This old document forms part of the Mirabilis liber which is a collection of prophecies from various sources and anthologies. This part of the collection is said to be a surviving prophecy of the Tiburtine Sibyl, that she was one of ten Sibyls and that she is called Cassandra and lived for 367 years and traveled across many parts of the world from Asia to Africa and Europe.
There are a lot of similarities between this continuous prophecy and the prophecy by Bishop Bemechobus and seems to biblical based, however there are some very stark differences which have no apparent biblical links. The story tells us of how she came to Rome where she was asked to interpret a dream, and so she took them up into the mountain and told them that 'The nine suns that you saw signify all the generations that are to come' and then she goes on to tell them what some of the things that are in store for some of these generations. This is somewhat similar in a way to the belief of the Mayans that there are nine generations.
She goes on to list rulers and princes and successors to a point where there shall be 'wars between Christians and the pagans' in a time where 'Men shall be greedy and false and truth shall disappear'. She lists a number of disasters including islands swallowed up by floods (Japan?) and bloodshed and earthquakes and so on.
Then she says that after all the wars that a king shall reign over the Greeks and French and Romans for a hundred and twelve years, at which point the Antichrist will appear and cause havoc. Followed by the army from the north and the two witnesses Elias and Enoch, and the Antichrist will be killed by Michael. Then the king (Christ) shall return 'through the spheres'. And all mankind will be judged before earth is then finally destroyed. What I find intriguing is that if the references to war are actually meant to represent World War 2 then if you add 112 years (of the UN) to 1945 you end up with 2057, and the Antichrist is said to rule for three years which gives you the end of the world being 2060, the exact same year which Isaac Newton came up with in his mathematical formula based upon the Book of Daniel > one word > hmmm
