    Some interpretations suggest the end of the Papal Prophecies signals a coming chastisement for Rome, followed by the appearance of the Great Monarch and Angelic Pontiff, as in other saints prophecies.

  • Catastrophe & Comet

    attributed disc.

    Warns that before the Comet comes, many nations will face want and famine; a great oceanic nation will be destroyed by earthquakes, storms, and tidal waves, its colonies lost. The Comet’s impact will flood many countries, destroy cities, and cause disease. Coastal cities will be devastated, few will survive, and those who do will suffer from illness. The catastrophe precedes the restoration of Christian order.
