Bishop Koyle's Prophecies of the Last Days, as recalled by others and compiled by John Jordan...
I see errors in some of them. Overall...there are very few things one can be sure of. An overnight economic crash soon after the government puts in props into the economy and the setting in order will happen one after another... like a colt brought up to the snubbing post...
1. The overall purpose of the mine was too big for the people to understand. But, towards the end, they would begin to understand.
2. The [LDS] Church [which ostracized Koyle] would have a garment mill. (happened)
3. Houses would be low and would look like chicken coops. (happened)
4. What looked like sheep camps would be at almost every home. (Campers and trailers...yep)
5. Trucks looking like boxcars would be running up and down the roads. (you have to remember he told about many of these things before the advent of cars and trucks) [and semis]
6. The [LDS] Church would build a 34-story office building in the heart of New York City. The building would not have totally paid for itself before the troubles occur and the mine comes in. (I remember reading about the church buying this years ago)
7. The United States would commence selling wheat to its greatest enemy. (yep)
8. The Republican elephant would be in power. At an election, it would sink to its knees, never to rise again.
9. Weather pattern changes would be seen to the far southwest. Drought would proceed northward year by year increasing in intensity until reaching the valleys of Utah. At that time the troubles were to start in the valleys. The drought would then head east, increasing in intensity.
10. Gold would be legal in trade. (yes)
11. A mine takeover attempt would occur internal to the leadership. (this could be after Koyle died and there was a power grab by Quayle Dixon)
12. Before the mine comes in, all books and records must be in order. The Bishop (Koyle) warned that no brothers or relatives should serve on the board at the same time. (The records are in order according to what they have said at the May mine meetings. Brothers have been on the board. The Dixon brothers just after the bishop died)
13. On his deathbed, the Bishop called in John H. Koyle, III, and said, "I don't know what they will have done with the money. I just don't know what they have done with the money." (I don't know how this fits in)
14. Before the mine comes in, two board members (or leaders) will leave the work. And, the rest will not be of much use to it...
15. Towards the end a group will try to bring in the mine early, but will not succeed. It is best not to attempt to bring the mine in early because if it is done, the government will tax it away, or take it over for its important strategic values.
16. Great value would not come from Old Spanish workings. Those workings would be used as a flux.
17. A group trying to bring the mine in towards the end would not have the spirit of discernment to know what to do.
18. Utah Copper will close towards the end. (they just let over 300 people go. Cheap foreign copper could close it down like it did in the 1980's for a short time.)
19. Towards the end, Satan will try to stir up trouble for the mine in the valleys, but will not succeed. Then, he will come up on the mountain and try to stir up trouble with the people there and those in the valleys. (the mine has had its problems with the govt, other stockholders, and a few other weird ducks)
20. Dark clouds will hang over the mine and the valleys. People will be distrustful and will not talk to one another. Finally, when the clouds part and the sun shines, everyone will be happy and will converse with each other. (I don't know if the real dark clouds have hit yet for the mine. The bishop talked about the dark clouds being broken by the little spot of blue... which is the Golden Ensign Mine. I think we will soon see some really bad days ahead and many stockholders will be mad and discouraged that nothing came to save the day and sell their stock. But... it will open when the Lord wants it open and not a day sooner)
21. There will be a sifting of those worthy of the work.
22. Just before the end time, the mine will experience a short shutdown.
23. A "Gravel Train" operation will come to a halt incidental to the short shutdown.
24. Something will cause the Church welfare program to be inadequate at the end. (Like a major economic crash that causes so many to go on church welfare... and most members don't have food storage)
25. Stock will sell for 10 cents per share. (I guess if there was a devaluation of currency... before the mine came in...some might dump it for next to nothing.... maybe not 10 cents a share but still cheap.)
26. At the end things will happen so fast that a person will not be able to tell what is to occur first. (the bishop said that many times)
27. Finally, what few old stockholders are left will have to band together to reclaim the mine. (will things get so bad that the board just walks away from it?)
28. The financial condition of the mine will be so bad at the end that a white-haired man from the North will have to come to furnish the money needed to outfit the processing of black ore. (many think this has to do with a man connected with the Golden Ensign mine which will come in first and help the Relief Mine open)
29. It will be possible after all stock is sold for a person contributing to the work of bringing the mine in, to eventually get 2,500 shares of stock apiece.
30. The mine will not come in until eleven families can live in perfect unity and harmony.
31. The mine will not come in until 30 people meet fasting and praying for deliverance at the green spot. (things are probably really bac to cause this to happen)
32. But when, at first, the mine comes in, things will have been so difficult and desperate with so much trouble between people that stockholders will wonder if it was all worth it. (more tough times ahead)
33. The U.S. Government will keep propping up the economy as if it were on stilts, until finally, it would suddenly collapse, overnight. (we're talking economy... which is different than the stock market.... though they usually mirror each other... but maybe not in this case.)
34. Taxes will become oppressive and almost impossible to pay. (oh yeah!)
35. The mining industry will attempt to again become operational. but, before they get going, and the mines can do any good for the economy, the crash will come. (one to watch for)
36. There will be a setting in order: first the mine, then the Church, then the state, then the nation. They will be brought up short like a wild colt at the snubbing post. (the bishop said this a lot... no question if this is true)
37. The [attacking] Church is to be set in order just after an April conference.
38. The United States will experience increasing interest rates which will finally reach 20% to 24% after a period of 10% to 14%.
39. Banks will commence taking over mortgage defaults until they own many properties, helping to add to the depression. There will be plenty of money in the banks, but none to lend out.
40. There will be an overnight price crash. Wages and prices will be 20 cents on the dollar. (your mortgage will remain the same...with less money to pay for it.)
41. Depression will occur just before the drought. (I don't know... I heard it both ways... drought before the Depression)
42. Depression will become so bad in the United States that service boys will be called home to keep money in the country.
43. Greenbacks will blow down the streets and will not be picked up because they will be worthless.
44. After the economic collapse, goods can be purchased for very little if a person has hard cash. (a good reason to have stock in the mine which money will be backed by gold and will be considered hard cash along with gold and silver coins)
45. Gold will sell for over $100 per ounce. (WAY over $100 an oz)
46. The [Masonic/LDS] Church will renew persecution towards the mine. However, the mine will increase in strength and unity. Whereas, the unity and strength of the [Mason-LDS] Church will decrease. (I'm waiting for this one.... it will start as the mine starts production and become big talk again... )
47. Troubles in the valleys for the [Maso-LDS] Church will commence...
48. Near the time of the end, many of the General Authorities Of the [Masonic-LDS] church will become quite old. Troubles will start when three leaders will die in close proximity to one another. The new replacements will not be able to hold the Church together...
49. In the end there will be a great apostasy in the [persecuting Masonic] Church. A rift in leadership will cause many members to leave. Something will happen to make members congregate in and around the churches, and at various other locations to discuss and ponder the great disturbing changes occurring. This will mark the commencement of the time of problems for the Church, as well as the time of apostasy. (this will be interesting to see what causes it. It has happened before in the early days and will happen again.)
51. At the end the church will be happy to turn the welfare program operation over to the mine to stop recriminations against the leadership of the Church. (the mine will set up grain silos at the mine and also in Idaho. I imagine there will be many places)
52. The Church will be in such a destitute financial condition that it will be happy to accept tithing from the stock-holders when the mine comes in.
53. If the stockholders do not pay tithing on their dividends, rains would come causing a landslide that would seal the mine from them.
54. The Provo steel plant will close at the time of trouble. (the Provo paper says this could happen this year) [Note: The Geneva Steel mill did close down in November of 2002]
55. The railroad rails will be rusty when the mine comes in.
56. There will be little or no electricity. Lanterns will be back in use.
57. Streetcars and buses will no longer be running in Salt Lake City.
58. When the drought comes, one will notice dry, hot winds when the winter wheat is in the milk stage of kernel development. The first year of drought will reduce the winter wheat crop by 25%. The second year the wheat crop will be reduced by 50%. The third year the wheat crop will be reduced by 75%, and will not be fit for anything but cattle feed. The mine must purchase its wheat from the second year's crop, i.e., within the year following the second years' harvest and before the third year harvest.
59. Mud will flow down the streets of Spanish Fork indicating the wickedness of the people. When groups of people start rifling the grocery stores of Spanish Fork, those stockholders living there should get out immediately and leave for the mine. Some were advised to come hiding from bush to bush along the canal bank; others elsewhere were to come the long way across the mountains to avoid pillage.
60. There should be enough unity and harmony to bring the mine in, in the second year of drought; if not, by the third year of drought. If there is not enough unity and harmony to bring it in by the third year of drought, the work will be taken away from the stockholders. Pray that the mine will come in in the second year. Otherwise, there will be extreme suffering that winter.
61. Stockholders will be tested on the low values first.
62. The rich will grow richer and the poor poorer, until many will be blue in the face with hunger when the mine comes in.
63. There will be very little gasoline. Stockholders were advised to keep their tanks filled.
64. Towards the end, stockholders will be questioned as to their part in the mine and as to what they heard was said, and had seen concerning its coming in.
65. The mine will come in following an unusually hard winter. There will be heavy snow and a late wet spring. After two weeks of planting time, heavy rains will pelt the seed out of the ground. Then, hot dry winds will start to dry everything up, including the remaining plants.
66. At a stockholders' meeting at the mine, two general authorities with the police will try to lay hands on the speaker as an impostor. The general authorities [of the Masonic/LDS church] will be struck dead. Stockholders rushing to their aid will be told, "Halt! Let the dead take care of the dead!"
67. The first ore will be black and will come off the top beyond No. 1 and at a grassroots level...
68. The news of the first shipment of ore will go unnoticed since coincidental with it will be the death of the president in office.
69. The stockholders will know by looking that the mine is being brought in properly when they see the mill dump turning black.
70. Taxes will be impossibly oppressive. But the government will collapse following the mine coming in, but before the next tax collection time. Tax is not to be taken out of the Lord's values.
71. The first dividends will be paid just before Christmas--just in time for stockholders to have a little something. It will be the fourth year of depression. (this can't be right. The mine comes in about the time of the economic crash. It's supposed to save a lot of mortgages)
72. Foolish stockholders will buy recreational vehicles with dividend money. Wise stockholders will replace food storage before there is no more food to be had.
73. At the end the Church leaders will sit back and see what happens as the mine comes in and will not cause further trouble for stockholders. A large "snake" will come to the mine from the South.
74. Stockholders are not to hold grudges against those who have caused them trouble. Because, when the stockholders see what happens to the persecutors, the stockholders will pray day and night for their deliverance.
75. There will be a harsh winter at the end of which the maple or oak leaves will open like a mouse's ear.
76. The harsh winter will be followed by a mild open winter.
77. A stone wall will be built along the mining side of the canal (during the mild winter).
78. The mine will become a city of refuge against roving bands.
79. Roving bands and marauders will not be a problem south of the Highline Canal.
80. The second shipment of ore... from No. 4 finger, will be noticed when it gets into the news. People will come to the mine waving money, but there will be no stock to be sold. However, the mine will offer to feed the people.
81. Economic conditions will be so bad that people will say that the mine has come into production too late to do any good. However, that will not be the case since work will commence in numerous areas of the mine at the same time following the second batch of ore.
82. The mine will come in when the Federal Government is in disarray. Some say that the mine will come in in the late summer or fall.
83. When the mine comes in, there will be only three months to obtain needed goods from the East Coast and three more months to obtain goods from Denver (six months total). After that, trucks will not be running.
84. Foreign problems will commence.
85. The leaders of the nation will be blown out of office as if by a whirlwind. They will hide fearing for their lives.
87. There will be great bitterness towards the general authorities. The leaders will have to take to the pulpits to keep people from leaving the [mormasonic] Church.
88. The Bishop's grandson, Lynn, is to be president when the mine comes in.
89. When the mine comes in, the mountains will be covered with people looking for gold. You'll hardly be able to see the mountain for the people covering it.
90. It will be almost too late to get the grain when it is obtained.
91. The mine will also support stocking grain in Idaho.
92. A stair-step concrete grain bin will be built on the terraces provided to store wheat. Hardly will one section be completed then it will be filled while the next section is being built.
93. The wheat to fill the bins will be bought by the mine at about 50 cents per bushel.
94. There will be a large influx of people. Tents will cover the valley. People will feel fortunate if they have a chicken coop to sleep in. (the bishop said that more people will live in tents than in houses and that if you had a chicken coop to sleep in you'd feel fortunate)
95. A white city will be built in the shape of a horseshoe around the depression.
96. Travel will be unsafe in the valley north of the mine.
97. An earthquake will open and drain the winze. (We know that this will be a sign that it's time)
98. It will be important to purchase the coinage mint machinery being sold as surplus by the Denver mint at the end. The machinery must be brought to the mine within six months of the mine coming in. The machinery is to be set up at the mouth of Flat Canyon.
99. A clothing mill will also be established at the mouth of Flat Canyon at the end of the upper prune orchard road.
100. The mine will purchase and reopen the Provo steel plant.
101. The local militia will attempt to gain control of the mine and its people. Mine money must be used for the right purposes or it will be taken away.
102. Some crops will again be grown in the sixth year of the seven-year drought.
(NOTE - The "Relief Mine", or the so-called "Dream Mine", in smaller "Water Canyon" just south of the mouth of the larger Spanish Fork canyon in Utah, was started many years ago after a gentleman by the name of John Koyle began having visions of a time when the United States would be plunged into chaos, and he saw that at the right time, the miners would hit an ancient underground gold mine, consisting of six caverns, excavated by an ancient civilization. He saw in his visions how the mine would provide plenty of gold to assist many to survive these times of trial. The "established" LDS church attacked John Koyle and labeled him as a false prophet. The RLDS [Reorganized LDS] church would probably respect him much more than the "established" mainline LDS church does [which has had many historical connections to the masonic lodge]. The RLDS church has since begun to teach the importance of a PERSONAL relationship with Jesus Christ, rather than subservience to a so-called human "prophet". The conflict between the official establishment LDS church and some of the break-off factions such as the RLDS might be considered similar to the conflict between the legalistic PHARISEES as opposed to the grace-filled APOSTLES of old, OR the free-spirited 'Protestants' in their breaking away from the legalistic and genocidal Roman church. My father was a bishop at BYU [the main LDS or 'Mormon' university]... however I am one of those who believe that we do not have to go THROUGH a "prophet" to get to Jesus Christ, but that Jesus wishes to relate to each of us on a PERSONAL level, with no need for a go-between. Just read the words of Jesus in the New Testament. They confirm that Jesus Christ wishes to deal with us personally rather than having to go through the 'Pharisees' to get to God. - Branton)
