St. Nilus (5th
Century)
: After 1900, toward the middle of the 20th century, the
people of that time will become unrecognizable. When the time for the
Advent of the Antichrist approaches, people's
minds will grow cloudy from carnal passions, and dishonor and
lawlessness will grow stronger. Then the world will become
unrecognizable. People's appearances will
change, and it will be impossible to distinguish men from women due to
their shamelessness in dress and style of hair. These people will be
cruel and will be like wild animals because of
the temptations of the Antichrist. There will be no respect for parents
and elders, love will disappear, and Christian pastors, bishops,
and priests will become vain men, completely failing
to distinguish the right hand from the left. At that time the morals and
traditions of Christians and of the Church will change.
People will abandon modesty, and dissipation will
reign. Falsehood and greed will attain great proportions, and woe to
those who pile up treasures. Lust, adultery,
homosexuality, secret deeds and murder will rule in society. At that
future time, due to the power of such great crimes and licentiousness,
people will be deprived of the grace of the
Holy Spirit, which they received in Holy Baptism, and equally of
remorse. The Churches of God will be deprived of God-fearing and
pious pastors, and woe to the Christians
remaining in the world at that time; many will completely lose their
Faith because they will lack the opportunity of seeing the light
of knowledge from anyone at all. Then they
will separate themselves out of the world in holy refuges in search of
lightening their spiritual sufferings, but everywhere they will meet obstacles and constraints. And all this will
result from the fact that the Antichrist will want to be Lord over
everything and become the ruler of the whole universe, and he will produce miracles and fantastic signs.
He will also give depraved wisdom to an unhappy man so that he will
discover a way by which one man can carry on a
conversation with another from one end of the earth to the other. At
that time men will also fly through the air like birds and descend to
the bottom of the sea like fish. And when they
have achieved all this, these unhappy people will spend their lives in
comfort without knowing, poor souls, that it is deceit of the
Antichrist.
And, the impious one! - he will so complete
science with vanity that it will go off the right path and lead people
to lose faith in the existence of God and in the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. Then the All-good God will see the
downfall of the human race and will shorten the days for the sake of
those few who are being saved, because the
enemy wants to lead even the chosen into temptation, if that is possible
... then the sword of chastisement will suddenly appear and kill the
perverter and his servants.
Nichiren (1222-82)
: When, at a certain future time, the union of the state law
and the Buddhist Truth shall be established, and the harmony between the
two completed, both sovereign and subjects
will faithfully adhere to the Great Mysteries. Then the golden age, such
as were the ages under the reign of the sage kings of old, will be
realized in these days of degeneration and
corruption, in the time of the Latter Law. Then the establishment of the
Holy See will be completed, by imperial grant and the edict of the
Dictator, at a spot comparable in its
excellence with the Paradise of Vulture Peak. We have only to wait for
the coming of the time. Then the moral law (kaiho) will be achieved in
the actual life of mankind. The Holy See will
be the seat where all men of the three countries [India, China and
Japan] and the whole jambudvipa [world] will be initiated into the mysteries of confession and expiation; and even
the great deities, Brahma and Indra, will come down into the sanctuary
and participate in the initiation. [Sources of

(14th century)
: "Unknown diseases and plagues will accompany the end of the
Millennium, because the last beast will liberate gold and poison... and
the gold will produce despair, while the
poison will produce death. In the time of the seventh seal, the earth
will be an abandoned factory of poisons. And the few wise men that will
remain, will not be able to make another thing
but to invoke the anger of God, so that the impious beast which will
have destroyed the life be destroyed".
Nostradamus
(1503-1566)
: Born Michel de Nostredame in France,1503, Nostradamus is
perhaps the most famous and controversial prophet of the last four-and
-a -half centuries. In 1555 he published
Centuries, his 942 predictive quatrains of the future history of the
world.
PREFACE OF MICHEL NOSTRADAMUS : LETTER TO HIS SON
CEASAR .
TO CESAR NOSTRADAMUS, MY SON, Life and
felicity. Your late advent, C*sar de Nostredame, my son, has forced me
to dedicate long evenings writing, for your edification, after my disappearance et for the common good
of humanity, what the divine essence, by the intermediary of the science
of the movement of the heavenly body, has
revealed to me. And since it pleased to the immortal God that you
weren't born on this earth with the inner knowledge and since I don't
wish to reveal to you the number of years that
will be required to acquire the necessary knowledge, but rather the
martial months required to do so, which you're not able to understand
yet because of your weak understanding, which
I'll be forced to enlighten after my extinction: since it is not
possible to leave you in writing what could be altered by the
ravages of time, for the hereditary word of the
occult prediction will disappear with me : considering as well that the
events remain uncertain and that the whole is regulated by the invaluable power of God who inspires us,
neither by hallucination, nor by delirium, but rather by the truth
revealed by the heavenly bodies Only those inspired by God can predict particular facts with a
prophetic genius. How many times have I predicted in advance what has
since then happened in the given regions, imputing the whole to virtue and divine inspiration, as
well as other happy and sinister events written with haste an which,
since, have happened in the world : having wanted to conceal and not put in writing, in order to avoid
to undergo the ravages, not only of the present times, but also of the
greater part of the future, what the kingdoms,
sects and religions would modify in a diametrically opposite sense, That
if I came to reveal what will happen to kingdoms, to sects and to the
Church, these would find my remarks so
contrary to their understanding that they would come to deny what, in
the centuries to come, will happen and be recognized as true.
Considering also the maim of the true Savior "
Don't give holy things to dogs and don't throw pearls to swine in fear
that they trample them and that, turning against you, they tear you up ", I judged that it was better to
make my writings difficult of access and to withdraw the pen from
the paper, and I have wanted to dwell on the coming of the people, by obscure and enigmatic sentences,
on the events to come, even the most imminent, that I foresaw, whatever
the reaction of the people, the whole composed
under nebulous form, more than any other written prophecies, how much "
you have hidden those things from the wise and the cautious, in other
words to the mighty and the kings, but you
have revealed them to the small and the weak ", and to the prophets
who, by the intervention of the immortal God et de good angels, have received the gift of predictions, by which they
foresee the things of the future and achieve to predict events : Because
nothing can be perfected without him, to whom
(i.e. the good angels) so great is the might and the goodness towards
the subjects (those of God), that while they are in them, every time
whence they're submitted to the other effects
that akin to the cause of what presides over life, this warmness and
this power come in us as it goes for the rays of the Sun,
transmitting their heat to the elementary
bodies (and to the non-elementary ones). As for us humans, we can't know
nothing, neither from our knowledge, nor from our intelligence,
of the hidden secrets of God the Creator. Because "
it is not for us to know neither the times, nor the moments "
.
How much also, from the present moment on, can be
shown to us of the personages that God the Creator has wished to reveal
to us with the help of pictures generated by
creative imagination, thus revealing us some secrets of the future in
accord with the judiciary astrology, like it was in the past, when a
certain might or voluntary faculty would come
in them like the flame of the fire appears and that, by inspiration, we
could achieve to distinct those that are of divine origin from those
that are human. For the divine deeds, which
are all absolute, God comes to perfect them : the second plan which is
in the middle, the Angels ; the third, the bad (angels). But,
my son, I speak to you here in a too confusing
fashion : But about the occult predictions that we come to perceive by
the subtle spirit of fire, the one that sometimes, by its overexcited spirit, while still being vigilant and
contemplating the star on the zenith, is surprised of the consonance of
the words pronounced and written without fear, without impudent verbiage, that which proceed from the
might of the great eternal God from whom comes all goodness. Even
though, my son, that I have used the name prophet, I don't want to confer myself such a sublime title
for the present for the one " that we today call prophet was once in the
past called a seer " : because is really prophet, my son, he who see future things by the natural
knowledge given to all creature. In the eventuality where the prophet
would see, in a precise fashion, all the extent of the future, as much about the divine, than the
human, things, which can't be done, since the range of the prediction
spans over a long period. For the secrets of God can't be understood and the effective virtue is, since
long, contingent to the innate or natural knowledge which takes its
farthest origin in free will and makes appear the causes which, by themselves, can't possess this notion,
nor be known by the augurs of men or by the occult knowledge, and which
is included under the celestial vault which
contains the present and all eternity, coming in itself to embrace all
time.
But, despite the fact that eternity is
indivisible, the near epileptic crisis state of transe can bring about,
with the help of the movement of the stars, the causes to be
known. I don't say, my son, in order that you
understand well, that the knowledge in this matter can't still
impregnate itself in your feeble brain and that the remote events of the future can't be known by the reasonable being
; but if these causes are brought to the attention of the intelligent
man, the events of the future will not be too concealed nor too accessible to him. But the perfect
knowledge of the causes can't be acquired without this divine
revelation, considering that all prophetic inspiration received takes its driving principle from God the creator,
then from fate an from nature. In view of the identical causes, whether
they have happened or not, the presage realizes itself anyway, in part, at the place where it was
predicted. For the understanding created intellectually cannot see what
is hidden, except through the voice heard from
limbo, by means of the little flame under which, in part, the future
causes will come to be inclined.Also, my son, I implore you never to use
your brain for these reveries and vanities
which dry up the body and push the soul to a state of perdition,
troubling those whose senses are already fragile, even the vanity of the
very execrable magic reprobated in olden days
by the Holy Scriptures and by the divine laws, On top of which is
excluded the judgment of the judiciary astrology, by means of which and provided the divine inspiration and
revelation, by endless calculations, we have drafted our prophecies. And
although this occult philosophy is not outcast, I have not wanted to elaborate on its tremendous power of
persuasion, even though many revealing books, hidden during long
centuries, have fallen into my hands. But fearing what would become, after the reading, I offered
them as a present to Vulcan, and while he was devouring them, the flame
licking them, the air took an unwonted brightness, brighter than the normal flame, like the light
of the flashing thunder lighting suddenly the house, as if it had been
at the center of a conflagration. And in order
that in the future you may not be abused, searching the perfect
transmutation, in silver as much as in gold, searching the earth and the
seas for incorruptible metals, I have
preferred to convert them to ashes. But concerning the judgment that is
getting completed provided the approbation of heaven, this I do want to
manifest to you, in order to have the
knowledge of the future causes, moving away from the imaginations
pertaining from fantasy that won't fail to happen, delimiting the
particularities of the places, by divine and
supernatural inspiration, matching to the heavenly bodies the places and
a part of the time hidden by divine virtue, might and faculty, in
presence of which the three times are understood in
eternity, the movement of revolution of those referring to the past,
present and future event " because those things are naked and exposed, etc. " That is why, my son, you can
easily (despite your weak understanding) understand that the things that
must happen may be prophesized by the light of
the heavenly bodies which is natural as well as by the spirit of
prophecy.
Not that I want to allot myself the name and
quality of prophet, but by revealed inspiration, as a mortal man not
less apart from heaven by my senses as I have my feet well anchored to the ground. " I cannot therefore be
mistaken, neither fail nor be abused ", even if I am sinner greater than
any in this world and subject to all human afflictions. But being sometimes surprised, in state of
ecstasy and absorbed in long calculations conferring to the nocturnal
studies a sweet odor, I have composed divinatory books containing each one hundred quatrains of
prophecies pertaining to judiciary astrology, which I have wanted to put
end to end in an obscure fashion and that
constitute perpetual vaticinations from now until the year 3797. That it
is possible that this will make the forefront of some recede by seeing
so long an extension, and everywhere, under
the concavity of the moon, this will happen and will be understood ; and
by that I mean universally, throughout the whole earth (the causes),
my son. That if you live the normal age of the
human, you will see in the sky of your part of the country, under the
very sky of your own birth, the events of the future that are forecast. For the unique eternal God is the only one
who knows the eternity of His light, since it proceeds from his person :
and I say frankly to those to whom he has
wanted to reveal his greatness (which is immeasurable and
incomprehensible) by long melancholic inspiration, only under the
condition that this occult cause be manifested
by the divine intervention : essentially, from two (main) causes which
are integral part of the understanding of the one who is inspired and
who prophetizes, one comes to infuse the
intelligence of the surnatural light to the one who predicts by the
science of the stars and prophesizes by inspired revelation, which
constitutes a certain participation to divine
eternity, provided that the prophet understands that what his spirit has
revealed to him comes from the Creator, the other (which comes
from) his natural predispositions: It is namely that
what he predicts is true and has taken its origin in an ethereal fashion
and from such light and slender flame which is of all efficiency and of such greatness, not less than
nature, the brightness and the natural light which makes philosophers so
sure of themselves, considering that the principles of the main cause have reached the deepest
depths and the highest doctrines.
But, to this end, my son, that I do not speculate
too much on the future capacity of your understanding, and since I know
that the literature will produce such a great and unprecedented bragging over my vision before the universal
conflagration to come, which concerns to so many floods and to so many
great inundations that there will be hardly
any territories that wont be covered by water, and will be so for so
long, excepted in certain places, that everything will be destroyed :
also, before and after such inundations, in
many regions the rain will become so rare and will fall from the skies
such an abundance of incandescent stones that nothing will remain that
won't be consumed : this will happen, briefly,
before the last conflagration. For before the planet Mars has completed
his cycle and at the end of its last period, and if it starts it
over, gathered together some in Aquarius for several
years, the others in Cancer longer and more often. And now that we are
driven by the moon, thanks to the all-mighty
power of the eternal God before it (the Earth) has accomplished its
great cycle, the Sun will come, then Saturn. For, according to the
celestial signs, the reign of Saturn will be
back and, the whole well calculated, the world is getting nearer of a
destructive mutation. and that from the period when I write, before one
hundred seventy seven years three months and
eleven days, by disease, long famine and wars, and even more by
inundations, the world, between the present times and the established term, before and after, in many occasions, will
be so diminished and there will be so little people, that we will find
no one who will want to work in the fields,
which will then become abandoned for a time as long as they have been
exploited. and this, concerning the visible judgment of heaven, yet that
we are at the seventh number of one thousand
which complete the whole, bringing us near to the eighth where the
firmament of the eighth sphere, which is of very important dimension, where the great eternal God will come to
complete the revolution, where the celestial pictures will begin over
their cycle and the superior movement which makes the earth stable and firm to us, " will not be
eternally tilted " lest his wishes be accomplished, and not in any way
otherwise. How much that, by ambiguous opinions exceeding all natural reasons, by diverting
dreams, that is why God the Creator, by the mediation of his messengers,
by the flame of fire sent, never comes to propose to the exterior senses, not even to our eyes, the
predictions which address the future and manifest themselves to the one
who wants to witness them.
For the omen that is cast from the exterior light
will infallibly combine and compare in part with the interior light of
the seer, even though that the one who thinks he sees by his eyes is but an effect of his passionate imagination.
The reason is too obvious, the whole must be predicted by the divine
breath and by the intervention of the spirit of the angels, inspired to the man who prophecizes,
together with the vaticination that comes to enlighten him, moving him
as much by diverse nocturnal apparitions than by the certainty of the day, by its knowledge of the stars,
together with the sanctity of the true vision of the future, considering
nothing else than the affirmation of self. Come listen at this hour, my son, what I discover by my
calculations of the movements of the heavenly bodies that are tuned with
the revealed inspiration, that the mortal sword gets nearer to us now, by disease, war more horrible
than ever was, by the fact of three men, and drought which will come on
earth and will come back on it often, because
the heavenly bodies tune themselves to the revolution (translation) and
also we say : " I will repress your iniquity with an iron rod and will
chastise them with whips. " for the
mercifulness of the Lord won't be spread anymore during a certain
period, my son, lest that most of my prophecies be accomplished and will
come to pass by their accomplishment. So, many
times, during the sinister tempests, will say the Lord : "I will trample
them under my feet, I will break them and won't have any pity for them." and a thousand more adventures that
will happen by waters and continuous rains, as I have in full drawn
up in writing my other prophecies which are composed all along " in clear ", delimiting the places,
the times and the term fixed that the humans that will come after will
see, in full knowledge, the adventures infallibly
came to pass. As we have indicated it for the others expressed more clearly
(although recovered by a cloud, will be understood by intelligent men
: " but when the time will
come when ignorance must be dissipated ", the affair will become clear).
(To conclude, my son, accept this gift from your father Michel de Nostredame, hoping to give you the span of
each of the prophecies of the quatrains presented here) Praying the
immortal God that he will want to lend you long life, in good and
prosperous felicity.. From Salon, this first day of
March 1555. >>>> Comments and interpretation : Michel

and on 1999.......
L'an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept
mois Du ciel viendra un grand Roy deffraieur Resusciter le grand Roy
d'Angolmois. Avant apres Mars regner par bon heur.
Whatever this verse is about, it is not (as most
translations claim - to much justified public alarm) 'a great King of
terror'. Not as it stands, at least. The last word in line
2, which only acquired an apostrophe (thus making
it 'd'effraieur') in corrupt subsequent editions, means 'defraying' or
even 'buying off'. The expression 'du ciel'
('of/from heaven' or 'of/from the sky') suggests,
as elsewhere in the Propheties, that this big-spending or even appeasing
ruler has some kind of divine authority. Far from
being some kind of Antichrist,then, the figure concerned looks
rather like the Pope himself. In fact comparative horoscopy suggests
that he is to be 'another Pope Gregory
the Great' (who in fact came from Rome's Mons Caelius [='du ciel'again!]).
'Angolmois' (actually a region in western France) is generally
supposed to be ananagram for 'Mongolois',
though its first half is also an anagram for the first half of
'Langobardi' - the 'Lombards' who invaded Italy in the 6th century,
during Gregory's pontificate. 'Viendra
. . . resusciter' is a standard Nostradamian form of future tense,
as is 'regner'. 'Resusciter' itself (from Latin 're+sub+citare')
originally meant 'to stir up again' -
and Nostradamus and his contemporaries were very prone to use classical
words in their original senses.
As for 'par bon heur', this means not 'happily'
(as many versions would have it) but 'by good luck'.The gist therefore
seems to be that in July 1999 a possibly appeasing Pope will in
some way stir up a leader with Mongol (or
possibly Lombard) connections (some French observers prefer to take
the word 'Angolmois' literally, and refer it to the former Fran*ois
I, who was duke of Angoul*me), with the
result that a previously-raging war may or may not accidentally
flare up again. Lemesurier's latest suggested freeish
translation therefore reads (in verse, as any proper translation
should):
When 1999 is seven months o'er Shall
Heaven's great Ruler, anxious to appease, Stir up the Mongol-Lombard
king once more And war reign haply where it once did cease.
The exact context, though, (and thus the final
interpretation) depends on successfully identifying the other verses
that go with it.An alternative, more 'purist' version might read:
When 1999 is seven months o'er Shall
Heaven's great Prince, so willing to defray, Revive the king from
Angoumois once more And former war perchance resume its sway.
... in which case line 3 would instead suggest
that the then Pope will in some way encourage 'a new King Fran*ois
I of France' to take up again a war previously undertaken by the original one. (taken from newsgroup FAQ ©

Mabus plus tost alors mourra,

Mabus then will soon die, there will
come A horrible undoing of people and animals: At once vengeance one
will see vengeance, One hundred hands, thirst, famine, when the comet
will run.
Peter Lemesurier's Interpretation
>>> Not some kind of Antichrist, but a simple
'reincarnation' of the painter Mabuse.(Jan Gossaert de Mabuse,the
Flemish painter, died on October 1st
1532)"...... "Thus, the prediction would seem to suggest that, following
the death of a prominent painter, a battle will take place in October
2002 to the south of Lisbon during which
invading Muslim forces (presumably from North Africa) will be
dramatically pushed back and their invasion stalled for a while.
A comet will mark the event.
Erika Cheetham's Interpretation >>>>
Nostradamus mentions a comet together with destruction and war. The
"hundred hands" is evocative of the many refugee camps all over the world, where people are suffering from thirst
and hunger. When Halley's Comet passed in 1986 there were famines in
Africa, the Far East and South America. Is
Mabus the name, possible an anagram, of the Third Antichrist to come?
Ms. Cheetham believes it more likely that he is envisaged as a
forerunner, so the time of the Antichrist is
still awaited. [From: The Final Prophecies of Nostradamus by Erika
Cheetham]
John Hogue's Interpretation >>>
Nostradamus' Third Antichrist has yet to be positively identified. In
contrast with his certainty about Napoleon and Hitler, Nostradamus
is less clear who this third tyrant is. Perhaps this is an example
of his prophetic myopia that enabled him to be clearest about events
of local or European history. When contemplating future events in more distant
lands, the prophet's vision tends to be cloudier. What does come through
clearly is the fact that this Third and final
Antichrist is not a prominent European leader.
He may even be a minor
player in a future conflict, an insignificant terrorist such as Gavrilo
Princip, the Serbian nationalist who
assassinated Archduke Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo, triggering World
War I. The man we know as Mabus may be some obscure future
terrorist who, if he is not identified and
restrained in time, will trigger World War III and the extinction of
civilization as we have known it. The time we have left to
positively decode who or what Mabus is, and
how to prevent the foretold terrible destiny, may already have passed.
The final line could date the beginning of his
legacy of terror
around the time of the appearance of Halley's Comet
(1985-86), the collision of the comet Shoemaker-Levi (1994), or the
comet Hale-Bopp (1997), which appeared right
at the millennium of the Jewish lunar calendar. Mabus could be a
cryptogram for Thurbo Majus, the classical Roman name given to the
infernal god of Hannibal, or a cryptogram for
Megabyzus, one of several conspirators who overthrew a Zoroastrian
priest who had usurped the throne of Persia. An argument could be made
that upon this classical foundation,
Nostradamus is building a prophecy for the near-future debacle of Saddam
Hussein from within, by a Persian (Iranian) ally. Try this experiment: Take a piece of paper and write "SAddAM." Hold
it in front of a mirror. The mysterious Mabus could be one of dozens
of Saddam Hussein's more sophisticated Al Abbas
versions of his Scud missiles. Mabus therefore becomes a weapon launched
by the Antichrist in a surprise attack. It "will soon die" in the
flames of its own successful explosion after
its supersonic journey. [From: Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies

Nicholas of Fluh (15th
Century)
: "The Church will be punished because the majority of her
members, high and low, will become so perverted. The Church will sink
deeper and deeper until she will at last seem
to be extinguished, and the succession of Peter and the other Apostles
to have expired.".
Sir Issac Newton
1642-1727
: "Our society is built upon the observation of repetitive
phenomena which recur as we anticipate them, and we tend to exclude from
our 'logic' those phenomena which are not
repetitive, or whose cycles are difficult to ascertain. We prize and use
electricity even though we cannot understand what it is, because it is
predictable.Prophecy is unacceptable until the
prophet has been proven accurate. Fact and prediction may organize our
lives, but prophecy opens up the mystery and essence of life."
"About the time of the end, a body of men will
be raised up who will turn their attention to the Prophecies, and
insist upon their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamor and opposition."
"Seventy weeks are cut out upon thy people and
upon thy holy city, to finish trans gression, etc. Here, by putting
a week for seven years, are reckoned 490 years from, the time the dispersed Jews should be re-incorporated into
a people and a holy city, until the death and resurrection of Christ;
whereby transgression should be finished, and
sins ended, iniquity be expiated, and everlasting righteousness brought
in and this Vision be accomplished and the Prophet consummated,
that Prophet whom the Jews expected; and
whereby the the most Holy should be anointed, he who is therefore in the
next words called the Anointed, that is, the Messiah, or the Christ. For by joining the acconplishment of the
vision with the expiation of sins, the 490 years are ended with the
death of Christ."
"Now the dispersed Jews became a people and city
when they first returned...in the seventh year of Artaxerxes Longimanus
when Ezra returned with a body of Jews from
captivity, and revived the Jewish worship; ....to judge & govern the
people according to the laws of God & the King, Ezra vii.25 There
were but two returns from captivity,
Zerubbabel's and Ezra's; in Zerubbabel's they had only the commission to
build the Temple, in Ezra's they first became a city by a government of
their own. Now the years of this
Artaxerxes...was in the year (458 B.C.) Count the time from thence to
the death of Christ, and you will find it just 490 years."
"And in half a week he shall cause the sacrifice
and oblation to cease; that is, by the war of the Romans upon the
Jews: which war, after some commotions, began in the
13th year of Nero , A.D. 67, in the Spring when Vespasian with an army
invaded them; and ended in the second year of Vespasian, A.D. 70, in
autumn, September 7 when Titus took the city,
having burnt the Temple 27 days before: so that it lasted three years
and an half."
"Thus have we in this short Prophecy, a prediction
of all the main periods re lating to the coming of the Messiah; the
time of his birth, that of his death, that of the rejection of the Jews, the duration of the Jewish war
whereby he caused the city and sanctuary to be destroyed, and the time
of his second coming: and so the interpretation here given is more full and complete and
adequate to the design, than if we should restrain it to his first
coming only, as Interpreters usually do. We avoid also the doing violence to the language of Daniel, by
taking the 7 weeks and 62 weeks for one number. Had that been Daniel's
meaning, he would have said sixty and nine
weeks, and not seven weeks and sixty two weeks, a way of numbering used
by no nation."
Fr. Nectou, S.J.
(1760)
: " Two parties will be formed in France which will make a
war . One will be much more numerous than the other, but it will be
weakest which will triumph. one will believe
oneself at the end of the world. Blood will stream in several large
cities, the elements will be raised, it will be like a small judgement.
A great multitude Will perish in this
catastrophe , but the malicious ones will not prevail. They will try to
destroy the church, but they will not be given time for it. Because this
horrible period will be of short duration. At
the time when one will believe everything lost, all will be saved
"
" During this terrible upheaval which, it appears,
will be general and not only for France, Paris will be entirely destroyed.
The destruction will be so compl*te that, twenty years after, fathers will walk with their children
on its ruins, and to satisfy their questions, they will tell them " my
son, there was here a large city, God destroyed it because of its crimes ".
You will be close to this catastrophe when England
starts to shake. You will know it with signs , as one knows the approach
of summer when the fig tree starts to bud.
England in its turn will be tested by a revolution
more terrible than the French revolution, and it will last long enough
so that France has time to reserect itself. It will be France which will help England with the re-establishment of
peace. When one is close to these events which must bring the triumph of
the Church, the disorder will be so complete
that you will know nothing any more. When the moment comes for the last
crisis, there will be nothing other to do but remain where God will have
placed us, to contain themselves in its
interior and to request, while waiting for the passage of anger and
justice divine.
Following these dreadful events, all will re-enter
in the order, justice will be done with everyone; the counter-revolution
will be consumed. Then the triumph of the Church will be you el that there will never have been the
similar one of it. The happy Christians who will have survived will
thank God for having preserved them for such a
complete triumph of the Church.
Misfortunes must arrive. Blood will run in
torrents in North and the South. The West will be saved because of its
faith. But blood will run so much in North and the South, that I see it running like the rain in one day of
great storm, and I see the horses treading blood upto thier straps. It
is mainly in the cities that blood will run.
The religion will be persecuted, the ministers
will be obliged to hide at least temporarily. The churches will be
closed a short time...
Paris will be destroyed in the middle of all these
calamities, so destroyed that the charm will pass there. At this
point in time all will be saved, because between the cry "
All is lost " and " All is saved ", it will so to
speak not have there intervals - time to transfer a wafer.
The foreign powers will be armed, will go against
France. Russia will come to water its horses in the Rhine, but they will
not pass it... Russia will convert and it will help France to
return peace and peace in the whole world...
After the crisis, there will be a general council,
in spite of some oppositions made by the clergy itself. Then,there will
one herd and that only one Pasteur, because all infideles and all heretics (but not the Jews whose mass
will convert only after the death of the beast), will return in the
Latin Church, whose triumph will be continuos until the destruction of the
Antichrist.
Richard Noone
: "The continent of ice at the South Pole is now larger than
the United States and Canada combined. As it continues to grow, pressure
from the ice on the crust of the Earth will
lead to tectonic plate movement, increasing the number of earthquakes
and volcanic disasters world-wide," he said. When the planets align with
Earth, they will significantly increase the
centrifugal momentum exerted on the Earth's crust. "On that day, the
ever-growing ice build up at the South Pole will upset the Earth's
axis, sending trillions of tonnes of ice and
water sweeping over the surface of our planet."

but at the end of this century America will be destroyed economically
