Abstract
MR. BELLAMY'S interpretation of the Apocalypse is entirely cosmological, being based upon the theory of the Austrian, Hoerbiger, concerning the attraction and ultimate destruction of satellites. Mr. Bellamy discovers in the Book of Revelation three cycles of myths, all concerned with a most appalling cataclysm which occurred thousands of centuries ago -the attraction and disintegration by the earth's gravitation of the satellite which was the predecessor of our present moon. He discovers further mythological material which he traces to a subsequent cataclysm which occurred when the planet Luna was captured by the earth's gravitation about fifteen thousand years ago, causing the sudden submergence of the continent of Atlantis.
