Predicting the Future

The readings contain prophecies dated and undated, with varying degrees of specificity, covering a period from Cayce's lifetime through the year 2158. As a time traveler, Cayce appears to have been more successful in describing the future than the past, with most of his impressive "hits" involving the latter half of the twentieth century. On the other hand, his predictions of events within his own lifetime were particularly fallible. According to Cayce, San Francisco was to have a bigger earthquake in 1936 than in 1906, although by January 1936 he was saying this would not occur. 116 1934 was foretold to bring a great series of earth changes: "the earth will be broken up in many places ... a change in the physical aspect of the west coast of America ... open waters appear in the northern portions of Greenland ... new lands seen off the Caribbean Sea, and dry land will appear. .. South America shall be shaken from the uppermost portion to the end." 117 Political predictions for the year were equally dramatic: 'There will be the reduction of one risen to power in central Europe to naught. The young king son will soon reign." 118 In response to a question, this country was identified as Germany, and would seem to imply an early end to the Nazi regime and a return of monarchy. 1936 was prophesied to bring severe wars and earthquakes. 119 This would seem to be related to the birth of a divine messenger named John in late 1936, before whose appearance the sun would be darkened and the earth broken up. 120 Upon being asked about the possibility of a second world war, Cayce replied that it was possible but not inevitable, depending on how well international order was reestablished; without world brotherhood, Armageddon would come. 121 Despite the obvious failures of his catastrophic forecasts for the 1930s, there has been continued interest in Cayce's earth change predictions, many of which are not dated so specifically The best known of these makes a great many startling prophecies:

"In the next few years land will appear in the Atlantic as well as in the Pacific. . . . Portions of the now east coast of New York, or New York City itself, will in the main disappear. This will be another generation, though, here; while the southern portions of Carolina, Georgia—these will disappear. This will be much sooner. The waters of the lakes will empty into the Gulf . . . Los Angeles, San Francisco, most all of these will be among those that will be destroyed before New York even." 122

As will be discussed below, the end of the period forecast for the inauguration of such extreme changes is approaching. 1998 has great significance in the readings, and is seen as the beginning of a new age of enlightenment and brotherhood. But Cayce saw the end of the second world war as setting the stage for the new order that would gradually emerge:
