PROPHECY

But now observe how the question of the Magical Link 
arises! No matter how mighty the truth of Thelema, it 
cannot prevail unless it is applied to and by mankind. As 
long as The Book of the Law was in Manuscript, it could 
only affect the small group amongst whom it was 
circulated. It had to be put into action by the Magical 
Observation of publishing it. When this was done, it was 
done without proper perfection . Its commands as to 
how the work ought to be done were not wholly 
obeyed. There were doubt and repugnance in FRA TER 
PERDURABO's mind, and they hampered His work. He 
was halfhearted. Yet, even so, the intrinsic power of the 
truth of the Law and the impact of the publication were 
sufficient to shake the world so that a critical war broke 
out, and the minds of men were moved in a mysterious 
manner . The second 
blow was struck 
by the 
re-publication of the Book in September 1913, and this 
time the might of this Magick burst out and caused a 
catastrophe to civilization. A t this hour, the Master 
THERION is concealed, collecting his forces for a final 
blow. When The Book of the Law and its Comment is 
published with the forces of His whole Will in perfect 
obedience to the instructions which have up to now 
been misunderstood or neglected, the result will be 
incalculably effective . The event will establish the 
kingdom of the Crowned and Conquering Child over the 
whole earth, and all men shall bow to the Law, which is 
"love under will. " 
This should be plain enough, and satisfactory. However, I 
thought it was time to draw public attention to these matters 
more emphatically. 
In fulfilment of my pledge given above, and of the 
instructions originally given to me by the Masters, I got out 
The Equinox of the Gods at 6:22 a.m., December 22,1937, 
e.v.; and·, to fulfil my condition No.1 (above) of a Prophecy,
