PROPHECY

"It's a bit hard of you to wish another war on us," I 
said to Crowley. 
"Oh, but if everyone will only do as I tell them to, " 
he replied, "the catastrophe can be averted. " 
Somehow I fear they won 't. 
"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." 
Then I issued a prospectus for the book , giving the facts as 
to previous publications and their results, and leaving blank a 
space after "The Fourth Publication" to wait the event. 
The First Publication 
nine months before the outbreak of the Balkan War, 
which broke up the Near East. 
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 . . .. Yet, even so, the 
intrinsic power of the truth of the Law and the impact 
of 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 Publication 
nine months before the outbreak of the World War, 
which broke up the West. 
The second blow was struck by the re-publication of 
the Book in September, 1913, and this time . .. caused 
a catastrophe to civilisation. At 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 . .. in perfect 
obedience 
to the 
instruction . . . 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.
