Art Bell welcomes investigative journalist and author Kathleen Keating for a discussion on prophecy, Bible codes, and the escalating threats facing America in the weeks following 9/11. Keating claims she ran Bible code analysis on the Taliban on September 7, 2001, four days before the attacks, producing results that included "terror attack," "target USA," and "World Trade Center." She warns that her government and visionary sources are again converging, suggesting a possible nuclear or large-scale attack before the end of the week.

The conversation covers the growing anthrax crisis, with Art noting emerging evidence that the anthrax strain may be of American origin, prepared using a classified U.S. weaponization process. Keating discusses her Bible code findings suggesting that diseases like West Nile virus were manufactured, and that contaminated currency could accelerate a move toward a cashless society. She also claims to have found Art Bell's name embedded in Genesis alongside descriptors including "radio," "high desert," and "back injury."

Keating warns about false documents she believes will eventually be unearthed from the Temple Mount to undermine Christianity and pave the way for a one-world religion. She urges listeners to pray intensely and to keep children home on Halloween, expressing concern that the period through Christmas represents a spiritually dangerous window.

Key Moments

  1. Antichrist appears in turban after 9/11: Keating tells Art people are reporting Antichrist visitations in their bedrooms and being pulled from their beds at night, but says the post-9/11 climate makes the world unwilling to accept a man in long robes and a turban, so the timing now stinks for him.

  2. Art's name in the Bible Code: Keating tells Art that Genesis 24:24 has his name embedded in it via the Bible Code, and he laughs that it gives him the GBs, the heebie-jeebies.

  3. Fatima, the great chastisement, and 1,500 years of peace: A caller asks Keating about the period of peace promised in Fatima after the great king. Keating says a lasting 1,500 years of bliss will come only after the warning and great chastisement, and ties world peace to the consecration of Russia to Our Lady.

  4. Bible prophecy in front of our eyes: Art reflects that the world had been almost bored before 9/11 and now feels on the verge of world war, like Bible prophecy coming true; Keating says if the third secret of Fatima had been released in 1960 as promised, we might not be in this position.

  5. Atheist caller blames religion for 9/11: Bill in West Hartford calls in arguing religion is the core cause of the World Trade Center attacks, citing Howard Bloom on the 72 virgins; Art counters that atheism is itself a religion, and Keating warns of a coming atheist war out of Russia.
