Predicting the Antichrist Part 1, Jeane Dixon
Devout Catholic, famed prognosticator, and astrologer Jeane Dixon mixed "prophecy" and psychic practices in a way that was actually forbidden in the Bible. She had incredible hits but excruciating misses.

Bio info
She was a super psychic, but not a prophetess. The famed
prognosticator Lydia Emma Pinckert, aka Jeane Dixon, was born on January 5,
1904 and died at the age of 93 (or 79, depending on your source), on January
25, 1997.
She was a psychic from her childhood. A gypsy with a
horse-drawn covered wagon read her palm and was excited to see a star of David
and a half-moon. She gave Jeane a crystal ball. Jeane was a devout Catholic,
very intelligent, and by the printing of the second book about her, she was
knowledgeable of Old and New Testament scripture as well as Catholic dogma. As
a young adult, she was an attractive young actress. Her wealthy future husband,
James (Jimmy) Dixon, was smitten with her almost at first sight. Together they
hobnobbed with affluent elites in the arts, society, military, and government.
Jeane was an energetic worker, writer, business woman and speaker. She was
known for good deeds and great counseling.
Jeane’s greatest hits
Jeane describes the many ways that insights and predictions
come to her. Much of it is simply New Age psychic practice: thought transfer,
quick visions, interpreting channels in the crystal ball, finger tipping,
numerology, palm reading, holding a deck of cards, a kind of remote viewing,
elaborate visions, or dreams (Gift of Prophecy, 29, 99). With this gifting, she
saved several marriages and a few lives. Those who ignored her economic advice
lost money. If they followed her very improbable predictions, they gained
financially. She could tell you which ticket would win a prize or which horse
would win a race. She helped find a missing child.
Some amazing predictions as described in this first book
about Jeane include accurately forecasting the date and location of the
assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy. She also envisioned the death of
John’s assassin Lee Harvey Oswald and the plane crash in which Ted Kennedy was
injured and others were killed. Other deaths foretold were that of actresses
Carol Lombard and Marilyn Monroe, former Secretary General of the U.N., Dag
Hammarskjold, and Mahatma Ghandi.
In 1941, she insisted that her own husband Jimmy cancel his
plans to travel by air to his destination, but take the train instead. He
resisted, but complied. The plane that he would have been on crashed (Gift, 35).
She predicted the unexpected division of India into two different countries,
Pakistan and India. She foresaw China going Communist, and she knew that after
Lyndon Johnson’s one full term as president, the Republicans would capture the
White House in 1968. The spirits that followed Jeane Dixon from her childhood
clearly had big plans for her.
A few boners in this first book
Not all of her prophecies hit the mark, which she readily
acknowledged. Many of her forecasts having to do with politics and world
affairs were so vague that you can’t tell if they came to pass or not. Other
prognostications could be matched by a good CIA analyst. These predictions
didn’t age well:
- Russia will beat the U.S. to the moon (Gift, 185).
- In the decade of the 1970s, “the two-party system as we have known it will vanish from the American scene."
- “After that (a race war) came even blacker clouds, representing a horrible war in which many Asian and African nations whom we have helped with foreign aid will join with red China to close on us and, like the barbarians in the vision of ancient Rome, try to destroy our way of life. This will occur during the 1980s, and because of a new kind of germ warfare, many will die like ants” (Gift, 191).
- A world holocaust will bring great peace to the world by 1999 (Gift, 186).
- “Sargent Shriver and Richard M. Nixon have excellent vibrations for the good of America and will serve their country well. The former, however, must guard against assassination attempts” (Gift, 187).
- Dixon totally missed the blatant corruption of Nixon’s second term, the indictments, convictions, staff resignations, the scandal of the Pentagon Papers, and Nixon’s resignation. I am perceiving a pattern in this kind of research that spirits love Republicans and don’t mind if they’re law breakers. Ironically, I was a very unsophisticated, economically challenged, young adult in in 1971 when I had a compelling dream in which I spoke to Nixon, addressing him as Mr. President. I saw him sitting on a stump and weeping from fear and regret. A stump in the Old Testament is a sign of a fallen ruler or nation. Then I saw him in the waves of the shore almost being swept away. When scandal after scandal found their way into the news, there was a headline in a paper that actually read, “Another Wave Rolls In.” Dixon may have missed the mark with President Nixon because the two of them had a mutual admiration for one another. A Newsweek article (Isikoff and Hornball) found by MSNBC on the Wayback Machine describes a meeting in the Oval Office:
- “The president also had at least one documented Oval Office meeting directly with Dixon—a 36-minute session on May 4, 1971. The tape of that meeting may provide insight into why the president was so keen to hear her forecasts. In the meeting, also attended by her acolyte, Woods, Dixon tells the president in an excited voice how she had just met with antiwar protesters who were gathering in Washington. She told how she had recounted to the protesters what happened during her first international interview in 1949. She was asked about ‘a young man that God was gonna make great.’ Dixon explained that she had meditated on this for a while. Then 10 days later it started to come to her. ‘And I got your channel,’ Dixon told Nixon. ‘It is because it is God’s plan for you, for you to be president of the United States.’ Dixon explained how she had told all this to the protesters, telling them ‘that the Lord intended Nixon to be great … He’s here now to lead us to Christ, the prince of the universe.’”
The coming of Antichrist
In Montgomery’s book, Jeane describes a series of ecstatic
visions, beginning on July 14, 1952. As she lay in her bed looking out an
east-facing window, she saw a bright, glowing orb that reminds me of the “sun”
at the Fatima event. A snake began creeping up onto her mattress. It looked
east, then at Jeane, then east. She felt an immense intellect and a sense of
“peace on earth, goodwill toward men.”
The steady gaze of the serpent radiated “love, goodness,
strength, and knowledge,” and seemed to be telling Jeane that we must look to
the east for wisdom and growth (174). As I read that passage as a young adult,
I wanted to scream, “This is the same serpent that seduced Eve in the garden
with the same promise, Doofus!” Yet, from 1952 until the publishing of
Montgomery’s book in ’65, neither Jeane nor the Catholic Church made the
connection to Genesis.
Vision #2 was in 1958 while she was lighting candles in St.
Matthews Church. She had a vision that involved a statue of Mary and the church
pews full of people from all nations. “A remarkable peace overcame me, and I
knew that a council of our church would soon bring together under the roof of
the Holy See in Rome the religions and nationalities of all the world” (Gift, 176).
This is not the first or last time that Jeane would predict
a global, unified religion. I mention this vision because global religion and
antichrist go together. World peace, all religions becoming one, brought
together by a man with such extraordinary magnetism and authority that the
nations of the world will hail him as a messiah of sorts. I personally don’t
believe for a minute that this kind of event could ever happen without the most
aggressive and oppressive regime the world has ever seen, but that is Satan’s
dream, to rule the world and replace Jesus as Messiah. I’m not going to lose
any sleep over the possibility of it happening. The rise of an Antichrist is
biblical, but I don’t think Jeane’s visions are going to help us recognize him.
The third vision occurred on Feb. 5, 1962 and began with a
dimming of the light in her bedroom. Not a good sign, that. Pharaoh Ikhnaten
and Queen Nefertiti delivered a baby to the world, a child of the east, born on
that day, whose “great force” will be felt in the 1980’s, and “during the
subsequent ten years the world as we know it will be reshaped and revamped into
one without wars or suffering” (Gift, 181). As of the year 2023, world peace is
illusive, and the closest thing we’ve had to an Antichrist is former president
Donald Trump, who is very close to indictment at this writing for trying to
overthrow the U.S. government and making secret payments to two porn stars
shortly before the 2016 election.
Jeane Dixon loved God and the Catholic Church and her fellow
humans, so I make no judgement as to her eternal fate. However, because she
mixed orthodox Christianity with psychic practices excoriated in the Hebrew
Bible, she was awash in what Pentecostals would call religious spirits. Her
predictions were often ridiculously wrong because they weren’t from God.
Fortunately, Jeane retracted her first interpretation in the next book about
her, My Life and Prophecies, identifying the child of the east as the
antichrist.
Psychic events are not uncommon
- My charismatic friend Linette went through a period where she would sense the impending death of various people. She found it depressing and asked the Lord to make it stop. She didn’t have those premonitions after that. You can read more about Linette here.
- When she was young and single, my grandmother was given information about her future husband by a psychic at a fair. The prediction turned out to be accurate. Years later, a similar person predicted the death of one of her sons which also came true.
- My marriage was predicted by a psychic reading my mother’s palm. The same person assured her that my brother, who was engaged, would not marry.
- Psychics find kids, dogs, and Russian submarines. Remote viewers see all kinds of weird things in the murky invisible world, including strategic military targets. I’ve no doubt that Russian and U.S. psychic spies peek in on each other all the time.
- In Acts 16:16-18, there was a psychic woman who annoyed the Apostle Paul and his colleague Silas. “Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a female slave who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, ‘These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.’ She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, ‘In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!’ At that moment the spirit left her.” The men of the town were so angry, they dragged Paul and Silas to the city magistrates, who flogged them and put them in prison.
- Years ago, an Assembly of God pastor in Lexington, KY accurately predicted “a big new job” for me when I wasn’t even looking for one. He was right. Weeks later, I was working in the Ferry Building of San Francisco, where I met my husband. I’ve seen plenty of Pentecostal prophecy since 1965 and none of it had to do with psychic contrivances, horse race bets, apocalyptic disasters, or what movie star is going to die next.
Dixon was unique
What made Dixon different from the average psychic was the
firehose quantity of impressions she delivered, the specific accuracy, at least
through the 1960’s, the elite crowd she serviced, and the national importance
of her visions, which led to gaining the attention of the government and the
military.
Because she was a devout Christian, praying every day and
taking communion often, she thought herself a prophetess akin to the Hebrew
prophets in the Bible. Why would she doubt for a second that all her
revelations came from God, especially if the Catholic Church didn’t rebuke her
for her methods? Perhaps the Catholic Church enjoyed the reflected fame they
received from the famous and popular Jeane Dixon.
The Holy Spirit does not speak through crystal balls or
numerology. Jeane is more of an extraordinary psychic with Christian beliefs,
receiving her information from religious spirits who would readily deny the
divinity of Jesus Christ if asked. Once the spirits impress our government
officials sufficiently to have them hungry for more exotic information, these
spirits can lie, deceive, misdirect, and misinform.
Today’s Christian prophets are no better. Their god is always
a Republican. Democrat agendas bring economic ruin, making them the enemy of
the nation and of God. Liberal policies must be resisted because they are
invented by the devil himself to hinder God’s people and His divine plan on the Earth. The Lord has
nothing good to say about a Democratic president or senator and nothing bad to
say about a Republican. All corruption comes from the Left and the Deep State,
supported by evil millionaires or billionaires like George Soros and the
corrupt Clinton gang, but Republicans are the flag waving patriots. Apparently the Creator is not "our" Father in heaven, but "their" Father. In many pulpits, if you vote Democrat, you're destined for the hot place.
This whole viewpoint is absolutely demonic. Genuine
Christian prophecy, borne of the Holy Spirit, does not promote a specific
political party, especially one that caters to the rich, despises the poor, and looks away from
crime. God’s prophecies are not unmoored from reality on the ground. So-called
prophets who run with a word that God did not send are walking on very thin ice
because they are committing blasphemy.
The topic of my next post will be about Ruth Montgomery, who
also predicted end time disasters and the appearance of the Antichrist. As the
series continues, I'll write about an apparition of the Virgin Mary in Bayside,
NY and about Vance Davis, one of the Gulf Breeze Six.

Interesting to reflect on these ideas. I was introduced to some of this when I was involuved in a very fundemental church as a teen and young person. I eventrually pulled away from following them. Your writing in really interesting.
