The Great Disaster

-----------------------------------------------------------------------​----

This page lists many prophecies detailing the events that will unfold as we
near the coming of the Antichrist. As we will see as we explore these
prophecies, the following sequence of events takes shape:

* Initially, we may not see not a world war, but a breakdown of the
current peace. Revolutions and economic collapses will spur this on.
It will not take on the aspects of a world war until later, during
Muslim invasions of Europe.
* We will see a war shortly after the natural disasters. This will be
following by a period of peace under the Great Monarch. The Great
Monarch is the French King that will restore peace to the world. At
the end, he will be defeated by the Antichrist.
* Antichrist will establish his kingdom and will declare himself as God.
All that do not worship him will be persecuted. He is ultimately
defeated.

This is, of course, a very general outline of the sequence of events. Many
details are also outlined below.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------​--

(( St. Malachy (12th Century) )): "Ireland will suffer English
oppression for a week of centuries, but will preserve her
fidelity to God and His Church. At the end of that time she will
be delivered, and the English in turn must suffer severe
chastisement. Ireland, however, will be instrumental in bringing
the English back to the unity of Faith."

(( Comment )): In the 12th century, England had just begun her
conquest of Ireland, but she was still Catholic. Persecutions did
not begin until the 16th or 17th century. Despite the
persecutions, Ireland preserved her Faith. Liberation for Ireland
finally came in the 20th Century. If the prophecy is valid and it
was made in the 12th century, indeed more than a week of
centuries have passed and she is now independent. So, much of
this prophecy has come true. It's likely that the coming trouble
that England is going to face (it's chastisement) will be a
prelude to England returning to the Catholic Church. One could
read this as the English monarchy recognizing the authority of
the Catholic Church, or even an end to the English monarchy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(( St. Hildegard (12th Century) )): "The time is coming when
princes and peoples will reject the authority of the Pope. Some
countries will prefer their own Church rulers to the Pope. The
German Empire will be divided. Church property will be
secularized. Priests will be persecuted. Toward the end of the
world mankind will be purified through sufferings. This will be
true especially of the clergy who will be robbed of all
property."

(( Comment )): Much of this prophecy has already come true. Many
countries became protestant in the 16th century, and the German
Empire was divided as a result. What we have yet to see is the
sufferings that this prophecy talks about and the demise of the
clergy. Note that the word clergy would not necessarily mean
Catholic clergy. This could of all denominations.

((continued... )) "A powerful wind will rise in the north
carrying heavy fog and the densest of dust by divine command, and
it will fill their throats and eyes so that they will cease their
savagery and be stricken with a great fear. Before the comet
comes, many nations, the good excepted, will be scourged by want
and famine. The great nation in the ocean that is inhabited by
people of different tribes and descent will be devastated by an
earthquake, storm, and tidal wave. It will be divided, and in
great part, submerged. That nation will have many misfortunes at
sea and lose its colonies. By its tremendous pressure the comet
will force much out of the ocean and flood many countries,
causing much want and many plagues. All coastal cities will live
in fear, and many of them will be destroyed by tidal waves and
most living creatures will be killed, and even those who escape
will die from horrible diseases. For in none of those cities does
a person live according to the laws of God. "Peace will return to
the world when the white flower again takes possession of the
throne of France. During the period of peace, people will be
forbidden to carry weapons, and iron will be used only for making
agricultural implements and tools. Also during this time, the
land will be very productive and many Jews, heathens, and
heretics will join the Church."

(( Comment )): A lot of what St. Hildegard talks about in this
prophecy is repeated in other prophecies. The wind that comes
with such power and velocity is one that is often referred to as
happening in a crucial battle. This could be Armaggedon. Some of
this prophecy has also already come true. The great comet has not
arrived yet, and we are witness to many countries, especially the
Third World countries, where poverty and starvation is rampant.
The great nation that is referred to here is interpreted by some
to be England, especially with reference to the loss of colonies,
but I believe it to be the United States. It seems to fit the
current times more properly. The United States is a great nation
whose very foundations are laid with the diversity of its people.
There are also other prophecies, such as ones by Edgar Cayce and
Gordon Michael Scallion, that refer to the terrible natural
disasters that are to befall the United States that seem to be
referred to here: earthquake, storm, tidal wave. Edgar Cayce and
Scallion both talk about the U.S. being divided by the fact that
the Great Lakes seemingly empty out into the Gulf of Mexico,
effectively rendering the Southeast U.S. into an island, not to
mention the fall of California into the ocean. Here we also have
the first mention of the Great Monarch, the French King that will
bring peace to the world after the chaos has subsided. The white
flower is the fleur-de-lys, the symbol of the French Monarchy. We
will see much more of the French King later.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(( Old English Prophecy (( On a Tombstone at the Kirby cemetary,
Essex )):

When pictures look alive, with movements free,
When ships like fish swim beneath the sea,
When men outstripping birds can soar the sky,
Then half the world deep drenched in blood shall die.

In Germany begins a dance,
Which passeth through Italy, Spain and France.
But England shall pay the piper.

When Our Lady shall lie on Our Lord's Lap,
Then England will meet with a strange mishap.

(( Comment )): There is a 20th-Century German prophecy that says
the same thing: problems will begin in Germany, spread through
Italy, France, and Spain, but that England will suffer the most.
There are other prophecies that will be quoted later to
corroborate the problems in England and the fact that it will be
France that will aid England the most.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(( Sister Bouquillion (19th Century) )): "The beginning of the
end shall not come in the 19th century, but in the 20th for
sure."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(( Old German Prophecy )): "When the world becomes godless,
revolutions will break out against kings. Fathers will fight
their sons, and sons their fathers. The doctrine will be
perverted, and they will try to overthrow the Catholic Church.
Men will be pleasure-loving. A terrible war will find the North
fighting the South. The South will be led by a prince wearing a
white coat with a cross on the front. He will be lame afoot. He
will gather his forces at Bremen for Mass. Then he will lead them
into battle beyond Woerl near the birch-tree country
(Westphalia). After a terrible battle at a brook running
eastwards near Berdberg and Sondern, the South will be
victorius."

(( Comment )): The doctrine being perverted seems to refer to the
fact that Mass and the Church will be changed to a more worldy
approach, as it was done in Vatican II. The prince referred to
here is none other than the great French prince, the Great
Monarch to come. Before engaging in a battle against terrible
odds, he will take his troops to Mass and afterwards lead them
into victory. The Prince's lameness is referred to in other
prophecies, as we will see later.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(( Madgeburg Chronicle )): "Of the blood of the emperor Charles
the Great and of the Kings of France shall arise an emperor named
Charles, who shall rule in Europe, by whom the decayed Estate of
the Church shall be reformed and the ancient glory of the Empire
restored."

(( Comment )): Another prophecy to back up the claim that the
Great Monarch will be French. Here it also asserts that he will
restore the Church after it has been apparently destroyed and
that he will rule all of Europe.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(( John of Vatigerro (13th Century) )): "Spoilation, pillaging,
and devastation of that most famous city which is the capital and
mistress of France will take place when the Church and the world
are grievously troubled. The Pope will change his residence and
the Church will not be defended for 25 months or more because,
during all that time, there will be no Pope in Rome, no emperor
and no ruler in France. But after this, a young captive prince
shall recover the Crown of the Lilies and shall extended his
dominion over the world." "After many tribulations, a Pope shall
be elected out of those that survived the persecutions. By his
sanctity he will reform the clergy, and the whole world shall
venerate the Church for her sanctity, virtue, and perfection."

(( Comment )): This is the first of many prophecies that foretell
the utter destruction of Paris. Its destruction will take place
apparently after the natural disasters that will grip the world.
Chaos will reign in Spain, Italy, France, and England. The
problems will become so great that the Pope (probably the one
after John Paul II, but definitely NOT Peter II, the last Pope)
will have to flee Rome. We are told here that there will be no
Pope for at least 2 years, perhaps more. Then the last Pope will
be elected and he will bring the Church back through his
holiness, and as we have seen, with the aid of the French King.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(( John of the cleft rock (13th Century) )): "Towards the end of
the world, tyrants and hostile mobs will rob the Church and the
clergy of all their possessions and will afflict and martyr them.
Those who heap the most abuse upon them will be held in high
esteem." "The clergy cannot escape these persecutions, but,
because of them, all the servants of the Church will be forced to
lead an apostolic life." "At that time, the Pope with his
cardinals will have to flee Rome in tragic circumstances to a
place where they will be unknown. The Pope will die a cruel death
in his exile. The sufferings of the Church will be much greater
than at any other previous time in her history. But God will
raise a holy Pope, and the Angels will rejoice. Enlightened by
God, this man will rebuild almost the whole world through his
holiness. He will lead everyone to the true Faith. Everywhere,
the fear of God, virtue, and good morals will prevail. He will
lead all erring sheep back to the fold, and there shall be one
faith, one law, one rule of life, and one baptism on earth. All
men will love each other and do good, and all quarrels and wars
will cease."

(( Comment )): This tells us that the Pope will die in exile. I
don't believe that the Pope to die in exile will be John Paul II,
but his successor instead. After his death, there will be further
persecutions and the Church will have much to suffer, but there
will come a just Pope who will set the Church better than before
and he will be revered throughout the world.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(( St. Vincent Ferrer (15th Century) )): "Armies from the West,
East, and North will fight together in Italy, and the Eagle shall
capture the false king, and all things shall be made obedient
unto him, and there shall be a new reformation of the world." "In
the days of peace that are to come after the desolation of
revolutions and wars -- before the end of the world -- Christians
will become so lax in their religion that they will refuse the
sacrament of Confirmation, saying that it is unnecessary. And
when the false prophet, the precursor of Antichrist, comes, all
who are not confirm will apostatize, while those who are
confirmed will stand fast in their faith, and only a few will
renounce Christ."

(( Comment )): The Eagle here is the French Prince. He will
capture the false king, meaning that he will defeat either an
evil leader in Italy, or he will dispose of an anti-pope. There
are numerous mentions of an anti-pope holding the Holy See after
the death of the Pope in exile, so this might be a plausible
scenario. The second paragraph warns that after the great
disasters that befall the world, there will be a laxness in
religion and many will believe the false prophet when he heralds
the coming of the Antichrist as the return of the Messiah. Those
that are confirmed in the Catholic Faith will remain faithful.
Those who are not will turn away, or apostatize, and there will
be a handful of Catholics who will turn regardless.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(( Telesphorus of Cozensa (16th Century) )): "A powerful French
Monarch and French Pope will regain the Holy Land after terrible
wars in Europe. They will convert the world and bring universal
peace. They will overcome the German ruler."

(( Comment )): This prophecy pretty much backs up other
prophecies. The Holy Land that this prophecy refers to is Israel.
Other prophecies refer to the fact that this Pope will evangelize
the world, bringing Muslims, Hindus, and every other religion
into the fold. It is unclear who the German ruler may be. There
may be a ruler who imposes himself and his authority while the
chaos reigns in Europe and is defeated by the French Monarch
after his rise to power.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(( Fr. Balthassar Mas (17th Century) )): "I saw a land swallowed
up by the sea and covered with water. But, afterwards, I saw the
sea receded little by little and the land could be seen again.
The tops of the towers in the city rose again above the water and
appeared more beautiful than before, and I was told that this
land was England."

(( Comment )): This prophecy is often correlated with the
prophecy of St. Hildegard, but I believe she talks about the U.S.
and this one talks about England. I could be wrong, but there is
ample evidence to show that the natural disasters that befall the
world will be world-wide, meaning all countries will experience
many natural calamities. England's flooding and the U.S.'s
flooding may be caused by the same events and would probably
happen around the same period of time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(( Bl. Mary of Agreda (17th Century) )): "It was revealed to me
that through the intercession of the Mother of God all heresies
will disappear. The victory over heresies has been reserved by
Christ for His Blessed Mother. In the latter days, the Lord will
in a special manner spread the renown of His Mother. Mary began
salvation, and by her intercession it will be completed. Before
the second coming of Christ, Mary, more than ever, must shine in
mercy, might, and grace in order to bring unbelievers into the
Catholic Faith. The power of Mary in the latter days will be very
conspicuous. Mary will extend the reign of Christ over the
heathens and Mohammedans, and it will be a time of great joy when
Mary is enthroned as Mistress and Queen of Hearts." "An unusual
chastisement of the human race will take place towards the end of
the world."

(( Comment )): The apparitions of Mary in the last 150 years have
been unprecedented and her message of love and peace are designed
to bring the world closer to Jesus and the Catholic Faith. In
this prophecy, it states that Mary will be instrumental in
bringing Muslims to the Catholic Faith. There have been
apparitions of Mary over traditional Islamic sites and the
Islamic religion reveres Mary greatly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(( St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort (18th Century) )): "The
power of Mary over all the devils will be particularly
outstanding in the last period of time. She will extend the
Kingdom of Christ over the idolaters and Moslems, and there will
come a glorious era when Mary is the Ruler and Queen of Hearts."

(( Comment )): Another confirmation that the Muslims will be
converted. This will be done under the reign of the Great Monarch
after he has defeated them and driven them out of Europe.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(( Bernhardt Rembordt (18th Century) )): "Cologne will be the
site of a terrible battle. Many foreigners will be slaughtered
there; both men and women will fight for their Faith. It will be
impossible to prevent the horrible devastation. People will wade
up to their ankles in blood. At last, a foreign King will appear
and win a victory for the cause of the righteous. The remaining
enemy will retreat to the Birchtree country. There, the last
battle will be fought for the just cause." "At that time France
will be divided. The German Empire will choose a simple man as
the Emperor, who will rule for a short time. His successor will
be a man for whom the world has longed. He will be called a
"Roman Emperor", and he will bring peace to the world. A good and
happy era will follow. God will be praised on earth, and war will
be no more."

(( Comment )): There are many prophecies that talk about a battle
at the Birchtree Country. This seems to be Westphalia. This
prophecy also makes mention of the German King, as mentioned by
Telesphorus earlier. This German ruler will precede the Great
Monarch.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(( Elizabeth Canori-Mora (19th Century) )): "Countless legions of
demons shall overrun the earth-- the instrument of divine
justice-- and causing [sic] terrible calamities and disasters.
Nothing on earth shall be spared. After the frightful punishment
I saw a great light appear upon the earth which was the sign of
reconciliation of God with men. All men shall become Catholics
and they shall acknowledge the Pope as the Vicar of Jesus
Christ."

(( Comment )): That demons will overrun the earth is mentioned in
many prophecies. With the calamities and evils that exist in the
world today, the unleashing may have already begun. The sign that
appears may have something to do with the sign that Mary spoke of
in Garabandal, Spain. There are other prophecies that associate
the vast unleashing of demons during the three days of darkness
that befall the earth.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(( St. Francis of Paola (15th Century) )): "By the grace of the
Almighty, the great Monarch will annihilate heretics and
unbelievers. He will have a great army, and angels will fight at
his side. He will be like the sun among the stars. His influence
will spread over the whole earth. All in all, there will be on
earth twelve Kings, one Emperor, one Pope, and a few Princes.
They will all lead holy lives."
