CHAPTER VII

FUTURE CYCLES
January 28, 1927.
IN making my predictions I use geometry and mathematics,just as the
astronomer does, based on immutable laws. I am a believer in the Bible.
It is the most wonderful book ever written, a book of science, philosophy
and religion. I claim that all scientific laws are laid down in the Bible
if a person knows where to find them.
Refer to St. Matthew 7: 7, which says:
"Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find,knock and it shall
be opened unto you." I hold that the Bible contains the key to the
process by which man may know all there is to know of the future,if he
will only seek diligently for the rules laid down in the Holy Book. My
calculations are based on the cycle theory and on mathematical sequences.
History repeats itself. That is what I have always contended, -- that in
order to know and predict the future of anything you only have to look up
what has happened in the past and get a correct base or starting point.
My authority for stating that the future is but a repetition of the past
is found in the Bible.
Read Eccl. 1: 9:
"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be;and that which is
done, is that which shall be done:and there is no new thing under the
sun."
Again "That which has been is now and that which is to be hath already
been." This makes it plain that everything works according to past
cycles, and that history repeats itself in the lives of men, nations and
the stock market. We are told that the great continent of Atlantis, for
centuries submerged under the Atlantic Ocean, possessed a civilization
greater than ours of today. The people of Atlantis had their telephones,
wireless, radios and airplanes. There is considerable truth in that
statement. According to mathematical sequence, the wonderful inventions
that brought comfort and convenience to the Atlantians are due to appear
again, and we are now only on the threshold of another great age.
Remember, everything in this universe is elliptical or circular in
motion; that applies both to the abstract and the concrete, the mental,
physical and spiritual. Every thought you think makes a circle, and it
comes back to you. It may take years but you will get the effects, good
or evil, according as the thought was either good or evil. That is a
truth we should learn, and the world will be the better for it. In making
my calculations on the stock market, or any future event, I get the past
history and find out what cycle we are in and then predict the curve for
the future, which is a repetition of past market movements. The great law
of vibration is based on like producing ike. Like causes produce like
effects. Wireless telegraphy, the phonograph and the radio are based on
this law. The limit of future predictions based on exact mathematical law
is only restricted by lack of knowledge of correct data on past history
to work from. It is
just as easy to figure 100 years or 1000 years in the future as one or
two years ahead, if you have the correct
starting point and know the cycle which is going to be repeated.
A few years ago even scientific men, not alone the public, would have
laughed at such a thing and refused to believe it. But mathematical
science, which is the only real science that the entire civilized world
has agreed upon, furnishes unmistakable proof of history repeating itself
and shows that the cycle theory, or harmonic analysis, is the only thing
that we can rely upon to ascertain the future. Sometime ago an article
appeared in the New York American commenting on the writings of Sir
Arthur Evans, foremost English archeologist, who published "The Palace of
Minos," a book concerning the ancient City of Minotaur. He described the
excavation on the Isle of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea, in which they
found modern apartment houses, bath tubs and corsets, the same as used
today. The plumbing that they found was so excellent that it is still
working after thousands of years. It is estimated that the ancient city
was destroyed
over 5000 years ago, or about 3500 B.C. The fact that a long time elapsed
before apartment houses became popular again is another proof of history
repeating itself and shows "There is no new thing under sun," but that we
simply resurrect the old ones. "How do I forecast future cycles?" you may
ask. In order to forecast future cycles, the most important thing is to
begin right, for if we have the right beginning, we will get the right
ending. If we know the cause of the effect, then there can be no doubt
about predicting the future event or effect.
I have always looked for causes and when once I determine a cause I can
always be sure of the effect or future event which I predict. IT IS NOT
MY AIM TO EXPLAIN THE CAUSE OF CYCLES. The general public is not yet
ready for it and probably would not understand or believe it if I
explained it.
In every law of nature there is a major and a minor; a positive, a
negative, and a neutral. Therefore, in
cycles there must be a lesser, a greater and intermediate cycle, or
cycles within cycles. Like Ezekiel says:
"Wheel within a wheel.”
Time is the great factor that proves all things. The measurement of time
first originated and is based on the earth's motion upon its axis. One of
the smallest cycles, or time factors, which repeats regularly in things
that are very active and have a high vibration, is the four-minute cycle.
The reason for this is that the earth moves one degree every four
minutes. The next cycle is 24 hours, the complete time required for the
earth to make one revolution upon its axis. That is how man measured his
cycle of a day. The next important cycle is one year, the time required
for the earth to move around the sun. This brings about the four seasons
of the year. These are the minor cycles.
The major cycles run in 100 and 5000 years with variations based on minor
cycles. In order to be sure of world events and important changes, it is
necessary to go back at least 1000 years and prove up the cycles.
We find ample proof of the 1000-year cycle in the Bible:
"A little one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong nation; I
the Lord, will hasten it in his time."
Also "One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years
as one day."
Another evidence of the 1000-year cycle:
"And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil,
and Satan, and bound him a thousand years."
If we go back 1000 years, we can find ample proof of how history has been
repeating itself in the past few years. From about A.D. 916 to 923 Europe
went thru about the same conditions that prevailed 1000 years later or
around 1914 to 1920. During the first period referred to, Europe
experienced wars, panics and crop failures. History shows that in 916
agriculture in the British Isles was at its lowest ebb and that there was
great scarcity of wheat and corn. Very few people were engaged in tilling
the soil on account of wars. The same conditions prevailed 1000 years
later in 1916 and 1917, when this country was called on to furnish food
to starving Europe and send men and money to save their armies from
defeat. In 917, Constantinople was besieged by the Bulgarians and war
continued to 919. We know that war prevailed in Turkey and all over
Europe between 1914 and 1919. In 923 there was Civil War in France and
1000 years later, or in 1923, France again had her troubles and is still
having them. Another proof of the 1000- and 2000-year cycle is evidenced
by a lecture given by Prof. Hans Delbruck of the University of Berlin at
the University College of London, just before the outbreak of the World
War in 1914. He said:
"One of his first observations in comparing the phenomena of the history
of wars in the different ages was the likeness between the battles in
which the Swiss conquered Duke Charles the Bold, and the battles in which
the Greeks overcame the Persians. They had in an interval of 2000 years
exactly the same arms and the same political institutions fighting
against each other." What proof of the 100-year cycle do we get from 100
years ago of what has happened in the past few years?
In the United States, between 1814 and 1822, we had crop failures, war
and yellow fever, especially from 1819 to 1822. In 1821 Persia was
visited with Asiatic cholera. In 1823 cholera broke out in several ports
along the Mediterranean. During the same period, corresponding to 100
years ago, the United States had the terrible epidemic of influenza and
in Europe, Russia was visited with famine, cholera and all kinds of
diseases, killing millions. In 1822 there was a famine in Ireland and 100
years later they were winding up their troubles and trying to make
settlement and peace with England. In 1922 China and Russia were both
suffering from famines, another proof of the 100-year cycle. Some more
important evidence of this cycle is found by going back 100 years in
history, in which we find that in 1819 the first steamship crossed the
Atlantic Ocean. In 1919, 100 years later, the British dirigible R-34 made
a successful flight from Scotland to Mineola, Long Island.
Where do we find proof in the Bible that the great World War was coming?
The proof that it is possible to make predictions of wars, famines,
pestilences and general world events thousands of years in advance, is
plainly substantiated by the Bible. The great World War was prophesied in
the Book of Revelation.
What proof do we find in the Bible of what events or conditions will
follow wars? What does the Bible say of the great World War which St.
John the Divine foretold in the Book of Revelation?
"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and
there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers
places."
Again the Bible says: "Immediately after the tribulation of these days
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give light, and the
stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be
shaken."
Again, it says: "The Lord hath called for a famine; and it shall also
come upon the land seven years." And seven years from the close of the
World War, Europe had the terrible crop failures, strikes, business
depression and calamities, which occurred in 1923 to 1926.
Some evidence of long-range predictions which have been fulfilled, that
has attracted attention, appeared in
the New York American, January 29, 1922. The article refers to an amazing
prophecy of the twelfth century
made by Malachy, a priest, in A.D. 1139, in which he foretold accurately
the personality of the Papal succession
by means of mottoes and numbers. He foretold the long struggles which
Ireland would have to go thru
and the eventual peace, which has been recently signed.
His prophecy on the future Pope is No. 266. Fides Intrepida, which means
-- "Unwavering Faith, unshaken belief in the face of danger; unfaltering
devotion."
To those who understand numbers, "266" reveals some remarkable events
that are to follow the election of the new Pope. It shows that wars are
not yet over and that Europe will have troublesome conditions, and in
fact, the entire world must yet pass thru a very evil period between 1926
and 1932. It also confirms both the major and minor cycles which indicate
that the years 1928 and 1930 to 1932 are to be years of famine,
depressing business conditions and panic, not only in Europe, but in the
United States. The maximum evil of the great 1000-year cycle, which will
not be completed until 1932 to 1934, will bring serious troubles to the
United States. Another bad period for the United States will be 1940 to
1944.
The question arises: -- If we can know the future, is it of value to us?
It has been well said: "Forewarned is forearmed," but I prefer to look to
the Bible for authority and proof. When Pharaoh had his wonderful dream,
he went to Joseph to have it interpreted. Joseph said: "And the seven
thin and ill favored kine that came up after them are seven years; and
the seven empty years, blasted with the east wind, shall be seven years
of famine."
Listen to the advice Joseph gave him: "Let them gather all the food of
those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh,
and let them keep food in the cities. The people throughout the land
should take warning and prepare for the unfavorable years to follow."
The Bible is the BOOK of all books, and if we only study it and
understand it, we can gain a proper knowledge of all things. I believe it
the duty of any man who understands science and mathematics and the cycle
theory, and knows what is coming, to warn the people in order that they
may prepare for trouble ahead.
Many will scoff and laugh and refuse to believe until it is too late. The
Bible is full of references where God has given us signs by which we may
know what is coming, if we will only believe them. He says:“O, ye
hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky;but can ye not discern the
signs of the times?”
Again the Bible says:
"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament, of the heaven to
divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for
seasons, and for days, and years."
How few people are willing to study the Bible in order to understand the
signs and discern the future and profit by it.
