Jane Le Royer (d. 1798) Sister Mary of the Nativity

a. "Many precursors, false prophets, and members of infernal secret societies, worshippers cf Satan, shall impugn the most sacred dogmas and doctrines of our holy religion, shall persecute the faithful, shall commit abominable actions ; but the real and extreme abomination and desolation shall more fully be accomplished during the reign of Antichrist, which will last about three years and a half.

b. "Thereupon I saw a great power arising against the Church. It despoiled, plundered and laid waste to the vineyard of the Lord, made of it a footpath for those passing over it, and derided it before the nations as an object of scorn and mockery. After desecrating the celibate and suppressing monasticism, this power boldly confiscated the properties of the Church and at the same time usurped the powers of the pope, whose person and laws they condemned.

c. "You will soon become aware of a great transformation. For the end has not as yet set in and they have not as yet reached the goal, as* they suppose. To be sure, the dawn begins to break, but the age that follows will be stormy and full of suffering.

d. "Woe, woe, woe to the last century which is descending! What tribulations precede its commencements.

e. "Out of this mighty voice I recognized that these woeful tribulations will make their appearance in the age before the judgment. And as I pondered ever and weighed, in God, the century, I saw, that which begins with 1800 will not yet be the last.

f. "I see that when the Second Coming of Christ approaches, a bad priest will do much harm to the Church.

g. "When the time of the reign of Antichrist is near, a false religion will appear which will be opposed to the unity of God and His Church. This will cause the greatest schism the world has ever known. The nearer the time of the end, the more the darkness of Satan will spread on Earth, the greater will be the number of the children of corruption, and the number of Just will correspondingly diminish.

h. "Antichrist will kill the Pope, probably by crucifixion. As a child of ten he will know more than anyone else in the world and when he is thirty he will begin his real work.

i. "The day of retribution will now (end of reign) begin, because, being full of the spirit of Lucifer, with the greatest presumption and self love he will consider himself God, and in his haughtiness he will endeavor, together with his followers, to solemnly arise to Heaven to the throne of God. The Almighty has already prepared St. Michael with power and justice and charged him to oppose Antichrist in the heavens. When the demon group with Antichrist in their midst arrives, St. Michael will descend from Heaven with great speed upon them, being filled with holy indignation. With his appearance great fear surges through the proud army. A terrible voice sounds forth from the mouth of St. Michael as the earth opens : 'Begone you cursed ! Down into the deepest abyss of Hell !' A bolt of lightning from the cloud casts Antichrist and his cohorts into the fearful abyss of fire and flames with such force that the deepest foundations tremble and all Hell resounds. With the fall of Antichrist will come severe earthquakes, thick darkness will cover the Earth, the ground will open in thousands of places under the feet of the inhabitants and cities, towns, castles and an immense number of people will be swallowed up. One-half of that immense crowd on Mt. Olivet will be cast in the abyss with -Antichrist. The ocean will move frightfully and waves arise heavenward overflowing the coast and inundate the earth. All these calamities are only to frighten the remaining into accepting the Grace and Mercy of God."

j. "Fifteen days after the ascension of Henoch and Elias into heaven, terrible catastrophes will come upon the earth : most severe earthquakes, tidal waves inundating much of the earth's surface, culminating in a thick darkness over the entire earth."
