THE PROPHECY

A"Seyeral times has one seemed to
recognize him, because all the slayers
of the Lamb resemble each other and
all the wicked are the precursors of
the Great Wicked One.
THE vertible Antichrist will be
one of the monarchs of his time, a son
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 chasing cor
rupted people.
''He will have only one arm. but
his innumerable armies, who will take
as their motto God is with us will
seem like internal legions.
For a long time he will act by
ruse and treason; his spies will spread
all over the earth. and he will be
master of the secrets of those in
power.
He will have theologians in his
pay to certify and prove his clestial
mission.
"A war will furnish him with the
reason for lifting the mask. 1t will
not be one which he will make against
the French monarch. but another
which will be easily recognized by
the fact that In two weeks time 1t
Will have become universal.
1t will call to arms all Christians,
all Mohamentans, and even other very
distant peoples. Armies will be form
ed in the four parts of the world.
For mems minds will be opened
by the angels and in the third week
they will understand that this is the
Antichrist. and that they will all be-
come slaves II they do not trample
down this conquering one.
To Show No Mercy
THE Antichrist will be recognized
by several marks; 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 in
voking 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. and there shall also
be one in that of his confederate. the
other wicked monarch.
But this one is a Christian. and
he will die cursed by the Pope Bene-
dictus who will be elected at the be.
ginning of the reign of the Antichrlst.
Priests and monks will no longer
be seen confessing and absolving the
combatants, because for the first time
priests and monks will fight with the
other citizens, and also because Pope
Benedictus, having cursed the Anti
christ, 1t will be proclaimed tina. all
those that wage war against him will
be in state of grace. and should they
die, will, like martyrs, go straight
to heaven.
"The Pope's Bull proclaiming there
things will make great sensation
and will cause the death of the mon.
arch, the Antichrist's ally.
Slaughter of Mankind
In order to conquer the Anti
christ, more men must be killed thar
Rome ever held. 1t will require al
effort from all the lands, for the
Cock, the Leopard and the White
Eagle would not suffice to overcome
the Black Eagle II they were MOI
helped by the prayers and devotion ot
all the human race.
Never before has humanity beer
in such peril. for the triumph of the
Antichrist would be that of Demon
in whom he is incarnated.
For it has been said that twent,
centuries after the incarnation of the
Word the Beast in his turn would bt
incarnated. and would threaten the
earth with as many evils as the Di
vine Incarnation had brought 4
graces.
Near the year 1000 the Antichris
will appear, his army will surpass II
numbers anything heretofore imagin
ed, there will be Christians among
the hordes. and among the defenders
