PROPHECY OF
AnTlcnRlsT
Remarkable Document Written in 1900
BY Brother Johannes.

The Globe on July 10, 1915, first
printed the remarkable document be-
low, which was published in the Paris
Figaro and is a prophecy written in
1000 by a monk whose name was
Brother Johannes So many requests
have come from Globe readers for its
reproduction that it is given again
herewith:
The veritable Antichrist will be a
monarch of his time, son of Luther,
he will invoke Gods name, and pro-
of His will take his oath on the Bible,
and will exploit himself as the arm of
the Most High, sent to chastis the cor
rupted people of the world. He will
be one-armed, but his army, which
will be as the sands of the seashore,
will take for their device, God with
u.s." For long while he will carry
out his policy by ruse or by felony;
his spies will cover the countries of
the world, he will be master of the
DEGREES of the powerful.
He will have in his pay doctors and
professors, who will prove and certify
his celestial mission. War will give
him an opportunity to disclose him
self. This will not be made against
French wing, but another we'll
known, and it will be so violent that
in two weeks the conflict will become
universal. 1t will draw in all Chris
tian people, Mussulmans, and even
men from distant lands.
The armies will gather from the
four quarters OF the world, for the
angels will open the souls of men, and
in the third week they will realize that
Antichrist has come and that slavery
will be the fate of the conquered. He
will be recognized by several traits.
He will massacre, above all, priests,
monks, women, children, and old men.
To none will he show mercy. Torch
in hand, he will pass like savage,
invoking the name of Christ, and,
while his words are those of Chris
tan, his acts will be the acts of Nero
and his Roman prosecutors.
He will have an eagle for his arms,
and an eagle will be the crest of his
accomplice, the other wicked monarch.
This latter, however, is Christian,
and will die with the curse of Pope
Benedictus, who will be elected at the
outbreak of Antichrist.
No more will priest and monk con-
TESS and absolve the combatants; for
the first time in the worlds history
they will take their place in the COM
bat with other citizens and Pope Bene-
dictus having pronounced his maledic-
ton upon Antichrist, his holiness will
proclaim that those who fall in battle
will rise as martyrs.
The bell will resound throughout the
world, giving courage to the soldiers,
and sounding the knell of Antichrist's
accomplice. To vanquish Antichrist
will require more men than Rome ever
held. The efforts of every kingdom,
''the cock" the leopard" and the
white eagle" will not avail, without
the prayers of the Christian world
assist them. Never will the human
race have met so great peril, for the
triumph of Antichrist would be the
victory of the devil.
1t will come to pass in the twentieth
century, after the incarnation of the
Word, that the beast will menace the
earth with it's scourge. Toward the
two-thousandth year the great army of
Antichrist, numbering in its ranks
some who are Christians, will oppose
the armies of the Lamb, with whom
will fight Mohammedans and Savage"
soldiers. All will be blood red, the
Nth Dir
for blood will flow in all the elements.
The "black eagle" will hurl itself
against the cock" and rob it of many
plumes, but the cock" will fight gal
lantly with it's talons. 1t would be
crushed but for the claws of the "leop-
ard" The "black eagle" will surprise
and invade the land of the "cock, 7"
covering almost half of it's territory,
while the white eagle" in it's turn
will overrun the realm of Antichrist
from boundary to boundary. Then the
"black eagle" will be forced to leave
the "cock," to engage the white
eagle; the cock" will pursue it to
give aid to it's ally. When the "black
eagle" sees all is lost it will grow
furious, and the white eagles" beak,
the "leopard's" claw, and the cocks
talons will be buried in it's flesh.
Rivers will run blood, and only the
princes and the great captains will be
buried. The dead piled high, will seem
like hills and divert the streams from
their course. In the carnage the
brave will fall. and those who survive
the battle will succumb to pestilence
and famine. Several times will Anti
christ seek to make peace, but the
seven angels that march before the
Lamb have decreed that only with
his determination can peace be re-
stored. "He shall be crushed like a
straw under the fail" He shall lose
his crown, and his kingdom shall be
split into twenty-five states, and none
shall possess either arms, or ship, or
stronghold
The white eagle" shall trace the
