linlou:

     I posted an analysis of the prophecy a little over a month ago 
that addresses this as well as the rest of the prophecy. The list 
volume has been so high that I'm sure most people probably didn't 
even see it. I tried to get to it by post number(69589) but yahoo 
can't seem to find it that way. If any one following this thread is 
interested, it can be found by using linlou and prophecy as archive 
search terms, just keep hitting next until you get to it. Try 
following the thread all the way through. It also addresses the idea 
of vanquishing but not killing as discussed in the present thread. 
Hope it helps.
