the malediction of Pope Benedict, who
will he elected at the beginning of the
reign of Antichrist. In order to con-
ouer Antichrist it will be necessary to
kill more men than Rome has ever con-
tanned 1t will need the energies of all
the 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 prayer and vows
of the human race.
Never has humanity been faced with
such peril because the triumph of the
Antichrist would be that of the demon
who will have taken possession of his
personality.
For it has been said that twenty GEN.
turies after the incarnation OF the word,
the beast will be incarnate in his turn,
and will menace the world with as many
evils as the Divine incarnation has
brought it graces.
Toward the year 1000 Antichrist will
be made manifest. His army will en-
pass in number anything that can be
| imagined. There will be Christians
among the cohorts, and there Will be
Mohammedans among the defenders of
the Lamb, as well as some heather SOL
diers.
For the first time the Lamb will be red,
for blood will flow in the dominions of
the four quarters at once.
The black eagle will hurl itself 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.
n~lo Ia
north. The black eagle will find itself fore
ed to let 90 of 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 to aid the white
eagle.
The battles fought up to thai time will
be nothing as compared to that which
will take place in the Lutheran country.
When the beast finds himself lost he
will become furious
Men will be able to cross the river over
the bodies of the dead.
Antichrist will sue for peace many
times, but the seven angels who march
before three animals of the Lamb, will
have proclaimed that victory will not be
given except on the condition that Anti
christ shall be crushed like straw on the
threshing floor.
The three animals will not be permitted
to cease fighting as long as Antichrist
has soldiers.
It will be made manifest that the COM
bat which will be fought out in that part
of the country in which Antichrist FORCES
his arm is no human conflict
The animal defenders of the Lamb will
exterminate the last army of Antichrist.
Antichrist will lose his crown and will
die in solitude and madness. His empire
will be divided into twenty-five states,
but none will have any longer any fortifi-
cations, army or ships of war
The white eagle by order of Micheal
will drive the Crescent out of Europe,
where there will no longer be any but
Christians. He will install himself in
Constantinople.
