Saucy Jacky

So far, our primary focus has been Jack’s use of timetables based on days. But, Jack also used the three hundred years from the Glorious Revolution of 1688 to the start of the new Golden Age in 1988. 

Jack, it seems, believed the Golden Age was the end result of a process that began with the Glorious Revolution.

The Whitechapel murders began in 1888 and split the three hundred years from the Glorious Revolution to the Golden Age  into a 2:1 ratio.

Moreover, he used weeks, as well as days and years. He used a modified version of the 70 weeks of years set out in the Book of Daniel. In the Bible, the weeks are divided into three lots – an initial lot of seven weeks, sixty-two weeks, and  then a final week. 

Jack divided the seventy days from the first to the last canonical murders  based on the division set out in the Book of Daniel, albeit with a quirky twist. First, he added the initial seven weeks to the final week to get eight. Jack then divided sixty-two into twenty-two and forty. Thus, he murdered his second canonical victim (Chapman) eight days after Nichols. The deaths of Stride and Eddowes     (the double event) occurred twenty-two days later, and Jack killed Mary Jane Kelly, his fifth canonical victim,  forty days after the double event..
