300 Prophecy


A publication called Omens OF the
Great War calls attention to a proph-t
ecy by Brother Johannes and written
about 800 years ago. Merely as a.
bit of interesting reading it is here
with reproduced. In deciphering the
allegory it must be remembered that
France Is represented by a cock, Eng
land by a leopard, Russia by a white
eagle, Germany by q black eagle, and
Austria by the other eagle" while
the lamb stands for justice and mercy
and truth. AS interpreted by the re-
cent commentator, 1T predicts the
eventual crushing of Germany, which
is in direct conflict with the opinions
of all Of those who believe. Germany
to have had ample justification for its
part in the war:
There VIII be ChMistians among
the legions and there will be Ma
shometans ard savage soldiers among
the defenders of the lamb.
For the first time the lamb WIN
be all red. There will not be a sin,
gle spot in the Christian world that
will not be red, and red will be the
heavens, the earth, the waters, and
even the air, for blood will flow in
the domains of the four elements :at
once.
The ablack eagle will throw Nm-
self on the cock, who will lose many
feathers, but viii strike back hero
ically with his spurs. He soon would
be crushed were it not for the help
of the leopard and his claws.
The black eagle will come from
the country OF Luther, will surprise
the cock from ranother side, AND gwnl
invade the country OF the cock up
ito the middle fof It.
saThe white eagle, coming from the
north, will surprise the eagle and
the other eagle and win invade the
country of the Antichrist from one
end I o another.
s'The black eagle viii see himself
forced to liberate the cock i'm order
ito fight the white eagle, and the cock
will pursue the black eagle into the
country Of the Antichrist TO help the
white eagle
..e,The battles fought up to then viii
be as nothing compared to those
which will take place in the country
of Luther, for the W. angels VIII
together pour in the fire Of their cen
sers on the inpious earth, which sig
nifies that the lamb VIII order the es
termination Of the race Of Antichrist
