Civilization As We Know It
“The last
day of the Lord is near,” cried William Miller, self-proclaimed
prophet of the American sect of Millerites (Second Aventists) in
May 1844. Issuing the “midnight cry,” Miller felt the crowning
crisis of the ages at hand. He even gave “the last day” a date:
October 23 of that year. But when that dreaded day arrived, and the
next and the next and the Millerites bewailed--still in the cold
world!
Oh well, end
times, if nothing else, are good box office and grist for the mill
among cults of despair, perhaps represented today by such groups as
Aum Shirin Kyo, the terrorist Buddhist sect that released the
lethal chemical sarin on the Tokyo subways in 1995. Those fanatics
embraced the apocalyptic notion that the world would end sometime
between 1997 and 2000.
But it
didn’t. It just kept on spinning, spinning. . . . Actually our
world is not scheduled to expire for quite some time (see chapter
4). And there is considerable difference between the end of
a civilization and
the end of the world (i.e.,
the planet). If we can move on from attention-grabbing hysterics,
paranoia, and the misguided calculations of overwrought end-time
soothsayers, the only remaining danger is the end of civilization
as we know it.
A Book of Prophecy: Oahspe
The stage is being set for the next cosmological revolution in our
way of thinking . . . reawakening interest in the relation of man
to the Universe as a whole . . . the new Cosmology may come to
affect the whole organization of society.
--Astronomer
Fred Hoyle
Give ear, O earth, and be attentive to the words of your God. . . .
The time shall surely come when all things shall be revealed to the
inhabitants of the earth. . . . The multitude of my Kingdoms shall
be opened up to your understanding.
--Oahspe
Of course,
Hoyle’s prediction will come to pass! But first we need to come to
terms with who we are and what we
are.
In search of
prophecy for the third millennium, I began to see two different
meanings for the word prophet. On the one
hand, the term signifies someone who is able to divine the shape of
things to come, like a soothsayer of old or today’s clairvoyant who
unexpectedly “sees” what has not yet come to pass, but
will.
Yet we have
also long used the word prophet simply
to denote the wise men or sages of their time, whose genius is not
necessarily in predicting anything but merely in interpreting
(correctly) the currents of their day. They are, in a word, the
mouthpieces of the times. The enlightened ones. Examples from our
modern era include President Abraham Lincoln, Mohandas Gandhi, and
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr.
In these
pages, we will dip in to both kinds of prophecy: the future kind
and the wisdom kind. In a way, they are inseparable. Trekking
across this howling wilderness called prophecy, exhausted and
discouraged by the number of detours set up by false teachings, I
often lean on the staff of knowledge embodied in the Oahspe
bible.
Oahspe
offers a new source of information
that we
can work with deeply
embedded in its copious verses, for it reveals the lost science of
numbers and how to become a prophet oneself. Breaking the silence
of the taciturn Faithist community (“Faithist” being the group name
for those, past and present, who worship the Great Spirit and
practice His commands), I now present the Tables of Prophecy, used
in antiquity by priests and mathematicians for the benefit of the
commonwealth and revealed for modern times within the pages of
Oahspe. This system is mathematical, numerical, and historical.
Based on the primary unit of eleven years (an “ode”), these Winter
Tables, as they were called, contained all the “prophetic numbers”
needed to see--and head off--coming events and disasters. What
impresses me most is that this kind of prophecy is
amethod. It is not
psychic foreseeing; it is not any of the “psychomancies” that seek
the future in the random toss of pieces or parts; it is not random
at all. It is amethod, based
simply on a science of numbers and
cycles.
Indeed, all
of this is a lost science, yet much of it can be recovered. For the
interested reader who would like to become a prophet, this book
teaches you how to prophesy by applying the prophetic number 11 and
its key multiples: 22, 33, 66, 99, 121, and 363. But it is not just
prophetic numbers that we are putting to work. This is the only
system of prophecy (besides that of the Mayas) that
uses history, that uses
the past to foretell that which has yet to
unfold.
The late
Wing Anderson, publisher of the Oahspe bible from 1935 to 1955,
grappled with the prophetic numbers and predicted various outcomes
for our war-torn world. Wing once described Oahspe as giving not
only a “history of the rise and fall of races from the beginning of
the world to the present, but [also] predicting the final outcome
of things in general and of many lesser situations in particular. .
. . It is in this miraculous book that we find the explanation of
what is occurring throughout the world . . . when the institutions
of the old 3,000 year cycle, which ended in 1848, are destroyed to
make way for those of the Kosmon Age.” To the alarmist who thinks
that prophecy must state we will end in a blazing apocalypse,
Anderson, always gallant, did say, “This is not the end. It is only
the beginning.” The facts are straightforward, he said. “A new
world is in the making. The institutions that grew up in the three
thousand year cycle that ended in 1848 have played their parts in
the evolution of mankind. It is now time for their
exit.”
