Prophesied a period when innocence is hated, law and order collapse, and the wicked persecute the good.
Prophesied a period when innocence is hated, law and order collapse, and the wicked persecute the good.
After the Monarch’s death, the sceptre falls and all justice will cease; the world enters a corrupt and evil age, true children of God persecuted by hateful means. Few men remain, and women seek husbands to remove disgrace. Christians will endure tribulation before Antichrist arrives and the last days begin. Jerusalem will be washed in the blood of martyrs and the remnant will hold firm to the faith.
Foretold persecution of the Church, a period of tribulation, and that, after prayers and sacrifice, England and much of Europe would repent and see Christian renewal.
Describes severe wars, persecution of clergy and faithful, annihilation of nations, and religious conflict before restoration.
Predicted persecutions, sufferings, divisions, and violence in the Church before peace and restoration.
Predicted tribulations: true followers persecuted, forced to hide, suffering for faith.
Christ allegedly revealed: “There will come a time when faith will decline, few faithful remain, churches look like caverns, few pastors teach the faith. The faithful will be forced to hide and separate from friends and family, persecution and scandals will abound; God will remove a multitude of men as a chastisement but later raise up saints, bring conversions and miracles, and usher in an age of holiness and peace.”
Saw “good and devout clergy harassed, oppressed, imprisoned,” many future martyrs; persecution by the “secret sect” succeeds in nearly destroying the Church. Woman with child Mary/Church appears, followed by a “man on a white horse” Great Monarch?, enemies are routed, Church is rebuilt more magnificent than before.
Saw compacts against the Church secret societies/Masons, Hell let loose to destroy evil ones. Predicted places of shelter for faithful Catholics, St. Peter choosing a new pope Angelic Pontiff after devastation, and a general conversion and triumph for the Church.
The Church will be persecuted and seem totally destroyed, but will rise again more splendid than ever after much suffering.
