Founder
of anchoritic life in Palestine. St. Hilarion was the son of pagan parents and
was sent to Alexandria to be educated it was here that he became a Christian.
Miraculous cures and exorcisms of demons which he performed spread his fame in
the surrounding country.
"After
the World War they will make peace but not a lasting peace. They will immediately
begin again preparing to strike at one another...
"Before
the Christian Churches are renovated and united, God will send the Eagle, who
will travel to Rome and bring much happiness and good. The Holy Man will bring
peace between the clergy and the Eagle and his reign will last four years. Then
after his death God will send three men who are rich in wisdom and virtue.
These men will administer the laws of the Holy Man and spread Christianity
everywhere. Then there will be one Flock, one Faith, one Law, one Life, and one
Baptism throughout the World.
"The
people of the Peninsula of Europe will suffer by unnecessary wars until the
Holy Man comes. The people of Pannonia [Austria-Hungary] will be the cause of a
great war, overcome a neighbor, and become an independent nation. Then will a
Scourge of God come and chastise them, a Lion, which will reign a long time
over the nation. The Lion will come from a high mountain in the Enlightened
Nation between the Rhine and the North Sea, with a great army meet them by the
mouth of the Rhine River and in a fierce battle almost entirely annihilate
them.
"From
the Northeast, where the People live in crude Houses, they will move out in a
swarm and cut their way to the midday Sea [Mediterranean] and swarm over to
many kingdoms. There where upwards the Rivers wander [Africa], there with six
Armies in the Black Sea will surrender; as soon as they have defeated the
Stream from Rome, themselves will turn in the midday Sea...
"Not
far from the Outflow of one Plain, the great Eagle with a Leader will again
come from the Rock Island. A final battle will be delivered. The wild horde
will be defeated and made to pay, when they come, but will not win the Waste
nor return to their Homeland...
"One
day, before the Comet shines, a lot of People (that inspired present company
excepted) from Need and Misery will be wanting a Home. The great Empire in the
Sea, who are a different Folk stock and origin, will be devastated by
Earthquake, Storm and Flood. This Empire will suffer much Misfortune from the
Sea. It will be divided into two islands and part of it will sink. The distant
possession in the East will be lost through a Tiger and a Lion."
