[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Cycles of History: The Prophecy of the New Empire" by Manuel Martinez and Sajid Black.]
Have you ever wondered if the rudimentary history is a code waiting to be deciphered, providing hints for those who know where to look, rather than just a random series of events? The Cycles of History: The Prophecy of the New Empire by Manuel Martinez and Sajid Black begins with Sebastian, who is thought to be dead, speaking with the Lord about everything that has happened since his death. Manuel Martinez has developed a broad framework that connects significant global events spanning several decades into a single numerological system based on cycles of years hooked on Genesis 47:11, where the numbers 47 and 11 serve as a key to time itself.
With the objective of proving how societies forget, repeat, and reconstruct, the book outlines a number of historical cycles that span from a few decades to over a century. As the book builds towards its main prophecy, it provides an ambitious framework that eventually reaches into the present and, in turn, creates links between the historical and present-day people.
I like that the book moves towards enlightening readers; instead of merely stating a plain prophecy, the timelines shift and interact to create a complex argument that the reader can ponder. The logic of one cycle in particular drives the weight of the book's main idea: that every generation runs the risk of forgetting and repeating the past. It is an intriguing read. When I say 'intriguing', I mean it in every sense of its pages and illustrations, because historical events you think were merely coincidences were all well-architected structures of occurrence and recurrence. The illustrations in this book helped paint clear images of what the author was talking about.
What I disliked: the book has no organised table of contents, which made it harder to track where one cycle's explanation ended and where the next began, especially given how dense the numerology was. I also noticed an inconsistency in the letter-number cipher, where the letter O is treated as 0 rather than its actual alphabet position of 15, and it's never made clear whether this is intentional.
Overall, I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. I deducted one star because of the dislikes I mentioned above. It was an enlightening and engaging read. It was perfectly edited, and I didn't come across any grammatical errors while reading the book. I recommend this book for readers who enjoy numerology, prophecy, theology, and alternate historical frameworks. Trump supporters would also love this book, but maybe not for anyone looking for a light or straightforward read.
