During his reign as Bishop he was famous for his miracles and it is even said to have miraculously protected Taranto from the plague and floods while still alive. His popularity in this city and surroundings lasts to this day. The basilica of Taranto is named after him, and he is patron saint to other surrounding areas. In 1071, his body was exhumed in reconstruction of the cathedral and a gold cross was found on him with his name and the word Rathcau.
In addition to all his fame and miracles there is a scintillating prophecy attributed to him whose subject is this figure we can call the Great Monarch. Here is the script as recopied and passed down through many Catholic generations:
The Great Monarch will be in war till he is 40 years of age; a King of the House of Lily, he will assemble great armies and expel tyrants from his empire. He will conquer England and other island empires. Greece he will invade and be made king thereof. Clochis, Cypris, the Turks and barbarians he will subdue and have all men to worship the Crucified One. He will at length lay down his crown in Jerusalem. ---(Fr. Gerald Culleton, The Prophets and Our Times, p. 125.)
I call this prophecy the Black Sea Prophecy. Between the lines of all prophecies written of the Great Monarch by Saints and Mystics one could conceive that he will take all of Europe, and at least the Middle East. But this one has an interesting association of Greece, Turkey (represented by the Turks), and Georgia (Clochis). The land of these three nations roughly form the southern seaboard of the Black Sea.

Turkey, with the Bosphorus Straits, Sea of Marmara, and borders with Greece, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and the Caucasus is of course a crucial location of untold strategic value in affairs of the nations. It always has been and remains so to this day. It serves as a gateway to the Aegean and ultimately Mari Nostrum, as well as to the Middle Eastern or to European lands pending which direction one faces. It is THE crossroad. With this in mind the Black Sea Prophecy of Saint Cataldus is significant and perhaps can clue us in on the movements as well as the allies of this Great Monarch forecast to eventually rise up.
What is clear at this point is that Putin and Russia are rising on the international stage. Putin is admired the world over by his brilliant politics and virtues in spite of mistakes. And it seems that Russia is slowly improving and even becoming more Christian while the Western nations are becoming less and less Christian and moral. Of all nations, Russia seems the most concerned and stalwart about preserving Christian culture as well as all culture and peace in Syria and the Middle East as well as rooting out ISIS, all while not bowing down to foul and greedy interests of the U.S., NATO, and their allies in the Middle East. Now this does come with a caveat. Putin, the Russian government, and oligarchs are closely connected to the banking cabal. As decent as Putin may seem, he to some degree a servant of the globalists. He cannot be trusted.
So why do I mention Russia in this context? Of course Russia has a significant portion of the Black Sea's northern seaboard and eventually they will hopefully have Crimea secured. Perhaps in the future this Great Catholic Monarch will be supported by and allied with Russia perhaps in a grassroots movement supported by the common Russians. On the other there is no possible way the GCM would ally with the U.S. government. The U.S. deep state is among the most evil organizations in history. From the terror attacks of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the two greatest terror attacks in history, individuals and organizations in the U.S. government have been involved in untold evil across the world up to the present day. Personally I would never ally with the U.S. government and military. That aside, even from a logistics view it would be impossible for the Great Monarch to ally with the U.S., although I don't rule out the possibility that some men from the U.S. would join his religious order (predicted by Saint Francis of Paola).
So how I tend to read this prophecy is that perhaps the Great Monarch will first attack from the Black Sea with Russia at his back. If he takes the lands of the Southern, Western and Eastern seaboard of the Black Sea first, this will put him in an exceptional position to complete his mission with the aim of peace and justice in an immense kingdom spanning Europe, the Middle East and perhaps North Africa. From the Balkans, Greece, Turkey, and Georgia he could get endless support from Russia and move on several fronts including land and sea. Russia would also benefit from this conquest because of their increasing troubles and escalation with the Ukraine and Turkey as well as NATO.
So we shall see. A key is which people will pledge themselves to the Great Monarch. As events unfold today, I'm leaning more and more toward the opinion that Russia will do so. Not necessarily the Russian government, but common Russians. It will be a grassroots movement. This of course would be immensely significant and may even open the door to other important alliances for the Great Monarch. All is not as it may seem.

Nostradamus says that the king of Europe will ally himself with a great army of red ones and white ones. This is likely referring to both the US and Russia. I also have to completely disagree with your stance on Russia. Russia's atrocities during the soviet era were on-par if not worse than what atrocities the US committed. You mentioned the attacks on Japan during WW2. This isn't really the fairest comparison, as I honestly believe that Russia would have done the same if not worse had they developed nuclear weapons in time.
ReplyDeleteWhat I believe will happen is that Russia will, in some way, be initially allied with the Muslim forces throughout the world, but something will cause the ruling class within Russia to die out and the population will be converted - Then Russia shall ally with the Great Monarch. I am also certain that China shall be fighting Russia at this time and will also be converted.
What I am most interested is how much territory the Great Monarch's rule will encompass. He will very likely have a large empire not restricted to the boundaries of the Holy Roman Empire (Germany and Italy) but it will also likely be greater than the original Roman Empire borders. Do you think the Great Monarch will conquer eastern Asia nations like China, Japan or Indonesia?
The answer to your last question is no. Essentially all lands and regions surrounding the Meditteranian will be his.
ReplyDeleteAs far as your other comments. My stance on Russia is based on the last 18 years, not the Soviet era. Russia is improving while the U.S. is falling apart. Russia is already converting. These things take time to blossom. Russia wont ally with Muslim forces or go to war with China. They tend to support shiite, but most 80 to 90 percent are sunni.
China and Russia are economic partners. They need eachother and neither would ever try to invade eachother. That is insane. I think you are stuck in a Cold War type view. The world is soon going to be multipolar. The GCMs kingdom is not going to be super rich cause of the devastation of the Little Tribulation
China will be converted when they see the Seal of the Living God on the Faithfuls foreheads especially the Angelic shepherd and GCM and those with it preaching in their region during the little Tribulation.
