Tolkien & The Apocalypse

i don't give much heed to these apocalyptic writings from ancient times. every civilization went through times of upheaval and strife,we even had religious sects based on prophecies of a messiah coming to save us.no-one likes to think of themselves as being alone and insecure.human beings need to feel safe and comforted,and to know that there may be some-one else to blame for all their misfortune.nostrodamus was famously translated in the wrong.the experts should have translated his transcripts as mediaval french and not in the french language as it's known to-day.as romantic and mystical as it seems, no matter how much i want to believe, no-one can really fortell the future.
