13.1 The Tunnel and the Bible

We have done the preliminary work, and we shall now look at something with some real heft. The starting point for Gann’s medium term forecasts is this passage which I have taken from page 54 of The Tunnel Thru The Air. It is in the King James version of The Bible: And say, Thus saith the Lord God, A great eagle with great wings, long-winged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar.

There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers; and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation. Son of man set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field.

Robert (Robert Gordon is the hero of the novel) interpreted this to mean that the day was coming when there would be a great air fight from the southern part of the United States.

The passage continues:

And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the Lord, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree; the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north (a 180 degree movement) shall be burned therein.

Robert read Ezekiel 21: 14, 26 and 30 (see what I have said about numerology):

Thou, therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain; it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.

Thus saith the Lord God, Remove the diadem, and take off the crown; this shall not be the same; exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of the nativity.

There follows more from the Bible about a forest to the south and a fire and, so says Robert Gordon, this means war. This passage stretches for some time, both before and after the part that I have given. Here we see William Delbert at his best. He uses certain devices to hide what he is really about and at the same time this is a rare occasion in which he does convey something useful. Robert Gordon wrote to his fiancée’s father, Mr. Kennelworth, about a marvellous discovery about cycles in stocks and commodities which he had found by reading the Bible and announced that he intended to speculate in the cotton market and make a lot of money. Mr. Kennelworth wrote back congratulating Robert on what a brilliant young man he was, how he was the brains and the future of the country.
