MONKS PROPHECY IN YEAR 1900
SEEMS IN WAY TO BE
FULFILLED.
RELATES TO WORLDS WAR
Many People, After Studying His
Story. Believe That What He
Said, Years Ago, Is BEING
Enacted Now.

1
most remarkable is that of monk
named Brother John or Johannes, who
lived about the year 1900.
His forecast points to the events of
ness. "The black eagle from the land
of Luther" and "the white eagle from
the north, who will fall upon the black
and the other eagle" seem to refer I'M
mistakably to the war of Germany and
Austria against Russia. Many other
illusions are equally startling.
There is no doubt that this is gen.
uine ancient document. 1t was pub
lished in Paris shortly after the out
break of the war by NJ Peladan, a
French literary man of high reputa-
ton, who gave it's history since the six
teenth century. Some of it's most
startling passages are given here.
The Real Antichrist.
The real Antichrist will be one of
the monarchs of his time, a Lutheran
Protestant. He will invoke God and
give himself out as his Messenger Tor
apostle).
This prince of lies will swear by the
I Bible. He will represent himself as
the arm of the Most High, sent to
chastise corrupt peoples.
| He will only have one arm, but his
innumerable armies, who will take for
their device the words God with u.s."
will resemble the Internal legions.
For long time he will act by craft
and strategy. His spies will overrun
the earth, and he will be master of the
secrets of the mighty.
| He will have learned men in his pay
who will maintain, and undertake to
prove, his celestial mission.
| A war will furnish him with the op-
portunity of throwing off the mask.
1t will not be in the first instance
war which he will wage against
French monarch. But it will be one
of such nature that after two weeks
all will realize it's universal character.
Not only all Christians and all Mus
selmans, but even other more distant
peoples will be involved. Armies will
be enrolled from the four quarters of
the globe.
For, by the third week, the angels
will have opened the minds of men,
who will perceive that the man is An
! tichrist and that they will all become
his slaves If they do not overthrow
this conqueror
Antichrist will be recognized by var
ious tokens; in especial he will massa-
ere the priests, the monks, the women,
the children, and the aged. He will
show no mercy, but will pass, torch
in hand, like the barbarians, but invok-
ing Christ!
His words Of imposture will resem-
BILE those Of Christians, but his actions
will be those of Nero and of the Ro-
man prosecutors. He will have an
eagle in his arms, and there will be an
eagle also in the arms of his confed-
crate, another bad monarch.
| In order to conquer Antichrist it will
be necessary to kill more men than
Rome has ever contained. It will need
the energies of all the kingdoms, be-
cause the cock, the leopard, and the
white eagle will not be able to make
an end Of the black eagle without the
aid of the prayers and voice of all
the human race.
Never will humanity have been faced
with such a peril, because the tri-
umph of Antichrist would be that of
the demon, who will have taken pos
session of his personality.
| Black, White and Red Eagle.
The black eagle, who will come from
the land of Luther, will make a sur
prise attack on the cock from another
side, and will invade the land of the
cock up to one-half.
The white eagle who will come from
the north will fall upon the black and
the other eagle, and completely invade
the land of Antichrist.
The black eagle will find itself fore
ed to let go the cock in order to fight
the white eagle, whereupon the cock
will have to pursue the black eagle in
, to the land of Antichrist to aid the
white eagle.
The battles fought up to that time
will be as nothing compared with
those which will take place in the Luz
theran country; for the seven angels
will simultaneously pour out the fire
of their censers upon the impious land
In other words, the Lamb ordains the
determination Of the race of Anti
christ.
Men will be able to cross the rivers
over the bodies of the dead, which in
places will change the courses of the
streams. Only the bodies of the most
noble, the highest captains and the
princes, will be buried; for to the car
mage of the battlefields will be added
the destruction of myriads who will
die from hunger and pestilence.
1t will be made manifest that the
combat, to be fought out in that part
of the country in which Antichrist for
ges his arms, Is no human conflict.
