Before the Empire changes
a very wonderful event will take place.

those opposed will be put (to death) like martyrs.

a great fire will fall from the sky for three nights.
The cause will appear both stupefying and marvelous;

the days will drag out into weeks,
then months, then years, then all will fail.
The authorities will condemn their useless powers.

another will take up his reign for seven thousand years.
When the exhausted Sun takes up his cycle
then my prophecy and threats will be accomplished.

Long before these happenings
the people of the East, influenced by the Moon,
in the year 1700 will cause many to be carried away,
and will almost subdue the Northern area.

From the three water signs will be born a man
who will celebrate Thursday as his holiday.
His renown, praise, rule and power will grow
on land and sea, bringing trouble to the East.

51
The head of Aries, Jupiter and Saturn.
Eternal God, what changes !
Then the bad times will return again after a long century;
what turmoil in France and Italy.
