Isaiah had forecast what the Mystery of Revelation and its consequences would be like:

The voice of him that crieth: in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Eternal,
Make straight in the desert
A highway for our God
Every valley shall be exalted
And every mountain and hill shall be made low
And the crooked shall be made straight
15
And the rough places plain .

Normally, the evolution of humanity, during the Cycle of the Son, should have

corresponded with the picture painted by the Prophet. If they had hearkened to the

Voice that cried in the wilderness: a normal evolution would have followed because it
corresponded with the divine plan. But the active participation of the chosen people

was necessary. This evolution was compromised by the Sanhedrin's resistance, passive

at first, then active, and finally ending with the crucifixion of Jesus.

Thus, instead of crossing over the second Threshold, the chosen people suffered a fall
and they dragged the whole of humanity en masse with them. About forty years after

the Saviour's death, Solomon's temple was destroyed and the dissemination of the Jews

began. Due to the failure of its esoteric pioneers, humanity has been marking time

during the Cycle of the Son.
