Foreword

The title of this posting is that of a poem by Gabriel Harvey, published in 1593. That was also the year of publication of the first work to appear under the name William Shakespeare.

The poem has been described as “intensely cryptic“, which is also my view of it.  Nevertheless, the poem has long been associated with the Marlovian aspect of the Shakespeare Mystery.

At the outset, the poem notes the non-occurrence in 1588 of the prophesied End of the World.  And, as it happens, its title‘s Cipher Value, 14786, equals 5364 + 9322 + 100 = 14786, as in the Cipher Values of Gabriel Harvey, William Shakespeare, and THE END.

¹Abomination of Desolation

(Details below)

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.
