The tunnel thru the air : $b or, Looking back from 1940
Gann, William D. (William Delbert)
Imaginary wars and battles -- Fiction; Science fiction
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm, for love
is strong as death; jealousy as cruel as the grave; the coals thereof
are coals of fire which have a most vehement flame.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it; if
a man would give all the substance of his house for love, he would
utterly be condemned.
Robert realized that nothing could quench his love and that Marie was
the only remedy for his aching heart.
Turning to Daniel 9:21, he read:
Yea while I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel whom I had
seen in the vision at the beginning being caused to fly swiftly,
touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
Robert knew that this indicated that people did fly in the older days,
and that we were now only repeating past cycles. He read Chapter 12:4th
verse:
Let thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book even to the
time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be
increased.
Robert thought that we were now nearing the time of the end because man
was running to and fro in fast automobiles and traveling swiftly thru
the air in airplanes; that new discoveries were being made and that
knowledge was increasing. He must hasten his new invention. He read the
12th verse:
Blesseth is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred
and five and thirty days.
Robert believed that he understood the cycle and knew the number
of years, months and days referred to in Daniel's prophecies.
Calculated that from March, 1931, until the end of June, 1932, would
be troublesome times for the United States. Depression, war and panic
would hang over the destinies of his country. Robert had gone deeply
into the Bible study in order to learn more about the great science of
Astrology. From the Bible he interpreted that he belonged to the tribe
of Issachar, the fifth son of Jacob and that this name indicated price,
reward, recompense. He understood from this that he would have to pay
the price, but he would receive the reward for his faithfulness and
devotion to Marie.
Robert turned to Genesis, Chapter 30, 17th and 18th verses:
And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob, the
fifth son, and Leah said God hath given me my hire, because I have
given my maiden to my husband; and she called his name Issachar.
He read Genesis 49:14 and 15, where Jacob blessed his 12 sons:
Issachar is a strong ass, couching down between two burdens and he saw
that the rest was good and the land, that it was pleasant; and bowed
his shoulders to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
