Parsing Mr. Gann's promise in TTTA

I have reformatted the next to the last paragraph of the Foreword to The Tunnel Thru the Air to an argument:

IF

“When you read it the third time, a new light will dawn.
You will find the hidden secret, the veiled meaning and
will understand why the Bible says, “Seek and ye shall
find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.”

THEN
  1. “You will want to understand more about the Bible.”
  2. “Then read the Bible three times and you will know why it is the greatest book ever written. It contains the key to the process by which you may know all there is to know and get all that you need to supply your demands and desires.”
  3. “You will appreciate why Solomon said, “Wisdom is the principal thing: therefore get wisdom and with all thy getting, get understanding.”
  4. “The future will become an open book.”
  5. “You will know that by following the laws laid down in the Bible, man’s last great enemy, Death, will be overcome and will understand why Jesus rose on the third day and rested on the seventh day.”
  6. “Robert Gordon’s seven days will no longer be a mystery because you will have gained understanding.”
Six consequences.  Okay, I understand 1, 2 and 3.  

Item 4 is a major promise.  Very important.  But how do we know when the promise is realized?  

Number 5 is a promise but its very curious to me.  Death will be overcome.  Jesus rested on the 7th day?

Number 6 leads me to believe that IF I understand the mystery of Robert Gordon, I will have passed a test of sorts and can then be confident I have gained understanding.  That I will possess the promises of 4 and 5.

RG's 7 days, a work in progress for me.  Way more than 3 readings for this chimp thus far Mr. Gann.  You must have been talking about smart people.
