viii be made manifest. His army will
surpass in number anything that can
be imagined There will be chris
tians among his cohorts and there
will be Mohammedans among the de-
tenders of the Lamb, as well as some
heather soldiers.
For the first time the Lamb will
be red-for blood will flow in the
domain of the four elephants at once.
1.-THE Black Eagle will hurl itsell
upon the Cock, which will lose many
feathers. 1t will soon be exhausted
but for the Leopard and its claws.
''The Black Eagle. who will come
from the land of Luther. will make
a surprise attack upon the Cock.
THE White Eagle win come from
the north.
1.-THE Black Eagle will find itself
forced to let go the Cock in order TO
fight the White Eagle. whereupon the
Cock, which will lose the Black Eagle
into the land Of the Antichrist 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
county.
when the beast finds himself lost,
he will become furious.
Men will be able to cross the
rivers over the bodies of the dead.
"Anichrist will sue for peace many
times, but the seven angels. who
march before three animals Of the
Lamb, will have proclaimed that vic
tory will not be given except as on
the conditions that Antichrist shall
be crushed like straw on the thresh-
ing floor.
1.-THE three animals will not be
permitted to cease fighting as long
as Antichrist has soldiers.
ut will be made manifest that the
combat, which will be fought out in
that part of the country In which
Antichrist FORCES his terms, is no
human conflict. The animal defend
ers of the Lamb will exterminate the
last army of Antichrist.
"Antichrist will lose his crown and
die in solitude and madness. His en-
pire will be divided into twenty-five
states, but none will have any longer
any Notifications, army or ships Of
war.
1.-THE White Eagle. by order Of
Michael, will drive the Crescent out
of Europe, where there will be no
longer any but christians He will
install himself at Constantinople."
