One important thing we can say about
Matthews messages and
Mike Quinsey's channeled messages is that they have never given such a specific "promise" before to my knowledge. They have never given a specific date just a few weeks in the future with a very specific and spectacular event attached to it. This is not to be taken lightly because a lot of people would be disappointed/angry if this turns out to be BS. Perhaps other "gurus" (as some here choose to call the messangers) have given false predictions before, but these have not to the best of my knowledge. Why risk to loose credibility by jumping on this bandwagon at all?
Anyone familiar with Matthew knows that he is very cautious to give anything too specific about "the future" because nothing is written in stone. It is a very unusual thing that he (and Quinsey messages) back up a specific date so close in this manner. Yes, they both say that there might be changes in the plan due to certain factors. And this can be percieved as "holding the backdoor open" or it can be seen as "just the way things are in real life". It does not change the fact that credibility is on the line in a big way here. Why would someone that is usually very cautious in such manners suddenly risk it all on "one bet" if they were not very certain it would go down as planned?
Ps. check out video of Bashar if skeptical about channeling. I don't see how one could fake what Darryl Anka is doing. He has even been hooked up to measuring equipment which showed what the doctor/scientist described as "seemingly two consciousnesses flowing through the brain at the same time".
