1.Several times has one seemed to recognize him because all slayers
of the Lamb resemble each other and all the wicked are the precursors of
the Great Wicked One.2. The veritable Antichrist will be one of the monarchs of his time,
a son of Luther; he will invoke God and call himself His messenger.
3. The Prince of Lies will swear by the Bible; he will call himself
the arm of the Most High, chastising corrupted people.
4. He will only have one arm, but his innumerable armies, who will
take as their motto "God is with us," will seem like infernal legions.
5. For a long while he will act by ruse and treason. His spies will
spread all over the earth, and he will be the master of the secret of
those in power.
6. He will have theologians in his pay to certify and prove his
celestial mission.
7. A was will furnish him with the reason for lifting the mask. Is
will not be on which he will make against the French monarch, but
another which will be easily recognized by the fact that in two weeks
time it will have become universal.
8. It will call to arms all Christians, all Mohammedans, and even
other distant people. Armies will be formed in the four parts of the
world.
9. For men’s minds will be opened by angels, and in the third week
they will understand that this is the Antichrist and that they will all
become slaves if they do not trample down this conquering one.
10. The Antichrist will be recognizable by several marks; he will
chiefly massacre priests, monks, women and children and old people. He
will show no mercy; he will pass along holding a torch like the
barbarians, but invoking the name of Christ.
11. His false words will resemble those of Christians, but his acts
will be those of Nero and the Roman persecutors; there will be an eagle
in the coat-of-arms and there will also be one in that of his
confederate, the other wicked monarch.
12. But this one is a Christian and he will be cursed by the Pope
Benedictus, who will be elected at the beginning of the reign of the
Antichrist.
13. Priests and monks will no longer be seen confessing and absolving
the combatants, because for the first time priests and monks will fight
with other citizens; and a1so because Pope Benedictus having cursed the
Antichrist, it will be procla1med that all those who wage war against
him will be in a state of grace, and should they die will like martyrs
go straight to heaven.
14. The Pope’s "bull" proclaiming these things will make a great
sensation and will cause the death of the monarch, the Antichrist’s
ally.
15. In order to conquer the Antichrist more men must be ki1led than
Rome has ever held. It will require an effort from all lands, for the
Cock, the Leopard, and the white eagle wil1 not suffice to overcome the
black eagle if they were not helped by all the prayers of a1l the Roman
race.
16. Never before has humanity been in such a peril, for the triumph
of the Antichrist would that of the Demon, in whom he is incarnated.
17. For it had been said that 20 centuries after the incarnation of
the world, the beast in his turn would be incarnated and would threaten
the earth with as many evils as the Divine Incarnation had brought in
graces.
18. Near the year two thousand the Antichrist
will appear; his army will surpass in numbers anything before imagined;
there will be
Christians among its hordes, and among the defenders of the Lamb there
will be Mohammedans and savage tribes.
19. For the first time the Lamb will be
entirely red; in the whole of the Christian world there will not be a
place that will not be red; and the
heavens, the earth, the water, and even the air will be red, for blood
will flow in the sphere of the four E1ements at the same time.
