IV. GREAT PERSONAGES OF THE LATTER DAYS: These are the Great Pope and the Great Ruler. The
two appear frequently in prophetic writings. Their respective qualities and accomplishments are not
always kept distinct, and many results which in one place are attributed directly to heaven, in
others are attributed to either of these figures or both. This does not necessitate contradictions, for
both work together and each is but a divine agent.
A. The Great Monarch:
a. referred to as: The Orient or from the East (17b, 60c, 63, 78, 85b); from the West (83); from
the North (68, 72b, 95, 106, 131); a prince, knight, Emperor, King (60c, 67, 68, 72b, 83, 86,
90, 97, 100, 117, 129): a Lion or an Eagle (63, 72, 81, 85, 93, 112, 124, 168); a Bourbon, Lily
or white flower (64, 87, 94): a star (96); a duke (138); of Spanish origin (106): great Celt but
not Irish (123m, 201); a scion of Charlemagne, Pepin, Clovis, etc.. of the French Kings (67,
90, 91, 97, 102, 112, 114, 121, 129, 137, 139, 145): a great warrior (68, 70c); an exile or
captive in his youth (67, 100, 102: his features noted (71, 127); he will be a Catholic (88,
157); not a German (129, 157b).
b. Time: near the end of time (77, 87, 91). In the third incursion of time (113, 168b), during
(155). and after a terrible war (96). as a result of which the world in general. but especially
France. and in France the provinces of the North and East are in terrible misery (67). and also
as a result of which Germany is decisively defeated (or wholly converted) (104c, 117, 167). He
will come into power at the moment that the Anti-Christian forces are on the point of Victory
(40), and will succeed as ruler of Germany an elected ruler of humble birth (140). All this will
be after 1840 (121), and item 123m could mean that he would begin his rule in 1944 and
reach the zenith of his power in 1951.
c. First achievements: The great monarch is helped into France by England (94, 175), probably
despite the unwillingness of America (175). The French are not expecting him (72b). He comes
from north to west (106). There will be with him two aids (78, 87). He will turn out to be a
great conqueror (92) and reformer (as noted below) but this because he has the very special
aid of God (102. 106. 112. 117. 131. 141). It is he who puts down the revolt in France (168).
He is in charge of the army of the south in the Battle of Westphalia (89) where he defeats the
Prussians and Russians (76). He defeats the nation that for three years ravages in the north
and the Emperor of the north who is the mystic Anti-Christ (76. 81b. 139). Spain and Poland aid
him in some special way (86c, 96, 104c, 106). It seems to be after this phase of the war that
women must do the farm work for one year (89b, 122a).
d. His Army: Whether this army is organized before or after Westphalia is not clear. It is composed
of soldiers of various nations (64, 72b, 139). It is called "The Army of the Church" (114, 139) or
"of the Holy Ghost" because in that period of time the Holy Ghost dominates all things (114,
141), "of the Cross bearers" because in that sign it conquers (106, 114, 189c). It is rather a
religious congregation whose members are the earth's greatest soldiers, scientists, and saints.
They are divided into three orders: military knights, contemplative monks, and active religious.
The angels fight on its side; it upholds disciple both temporal and spiritual universally after it
has cleansed the world of evil. It lasts till the end of time. Every ruler is a member of this militia
(114).
e. His achievements, apparently after Westphalia: He is made king of France (67. 72, 79, 84d, 87,
96, 97, 100, 112, 125,144, 159, 162, 168) by the Pope (156) but eventually dominates Europe
as its Emperor (90, 9 I. 145). Various countries. e. g. England (64, 72b, 73b, 85b, 96, 122a),
Germany (76, 88, 106, 167, 157), Poland (86c. 104c), Italy (64, 83, 96). Greece (64). Ireland
(68, 71), etc. He rules apparently through allied monarchs and after either conquering or
relieving them of revolt. It would seem that he unites Germany. Spain, and France first. and
only after much blood, the rest. His dominion eventually extends to the bounds of the Ancient
Roman Empire (40, 66, 79, 129, 139). But apart from this he dominates the world (67. 100), 4
and reforms it (111), that is, he restores order to Church. state, and family (133), and aids
workmen (144). All other world forces he either destroys or enters into agreement with (63a,
64, 71, 78). In this process it is likely that Russia, China (168), several European governments
(131) , Japan (100). other Eastern leaders (64, 72b. 122c. 144). the Arabs (78, 86). and for a
certainty the Turkish Empire and other Mohammedan countries shall feel the force of his arms
to bring them into line (64, 104c, 106, 114, 122c, 131, 132, 138, 167). At any rate he relieves
every land (63, 111, 112, 139), destroys evil laws (63c, 94, 102, 144). destroys all tyrants (III,
114), makes it possible for all exiles, fugitives and captives to return home (140, 158b, 160),
and ends war (63c, 94, 97, 101, 104d). It is no wonder then that the people gladly accept his
rule (78, 160). His reform is apparently a gradual process (64, 134).
f. His reign: Under him Peace reigns in all the earth (40, 84d, 85b, 86b, 87, 89b, 100, 102, 104c,
106, 117, 125, 131, 141, 163, 165). Justice likewise (86b, 129), happiness (77, 140), and
abundance (60c, 85b, 86b, 97, 104c, 106, 117, 151, 163). Iron is used only for tools (84a).
New cities are founded (106). No taxes for twelve years! (78).
g. Religion under the Great Monarch: His place in the divine scheme is to crush the enemies of
Christ (40, 114, 132, 140), and to promote, and in cooperation with the Pope. achieve not only
Christian Unity but also the conversion of all Mohammedans (106, 132) or Pagans, as well as
many, if not all. Jews (64, 106). His good example is his chief weapon (151). Since this
accomplishment results from the miraculous events and the Great Pope, as well as the Great
Monarch, more details are given below. Suffice it to remark here that he restores the true Pope
and church property (72, 138) and changes many kingdoms to strengthen the faith (129).
h. The length of his reign is quite uncertain but at some time during it, probably after his defeat of
the Turks and Arabs, he establishes the Kingdom of Jerusalem (72b, 91, 97, 106, 125). He
abdicates his throne in Jerusalem (64, 77, 79, 83, 85b, 96). Thus ends the Roman Empire and
apparently the kingdoms of France and of England (77, 79). At any rate He is said to be the last
and greatest French King and Roman Emperor and the last King of England, but on the other
hand it is said that France will exist till the end of time (66) and that there will be men of the
stock of the Great Monarch also till the end of time (113).
B. The Great Pope (or Popes): This divine agent is usually referred to as the Angelic Pastor (e. g., 82,
113b, 136). He will be born before the end of the 19th century (112). He is said to come from the
North (1l3b), to be French (125). Galician (168c), or a Sabine (124). Some think he will be a
Franciscan (131, 142). All agree that he will be a holy man (81, 99, 104, 109, 129). The Paduan
Prophecy calls him Gregory (136). He is to be protected by the angels and to be a Prophet, a
miracle worker (83, 97).
He will come after Pius XI (136) when the world is wartorn and the Church persecuted (81b,
83, 96, 97, 112, 123, 125). also after the wicked have been or while they are being chastised
(83, 97, 112), at the same time as the Great Monarch (101, etc.).
It seems that here there is the question of a succession of popes who should rather be called
the Angelic Pastors (97). The number would probably be five (95) who would all together rule 17
years (123q). In another light. however. the number might be considered only four (81). Looked
at this way the pope who ruled when the Great Monarch appeared would form one with his
predecessor, i.e., his times, policies, and even name might be identical, so that it could be said the
pope died and lived again (173c, 190). This pope would be the one who dies in exile, during the
persecution. His successor (being the first of a series of four great men) would be chosen by
divine intervention and probably by a method laid down by the exile (100, 139, 150, 173). This
succession would last till the time of Anti-Christ (129).
two appear frequently in prophetic writings. Their respective qualities and accomplishments are not
always kept distinct, and many results which in one place are attributed directly to heaven, in
others are attributed to either of these figures or both. This does not necessitate contradictions, for
both work together and each is but a divine agent.
