Was John Denver a prophet ?


JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

Only 3 Years after John Denver's tragic death from a plane crash the Twin Towers fell on 911. Check out these eerie cryptic lyrics from
a song he wrote called Rhymes and Reasons


Though the Cities start to Crumble
And the Towers fall around us
The sun is slowly fading
and it's colder than the Sea


" Rhymes and Reasons " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPpRyjTP0a0&feature=related

A few years later he released a song called "Rocky Mountain High "which talked about a man being " Born Again " which fueled great debate among Christians and non-christians alke as to thereal meaning of the phrase.

A few years later he played in the movie "Oh God " with
George Burns who played God in the movie.
In it John played a grocery clerk who had a personal
relationship with the almighty
Was John of divine wisdom while he was on this earth ?
Judge for Yourself .
