3. The Prophecies of Dom Bosco


Giovanni Melchior Bosco, known as Dom Bosco, was born of poor parents in a little cabin at Becchi, a hillside hamlet near Castelnuovo, Piedmont, Italy at 16August 1815 and died in 31 January 1888 in Turim, Italy when he was 73 years old.

Dom Bosco founded the Salesian Society in 1859 with the purpose to teach poor youths.

Throughout his life he had a total of 40 prophetic dreams. In 1883, Dom Bosco had a prophetic dream about South America. In the dream he visited several places that it is supposed to be the Brazilian Center-west region. Let us see the description of this dream: 
“For more than a thousand miles coasted the margin of a virgin forest(Amazon) unexplored until today. My sight got a wonderful visual potency. We didn’t have obstacles to reach those areas. I could see not only the ridges(Andes) but also the isolated range of mountains in those wide plains. Between the degree 15 and the degree 20 there was a very long sinuosity that started from a point where a lake was formed. Then a voice said repeatedly that when the hidden mines were dug in those hills, then the Promised Land would appear (Kingdom of the Heaven in the earth) with full of milk and honey and there would have an unbelievable wealth.”
Canaan in the Bible is described as a land full of milk and honey. See Exodus 3.8 and Numbers 14.8 in the Old Testament.

According to the biblical concept of Messiah in the Old Testament, Messiah is the one who build the temple in the Promised Land.
