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 

False Prophecies of Merlin?

As I continue my research into the Mirabilis liber which was published in 1522, I wish to talk about a set of prophecies that appear in the book under the author name of St Gregory the Great.  But the document can be linked to an earlier publication that was attributed to that of Merlin, hence a conclusion that the collector of the Mirabilis liber chose to either disguise the name for some purpose... or simply had presumed incorrectly.

So why would prophecies from the source of Merlin be false?  As discussed previously, the character of 'Merlin' originates from a welsh person from the 6th century called Myrddin Wyllt, who had made a mess of his own prophecies and was driven to madness and lived in the wild as a crazed man.  Therefore any written prophecies said to originate from this source must have been faked or copied from elsewhere.  Yet as I studied the prophecies, they actually foretold things that have happened; 

"born of a tree a bird"

(seems to predict the invention of the plane)

[the plane] "shall wander around all those deserts killing the evil beasts"

(seems to predict planes hitting enemies, possibly the Iraq wars)

"truly even the Indies shall share in it, and know that the sea shall rise greatly and miraculously"

(seems to predict the devastating tsunami on 26th Dec 2004)

Paracelcus (1493-1541)

Paracelcus was born with the original name Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, probably the longest name I have ever heard.  He was a German-Swiss physician and during his life he was linked to botany, alchemy, astrology and the occults.  He took the name of Paracelcus, which meant 'equal to or greater than Celsus', Celsus being the 1st century Roman Aulus Cornelius Celsus, possibly a man to which Paracelsus was inspired by.

Paracelcus made vast contributions to toxicology, psychotherapy, medicine and philosophy and inspired such people as Jacob Boehme.  He traveled widely across Europe, Africa and Asia Minor with the goal of finding hidden knowledge.  Many rumours circulated about his knowledge, and he was highlighted as possibly being the true identity of a major alchemist Christian Rosenkreutz.

He published a number of manuscripts during his lifetime, most notably for me, was the manuscript called Prognostications in 1536 which depicts prophecies and cryptic images. However Paracelcus had a reputation for being arrogant, inciting anger by publicly burning medical books.

Old Document Review 'Compendium on Holy Scripture'

This ancient document was written by Peter Auriol (d.1322) in 1319, he was a member of the Franciscan order and lectured in Bologna and Toulouse.  Auriol believed that the seven seals represented the span of events from Christ through to Judgement Day.  Specifically he looked at the tribulations of the early church and Identified the tribulations with the seven seals leading up to about 363A.D.

Auriol believed that the angel mentioned in the sixth seal is actually Constantine, and the events below symbolized the seals;

1st seal > The spread of the gospel after Jesus (33-53A.D.)

2nd seal > Persecution of the early church (54-68A.D.)

3rd seal > The destruction of Jerusalem (69-80A.D.)

4th seal > A second persecution (81-96A.D.)

5th seal > The seven consecutive persecutions (98-275A.D.)

6th seal > The tenth persecution (275-305A.D.)

7th seal > Tranquility & peace (305-363A.D.)

Old Document Review 'The confession of Prous Boneta'

Na Prous Boneta (d.1328) made her confession before an Inquisition in 1325, she was associated with a break away group which had become convinced that they were living in the end times.

Boneta believed that all seven seals had been opened during her own lifetime, and applied the characters in the Book of Revelations to people of her time.  She identified the two witnesses as being Francis of Assisi and Olivi, and that the current pope, Pope John XXII was actually the Antichrist!  Whats more unbelievable is that she goes on to identify herself as the woman that appears in Revelations 12, and that she seen herself as the only one worthy of opening the seals.  

It is easy to see why she had been brought before the Inquisition for her beliefs, yet, it is interesting to see that even back in the 14th Century there was those who believed that they lived in the end times, a belief which re-occurs over and over even to the present day, and it also shows how wrongly people can interpret prophecies.

Girolamo Savonarolo (1452 - 1498)

Savonarolo was born in Ferrara in Northern Italy into a highly respected family, he took up studying many sources such as the Bible and Aristotle and studied at the University of Ferrara where he took an Arts degree.  By the age of twenty he had already written a number of poems including 'On the Downfall of the World' and due to his expression of a corrupt clergy 'On the Downfall of the Church'.

He went on to become a Dominican friar in 1475 and joined a monastery in Bologna before transferring to Florence, he did return however to further his studies and become a master.  Upon his return to Florence, he seemed as if a new person, he became obsessed with preaching about the Last days (end times) and made statements about visions and prophecies.  He did not want to break away from the Catholic church but rather to fix the corruption from within.  When some of his major predictions came true, it elevated him to great success, resulting in him becoming the new leader of Florence in 1494.

Once in power, he declared it a new Christian republic and set about to change the laws including forcing homosexuals from the city and burning books, art-works, statues, mirrors and anything that was morally questionable.

In 1497, Pope Alexander VI excommunicated him and the next year demanded the arrest and execution of Savonarolo.  A crowd attacked his Convent, his supporters and guards killed, and he was charged with heresy, prophecy, sedition and other crimes called religious errors.  He was viciously tortured, they inflicted pain on his whole body except his writing arm, so that he could sign a confession which he eventually did, although later he sought forgiveness from God for confessing to something he did not do.  He was then taken out to where he had burnt the books, where he was burnt alive to the point where there was nothing left but dust.
