-Saint Germain was also embodied as Christopher Columbus (1451–1506), discoverer of America. Over two centuries before Columbus sailed, Roger Bacon himself had set the stage for Columbus’ voyage to the New World when he stated in his ''Opus Majus'' that “the sea between the end of Spain on the west and the beginning of India on the east is navigable in a very few days if the wind is favorable.”<ref>David Wallechinsky, Amy Wallace and Irving Wallace, ''The Book of Predictions'' (New York: William Morrow and Co., 1980), p. 346.</ref> Although the statement was incorrect in that the land to the west of Spain was not India, it was instrumental in Columbus’ discovery. He quoted the passage in a 1498 letter to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella and said that his 1492 voyage had been inspired in part by this visionary statement.
+Saint Germain también estuvo encarnado como Cristóbal Colón (1451-1506), descubridor de América. Más de dos siglos antes de que Colón navegara, el propio Roger Bacon había preparado el terreno para el viaje de Colón al Nuevo Mundo al afirmar en su Opus Majus que «el mar entre el fin de España a occidente y el principio de la India a oriente es navegable en unos pocos días si el viento es favorable»<ref>David Wallechinsky, Amy Wallace and Irving Wallace, ''The Book of Predictions'' (New York: William Morrow and Co., 1980), p. 346.</ref>. Aunque la afirmación era incorrecta en cuanto que la tierra al oeste de España no era la India, contribuyó decisivamente al descubrimiento de Colón. Colon citó el pasaje en cuestión en una carta de 1498 a los Reyes Católicos y dijo que su viaje de 1492 se había inspirado parcialmente en esa afirmación visionaria.
 Columbus believed that God had made him to be “the messenger of the new heaven and the new earth of which He spake in the Apocalypse of St. John, after having spoken of it by the mouth of Isaiah.”  “In the carrying out of this enterprise of the Indies,”<ref>Clements R. Markham, ''Life of Christopher Columbus'' (London: George Philip and Son, 1892), pp. 207–8.</ref> he wrote to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella in 1502, “neither reason nor mathematics nor maps were any use to me: fully accomplished were the words of Isaiah.” He was referring to the prophecy recorded in Isaiah 11:10–12 that the Lord would “recover the remnant of his people...and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.”<ref>''Encyclopaedia Britannica'', 15th ed., s.v. “Columbus, Christopher.”</ref>
