My father and brother opposed me because they did not understand me.
I firmly believe that the Bible and the Scriptures contain the key to all knowledge, and that all a man has to do is to seek and he shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto him. I believe it is best for me to go away to New York as soon as I can, away from my own people, for the good book says:
"A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house."
The Bible points the way to read the signs and the stars. St. Matthew 12:38, 39 and 40—
"Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee."
"But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:"
"For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
I have read the Book of Jonah thru very carefully, and I believe that I understand what the Saviour meant when he said:
"No sign shall be given, but the sign of the prophet Jonas."
I believe there was a secret meaning in what he said; that the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. I believe that a man who understands the meaning of that has all the power under heaven and earth, as the Bible says he shall have. I believe that that is the key to the interpretation of the future. I am sure I have found it and know how to apply it.
