CENTURIA V · QUATRAIN XIX
The Brass Betrayal
Le grand Royal, d'or, d'airain augmente,
Rompu la pache, par jeune ouverte guerre:
Peuple afflige par un chef lamente,
De sang barbare sera couvert la terre.
The great Royal of gold, by brass augmented,
the pact broken, by the young war opened:
the people afflicted by a lamented chief,
with barbarous blood the earth will be covered.
THE MASTER SAYS…
He says that this quatrain relates to the time of the Antichrist. There will be great unrest due to economic difficulties, and he will be called the “golden royal, betrayed by copper.” He says that advisers will give unwise advice, and therefore the economic situation will be very unstable. This will allow the Antichrist to easily begin to shake the world — for his own benefit. That is what I thought when I said: “war begins with a young man.” “The people suffer from a lamented leader”? The leaders who will be in power at that time, the legitimately elected representatives of the people, will be weak, vacillating people. They will not have what is needed, and meanwhile the people will call for decisive action. This will be at the very beginning, when economic problems begin. That is exactly what he means when speaking of gold coins, symbolically designating coin? Yes. And about the economy as a whole. After waking, the following conversation took place: I saw that the government of the United States will not solve its deficit problem. Now it has gone out of control and will continue to grow. When it reaches a terrible finale, it will have a destabilizing effect on the whole world, which will make the Antichrist’s task easier. This is not surprising. It seems we are moving toward economic problems everywhere. Yes. And with the collapse of such a large government as the United States, you understand that this will have serious consequences. There will be other problems. But I think this is the main thing I remember, because I am an American, and this will affect me. Three years ago, when we started this project, we would not have thought that such a thing could actually happen. Now I am not so sure. It looks quite possible. And, as he said, threateningly close. Exactly. I have a feeling that when the government and the economy collapse, the US dollar will become like the German mark of the 1920s. It will become absolutely useless. Now this is my own hypothesis, but I think that if the US currency becomes practically useless, people will turn to other means of exchange. They may use various substances and items for barter, such as sacks of wheat and corn and the like as basic units of measurement. I am theorizing, but I dare to suggest that in some areas of the black market, substances such as marijuana will be used as an item of exchange instead of money.
