THE KAISER
PROPHECY MADE IN 1600 PREDICTS HIS COMING END 'A' part of an extraordinary Latin prophecy made by Brother Johannes in the year 1600 is quoted ( s »ys the Lon-' don "Evening Standard") in a recent issue of "The Figaro." In deciphering the allegory it must bo remembered that France is represented by a cock, Britain by a, leopard, Russia by a white eagle, Germany br a black eagle, and Austria by the other eagle, while the lamb stands' for justice, mercy, and truth. Towards the year 2000 the anti-Christ will manifest himself. His army will' surpass in number all that can he imagined. There will be Christians among his legions, and there will be Mohammedans and savage soldiers among the defenders' of the lamb. Battle of Eagles. For the first time the lamb will be all red, there will not be a single spot in the Christian world that will not be red, and red will be the heavens, the earth, the waters, and even the air,, for blood will flow, in the domains of the four elements at once. ' The black eagle will throw himself on the cock, who will lose many feathers, but will strike baok heroically with his spurs. He soon would be crushed were it not for the help of the leopard and his claws. The black eagle will come from the country of Luther, will surprise the cook from another side, and will invade' the country of the cock up to the middle of it. The white eagle, coming from, the north, will (surprise the black eagle and the other eagle, and will invade the country of the anti-Christ from one end to another. The black eagle will see himself forced to liberate the cock in order to fight the white eagle, and the cock will pursue the black eagle into the country of the anti-Christ to help the white eagle. ,The battles' fought up to then will be as nothing compared to those which will take place in the country of Luther, for the ■ seven angels will together pour in the fire of their.censers on the impious earth, which signifies that the lamb will order the extermination of the race of anti-Christ. When the beast> sees that he is lost he will become furious, and for many months the beak of the white eagle, th 9 claws of the leopard, and the spurs of the cock will furiously strike at him. They will cross fivers over the bodies of the slain, and these in places will change the course of the waters. They ' will bury only the men ot noble families, the leading commandants, and the princes, because of tho carnage made by the armies will be joined the wholesale death of those who will die of hunger or the pest. The anti-Christ will ask'' many times for' peace, but the seven aneels who walk in front of the three animals defending the lamb have declared that victory will only bo granted on the condition that the anti-Christ be crushed like straw on the barn floor. The executors of the justice of the lamb cannot stop fighting as long as the anti-Christ possess soldiers to fight against them. Kaiser to Die a Madman. ' That which makes the decree of the lamb so implacable is that the antiChrist has pretended to be a follower of Christ, and to act in His name, and if he does not porish the fruit of the .Redeemer would be lost, and the doors of Hades would prevail against the Saviour. The fight whioh will take place where the anti-Christ forces his'. arms will not be in any way a human fight. (This may have reference to Essen, where the Krupp Works are, and many authorities believe that the decisive battle may take place in Westphalia). The three animals defending the lamb will exterminate the last army of the anti-Christ, but they will be forced to erect on the battlefield. a pyre as large as a city, for the bodies of the dead will change the aspect of the countryside, as there will be mounds of_ the slain. The anti-Christ> will Ipse his crown, and will die in solitude'and madness. His empire will be divided into twenty-two States, but, none of them will any longer possess fortresses, armies, or vessels. (Curiously enough, this number coincides with the number of German States.)
Russia to Rule Turkey, The, whito eaglo by tho Order of St. Michael will drive the orescent from Europe and will instal himself at Unostautiuople. Then will begin an eia of peace and prosperity for the earth, and there will be no more wars, each nation being governed according to its desires and living according to the rules of justice.. There will no longer be, Lutherans or. Schismatics.' The lamb will reign and the supreme happiness of humanity will begin. liappv will be those who, escaping tho perils of that period, will be able to enjoy the fruit of the reign of tho spirit and of the purging of humanity, which can only come after the defeat of the antiChrist.
