Elkins, N. M.,
The Great Divide, Denver, Colo.:
Gentlemen:— I see you have pub
lished the prophecy of Tolstoi whicl
, was printed in August, 1914. I re
member very well it being published
| and on Jan. 4, 1915, you published an
other prophecy with the heading like
this:
THE WAR FORETOLD
Remarkable Prophecy Written 300
Years Ago Outlined Present War
In Detail.
This is printed on the tenth page
of the Great Divide, January 4, 1915.
It has attracted a great deal of atten
tion in this section and a number of
i people read it occasionally, I having
kept a copy. They think if they had
! evidence to show that this prophecy
I was made 300 years ago, they would
believe that they would know how the
! war would end on account of the pro
phecy telling the war almost in^ detail
I up to now. If you would reprint
| this prophecy it would be received
[with pleasure, as only a few thought
to keep a paper that contained the
other publication, but now would be
glad to have one.
Yours truly,
B. L. Cooper,
i In a publication called Omens of
the Great War, the following remark

deciphering the allegory it must be

“Toward the year 2,000 the Anti
christ will manifest himself. His
army will surpass in numbers all that
can be imagined.
“There will be Christians among
the legions and there will be Moham
medans and savage soldiers among
the defenders of the lamb.
“For the first time the lamb will
be all red. There will not be a single
spot in the Christian world that will
not be red, and red will be the heav
ens, the earth, the waters, and ever
the air, for blood will flow in the do

many months the beak of the white
eagle, the claws of the leopard and
the spurs if the cock will furiously
i strike at him.
“They will cross rivers over the
bodies of the slain, and these, in
places, will change the course of the
waters. They will bury only the men
of noble families, the leading com
mandants and the princes, because to
the carnage made by the armies will
be joined the wholesale death of
those who will die of hunger or the
pest,
“The Anti-christ will ask several
times for peace, but the seven angels
who walk in front of the three ani
1 mals defending the lamb have declar
1 ed that victory will only be granted
on condition that the Anti-christ be ;
crushed like straw on the barn floor.
“The executors of justice of the
lamb cannot stop fighting as long as
the Anti-christ possesses soldiers to
fight against them.
“That which makes the decree of
the lamb so implacable is that the
I Anti-christ has pretended to be a fol
lower of Christ and to act in His
name, and if he does not perish, the
! fruit of the Redeemer would be lost
! and the doors of hades would prevail
against the Savior.
“The fight which will take place
where the Anti-christ forges his arms
will not be in any way a human fight.
(This may have reference to Essen,
where the Krupp works are, and
many authorities believe that the de
cisive battle may take place in West
pnana.;
“The three animals defending the
lamb will exterminate the last army
of the Anti-christ, but they will be
forced to erect on the battlefield a
pyre as large as a city, for the bodies
of the dead will change the aspect of
the countryside, as there will be
I mounds of the slain.
“The Anti-christ will lose his
crown and will die in solitude and
madness. His empire will be divided
into twenty-two states, but none of
them will any longer possess for
tresses, armies or vessel*.
(Curiously enough, this number
i coincides with the number of Ger
man states.)
“The white eagle, by order of St.
Michael, will drive the crescent from
Europe, and will install himself at
Constantinople. Then will begin an
era of peace and prosperity for the
earth and there will be no more wars
; each nation being governed according
to its desires and living according to
1 the rules of justice.
1 | “There will no longer be Lutherans
or Schismatics. The lamb will reign
1 and the supreme happiness of hurnan
| ity will begin. Happy will be those
| who, escaping the perils of that pe
riod, will be able to enjoy the fruit of
the reign of the spirit, and of the
1 purging of humanity, which can only
I come after the defeat of the Anti
' | Christ."
