I. Come behold the Workes of the Lord
(46th Psalm, King James Bible, 1611)
433745
It would be pleasant to think that Shakespeare was responsible, in part, for the majesty of the following [original 1611 spelling and Saga Cipher Values inserted]:
46:1
27783 = God is our refuge and strength; a very present helpe in trouble.
46:2
25140 = Therfore will not we feare, though the earth be removed:
25186 = and though the mountaines be caried into the midst of the sea,
46:3
21736 = Though the waters thereof roare, and be troubled,
29088 = though the mountaines shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
46:4
7214 = There is a river,
21306 = the streames wherof shall make glad the citie of God:
19776 = the holy place of the Tabernacles of the most High.
46:5
18882 = God is in the midst of her: she shal not be moved:
15090 = God shall helpe her, and that right early.
46:6
17597 = The heathen raged, the kingdomes were moved:
15907 = he uttered his voyce, the earth melted.
46:7
15221 = The Lord of hosts is with us,
14069 = the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
46:8
15149 = Come, behold the Workes of the Lord,
17919 = what desolations hee hath made in the earth.
46:9
21932 = He maketh warres to cease unto the end of the earth:
23023 = hee breaketh the bow, and cutteth the speare in sunder,
14120 = he burneth the chariot in the fire.
46:10
12080 = Be stil, and know that I am God:
13996 = I will bee exalted among the heathen,
12241 = I will be exalted in the earth.
46:11
15221 = The Lord of hosts is with us,
14069 = the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
433745
Whether he had anything to do with it or not, he is in it. It is the forty-sixth Psalm. The forty-sixth word from the beginning is SHAKE, and the forty-sixth word from the end, if we leave out the cadential ‘Selah’, is SPEAR[E]. And, in 1610, Shakespeare was forty-six years old. If this is mere chance, fancy must allow us to think that it is happy chance. The greatest prose-work of all time has the name of the greatest poet set cunningly in it.“ (Anthony Burgess, Shakespeare, Penguin Books, 1972, pp. 233-234)

Abomination of Desolation
Message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:
While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might possibly “mean“.
I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.
I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.
An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

¹Gen. 28:17.
Latin: pavensque quam terribilis inquit est locus iste non est hic aliud nisi domus Dei et porta caeli.
English: And he [Jacob] was afraid and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and the gate of heaven
²(Internet): Gangleri began his questioning thus: „Who is foremost, or oldest, of all the gods?“ Hárr answered: „He is called in our speech Allfather, but in the Elder Ásgard he had twelve names: one is Allfather; the second is Lord, or Lord of Hosts; the third is Nikarr, or Spear-Lord; the fourth is Nikudr, or Striker; the fifth is Knower of Many Things; the sixth, Fulfiller of Wishes; the seventh, Far-Speaking One; the eighth, The Shaker, or He that Putteth the Armies to Flight; the ninth, The Burner; the tenth, The Destroyer; the eleventh, The Protector; the twelfth, Gelding.“
Then asked Gangleri: „Where is this god, or what power hath he, or what hath he wrought that is a glorious deed?“ Hárr made answer: „He lives throughout all ages and governs all his realm, and directs all things, great and small.“ Then said Jafnhárr: „He fashioned heaven and earth and air, and all things which are in them.“ Then. spake Thridi: „The greatest of all is this: that he made man, and gave him the spirit, which shall live and never perish, though the flesh-frame rot to mould, or burn to ashes; and all men shall live, such as are just in action, and be with himself in the place called Gimlé. But evil men go to Hel and thence down to the Misty Hel; and that is down in the ninth world.“ Then said Gangleri: „What did he before heaven and earth were made?“ And Hárr answered: „He was then with the Frost-Giants.“
³ I have created a monument more lasting than bronze and loftier than the royal pyramids, a monument which neither the biting rain nor the raging North Wind can destroy, nor can the countless years and the passing of the seasons.
I will not entirely die and a great part of me will avoid Libitina, the goddess of Death; I will grow greater and greater in times to come, kept fresh by praise.
So long as the high priest climbs the stairs of the Capitolium, accompanied by the silent Vestal Virgin, I, now powerful but from humble origins, will be said to be the first to have brought Aeolian song to Latin meter where the raging Aufidius roars and where parched Daunus ruled over the country folk.
Embrace my pride, deservedly earned, Muse, and willingly crown me with Apollo’s laurel.
