Voidborn Prophecies

The Voidborn Prophecies usually appeared in apocryphal or otherwise unofficial literature in most of the world's major religions, and have scattered echoes in other cultures as well. Famous psychics and forecasters, such as Edgar Cayce and Nostradamus, also had Voidborn Prophecies among their predictions. Some examples:  

Biblical Apocrypha and Apocryphal Judaism

The Book of Revelation is likely the most widely known prophecy about the end of the world. It is clear that at least in the 1337 Speak Reality, much of the vision in Revelation was realized, as were many obscure verses of Biblical prophecy. Of particular interest: verses that claimed the world would be destroyed with fire, earthquakes, and the destruction of celestial bodies; descriptions of hail and fire and stars crashing into the earth, which may have been describing fragments of the shattered moon; the "camp of the saints" being assaulted by the nations of the earth, but fire destroying the army raised against them; and a new heaven and a new earth coming down from the heavens to replace the one that had been destroyed. It is this last subject that is of greatest interest in the discussion of the Voidborn Prophecies:  

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

— Revelation 21:1-22:21

  In some apocryphal Biblical writings prior to the formation of the Nicaean Creed in the 1337 Speak Reality, some versions of Revelation included additional verses that were exempted from subsequent versions:  

And there came one who was neither man nor woman, who burned yet was not consumed. And the fire spoke: Behold, I was born of the void, and I came to you as a child, and I was taught to know love through a mother's grace. Now I have returned to show you the way to salvation. I shall open a door of fire to the new earth.   But the people were afraid, and would not enter the door of fire, so the fire spoke again: Fear not! Yea, this is the same fire that will consume the earth, but my sister's love will protect you. Come, and bring the children with you.   And the people in their multitudes brought children by the hand by twos, and they stepped into the door of fire, and found the new earth prepared for them.

  These verses were the source of the name "Voidborn Prophecies." For those familiar with the events of The Great Migration and Operation GTFO, there are numerous details that ring with eerie truth and clarity. Prior to the destruction of the 1337 Speak Reality, some theologians postulated a link between the Voidborn and the Burning Bush, but in retrospect, clearly there was no such link. This is the only known Voidborn Prophecy that speaks of the role of the Voidborn's sister.  

Mormonism

A point of interest to note is that Mormons of the 1337 Speak Reality believed that Jesus Christ would return in California, not in Missouri, as they do in this universe, and believers would be saved and assigned to one of the three kingdoms of heaven. Evidently, Christ did not return, but those who participated in Operation GTFO were indeed taken to a new world from California.  

Zoroastrianism

The Zoroastrians believed the sins of the world would be expunged with fire, and sinners would be punished for three days, then forgiven. It is worth noting that the Great Migration, the final exodus of Operation GTFO, did last for approximately three days. They also believed that individual judgment at death would be at the Chinvat Bridge, which each person would have to cross, facing a spiritual judgment, though belief was split as to whether it was representative of a mental decision during life to choose between good and evil, or a location in the afterlife. Actions under a person's free will through choice determined the outcome.   Pieces of what appeared to be Zoroastrian text, known as "The Zagros Fragments," written in the style of the Avesta, but with notable differences, were discovered in the 1940s (1337 Speak date). Most experts agreed they were likely forgeries, or at least, that they were written well after the original scriptures. But they also spoke of "the Voidborn":  

O Maker of the material world, thou Holy One! By what means shall the world be ended?   Ahura Mazda answered: 'It shall be ended by fire, O Spitama Zarathustra! In fire and in earthquakes, in stars falling and in great storms, in darkness and in the silence of the void.'   O Maker of the material world, thou Holy One! How will we know the end is at hand?   Ahura Mazda answered: 'It shall be a time of greed and suffering, when all have lost their love of faith, friends, and family. The time of lies will sow the seeds of mistrust. The Chinvat Bridge shall be brought to Earth.'   O Maker of the material world, thou Holy One! Is there any way we might be spared?   Ahura Mazda answered: 'One shall come from the void who will make an arch of fire. Those who pass through this arch shall be taken to a new world. But few shall pass, save the innocent children.'

 

Buddhism

Most mainstream Buddhism was not connected to the Voidborn Prophecies. Apocalyptic Buddhist scripture developed during its development in China, and, through the blending of Buddhist cosmology and Daoist end-of-times views, created a complex canon. These were not officially part of orthodox Buddhism, but bridged the gap between it and Imperialist China.   The writers of Mahayana Buddhist scriptures established a specific end-time account in Buddhist tradition, which described the return of Maitreya Buddha, who would bring about an end to the world with a final revelation of enlightenment and the rule of the Buddha. The other major end-times belief was in the Sermon of the Seven Suns, which was characterized by the sequential appearance of seven suns in the sky, each causing progressive ruin until the Earth was destroyed.   While seven suns did not, in fact, appear in the 1337 Speak Reality, the description of their effects could be viewed as a vision of the timeline of destruction that might be said to have begun with the Industrial Revolution, and concluded with the fiery apocalypse in which it ended.   In an apogryphal writing, again not accepted as part of any Buddhist canon, the most recent Nechung Oracle foretold of the Voidborn:  

Form is Emptiness, Emptiness is form. Emptiness does not differ from form, and form does not differ from Emptiness.   Not all shall be returned to the Dharma at the end of all things. From Emptiness shall come one who is given the form of fire, and they shall open a path to a new world of illusion. Those who take this path shall have the lessons of the old world to guide them, and will help lead the new world into right action and right deeds.

 

Vedic Mythology

The cyclical description of the Vedic end of the world, with all things retracting into a singularity and being reborn, was perhaps the most accurate description of the process of Reality Recycling. A popular guru in the 1960s, simply called "The Harbinger," began speaking of the end of the world when a limited nuclear exchange occurred during the Cold War after the discovery of Alientech.   While this movement was, again, not broadly accepted as canon, the Harbinger spoke frequently of a visitor from another cycle who would come from "the emptiness before creation," live as a youth in the world, and then disappear. When they returned 19 years later, they would open a bridge of fire to another universe, and all who were willing to go would be taken through. The Voidborn in this version was treated as an emanation given form, and this is the only myth that speaks of the Voidborn's fate, saying that this act of mercy would destroy them.  

Hopi Mythology

The Hopi believed that the end of the world would come when the world was covered with iron snakes, stone rivers, and a giant spider's web. Many have postulated that these signs were clearly marked in modern infrastructure, including train tracks, highways, and either the electrical grid or the internet. The seas would turn black and a huge blue star would crash into the planet. It seems unlikely that stars actually crashed into the 1337 Speak Earth, but no survivors are available to give eyewitness accounts. More rarely, the Hopi spoke of a figure they called Fire Woman, who would bring people to a new world through a fiery pool before the blue star came.  

Aztec Mythology

The Aztecs believed that the world would be ended by a never-ending solar eclipse. A panel in a mural carved on a wall in the remains of a ziggurat discovered near Mexico City detailed a person of indeterminate gender coming out of a field of stars and flames, and opening a fiery portal, which multitudes of people stepped into. This same mural also featured a panel with a solar eclipse and people cringing in fear, and several other panels of people burning. The last panel in the mural showed many people, adults and children, being embraced by people with animal features, including rabbits, foxes, badgers, jaguars, colourful birds, bats, squids, and serpents.  

Edgar Cayce

Edgar Cayce's prophecy is less specific, but has been used to support the apparent widespread nature of the Voidborn Prophecies:  

What is meant by “the day of the Lord is near at hand”? That as has been promised through the prophets and the sages of old, the time — and half time — has been and is being fulfilled in this day and generation, and that soon there will again appear in the earth that one through whom many will be called to meet those that are preparing the way for His day in the earth. The Lord, then, will come, ‘even as ye have seen him go.’

— Edgar Cayce reading 262-49

  Some have postulated in the wake of the 1337 Speak Reality's destruction that this prophecy does not actually speak of the Voidborn. In this case, it may represent one of the people who reached out to the world to convince them to join the exodus.  

Nostradamus

From the cosmos, a fireball will rise
A harbinger of fate, the world pleads
Science and fate in a cosmic dance,
The fate of the Earth, a second chance.

  The meaning of this verse seems obvious — and accurate — in retrospect to anyone familiar with the circumstances of 1337 Speak's destruction and the Great Migration.

In the wake of the 1337 Speak Reality's destruction, "the Voidborn" has been positively identified as Prinx Tempest Kwake, who used their Voidtouched powers, and connection with the layer of The Void known as The Overflow, to evacuate as many people as they could from the 1337 Speak Reality, prior to it being destroyed in a process called Reality Recycling.   They were aided by most of The Great Houses, and in particular, their sister, Queen Sable Aradia of House Lapin, who used her Voidtouched force field power — essentially, a Faraday cage — to protect the evacuees from the heat and radiation of the Prinx's fiery Tang Portal.   The leader of Operation GTFO was "Mama" Grace Miller,, the Prinx's 1337 Speak foster mother, and she and Queen Sable made efforts to reach out to the general public to convince them to join the movement. Ultimately, about 2.5 million refugees were successfully evacuated, including almost 1 million children. The Prinx was consumed by the Void in the effort, and Queen Sable spent several months in recovery.
