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 like.
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 the 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.
