Endtimes Prophecies that were Available on the Internet a Few Years Ago (Some make a lot more sense today)
St. Anthony the Abbot (4th Century)
Men will surrender to the spirit of the age. They will say that if they had lived in our day, faith would be simple and easy.
But in their day, they will say, things are complex; the Church must be brought up to date and made meaningful to the
day's problems. When the Church and the world are one, then those days are at hand.
St. Senanus (6th Century)
Falsehood will characterize that class of men who will sit in judgment to pass sentence according to law: between the
father and his son, litigations will subsist. The clergy of the holy church will be addicted to pride and injustice. Women
will abandon feelings of delicacy, and cohabit with men out of wedlock.
St. Columcille/Columba (521-597)
Seven years before the last day, the sea shall submerge Eirin [Ireland] in one inundation.
St. Malachy O'Morgair (1095?-1148)
Maelmhaedhoc O’Morgair (Latin form: Malachy) was born in Armagh, Ireland in 1094. In 1148, he died in the arms of St.
Bernard of Clairvaux, his biographer.
St. Malachy was reported to have possessed the powers of levitation, healing, and clairvoyance. While on his way to the
Vatican to assume the post of papal legate for Ireland, he fell into trance and saw a line of papal reigns stretching from
the successor to Innocent II and extending through centuries to the last of the line, identified as Peter of Rome. Malachy
assigned short descriptions in Latin to each pope when he committed his vision to paper. These mottoes usually refer
to a family name, birthplace, coat-of-arms, or office held before election to the papacy. Some of the phrases are multiple
prophecies, written with ingenious word play. For example, Pius II, who reigned for only 26 days in 1503, was aptly
described as "De Parvo Homine" (from a little man). His family name was Piccolomini, Italian for "little man."
Sometimes the personal history of the pope plays a part in the motto given by Malachy. Clement XIII (1758-69), who had
conenctions with the government of the Italian state of Umbria and whose emblem was a rose, was called by Malachy
Rosa Umbriae, the "Rose of Umbria."
The passage of time has proved doubters of St. Malachy wrong, for his prophecies have turned out to be amazingly
accurate. He even prophesied the precise date of his own death, and got it right. The prophecies concern the papacy,
starting with Pope Celestine II in 1143. In all, 112 popes and their characteristics are listed from 1143 to the "end of the
world."
Here are descriptions of the final popes according to Malachy:
Pastor et Nauta/Shepherd and Navigator: John XXIII (1958 -1963), patriarch of Venice (a city full of sailors) led
his flock to a modernization of the Church through the Ecumenical Council. John chose two symbols for this
Council -- a cross and a ship.
Flors Florum/Flower of Flowers: Paul VI (1963-1978) had a coat-of-arms depicting three fleurs-de-lis.
De Medietate Lunae/From the Half Moon: John Paul I (1978-1978) had the given name of Albino Luciani or
"white light." Half-way into his short reign, a lunar eclipse occurred.
De Labore Solis/From the Toil of the Sun [Labore could also be Effort, Distress, Suffering, Trouble, leading to
quite a few variations. The preceding is the usual translation.]: John Paul II was born during the solar eclipse
of May 18, 1920.
De Gloria Olivae/From the Glory of the Olives: The Order of Saint Benedict has claimed that this pope will
come from their ranks. Saint Benedict himself prophesied that before the end of the world his Order, known
also as the Olivetans, will triumphantly lead the Catholic Church in its fight against evil
Petrus Romanus/Peter of Rome: The Final Pope? "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there
will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock among many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city
will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people."
The time is coming when princes and peoples will reject the authority of the Pope. Some countries will prefer their own
Church rulers to the Pope. The German Empire will be divided.
Before the comet comes, many nations, the good excepted, will be scourged by want and famine. The great nation in
the ocean that is inhabited by people of different tribes and descent will be devastated by earthquake, storm, and tidal
wave. It will be divided and, in great part, submerged. That nation will also have many misfortunes at sea and lose its
colonies.
[After the] great Comet, the great nation will be devastated by earthquakes, storms, and great waves of water, causing
much want and plagues. The ocean will also flood many other countries, so that all coastal cities will live in fear, with
many destroyed.
All sea coast cities will be fearful, and many of them will be destroyed by tidal waves, and most living creatures will be
killed, and even those who escape will die from a horrible disease. For in none of those cities does a person live
according to the Laws of God.
A powerful wind will rise in the North, carrying heavy fog and the densest dust, and it will fill their throats and eyes so
that they will cease their butchery and be stricken with a great fear.
Bishop Christianos Ageda (12th Century)
In the 20th century there will be wars and fury that will last a long time; whole provinces shall be emptied of their
inhabitants, and kingdoms shall be thrown into confusion. In many places the land shall be left untilled, and there shall
be great slaughters of the upper class. The right hand of the world shall fear the left, and the north shall prevail over the
south.
Abbot Werdin D'Orante (12th Century)
The great monarch and the great Pope will precede Antichrist. The nations will be at war for four years and a great part
of the world will be destroyed. The Pope will go over the sea carrying the sign of Redemption on his forehead. The great
Monarch will come to restore peace and the Pope will share in the victory.
John of Vitiguerro (13th Century)
The pope will change his residence and the Church will not be defended for twenty-five months or more because,
during all that time there will be no Pope in Rome... After many tribulations, a Pope shall be elected out of those who
survived the persecutions.
Johannes Friede (1204-1257)
When the great time will come, in which mankind will face its last, hard trial, it will be foreshadowed by striking changes
in nature. The alteration between cold and heat will become more intensive, storms will have more catastrophic effects,
earthquakes will destroy great regions, and the seas will overflow many lowlands. Not all of it will be the result of natural
causes, but mankind will penetrate into the bowels of the earth and will reach into the clouds, gambling with its own
existence. Before the powers of destruction will succeed in their design, the universe will be thrown into disorder, and
the age of iron will plunge into nothingness.
When nights will be filled with more intensive cold and days with heat, a new life will begin in nature. The heat means
radiation from the earth, the cold the waning light of the sun. Only a few years more and you will become aware that
sunlight has grown perceptibly weaker. When even your artificial light will cease to give service, the great event in the
heavens will be near.
St. Vincent Ferrer (14th Century)
In the days of peace that are to come after the desolation of revolutions and wars, before the end of the world, the
Christians will become so lax in their religion that they will refuse to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, saying, "It is
an unnecessary Sacrament."
John of the Cleft Rock (14th Century)
Towards the end of the world, tyrants and hostile mobs will rob the Church and the clergy of all their possessions and
will afflict and martyr them. Those who heap the most abuse upon them will be held in high esteem
At that time, the Pope with his cardinals will have to flee Rome in tragic circumstances to a place where they will be
unknown. The Pope will die a cruel death in his exile. The sufferings of the Church will be much greater than at any
previous time in her history. But God will raise a holy Pope, and the Angels will rejoice. Enlightened by God, this man
will rebuild almost the whole world through his holiness. He will lead everyone to the true Faith. (Yves Dupont, Catholic
Prophecy, Tan Books and Publishers, 1973)
