The End of the WOrld-A Lively
and Interesting Programme for !
the Next Eight Years.
A new Canadian book of the prophetic |
sensation order is thus sketched by De-
troit paper:
''Coming wonders, expected between 1867
and 1876" are fearful to contemplate, if the
prediction thereof can be at all relied upon
The data of the prophecy are found, as they
always are, in the book of Daniel and the
Revelations. In the first place, Louis Ma
poleon is. it appears, the slast head of the
Roman Empire" Among other proofs is
the fact that the term Louis in Latin is
Ludoyicus, and the numbers corresponding
to the letters of that name are II--50-u w
4-d 5000 v Al 1-c 100-u 5-s-666
that the Greek dative Napoleonti in an
equally ingenious manner, gives 666, and
that Louis Napoleon Bonaparte in Hebrew
also makes 666. But there is also an ident-
ity between Napoleon and the Greek from
Apoleon, and the Greek word mai or truly;
hence Napoleon is the "True Appolyon."r
Now 666 is the number of the Wild Beast
in Revelation xiii, 8, z. Hence the present
Emperor of the French is the last head of
the Roman Empire, who is soon to make a
seven years covenant with the Jews. Then,
he is to absorb the ten European kingdoms,
being the ten horned beasts of the 'sprophe-
"A
tant will arise, the Jewish temple will be
restored, and the sanctuary cleansed for
| Christ's coming. These are the wonders of
the first year. In the second year there
will be an increased activity of the three
| frog-like demon spirits of which perhaps
the Connections election is the commence
ment and Jesuitical propagandiSm; Napo
leon will make war upon Egypt and con-
quor it; the Turkish Empire will be dis
solved, and "the four horn Kingdoms of
Greece, Egypt, Syria and Thrace be re-es--
tablished. 'Ha ~" i,.t
The third year opens with the resurrec-
| tion of all the deceased saints, who, with
144,0O0 watchful Christians are to be caught
up together into heaven. This will be fol-
lowed by an unparalleled religious revival
and in successive years hail and fire, min
1 gled with blood, are to scorch third of
the earth. Michael and Satan are TO renew
their war, the Christians are to flee to a
wilderness and be miraculously supported
for three years and a half, then eight
months of universal war, third of the sea
to become blood, third of the rivers, and
even lake tunnels, likethat of Chicago, can
not save the numerous victims of this inn
pure water, third of the sun, moon and
stars are to be eclipsed (nothing, it will be
observed, is to be done by halves). Napo-
leon is to unite under himself the ten king
doms of Great Britain, France, Spain, It
ally, Algeria, Tripolia, Egypt. Greece,
Syria and Turkey. Napoleon will cap
ture Jerusalem, and commence a gen.
eral prosecution of Christians, and con-
tiscate the Romanish church property,
institute public worship of his image. i'm
, print his name on peoples foreheads and
, hands, then famine for eighteen months. a
great smoke for three weeks, five months
, of locusts, horsemen and horses breathing
birthstone (Which, let us hope, will eXter-
t inmate the rheumatism and a popular
t complaint of Scotland), with various sores
) and fountains of blood, and the battle o.
, Armageddon, and earthquakes, and va.
riety of other agreeable experiences which
keep men in an exceedingly lively anG
disturbed condition for seven years.
