Prophesy of the new age
“At the end of the age, monarchs will be contemporary, reigning over the earth
Rulers of churlish spirit, violent temper and ever addicted to falsehood and wickedness.
They will inflict death on women, children and any other life
They will seize upon property
They will have limited power and will for the most part rapidly rise and fall
Their lives will be short
Their desires insatiable
They will display but little piety
Wealth and piety will decrease day by day until the world will be wholly depraved
Then property alone will confer rank
Wealth will be the only source of devotion
Passion will be the soul bond of union in marriage
Falsehood will be the means of success in litigation
Women will be objects of only sensual gratification
The earth will be venerated for its mineral treasures
A priestly thread will constitute a priest and dishonesty will be the universal means of subsistence
Weakness will be the cause of dependance
Menace and presumption will be substituted as learning
Liberality will be devotion
Simple absolution will be purification
Mutual consent will be marriage
Fine cloths will be dignity
Water afar off will be esteemed a holy spring
Those who are strongest will reign
The people unable to bear the heavy burdens imposed on them will take refuge among the mountains and will be glad to feed on wild honey, herbs, roots, fruits, flowers and leaves
No ones life will exceed twenty three years
Thus in the Kali, age shall decay constantly
Until the race of mankind approaches its annihilation
A portent of that divine being, who exists of it own spiritual nature and who is the beginning and the end, shall descend upon the earth and be born and endowed with eight superhuman abilities
Those who are thus changed by virtue at that particular time shall be as the seeds of human beings and shall give birth to a race who shall follow the laws of the Krita age or the age of purity
When the sun and moon and the lunar asterism Tisha and the planet Jupiter are in one mansion, the Krita age shall return”
…to once again perpetuate a species??
What has changed?
The cycle only continues…
