- 1 One day, Sahng-jeh-nim said, “In the future, there will be two wars between China and Japan. In the first war, China will be defeated.
- 2 The second war will last ten years. In the end, Japan will be defeated and driven out. The Chinese army will invade Korea, but they will be unable to reach south of the Han River.”
- 3 He then had a bowl of water brought to Him. Flicking the water with His fingers, He said, “The West will withdraw easily, without anyone lifting a finger.”
- 4 After saying this, He sang, “The land of Dohng-nae and Ool-sahn trembles and sinks, and the whole world pops like roasting beans.”

- 5 One day, Sahng-jeh-nim said, “Eventually a major catastrophe will occur. A major catastrophe will begin in this country.”
- 6 He also said, “During a great war, a great disease will come. There will be a three-day war in this Eastern land, but the battle will not cross the Dohng-juk River. People can survive if they come to Taejeon.

- 8 “When the unknown disease circulates, the United States will withdraw, even if you plead with them not to go.
- 9 To build the world of immortality, Matteo Ricci, accompanied by the spirits of enlightenment and the spirits of civilization, will enter Korea following the goods transported from the West. At that time, the land of America, abandoned by the spirits, will be inundated by water.
