Marie Julie Jahenny (1850-1941)

Marie's home in Blain

She was born on Feb12th in Blain, France.  She was the eldest of five children, a large peasant family, and later joined the Franciscan Third Order. She also reported apparitions through which she received prophecies about the end of the world, punishment for the sins of the people, the destruction of Paris through civil war, and the coming of Antichrist.

 At the age of twenty-three she fell ill and became closer to death, where she claimed to have been given a choice to live on, but only if she bore the stigmata sign, which from that moment appeared and stayed on her body as well as other signs until her death.  According to the testimony of witnesses, she experienced supernatural attacks from the devil, had the gift of prophecy and miracles, the miracles varied from being able to tell holy bread from normal bread, being able to see into the past of relics and even the ability to levitate.

Marie-Julie predicted numerous chastisements for sin that would fall first on France then spread to the rest of the world. These include: earthquakes, unprecedented destruction through storms, failed harvests, unknown plagues that would spread rapidly plus the cures for them, a "Blood Rain" that would fall for seven weeks, civil war in France that apparently would be started by conspirators in the government, the persecution of the Catholic Church with the total closure of all churches and religious houses(some could claim that this is currently in progress with the church being brought down by the behavior of its own priests), persection and slaughter of Christians, the destruction of Paris, a Two Day period of Darkness that would come circa a month before the Three Days of Darkness. The coming of the Great Monarch would also be announced by signs in the sky. She also had visions of the Angelic Pontiff who would reign at the same time of the Great Monarch, and that both these great leaders were destined to restore the Catholic Church 

Old Document Review 'On the Seven Seals of the Apocalypse'

This ancient document was written by Joachim of Fiore (d.1202) and features his interpretations of what the seals in the Book of Revelations represent.  Joachim sees the seals as representing the story of the church between the first and the second coming of Jesus.

However his understanding goes much deeper, when Joachim looks at history he sees a link to the Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are matched to the Old Testament, the life of Jesus and the New Testament.  Whats more, is that each of these eras can be broken down into seven periods of time which will match with the corresponding period in the next era.  These seven periods are also represented by the seven seals which are laid out in the Book of Revelations.  As always periods of time divided into seven can also be linked to how the Mayans viewed time, each period of time is seen to have seven days and six nights.

For example the first period in the Old Testament is seen from Abraham to the promised land, which is matched to the New Testament period of time from John the Baptist to the early church.  This matching carries on as far as the sixth seal which Joachim seen as matching against his own era, and everything that was happening during his lifetime such as the crusades and so on.  Joachim foretells that soon the Catholic Church shall be overthrown or challenged by a new church (the rise of Protestants?) and he sees this as the time where Satan will be bound up into his prison.  Then in the seventh seal will be the second coming.
