WORLD WAR FORTOLD BACK
IN 18TH CENTURY BY MONK
WORST SLAUGHTER YET TO
COME ACCORDING TO PROPHECY


Predicts Kaiser Will Lose Crown and
Die Demented and AIone-Empire
to be DiVided-Peace to Follow
This prophesy by Father Johannes,
French monk supposed to have lived
in the Sixteenth Century, is startling
in view of the tragic events IN Europe
in the last three years. The world
war is foretold with an exactness that
tends to shatter ones belief in the
antiquity of the prophesy. The crush
ing of Germany, to be followed by
everlasting peace, is yet to be full
filled. This most interesting document
was found among the papers of the
late Adrian Peladan, author of hook
on prophesies and editor of periodical,
Annals of the Supernatural. His
father got it from a monk of ST.
Micheal de Frigolet de Tarascon who
got it from Able Donat. an aged and
very learned priest. In deciphering
the prophesy it must be remembered
that France is represented by a cock /;
England by leopard; Russia by a
white eagle; Germany by the black
eagle; Austria by 1.-THE other eagle. !"
The Lamb stands for Justice, mercy
and truth. The following is the full
text of the prophesy:
Text of His Remarkable Prophesy:
"Several times one has seemed to
recognize him, because all the slayers
of the Lamb resemble one another,
and all the wicked ones are the pre-
cursers of the Great Wicked One.
1.-THE veritable Anti Christ will be
one of the monarchs of his time son
of Luther, he will invoke God and call
himself His messenger.
"The Prince of lies will swear by
the Bible, he will call himself the
arm of the Most High chastising cor
rupted people.
He will have only one arm, but
his innumersble armies, who will take
for their motto God is with u.s. will
seem like internal egions.
"For long time he will act by
ruse and treason; his spies will spread
over all the earth, and he will be the
master of the secrets of those in
power.
'He will have theologians in his
pay to certify and prove his celestial
mission.
A war will furnish him with the
excuse for lifting the mask. 1t will
not be the one which he makes against
the French monarch, but another
which will be essily recognized by
the fact that in two weeks it will
have become universal.
1t will call to arms all Christians,
all Mohamedans and even other very
distant peoples. Armies will be
formed in the four parts of the world.
For mems minds will be opened
by angels and in the third week they
will understand that this is the Anti
Christ, and that they will all become
slaves if they do not trample down this
conquering one.
Ant-Christ to be Recognized by Signs
1.-The Anti Christ will be recogniz
able by several signs; he will chiefly
massacre priests, monks, women, chill
dren and old people. He will show
no mercy; he will pass along holding
a torch like the barbarians, but invok-
the name of Christ.
''His false words will resemble
those of Christians. but his acts will
be those of Nero and the Roman per.
secutors; there will be an eagle in
his coat of arms snd in that of his
confederate, the other wicked mon-
arch.
but this one is Christian (Cath.
olic) and he will die cursed by the
Pope Benedictus who will be elected
at the beginning of the reign of the
Anti Christ.
"Priests and monks will be no lon
ger seen cOnfessing and absolving the
combatants because for the first
time priests and monks will fight with
the other citizens, and also because

cock.
"The white eagle which will come
from the north, will surprise the black
eagle and the other eagle and will
completely invade the land of the
Anti-Christ from one end to the other.
1.-THE black eagle will be forced to
leave the cock to fight the white eagle
and the cock will pursue the black
eagle into the land of the Anti Christ
to help the white eagle.
