Man’s Destiny
Our previous chapter dealt entirely with evidence of the last cataclysm which occurred roughly 12,000 years ago. We have shown you scientific proof in the chapters on magnetism and astronomy that this cataclysm occurred roughly 12,000 years ago. The next logical question is, will it happen again and why?
The question is easy to answer, since the reversal is a function of the information that makes up existence; it must happen again. As we mentioned in Chapter Three, there is evidence that the magnetic reversals have occurred for at least the last billion years. In actuality, they have occurred since the dawn of time. At this point we would like to make an important analogy. If you have been observant in life, you should have noticed that there are always trade-offs for anything we do. For instance, electrical engineers can build sensitive voltmeters to detect very small voltages; but you cannot incorporate in the same equipment the ability to accurately measure very high voltages; therefore, you must construct another instrument to detect the high voltages. The same could be said for the sun. If that 12,000-year synchronizing frequency was not present in our existence, the sun might be un-
421
stable all the time, thereby making it extremely difficult for life forms to exist on the planet. Instead we have a star that is stable most of the time except for a brief eruptive period.
So now the question is not; will it happen again, but; when will it happen again? What signs should we look for to help calculate the time of the reversal? In the following we will cover five ways of helping us to determine when the reversal will occur. The first three are of traditional scientifically oriented methods of calculating the reversal. In the astronomy chapter we theorized that before the sun novas, we would expect to see a slight expansion of the sun. Eventually, the expansion would be great enough that total darkness would no longer occur during a solar eclipse. We theorized in the magnetism chapter two important observations that could be made on the earth. One, that there would be a steep increase in the number of earthquakes; also, land masses would begin to rise and fall. Two, and the most important observation, the magnetic field of the earth would begin to decay more rapidly than in past years.
The two untraditional ways we will also use to help us tell when the reversal will occur is from the prophecies of well-known psychics and, of course, the prophecies of the Bible.
SCIENTIFIC DETERMINATION OF
THE REVERSAL
Solar Expansion
In Chapter Six we theorized that the sun is really a huge gas shell surrounding a high-potential modulation point. As the potential in the center of the sun increases, the gas shell should expand. Slight expansions in the sun’s diameter would be very difficult for any telescope to detect, but an increase or decrease in the rotation should not be difficult to accurately measure. Per our theory, the rotation of a planet or star is caused by its magnetic field being directed toward its time and space. The problem with applying this general statement to a star is that a star has a much more complex magnetic field than does a planet. Our sun appears to have at least three controlling frequencies which cause the 11- and 22-year sun spot cycles and, of course, the longer 12,000 year cycle. For instance, an analysis of the latest data of the solar rotation between
422
the years 1967 and 1976 seems to indicate that the 22-year cycle has an effect on our sun’s rotation. At the Tower Telescope at Mount Wilson, California, they have been observing the sun’s rotation rate for the last decade. They have recorded a general rotational increase of the sun’s photosphere along the equatorial region. Most of the solar activity in the past few years has been observed approximately 10’ ± of the equator. The rotation rate increased by about five percent over this period of observation. (6-pLl6l) For the first seven months of 1977, the rotation rate of the sun began to decrease again. (14) This decreasing solar rotation would seem to indicate that the mid-point of the 22-year sun spot cycle has been reached and that the sun’s rotation will continue to decrease for another 11 years. Figure 12.1 illustrates what this cycle might graphically look like. The graph only illustrates the solar rotation if the dominant 12,000-year cycle drops off relatively slowly. If the decay in the dominant magnetic field drops off exponentially, there should not be another increase in the solar rotation rate after approximately 1992. In general we would expect to see a continuous increase in the sun’s potential and a decrease in the solar rotation until the time of the nova.

Earthquakes
The reason more earthquakes would be present at this particular time is due to the magnetic field collapsing. The resulting potential
423
produced by the collapsing field is converted into a higher temperature of the magma which melts away at the earth’s crust. The magma gets closer to the surface of the earth, thus loosening the continental plates; thereby, enabling them to move more freely on an “ocean” of hot, molten magma.
The U.S. Geological Survey has been keeping records of worldwide earthquakes since before 1897. It wasn’t until the late 1920s that some kind of network of seismographs were in use around the world to accurately record earthquakes.
Per our theory, we would expect to see a general increase in the number of earthquakes over a period of time. For our data we used the information provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. We counted only earthquakes with magnitudes greater than six on the richter scale.
These earthquakes are considered great earthquakes and have the capability of destroying property and causing loss of life. Our sample covered from the year 1920 to June of 1976. Table I shows a list of the number of earthquakes over six that occurred each year. We noticed that there was a definite correlation between the sun-spot cycle and a rapid increase in earthquakes. This increase usually occurred from one to three years after sun-spot maximum. This would seem to indicate that just as there is a synchronizing frequency that increases the potential of the sun every 11 or 22 years, there is also the same cycle that increases the potential in the center of the earth; but it takes one to three years for this increased potential to be translated into increased earth movement. The average number of great earthquakes per year that occurred between 1920 and 1929 was 60. The period of 1930-1949 saw an average of 105 major earthquakes per year; but when we compared the 20-year period of 1950-1969, it had increased to almost 130 major earthquakes per year. This is a 23 percent increase over the previous 20-year period. It is yet unknown what the frequency of major earthquakes will be for the 20 years following 1970; but considering the fact that in 1976 alone, over 760,000 people died in major earthquakes throughout the world, the next 20 years will most likely be much worse than any previous period. Table 11 lists all recorded earthquakes from 1932 to 1974. You will notice when you compare the first ten-year period (1932-1941) with the last ten-year period (1965-1974), there was a 782 percent increase in the number of earthquakes. (13)
424
Our theory seems to be supported by the data. There is an increase in the number of earthquakes that have occurred over a long period of time. The number of earthquakes should continue to increase until several years after the reversal.

The third factor we would look for, before the reversal, is an increase in the decay of the magnetic field of the earth. The magnetic field of the earth is measured in gammas. Each gamma is equal to 1/100,000th of a gauss. It has been estimated that approximately 2,000 years ago, the earth’s magnetic field was approximately 45,000 gammas, measured at the equator. The present equatorial value is about 30,000 gammas. Prior to 1955 it had been estimated that the annual decay in the magnetic field was 15 gammas per year. This value increased to 20 gammas per year for the 10 years covering 1955-1965. Between 1966-1970 the rate of decay further increased to 24 gammas per year. (3) The period

between 1970-1975 the rate of decay was estimated to have increased to 26.6 gammas per year. With just the rates of decay up to 1970, it has been calculated that the reversal time would be approximately 3,000 A.D.; (3) but as mentioned in Chapters Three and Six, everything in the universe that has to do with the decay of information fits an exponential function curve, which means that as the time grows closer to the reversal period, the rate of decay increases sharply. If this is taken into consideration, the reversal could occur within 100 years. Since the earth’s rotation rate is directly related to its magnetic field, we would expect to see the rotation rate decreasing as the magnetic field collapses. A Rand Corporation report of 1968 stated that the earth’s rate of rotation has decreased since 1961. (12)
Considering all of this evidence, is there any doubt where all this is leading?
NON-TRADITIONAL METHODS OF DETERMINING THE REVERSAL
What we will first investigate are the predictions made by wellknown, proven psychics. The first psychic we will cover is Nostradamus who lived in the mid-1500s. He was a well-known psychic with a high percentage of accurate predictions. He foretold the downfall of our current civilization. The downfall would be ushered in with great earthquakes and eclipses of the sun. Nostradamus implied that these events would occur around the 1990s. He says: “There will take place in the month of October a great translation made so that the earth will seem to lose the weight of its natural motion (a greatly slowed rotation rate) in an abyss of endless darkness. There will be premonitory signs in the spring, and there will be extreme changes, overthrows of kingdoms, and earthquakes.” (4-p4l4)
“The air will be very dry and there will be a long trajection, Through incendiarism a great locality will be consumed by fire,
There will be little rain, with wind, heat, wars and incursions.” (4-p4l5)
“Almost all of Europe and the whole world will be tormented. The two eclipses will put men to such pursuit (building shelters).” (4-p4l8)
428
“In the place where the Almighty has built His ship (Rome)
The deluge will be so great and so sudden
That there will be no spot of earth for a firm foothold.
The wave will cover the Olympus of Fiesole (Apennine Mountains).” (4-p4l9)
“The great round mountain of the seven hills (Rome),
After it has gone through peace, war, famine and inundation, Will tumble far, sending the great country into the abyss, Even its antiquities will be lost and its great foundation.” (4-p4l9)
“You will see, early and late, great changes take place,
Extremes of horror and prosecutions
As if the Moon were guided by its spirit,
The heavens approach the time of their tilting (polar reversal?).” (4-p4l9)
“The Moon obscured in profound darkness,
Her brother (the Sun) will become the color of rust (red), The great one hidden for a long time in darkness Will turn the sword in the bloody wound.” (4-p420)
“For forty years the rainbow shall not appear.
For forty years all the days shall behold
A barren earth and increasing scarcity,
And great deluges will be perceived.”
(4-p420)
If we consider the fact that Nostradamus made these predictions over 400 years ago, it is truly amazing how accurately he is describing the cataclysm. The best we can tell, he places this cataclysm somewhere around the year, 2,000 A.D.
A more recent 20th century psychic by the name of Edgar Cayce also told us of great earth movements and floods. He predicted that the cycle would start around 1958 and continue for roughly 40 years. He predicted that we would definitely know the cycle had begun if there were great earth movements in the SouthPacific area. We checked his prediction with the frequency of major earthquakes around the world. We wanted to see if the percentage of earthquakes occurring in the South-Pacific area prior to
429
1958, had increased by any appreciable amount. The table below lists five-year periods starting from 1955.
1955-59 = 16% of the worlds great earthquakes 1960-64 = 22%
1965-69 = 28%
1970-75 = 45% (13)
The percentage of major earthquakes occurring in the SouthPacific area has increased disproportionately over time. We would conclude that this part of Cayce’s prediction is correct. This should be considered amazing, since he made this prediction in 1932. He said: “When there is the first breaking up of some conditions in the South Sea and those as apparent in the sinking or rising of that that’s almost opposite same, or in the Mediterranean, and the Etna area, then we may know it has begun.” (9-p39)
During the latter half of this 40-year period, we would expect to see an increase in great earth movements and other disasters, including an increase in volcanic activity. (8-p58) He predicted that at the end of this 40-year period, there will be a shifting of the poles and then a new cycle will begin. He placed the date for this event to be between the years, 2,000 and 2,001. (9-p45)
The Hopi Indians have prophecies that date back many hundreds of years, certainly well before space travel; but as you read the following Hopi prophecy, you will see clear reference to a manned space station as being a sign to the Indians that the end is near.
“We know that the time is getting close because every Hopi prophecy of warning but one has been fulfilled. The only thing that’s left is the fulfillment of a huge house that carries many people that will be floating in the sky. This will be the last thing that mankind is allowed to do. If mankind goes that far, it will completely destroy Nature unless it is stopped.” (10)
Some people may say that the prophecies of psychics are not worth paying attention to: yet these cynics have no explanation as to why some of these predictions are coming true. In Chapter Eight we theorized two possible ways that psychics could perceive future events. We will not attempt to explain why the Hopi prophecies or Nostradamus and Cayce have correctly foretold the
430
future, because we don’t know who is telling them this information, nor the method they are using to foretell the future.
We will now turn to the prophecies of the Old Testament. It is generally accepted that the prophecies stated in the Bible are divinely inspired; and, therefore, are true foretellings of the future. We would agree with this premise wholeheartedly, even though, we would clarify the idea of a divine or godly being, as really being prophecy from highly evolved and advanced beings, most probably from another dimension.
We believe no one has ever really understood what the purpose of the Bible actually is. Many religious groups take the Bible as being the only book worth reading and studying. This is a very big mistake. The Bible is like an IQ test. It doesn’t tell us what man is supposed to evolve to. It merely tells us the consequences, if he does not evolve to what he is supposed to. There is a great deal of truth to be learned from the Bible; but to truly understand man’s relationship to God and what man is supposed to evolve to, he must strive to understand what existence is; and to do that, he must have a scientific orientation. To understand what God is and the universe, we must study and understand its related components; therefore, to just study one book or one subject will never lead us to what existence is. We have to be somewhat versed in almost every field of science and other scholarly subjects.
As we go through the prophecies of the Old and New Testament, we see very clear reference to the cataclysm. In fact, we see no other cause for the destructions described in the Bible other than the cataclysm, which we theorize occur during the reversal period.
From Deuteronomy we read what will befall the people of the earth if they do not follow the laws that God gave them and do what they are supposed to do.
“The Lord will smite thee with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with fiery heat, and with drought, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish. And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. The Lord will make the rain of thy land powder and
431
dust; from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.”
(Deut. 28:22-24)
What we believe is meant by “the heavens will look like brass,”is an attempt to tell us that the sky will turn red with the heat of the expanding hot gases from the sun. The meaning of the phrase, “the earth that is under thee shall be iron,” is when the earth is melted to glass or shale, it will have a hardness of 5.5. The same as the hardness for iron. In other words, Moses is telling us that after the earth is baked by the sun, the earth will be as hard as iron.
From the prophet, Isaiah, we see many distinct references to the cataclysm that will occur at the end of days.
“But the destruction of the transgressors and the sinners shall be together,
And they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
And they shall both burn together,
And none shall quench them.”
(Isaiah 1:28-31)
“For, behold, the Lord will come in fire,
And His chariots shall be like the whirlwind;
To render His anger with fury,
And His rebuke with flames of fire.
For by fire will the Lord contend,
And by His sword with all flesh;
And the slain of the Lord shall be many.”
(Isaiah 66:15-16)
“For the Lord of hosts hath a day
Upon all that is proud and lofty,
And upon all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low;”
(Isaiah 2:12)
I “And the idols shall utterly pass away.
And men shall go into the caves of the rocks,
And into the holes of the earth,
From before the terror of the Lord,
And from the glory of His majesty,
When He ariseth to shake mightily the earth. (earthquakes)
In that day a man shall cast away
His idols of silver, and his idols of gold,
Which they made for themselves to worship,
432
To the moles and to the bats;
To go into the clefts of the rocks,
And into the crevices of the crags,
From before the terror of the Lord,
And from the glory of His majesty,
When He ariseth to shake mightily the earth.” (Isaiah 2:18-21)
“For wickedness burneth as the fire;
It devoureth the briers and thorns;
Yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest,
And they roll upward in thick clouds of smoke.
Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land burnt up. The people also are as the fuel of fire;” (Isaiah 9:17-18)
“Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand;
As destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
Therefore shall all hands be slack,
And every heart of man shall melt.
And they shall be affrighted;
Pangs and throes shall take hold of them;
They shall be in pain as a woman in travail;
They shall look aghast one at another;
Their faces shall be faces of flame.
Behold, the day of the Lord cometh,
Cruel, and full of wrath and flerce anger;
To make the earth a desolation,
And to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof Shall not give their light;
The sun shall be darkened in his going forth,
And the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
And I will visit upon the world their evil,
And upon the wicked their iniquity;
And I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease,
And will lay low the haughtiness of the tyrants.
I will make man more rare than fine gold,
Even man that the pure gold of Ophir.
Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble,
And the earth shall be shaken out of her place,
For the wrath of the Lord of hosts,
433
And for the day of His fierce anger.” (Isaiah 13:6-13)
“And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the terror shall fall into the pit;
And he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the trap;
For the windows on high are opened,
And the foundations of the earth do shake; The earth is broken, broken down,
The earth is crumbled in pieces,
The earth trembleth and tottereth;
The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunken man, And swayeth to and fro as a lodge;” (Isaiah 24:18-20)
“But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust,
And the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away;
Yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly
There shall be a visitation from the Lord of hosts
With thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise,
With whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.”
(Isaiah 29:5-6)
These previous quotations leave no doubt that it is the sun that destroys a good part of the earth at the same time the earthquakes, lightning, and wind also ravage the earth. The following quotation clearly tells us that the oceans will cover the mountains. It is also attempting to give us a description of what the sun will look like when it novas:
“And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill, Streams and watercourses,
In the day of the great slaughter when the towers fall.
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, (as the surface melts)
And the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of the seven days.” (Isaiah 30:25-26)
“Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far,
With His anger burning, and in thick uplifting of smoke;
His lips are full of indignation,
And His tongue is as a devouring fire;
And His breath is an overflowing stream (the deluge from the oceans).” (Isaiah 30:27-28)
434
“And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime;
As thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.”
(Isaiah 33:12)
“For the Lord hath indignation against all the nations,
And fury against all their host;
He hath utterly destroyed them,
He hath delivered them to the slaughter.
Their slain also shall be cast out,
And the stench of their carcasses shall come up,
And the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
And all the host of heaven shall moulder away,
And the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll;
And all their host shall fall down,
As the leaf falleth off from the vine,
And as a falling fig from the figtree.”
(Isaiah 34:2-4)
“For the Lord hath a day of vengeance,
A year of recompense for the controversy of Zion.
And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch,
And the dust thereof into brimstone,
And the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
It shall not be quenched night nor day,
The smoke thereof shall go up for ever;
From generation to generation it shall lie waste:
None shall pass through it for ever and ever.”
(Isaiah 34:8-10)
“Every valley shall be lifted up,
And every mountain and hill shall be made low;
And the rugged shall be made level,
And the rough places a plain;
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,
And all flesh shall see it together;
For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.”
(Isaiah 40:4-5)
“Behold, they shall be as stubble;
The fire shall bum them;
They shall not deliver themselves
From the power of the flame;
It shall not be a coal to warm at,
Nor a fire to sit before.
Thus shall they be unto thee
435
With whom thou hast laboured;
They that have trafficked with thee from thy youth.”
(Isaiah 47:14-15)
In the next quotation from Isaiah, we see a veiled reference that the flood will come from the west. This is just as we theorized.
“So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west,
And His glory from the rising of the sun;
For distress will come in like a flood,
Which the breath of the Lord driveth.”
(Isaiah 59:19)
It is not enough to say that by some miraculous means God is going to burn all those that have not evolved. We must logically ask ourselves: What means would be necessary in order for so many people to perish by fire? The only answer we can see is if the sun novaed. From the Book of Jeremiah, he tells us of seeing a vision of the earth in the latter days. By his description we can only conclude it is after the cataclysm; for that is the only cause of the destruction that Jeremiah saw on the earth:
“I beheld the earth,
And, lo, it was waste and void;
And the heavens, and they had no light.
I beheld the mountains, and, to, they trembled,
And all the hills moved to and fro.
I beheld, and, lo, there was no man,
And all the birds of the heavens were fled.
I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful field was a wilderness,
And all the cities thereof were broken down
At the presence of the Lord,
And before His fierce anger.
For thus saith the Lord:
The whole land shall be desolate;
Yet will I not make a full end.
For this shall the earth mourn,
And the heavens above be black;
Because I have spoken it, I have purposed it,
And I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it.”
(Jeremiah 4:23-28)
436
From the Book of Joel, we read of an account of what the Day of Judgment looks like.
“Blow ye the horn in Zion,
And sound an alarm in My holy mountain;
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble;
For the day of the Lord cometh,
For it is at hand;
A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
As blackness spread upon the mountains;”
(Joel 2:1-2)
“A fire devoureth before them,
And behind them a flame blazeth;
The land is as the garden of Eden before them
And behind them a desolate wilderness;
Yea, and nothing escapeth them
(Joel 2:3)
“Before them the earth quaketh.
The heavens tremble;
The sun and the moon are become black,
And the stars withdraw their shining.
And the Lord uttereth His voice before His army; (a great noise is heard)”
(Joel 2:10-11)
“In those days will I pour out My spirit.
And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth,
Blood, and Fire, and pillars of smoke.
The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the great and terrible day of the Lord came.”
(Joel 3:2-4)
From Joel we can see clear reference that the sun novas and bakes a part of the earth. The resulting nova causes red dust to settle on the earth and have the appearance of blood.
We see a similar account of the Day of Judgment from the Book of Amos.
“Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord!
Wherefore would ye have the day of the Lord?
437
It is darkness, and not light.
As if a man did flee from a lion,
And a bear met him;
And went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall,
And a serpent bit him.
Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light?
Even very dark, and no brightness in it?”
(Amos 5:18-20)
“And darkeneth the day into night;
That calleth for the waters of the sea,
And poureth them out upon the face of the earth;
The Lord is His name;
That causeth destruction to flash upon the strong
So that destruction cometh upon the fortress.”
(Amos 5:8-9)
From Amos we see clear reference to the oceans of the world inundating the land. This is caused when the earth’s rotation ceases during the reversal period.
From the Book of Micah, we read:
“For, behold, the Lord cometh forth out of His place,
And will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
And the mountains shall be molten under Him,
And the valleys shall be cleft,
As wax before the fire,
As waters that are poured down a steep place.”
(Micah 1:3-4)
Zephaniah was also given a vision of the cataclysm. He was told by the Lord:
“I will utterly consume all things
From off the face of the earth,
Saith the Lord.
I will consume man and beast,
I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea,
And the stumbling blocks with the wicked;
And I will cut off man from off the face of the earth,
Saith the Lord.”
(Zephaniah 1:2-3)
438
“The great day of the Lord is near,
It is near and hasteth greatly,
Even the voice of the day of the Lord,
Wherein the mighty man crieth bitterly.
That day is a day of wrath,
A day of trouble and distress,
A day of wasteness and desolation,
A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness.”
(Zephaniah 1:14-15)
“And I will bring distress upon men,
That they shall walk like the blind,
Because they have sinned against the Lord;
And their blood shall be poured out as dust,
And their flesh as dung.
Neither their silver nor their gold
Shall be able to deliver them
In the day of the Lord’s wrath;
But the whole earth shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy;
For He will make an end, yea, a terrible end,
Of all them that dwell in the earth.”
(Zephaniah 1:17-18)
The fourth Book of Esdras was written roughly 556 B.C. It is one of the books of the Apocrypha. As the story goes, Esdras saw a vision of an angel. Over a period of several months, Esdras was able to ask this heavenly emissary questions about the latter days. We will quote just a few of them. We see clear reference to the cataclysm which we have described in our theory. In this first passage, Esdras asked the angel to show him a glimpse of what God’s Judgment on the earth will look like. The angel told Esdras the following:
“So I stood, and saw, and, behold, a hot burning oven passed by before me: and it happened, that when the flame was gone by I looked, and, behold, the smoke remained still.
After this there passed by before me a watery cloud, and sent down much rain with a storm; and when the stormy rain was past, the drops remained therein still.”
(Esdras IV:48-49)
439
Then Esdras asked the angel if he could see the last night just before God’s Judgment Day.
“So he answered and said unto me, Stand up upon thy feet, and thou shalt hear a mighty sounding voice; and if the place whereon thou standest be greatly moved, when it speaketh be not thou afraid: for the word is of the end, and the foundations of the earth shall understand, that the speech is of them: they shall tremble and be moved: for they know that their end must be changed.
And it happened, that when I had heard it I stood up upon my feet, and hearkened, and, behold, there was a voice that spoke, and the sound of it was like the sound of many waters. And it said, Behold, the days come, and it shall be that when I draw nigh to visit them that dwell upon the earth.”
(Esdras VI:13-18)
“And there shall be fearfulness and great trembling upon earth: and they that see that wrath shall be afraid, and trembling shall take hold upon them.
And after this shall there be stirred up great storms from the south, and from the north, and another part from the west.
And strong winds shall arise from the east, and shall shut it up, even the cloud which he raised in wrath; and the star that was to cause destruction by the east wind shall be violently driven toward the south and west. And great clouds and mighty and full of wrath shall be lifted up, and the star (the sun) that they may destroy all the earth, and them that dwell therein; and they shall pour out over every high and eminent one a terrible star, fire, and hail, and flying swords (lightning), and many waters, that all plains may be full, and all rivers, with the abundance of those waters. And they shall break down the cities and walls, mountains and hills, trees of the wood, and grass of the meadows, and their corn.”
(Esdras XV:37-42)
Esdras asked the angel if what he had seen means that the world and all men on it were to come to an end because of man’s iniquity. In his answer you will see the angel implying that there are cycles to our existence and that the ends of each of these cycles are separated by these cataclysms.
“He answered me, and said, This present world is not the end; the full glory abideth not therein: therefore have they wh
