily understand what place it was, and Anton recognized the name at once when he heard it)
NO TELEGRAMS (OR NO INTERNET?)
The voice told me that telegrams could not be dispatched from England for several days. Floods rolled in over the low-lying stretches along the coast.
Now as before, during the effects of the volcanic eruption (in Iceland), England was one of the countries hardest hit by the storm. No country was mentioned so many times in connection with disasters as England.
NOT LESS THAN THREE GREAT STORMS
(Page 42) Not less than three great storms were mentioned to me that night (13th November 1907) that were to visit different parts of the earth before 1956. But no detailed particulars were given to me about the others; nor did I get the year in which they were to be.
But it seemed as if two were to take place not so long after the World War, and before the French-Spanish war.
BELGIUM, HOLLAND, WESTERN GERMANY & NORTH SEA COAST, ENGLAND
These two storms seemed to rage in Belgium, Holland, and the German North Sea Coast, but in England the greatest ravages were wrought this time also. Much land was inundated there. Western Germany was also mentioned in this connection as badly ravaged by the storm.
SCANDANEVIAN COUNTRIES
It then continued from west and southwest towards the Scandinavian countries, and raged with great violence over the North Sea; many vessels and sailors went under.
“It Was A Pity About The Poor Seamen”
I heard the voice say ‘It was a pity about the poor seamen.’
THERE WAS A TERRIFIC ROAR FROM THE GREAT ANGRY WAVES
There was a terrific roar from the great angry waves. I had never seen the sea in such great turmoil before as it now appeared to be, between England and the Norwegian coast.
DENMARK, SOUTHERN SWEDEN
(Page 42) This hurricane also caused great damages in Denmark and southern Sweden, and brought floods along its west coast. I heard Gothenburg, Malmo, and Helsingborg mentioned this time also.
It continued north until it struck the Norwegian coast tearing up several of its harbors, and wrecking ships. But the Norwegian mountains seemed to check it considerably, so that the other side of Norway and middle of Sweden were spared to a great extent. Yet from the south it rushed in over Finland where it was the most violent between Vasa and Helsingfors.
RUSSIA AND SIBERIA
It passed on, up over Russia, towards Murmansk and Siberia. The severest damages were around the great lakes of Onega and Ladoga.
(Page 43)
Till so far the predictions!
Anton Johanson:
“For more than two years I have prayed, with hundreds and thousands of other Christians, that the Lord might spare us from this misfortune, which was said to be coming because of the wickedness of men.
.
And even if these calamities should be delayed, let us not forget to pray that the Lord might protect us, because it seemed sure that they would come.
.
At first I doubted what the Lord said about the volcanic eruptions, and thought to myself that this is not a place where the origin of earthquakes usually take place. But the Lord said positively that it would come.”
(For Anton Johanson’s first encounter with the Lord, and the choice he had to make, read the previous chapters in the book-red.).
ORIGIN OF BOOK
An engineer from Stockholm, Alfred Gustafsson (aka ‘Compiler’) transcribed and published Anton Johanson’s prophecies (1918/20-Stockholm), and is the key source of piecing these together. This is probably under the title ‘Märkliga Syner’ (Strange Visions), which seems to be no longer in print. (It might be published again though).
The document or book is later translated, interpret and published by Swedish people, Swedish newspapers, as well as foreign translators. One example in English is by Nathaniel Carlson (first print 1940), under the title ‘Visions of Anton Johanson’.
A much later book has come to hand from Germany including more interviews with Anton Johanson in a later stage of his life (1953). The links to the book (in English and German) are placed below.
