Hear the words of the prophet?

Sunday, 18. September 2005, 00:39:32

When the Jews return to Zion
And a comet fills the sky
And the Holy Roman Empire rises,
Then you and I must die.
From the eternal sea he rises,
Creating armies on either shore,
Turning man against his brother
'Til man exists no more.

That quote is from the movie The Omen, which I recently rewatched (perhaps for the fifth or sixth time). Uttered by a character named Father Brennen, he claims that it is from the book of Revelations. But after doing a search with several different versions of the bible, I am unable to find it there. Does anyone know if this prophecy is indeed biblical?

Oh, BTW, I recently found out that Hollywood will remake the Omen for release on June 6, 2006 (the sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth year of the new millennium). According to IMDB, it will star Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles, which seems to me to be good choices. I hope they make is as creepy as the original.

never heard of the Omen but I guess I'll watch it. Hopefully it is scary as I haven't had goosebumps for a long time.

It was a pretty creepy movie at its time (not that I would know, I wasn't born yet when it was released). With very little special effects, it relies on good ol' pacing and storytelling to terrify audiences. IMO, it's better than the Exorcist.

I too have searched revelations for this quote, but it doesn't exist in that context. I think it's a poetic prediction that the catholic priests made up, based on the symbolic representations leading up to the coming of the Anti-Christ..

I have also searched for that quote and havent found it. It may be a prediction by priests or something.....what Damien reads in the Bible in the second movie is there though, I made sure of that.

It's lyrics from a band called Iced Earth apparently, it's not actually from the Bible.

The Omen was released in 1976. Iced Earth didn't release an album till 1991. If there was "copying", it's probably the band taking it from the movie. BTW, I've never heard of Iced Earth before. Are they good? What album or single would you recommend for a first-time listener?
