Note-The following prophecy bv
the Monk Fratre Johannes, who lived
about the year 1900, is remarkable. in
its application to the present world
crisis. The authenticity of this proph-
ecy was at first doubted because of
a few discrepancies in the text, but
the matter was referred to the news
paper information bureau at Wash
ington, and Director Frederic ]. Has
kins replied as follows:
I'm reply to your letter asking
whether the prophecy by the Monk
Fratre Johannes, is real, we would
say that this prophecy was discov-
cred in old parchment in the Convent
of the Holy Ghost, at Wismar, in
Germany, and is kept under glass
in the town hall of this city. There
have been numerous translations
which text vary somewhat. We are
returning your copy of this prophecy.
The discrepancies which we noted,
and which you also may notice, are
probably due to the variation-of the
translations of the text. On the whole
it is remarkable prophecy. 1t is as
follows:
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.
or apostle.
This prince of lies will swear by the
Bible. He will represent himself as
the arm of the Most High, sent to
chastise corrupt peoples.
He will have only one arm, but his
lnnumerable armies, who will take
for their device the words, God is
with us, will resemble the Internal
regions.
For a 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 afford him the opportun-
ity Of throwing off the mask. 1t will
not be in the first instance a war
which he will wage against French
monarch. But it will be one of such
nature that after two weeks all will
realize its universal character.
Not only all Christians, but Mussel-
mans and even more distant peoples
will be involved. Armies will be in
Volved from the four quarters of the
earth.
For by the third week the angels
will perceive that the man is Anti |
christ and that all will become his |
slaves if they do not overthrow this |
cOnqueror.
Antichrist will be recognized by |
various tokens-in special he will |
massacre 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 invoking Christ.
His words of imposture will re-
semble those of Christians, but his
VOWS of all the human race.
He will have an eagle in his arms.
there will also be an eagle in the
arms of his confederate. But the lat
ter will be a Christian, and will die
from the malediction of Pope Benedict
who will be elected at the beginning
of the reign of Antichrist.
In order to conquer Antichrist, it
will be necessary to kill more men
than Rome ever contained. 1t will
need the energies of, all kingdoms,
because 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 the vows of
the human race.
Never will humanity have been
faced with such a pe4l because the
triumph of the Antichrist would be
that OF the, demon, who will have TAX
en- possession of his personality.
For it has been said that twenty
centuries after the incarnation of the
Word the beast will be incarnated in
his turn and will menace the world
with as many evils as the Divine In
carnation has brought it graces.
Towards the 1000 Antichrist will
be made manifest. His army will
surpass in number anything that can
be imagined. There will be Christians
among his cohorts and there will be |
Mohammedans among the defenders
of the Lamb as well as some heather |
soldiers.
For the first time the Lamb will be
blood will flow in the do
mains of the four elephants at once.
The Black Eagle will hurI itself up
on the Cock, which will lose many
feathers. 1t will soon be exhausted,
but for the Leopard and its claw.
The Black Eagle, who will come
from the land of Luther, will make y,
a surprise attack upon the Cock.
The White Eagle will come from Y
the north. {
The Black Eagle will find itself !
forced to let go the Cock in order to
fight the White Eagle, whereupon the
Cock will have to pursue the Black
Eagle into the land of the Antichrist G
to aid the White Eagle
The battles fought up to that time
will BE- as nothing compared to that
which will take place in the Lutheran

When the beast finds himself lost, 4
he will become furious.
Men will be able to cross the rivers
over the bodies of the dead.
Antichrist will sue for peace many e
times, but the seven angels, Who'll D

1t will be made manifest that the b
