1Pagan darkness and gross superstitution held the sway, and reigned supreme, until the year A.D. 1263. The lowest point in the mental arc was reached, and Western nations were in the most dense condition. But a change was at hand, for the benevolent Zachariel, the genius of Jupiter, again resumed the management of the world, and reigned until the year A.D. 1572. This period is one of almost uniy Google LA CLEF 115 interrupted intellectual progress. During this Rule of Power, the despotic power of Rome received its death-blow. Parliaments were instituted for the people, the days of Good Queen Bess came to an end. Protestantism flourished, and so pre¬ pared the way for Free Thought. After the good reign to Zachariel, Samael, the Angel of Mars, came into power and reigned from the year A.D. 1572 to the year A.D. 1880 (until December 21st. 1880, when the Sun reached the Tropic of Capricorn. Michael began to reign on December 23rd.) This rule was the Age of Iron, and just as Rome conquered all before her over 2,000 years before, and achieved imperial greatness, so did Great Britain, the second Rome. It was again a period of war, mechanical inventions and martial glory, and, at times, the whole of Europe was one great battlefield, and resounded with the din of arms “and all the circumstances of war.” In the future this will be called the age of war-like inventions, and noted for its huge ironclads, great guns, and other fearful engines of destruction.
2Mars rules iron and all martial arts and sciences; hence the won¬ derful inventions of this age-period in steam engines, iron ships and elaborate machinery. At the end of the year A.D. 1880, the Great Archangel Michael comes into power and once more has the government of the world until the year A.D. 2188. This will be a period of Imperial Greatness. Empires will shine full of glory, the Human intellect will have full play and all Churches, Religious Creeds and Ecclesiastical Dogmas will fall to the ground and become things of the past. Parsons, Vicars and Bishops will have to work in different fields if they mean to ob¬ tain an honest livelihood. Yes, I repeat this prophecy. The Churches and Chapels will fall with a terrible crash, and be destroyed. But from their ashes, Phoenix-like, shall arise a new Religion, whose shining Motto will be; Veritas Excelsior, Truth Above. This era shall proclaim the rights of man. It is essentially the age of reason dreamed of by Bruno and Thomas Paine. During the reign of this Angelic In¬ telligence, the Masculine Element will receive the Solar influx and obtain its highest development. Intellect and Reason will remove most of our Social disorders and women receive more attention in worldly affairs; but at the same time, it is not a feminine period by any means. 116 THE LIGHT OF EGYPT
3Mankind under this rule, will become physically and intellec¬ tually immensely superior to what they are now. Startling discoveries in Chemistry, Electricity and all the physical sciences will be brought to light. Steam will be superseded by Compressed Air (gas), ElectroMagnetism (atomic power) as a motive power. In fact a new era of progress will dawn upon the world, as time and space will be an¬ nihilated by new transportation and communication; and, last, but not least. Science and Religion will become blended, spiritual intercourse an acknowledged fact, and Psychology the special study of the great¬ est Scientists of the day.
