The Second Coming is destined for Bedford. There’s over £15 million in the bank to fund it. What’s more, if you are to believe the Panacea Society, then Bedford in the heart of middle England is also the Garden of Eden and New Jerusalem. It’s a question of faith. Theirs is unshakeable.
For over 70 years the trustees of the Panacea Society have been trying to persuade the Church of England to take them seriously, and to send 24 bishops to Bedford to open their ‘ark’, a 200-year-old box of prophecies. They believe opening this box will save the world from the Apocalypse.
