Introduction
THE ARK OF APOCALYPSE is a fiction story about the very near
future. The author believes that secret
societies will support simultaneous civil wars throughout the world. These wars will evolve into a world wide
religious war in which 75% of the world's population will die over a period of
four to seven years!
He bases these beliefs on twenty years of study in
prophesy. He placed 104 Church approved
prophesies about the future into a computer for systematic comparisons. The total of all these prophesies painted a
perfect picture of history, past and future.
Since everything predicted by these prophets up to 2007 AD
has already come to pass exactly as predicted, the author properly assumes that
the next few years will follow the same pattern. What follows is just an outline of what these
approved prophets have said about the future.
Outline of future:
Taking off from 2007 AD … first there must be
a "Chastisement of the Earth" in order to bring about Christian unity
and one Christian Church on Earth although Jewish and Moslem religions will
remain. We believe that this chastisement will last from four to seven years.
This chastisement will start with a world wide economic crash and will end with
three days of darkness. Let me repeat that "It will end (not start) with
three days of darkness). We believe that during the chastisement there will be
two very important people, a very holy king, called "Charles the
Monarch" and a very holy Pope, a Pope who will be elected in a very fast
way.
We believe that after the chastisement there
will be only twenty-five percent of the world left, and it will take seven
years to bury the dead. We believe that the good and the bad will survive. But
we also believe that much of the bad will be converted by the Monarch and the
Holy Pope.
We believe that those who survive the
chastisement will have a period of peace that will be without much work or
needs. (As promised by Our Lady of Fatima)
We also believe that in the first part of this peace most everyone will
be holy. We also believe that in the second half of this peace faith will fade
and become lax.
After this period of peace on earth (We
believe it will not last more than forty or fifty years.), the Antichrist will
come. Enoch and Elias will come (maybe even
After converting the Jews and Moslems into one
religion, he will rebuild the
The last Pope (whose name will be Peter the
Second) and those who refuse to be marked with his mark will go into hiding.
Those who cannot hide will be martyred. More Catholics will be martyred during
this time than all the two-thousand-year history of the Kingdom put together.
In the last year of his
three-and-one-half-year control of the world, the Antichrist will kill Enoch
and Elias and place their bodies in public display in front of the
This will so anger the Antichrist that he will
promise the whole world that he too will ascend into heaven and bring them back
to earth. On the prescribed day he will ascend up into the sky. However, Christ
will strike him dead (as He did to Simon Magus), and he will fall to his death.
All the people will be very happy because the
Antichrist is dead. They will be so happy that they will have parties and
celebrations. They will have marriages and will give their children in
marriages. And then forty-five days after the death of the Antichrist, there will
be a great sign in the sky -- The Cross with Christ crucified. All the Jews,
who have survived, will see and know that he is the Christ, but it will be too
late.
Christ will appear in all his glory with all
His Heavenly Hosts, and in the twinkling of an eye, half the people of the
world will disappear into Hell.
(This is the so-called rapture preached by
Protestants, but exactly the opposite of what they think, since those
disappearing go to Hell.)
Those remaining will be lifted up body and
soul towards Christ, who will remain in the sky. All those in Purgatory will
ascend first. All the bodies of those who died, from Adam to the time of the
Antichrist, will come up out of the earth and join their souls in the heavens.
All this will take place as those remaining at the end ascend body and soul
towards Christ.
Then Christ will wipe away the earth,
purgatory, the heavens, and the stars with the movement of his hand. Amen!
Why This Book?
Considering that both
the prophets of the bible and the saintly prophets since the bible paint the
above outline of the future, why write this book at all? After all, even the
author admits that the book is fiction because
no one knows for sure how the above
outline will play out or even when it will happen. In the second half of this book, called Book
Two, some prophesies supporting this book are offered, but the truth is that no
one knows exactly how this will happen.
When you think of the
great popularity of fiction books, like Holy Blood, Holy Grail” or “The Da Vinci
Code” or the many books by Father Malachi Martin, you see that people would
rather read a story than the raw facts of things. When readers read these stupid books they
think they are true even when the author says they are fiction. If then, people are going to trust an easy to
read fiction story over the raw facts, then perhaps the best way to teach the
facts is by a fiction story.
Foreword by Author
Isaac Asimov has written hundreds of books with one basic
idea. He rewrites scientific theories or
facts in a way that the average reader can understand. That is my justification for writing this
book. It is time that some very
difficult theological arguments were presented in a way that even those readers
who only read for fun would read.
God has been pouring warnings and messages over the earth
but few are listening! Satan disguised
as The Holy Spirit, Jesus, or Mary has been appearing all over the world for
the past sixty years, (false apparitions) and it seems that everyone is
listening to him. I hope this book helps
to get more interest in God's warnings.
I hope that it will also help the reader to understand what Satan might
have to gain by making people follow him into what seems to be a holier, less
sinful, and more religious life.
THIS IS A FICTION STORY in that it has fictional
personalities and fictional situations.
This is the best fictional description of the NEAR FUTURE that my
research could come up with. It is based
on true facts and prophesies. I believe
what will happen (in the VERY NEAR FUTURE) will be so much like this story you
will think you are watching a movie that you have seen before.
For over thirty years, I have been obsessed with the study
of prophesy. Most of that time, I ran up
the wrong trees. However, over a period of time, a pattern began to
develop. This pattern seemed so certain
and yet, in some ways, so very confusing.
The answers only came to me when I realized that my brain was too small
to assimilate, delete, sort, analyze, and compare thousands of prophesies. However, modern technology had just the thing
to do all of these things: THE
COMPUTER! And so, I purchased the best
one I could find and added the proper file and search programs to a very good
word processor.
After first learning how to use this monster, I began by
gathering all the prophets and prophesies.
I entered them all into the computer, eliminated those that might not be
authentic. To do this, I used the
following formula:
1) The prophet had to have made short-term prophesies that
have already come to pass.
2) The prophet had to
be without error whatsoever.
3) The prophet had to
have a strong saintly life.
4) The prophet had to
have some other prophesies that had not come to pass as of yet.
5) And last, but not
least, it could not be about the second coming of Christ and the end of the
world, since I had already proved that this could not happen in the next 50 to
100 years.
I finally was left with only 104 prophecies about the future
that I could use in my computer. For an
example of those which I did not use and my reasons, I will offer two examples
out of hundreds eliminated.
One example is Nostradamus.
Michael de Nostradame made many prophecies that came to pass, but he
also made many that did not. Two other
factors played a part in my leaving him out of my formula. He was NOT a holy man (FAR FROM IT)! There is reason to believe that he had access
to a computation of legitimate prophecies which he then rewrote in his own
hidden style and passed them off as his own.
Another example is Melanie Clavat, who was a legitimate seer
of the Apparitions of La Salette.
However, in her later life, she became obsessed with her own importance
and thought that people should regard her as a saint. She finally became involved with a possessed
man and began to make many false prophecies that had the effect of drowning her
original legitimate ones.
Garabandal, Bayside, and Medjugorje were all found to be
tricks of Satan, as were the non-canonical gospels of the early Church, such as
"The Essene Gospel of
Nevertheless, I was finally left with 104 prophecies about
the future that seemed to be flawless.
Then, using key words to compare one prophecy with another, and filling
in the blanks left out by one prophet but used by another, the computer began
to tell a story. As it unfolded before
my eyes on the screen, I became amazed.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing!
Some of the information was so difficult to believe that I spent hours,
then days, then weeks and then months in one library after another, checking
and rechecking the validity of the information.
It was perfect to the letter.
I began to see how God used the prophets and how we should
have used them for thousands of years.
No prophet gave one hundred percent of the information needed for a
perfect understanding of the future.
But, as the prophesied events grew closer and closer, more and more
information was revealed to other prophets in other generations.
Some prophets were used by God to interpret and explain the
hidden meanings in older prophecies.
Like Venerable Mary of Agreda, who in the seventeenth century wrote the
perfect explanation of the "City of
The story you are about to read is written in fiction, third
person form, so that the reader can easily understand what many thousands and
thousands of pages of prophecy reveals.
I have found that the vast majority of readers don't understand prophecy
directly as written. And so, I offer you
an easy way to see what may happen in the future without having to spend twenty
years of gathering information.
Read this book strictly for fun; if, however, things start
to happen as outlined in this book,
read it again. Read it again for life
saving information.

CHAPTER ONE
Simon of
The colossal ship inched its way slowly up to the mooring.
The hull was black with "Lykes Lines" written in bold white lettering
on the side. A dozen white cranes reached up into the thick, wet fog from its
deck. Crowds of dirty, virulent looking Frenchmen came running up to the edge
of the dock carrying guns, clubs, picks, and whatever else they could find for
a weapon. The captain peered over the side at the forming mob, but appeared to
be unconcerned. He was a very short Japanese man with a long, ragged beard,
heavy black overcoat, and black sea cap. The dock was up the
The moment the ramp touched down on the dock, the mob
charged up the ramp and onto the ship, pushing and shoving each other to board
first. Frantically, they rushed around the deck, then down the various
stairways that led into the holds of the ship. Through every room and on every
deck they scoured and searched, not even knowing or caring what they were
looking for. The ship was completely empty. No cargo. No food. No fuel. No
loot. The hostile mob cursed and swore at one other, indignant that there was
nothing to take. Some beat on the walls and equipment of the ship with their
weapons in outrage.
One surly group decided to raid the captain's deck and
turned as a unit towards the white stairs to begin the climb. Suddenly they
stopped in their tracks, frightened by the site above them. Standing on the top
of the landing was a 7 foot 4 inch powerful black man. He was holding a two barrel 50 caliber
machine gun in one hand while the other was stuffed into the pocket of a heavy,
full-length, black overcoat. He stared down at the mob without fear or even
anger. There was no expression on his face whatsoever. They slowly backed down
the stairs without taking their eyes off the giant. Then turning away, they
continued their search until they were satisfied that the ship was empty. They
would have killed the captain if it hadn't been for the tall man who stood in
front of him known as Simon of Ethiopia.
Simon turned and looked down at the captain. "Thank you,
Hank. I hope that we meet again." He paused, looking down at the ship's
deck and rubbed the tip of the two barrel gun across his feet. "Thank you.
The time for sacrifice is here." Simon reached out and held Hank's hand
gently. "Goodbye, Hank. May God protect you!"
"Good hunting, Simon!" Tears were rolling down the
Captain’s weathered face. "May this truly be the beginning! If so … you
are a very special man." The captain hugged Simon tightly, but his hands
could only reach halfway around his enormous waist.
Simon walked slowly down the stairs through the mob that
quickly separated to let him pass. He walked down the ship's ramp and across
the dock without looking back. Two armed men met him at the end of the dock
where they exchanged greetings and led him to an old American army Jeep. As
they sped away, the captain watched from the deck where he remained. After they
were out of sight, he turned to look down at the mob. They stared up at him
without moving.
The dilapidated looking Jeep moved swiftly down a cobblestone
street next to the river. They drove quickly around the tired, battered walls
of one of
They sped up a ramp and into the court of the large fort.
The two men led Simon inside through an enormous gallery lavishly decorated
with beautiful antique tapestries which caught his eye, but then swiftly
hustled him out the back door. Outside again, Simon followed them down a path
lined with rose bushes and into a small clearing in the trees. There, in the
center of the opening, sat a modified Apache AHH-64 helicopter with two
Hellfire missiles attached to her belly, front and aft machine guns, and extra
gas tanks, all painted black. There were signs on both sides, but layers of
black tape hid the lettering.
Simon walked over to the chopper without saying a word. He
scurried around to the other side and examined everything. He looked up through
the opening in the trees at the still-foggy sky. He still carried his 50
caliber in his right hand with deceptive ease. He was so large that his gun
appeared to be average sized but was
not. He walked purposefully back to the two men and asked "You have The
Letter?"
The Frenchman silently reached into his overcoat and handed
a leather covered folder to Simon. It was sealed with a wax seal. Simon checked
the seal against the one on his ring, and then looked back at the men. With
affection but without a smile, he placed his left hand first on one man's
shoulder and then on the other's. With that, he turned away from them and
climbed into the black chopper. He looked at his odd companions as they backed
away, and then he started the engine.
Slowly, he lifted up through the trees and into the fog. He
pulled off to the right and over the
After being aloft for several hours, Simon spotted a large
corn field with an elaborate eight-pointed cross cut into the rows of corn. He
checked his map again, circled the area looking for anything out of place; then
began to descend into the center of the cross. At the head of the cross was an
old truck filled with corn. A dark-haired, middle-aged man sat motionless in
the driver's seat and stared at Simon through the dirty window. When the blades
stopped and all was quiet, the man started his truck and crept very slowly
toward the chopper, his eyes fixed on Simon. He stepped out of the truck and
pulled a long gas hose from inside the corn and drew it toward the chopper. He refueled
both tanks, continuing to stare at the large and silent man who just watched
from his seat. When the man finished, he replaced the hose, glanced furtively
at Simon one last time, and backed his truck all the way to the head of the
cross.
Simon restarted the engine and was quickly airborne. He
headed south. He would spot two more crosses before reaching his destination
but did not land. As the sun was setting, Simon thought about why he was in
this chopper and why he was doing what he was doing.
The sun was rising again. Though he had not slept, Simon was
alert and easily spotted the landmarks. He was close. He scrutinized the ground
below him. There it was. To his left was the obscure stone castle, the Tour
Magdale. There was the
CHAPTER TWO
Merlin, the Hermit
Simon quickly stepped down from the Apache, checked his
overcoat for the letter, and began walking up the hill. About halfway to the
top, he saw the entrance to the cave. He
laid his gun on the ground, took off his overcoat, and then retrieved his
weapon. Under his coat he wore a long, white, sleeveless robe with a large
eight-pointed white and gold cross on the right side of his chest. Between the
arms of the cross were two lions and two horses in gold, trimmed with a gold
circle on a black background. He walked over to the entrance of the cave.
Inside the cave, an old priest turned and saw the silhouette
of the huge man with the cannon in his hand. The old priest was sitting, facing
the cave entrance, when Simon entered. Simon could not see the priest, but he
could see the eight candles surrounding the simple altar of homemade statues.
They illuminated the cave, but cast shadows around the old man. Finally, Simon
spotted the outline of the seated priest, but his face remained obscure in the
shadowy darkness.
"Are you the priest they call Merlin, The Hermit?"
asked Simon.
After a short silence, Merlin replied simply, “Yes.”
"I have the letter," Simon informed the stoic figure.
"Are you Simon?" Merlin inquired.
"I am," he replied.
Merlin stared at Simon for a long time. Through the dim
light, Merlin could tell that he was a Herculean man. His height was obvious,
but the priest could also see that Simon was also very unafraid. He said,
"Come in."
Simon entered slowly and stepped into the candlelight. His
white robe with the bright eight-pointed white and gold cross sparkled in the
flickering lights. His double barreled machine gun seemed to magnify the light
and reflect it brightly in every direction. His immense arms strained against
the sleeves of his black shirt. Despite his imposing presence, Merlin was not
at all disturbed and remained seated.
Simon could now see The Hermit he had heard so much about.
Although Merlin remained seated, Simon guessed him to be above average height.
He could tell that the old man was extremely thin and Simon estimated his age
at round ninety years. The old priest had a commanding air about him that
filled the room. His eyes twinkled as he looked at the letter as though he was
looking forward to the events that were going to unfold. Eventually, Merlin
rose up authoritatively and approached Simon. He was about six feet tall and
walked with a slight limp. His hair and beard were very long and white as snow.
His face and hands were very rough, Simon observed, probably from living this
way. “It can’t be an easy life for such an old guy”, he thought. He was dressed in a simple brown wool robe
that had an attached hood. Around his waist was a rope tied in a knot at one
side. Strung through the rope was a three foot long cord Rosary. Merlin
extended his hand, "You have The Letter?"
"Yes sir" replied Simon, handing the leather
folder to Merlin. “Oh damn, he thought, he is a priest, not a Colonel, I should
have said, yes Father.”
Merlin checked the seal against his ring. "Ah! The time
has finally come!" Merlin paced back and forth in the cave, looking at the
folder and the Seal, shaking his head and letting out long sighs of near
disbelief, "So long! So long!" Finally he looked at Simon.
"Where is The Ark?"
There was a long silence. Simon had guarded The Ark for the
last two years and had never followed any other orders except to keep silent
about what he knew, silent except for the man standing before him. It felt
strange now to be free to share the secrets he knew. The words would be hard to
say; they had remained secret for so long. He also did not even know why he was
to reveal the information to the old Hermit, but Merlin seemed to understand
much more than Simon did. Actually, Merlin seemed to know a great deal without
having Simon say anything at all. He knew Simon's name and he knew that the
letter was for The Ark, even without Simon telling him. But now, the words had
to come out. It was an order.
"He's………He's on the
"
"Why
"He was in
"Does he know who you are?" Merlin queried, as he
ran his hand down his long pure white beard and stared with one eye at the tall
black man.
"No sir, I mean Father, He has no idea. We took him,
his wife, and his children during a stormy night. They fought us and did not
want to go. His father had just died the
week before and The Ark wanted to stay near his grave. It was very hard to move
them. On
"OK! OK! How do we get there, way out in the
Even though Merlin stopped pacing, it was quite obvious that
he was provoked by the news. Merlin understood the need for security as his own
Monastery had been bombed years before, forcing him to move into this cave for
protection. His real name was Abbott Chardone, but he had taken the new name,
Merlin, matching the secret task he had been assigned. He w as the “keeper of the secrets.” Only the
“Order” called him Merlin.
"We must go now,” said Simon, “but the journey will not
be quick. We will take our time as we must be very cautious. Everything is
arranged just as it has been for many years."
"Yes! Many, many years, more years than you
think!" Merlin picked up a small, round bag and gestured to Simon to the
door. "Let's go! The world is waiting."
Simon stepped out of the cave and was taken aback when
Merlin limped right behind him, so close as to seem to be pushing him to move
faster. They walked down the small mountain towards the black chopper. In the
distance, Simon could see two men with AK-47s, one on each hill, on both sides
of the chopper. He knew they would be there, even if he did not know who they
were. They had one job and only one job: to protect The Hermit. At last, their
task was coming to an end as Simon took charge of the old man.
Merlin looked ahead to the chopper. "I suppose I'm
going to have to get into that metal contraption, aren't I?” Merlin murmured in
an irritated tone. “I've never been in one before and I don't think I'm going
to like it. No! I'm definitely not going to like this. Will this thing get us
to
"No, this chopper could never go that far,” Simon
replied when Merlin stopped to take a breath. “We will be going by ship. But
this will get us to that ship where we will continue our journey. It's not far
from here, in that direction."
Merlin turned to see where Simon was pointing. "In the
"By ship?” Merlin protested again. “That is going to be
slow. We must get there as quickly as possible. Even though time has waited for
this moment for thousands of years, and waited patiently, from now on time is
our enemy. Let's go!"
Simon looked at him incredulously. “This old coot was full
of piss and vinegar,” he laughed to himself.
Simon had a lot of questions, but kept silent. He helped The Hermit into
the chopper respectfully. Simon knew only one thing; the Hermit had all the
answers. All the rest of The Order had bits and pieces, but The Hermit, and
only The Hermit knew everything. No one else on the face of the earth could put
it all together except Merlin. Merlin was the guardian of the principal
secrets. Simon knew some things, other members knew more, but Merlin knew it
all. This was the reason he was called “keeper of the secrets – Merlin.”
Simon stared at the man he had wanted to meet for so many
years, but still didn't ask any questions. He knew that within a few days he
would know all he needed to know, since he was the guardian. From now on,
everywhere Merlin or The Ark went, Simon would be there also protecting them.
Simon would soon know more than any other member of The Order.
Simon started the engine and Merlin stared up at the blades
as they began spinning, faster and faster and faster. Simon pulled back on the
stick and the helicopter began rising off of the ground rapidly. Merlin grabbed
the sides of his seat, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, but said nothing.
Simon looked at him and smiled with admiration and pride. Admiration, because
he could tell that Merlin was terrified from never having been off the ground before,
but he was determined! Proud, because Simon was now in control of the
situation! This was his expertise and The Hermit had to trust him and Simon
knew that he was right to do so.
They rose up to above two thousand feet and then headed out
to sea. Merlin shut his eyes as they sped toward the open water. Within what
seemed like only a few minutes, Simon saw the
“Wait!, said Simon. "Not yet! Just a few more seconds!'
Suddenly, the deck of the oil tanker began to shudder and
the entire section of the deck that the chopper had landed on began to sink. It
descended very slowly until the chopper was below the upper deck. A crew of men
pushed the chopper off the lowering platform onto the lower deck and then Simon
turned around to watch the platform rise back to its original place at the top deck.
"OK! Now we can get out." He reached across and
opened the door for Merlin. Two men helped Merlin from the chopper.
Simon and Merlin found themselves in what used to be the oil
compartment of the ship. They followed the men over to an iron ladder leaning
firmly on the side of the tank and gestured for Merlin to climb up. Merlin
never hesitated. Even though he was quite old, he grabbed the ladder and began
what Simon thought would be a difficult climb for the old man. Without help,
Merlin made it to the top and was led to his small, simply furnished room. He
immediately began to set up a table for
Simon went out on the upper deck to look out to the open sea
and think about all of the things that had happened so far. The
Two hours went by and Simon remained on the deck looking out
at the open sea. He made no attempt now to hide his robe. The white robe was
just a cotton cloth ten feet long and four feet wide with a hole in the center
for his head. It had an eight-pointed white and gold cross on the front.
Simon had received his robe two years before, but this was
the first time that he could wear it openly. An alarm sounded. Suddenly men
started running all over the tanker. One section of the deck, about ten by ten,
opened up, and a strange-looking gun popped up from below with no gunner at the
seat. Judging by the looks of the thing, no gunner was needed. It had over 100 50-calaber barrels banked in
10 rows of 10 and a radar disc on top.
Simon looked out to sea.
A dark, ominous looking vessel was rapidly approaching. Simon grabbed
some binoculars from a table nearby and scanned the other ship for people. He
could see no one. Everyone on board Simons’ ship looked prepared for battle.
Several Knights pointed hand-held rocket launchers at the ship. After a few minutes of tension, another ship
appeared as if out of nowhere. Simon let out a sigh of relief as an American
aircraft carrier charged and almost ran over the other ship. The unfriendly
ship turned and ran off into the darkness.
The carrier turned and slowly moved along side of the oil
tanker. They stayed side by side until they reached the mouth of the sea, the
Straits of Gibraltar. The straits were mined, but passage through was possible
if you knew how. The ship captain knew exactly what to do.
The American carrier turned back into the
Simon finally went below deck to his room next to Merlin’s.
The room consisted of a small bed, a chest of drawers and a lamp. There was
also a small writing desk with a lamp. He lay on the bed with his knees bent so
that he could fit his enormous length on it. He knew he would not be able to
sleep even though he had not slept for the past two days. He knew he would not
sleep, because this was what he was waiting for all these years. He knew he
wouldn't sleep, and suddenly he lost consciousness and fell asleep.
CHAPTER THREE
The
Simon never woke until he found himself shaken by a man he
didn't know.
”Wake up!, wake up! My friend! We are here. We are here. You
must hurry."
It took a minute for the giant to remember what and where he
was. Then Simon jumped up and out of bed. He was still in his clothes and he
still wore his white robe. He ran to the small sink and rinsed the sleep from
his eyes. There was a tray of food placed on the bed and as Simon had not eaten
for a long time, he gulped down some of the food. The man who still remained a
stranger to him tried to hand him his 50 caliber gun but he could not lift it.
Simon smiled and picked it up with one hand and left the room. The stranger
just stared after him as he marveled at the gentle spirited giant.
Merlin's door was open, but he was not inside. At the foot
of the stairs, a man signaled to Simon to climb up to the upper deck. Merlin
was leaning on the rail looking out to the
Merlin turned around and faced the seven foot, four inch
giant. He looked up at him, but with a look that told Simon who was the boss
and said "Are you ready? Let's go!"
Simon looked around and saw that the chopper had already
been raised to the upper deck. Twelve men stood around it looking like pillars
in a circle, all staring at Simon. "Let's go!" responded Simon,
motioning the hermit towards the black machine with the four arms waiting to
spin.
Within four minutes, Simon was lowering the helicopter down
on an open deck next to a two-story building on the top of one of the many
mountains of
Simon turned off the engine and the two men waited as the
blades slowly came to a stop. Merlin just sat there, not moving a muscle as
Simon looked at him. No one came up to the chopper to greet them. The entire
area was strangely quiet, almost frighteningly so. Simon waited for The Hermit
to speak. Finally Merlin turned towards the tall black man. "What are we
waiting for? Let’s go!"
They stepped down from the chopper, and walked slowly
towards the building. It looked even more dingy close up. When they looked
back, the view of the sea from where they stood was breathtaking. Two big glass
doors that had obviously been recently scrubbed separated the interior from the
deck. Merlin waited, and Simon reached out and opened the door.
Standing a few feet inside, like a beautiful goddess, was
the most gorgeous woman Simon had ever seen. She was not afraid of the sight of
the big black man. She stood with dignity and authority even though she wore a
pink night robe and had obviously just risen from sleep. Her hair was pulled
back and tied with a single ribbon and then hung down her back almost three
feet. Her face was olive brown and without any makeup. Prominent was her eyes, brilliant green and
not afraid to look directly into your eyes with confidence.
Simon stepped aside to allow Merlin room to get by him.
"My Lady, Good Morning! I'm Father Merlin. I'm looking
for Philip, who I believe is your husband. I assume you are
Without the slightest embarrassment for being in her
bathrobe, she made no expression of irritation, but greeted Father Merlin and
Simon politely. She made no reply but with queenly dignity, she walked out onto
the deck past Merlin and past the giant. She glided to the edge of the patio
and looked down. She appeared very heavyhearted as she pointed down the
mountain replying, "Down there."
Merlin limped over to the edge as fast as he could, and
Simon beat him to the rail. The woman was pointing to a small stone shed about
two hundred feet below. It was next to a small chapel. A trail twisted down to
the stone building with red tile roof. It was about ten feet wide, twenty feet long,
and had no walls.
"Thank you, my lady. We are his friends."
"Certainly! Of course! All of you say the same thing.
That is why we are here, on this island, in this jail, because you are all our
friends." Sophia walked away and exited through the glass doors, throwing
the words over her shoulder at them but not looking back.
"If only she knew!" thought Merlin, as he watched
her leaving the patio, "If only she knew!" Merlin waved a finger at
Simon and the two men started down the trail. They passed the small pilgrimage
The
"Are you Philip?" Merlin said into the silence.
Philip, startled, looked up at Merlin. Philip had light
brown hair that was long and very curly. His nose was long and hooked at the
end. He had not shaved as it was before 7:00 AM in the morning. He was dressed
in tennis shoes, blue jeans and a tee shirt. His eyes and face showed no fear,
only anger and determination, "I'm Philip Von Habsburg!"
"My name is Father Merlin. I'm a hermit priest from
Philip stood up and then knelt down in front of the hermit
and kissed his hand. Then he sat down heavily and looked at the coffin. He
turned towards the giant black man and stared at his mammoth size for a few
minutes. He wondered to himself about the white robe with the White and Gold
Cross. He turned back to look at Merlin. "What do you want of me?" he
asked.
"I have a letter for you from The Holy Father."
Merlin handed the sealed leather folder to Philip.
"The Holy Father? The Holy Father? I knew Pope
"He sent this letter to you! It has the seal! Open
it!"
Philip looked down at the seal and recognized its
authenticity. It was real, "Why me?" He pulled on the ribbon and
opened the leather folder, reading the letter:
"Peter, Bishop, servant of the servants of God, extends
greetings and the Apostolic Benediction to my beloved son in Christ, and
faithful Christian, Philip Von Habsburg.
"Even though it is not allowed, and even though my
fellow servants in Christ and I will be in great danger, I shall return to
"It is imperative that you come to
Your Servant in Christ, Benedict, Bishop of Rome"
Philip looked up at Merlin. "What is this? What does he want of me? The Holy Father! Me? What's going on
here?"
He looked back at the letter, and then up at the black man,
as if to ask for help, but said nothing. Then he asked Merlin, "How shall
this be accomplished? How do we go?”
"It has been arranged. We will take you safely."
"When?"
"Now! As soon as you can leave! We cannot take your
family with us. The danger is too great in
Philip thought for a few moments, bowed his head in sorrow
and then softly, almost in a whisper said, "Let's go!"
He looked over at the coffin. It contained the remains of
his grandfather, Charles Von Habsburg. Charles was the last Emperor of Europe.
He had died in exile on this island on the 1st of April 1922 ….. April fool’s
Day!!! His father, Otto, was just a small boy at the time. Otto became a writer
and columnist in order to support the family. Philip was born in

his people! He tried to unify

the coffin.
"Let’s go and see what the Holy Father wants!"

Beyond that, Zita, the wife of Charles, and the grandmother
of Philip, was also beatified. Zita went into a convent after the death of her
husband and the raising of her 8 children. In the convent in
CHAPTER FOUR
The Cause of the War
Simon lifted Philip and Merlin off the patio deck, flew down
the mountain, and set the chopper down gently on the oil tanker. As the chopper
again descended, the ship was already moving. Simon climbed out. Philip helped
Father Merlin and the threesome entered Merlin's cabin for
"What happened to this world, Father? How did this all
start? Has the whole world gone mad?" Philip seemed sad and confused,
looking for answers, but not expecting any. Philip was about forty years old.
In
Just as it was before World War I, there was no easy answer
to this question. There were many reasons. Merlin believed that the war was
planned by a secret group of men, but that it backfired on them and now was out
of control.
"Petrogold!" the good father said.
"Petrogold?" questioned Philip. "What is
Petrogold, oil?"
"Yes, but it is more than that! It is power, a greater power than armies or
even money. At one time the world's wealth depended upon the slave trade. The
slave traders of yesterday were in fact the Illuminati and the KKK. But, when
the slave trade ended, they moved quickly to gain control of the new thing that
would produce the industrial wealth of the world: fuel. The three major oil companies of the world were all owned
by members of the Illuminati."
Philip objected, "It was not the oil companies that
started this war, but the Moslems. Why would the Oil Companies, the Illuminati,
want a world-wide economic crash and civil wars? Islam wants to take over the
world."
The entire world was in a massive economic crash except the
"They didn't!" snapped Merlin. "They owned
and printed the American Dollar and the Euro. They profited from every note
they printed by lending it out at interest, mostly to governments. But they
lost control of the very governments they set up and controlled, and those
governments turned against them. The Illuminati created their own enemy and
ours."
"You mean the Moslem countries," offered Philip.
"Yes, but Big Oil should have known better. They set up
Hitler to stop the oil pipeline to
"Why couldn't they just get rid of the Radical Moslems
as well? What happened?"
"Miscalculation!" Merlin pondered all he knew
about the Illuminati and drifted off into deep thought. Should he give Philip a
complete history of the Illuminati and their recent meetings that caused World
War III, in spite of their carefully contrived plan? “Let us go for a walk on the upper deck. The night is warm and the stars should be
bright out here in the
Philip and Father Merlin got up and went out to walk along
the upper deck of the tanker ship. It
was the size of a football field not counting the captain’s deck and crew
cabins. Neither Philip nor Merlin knew that below their feet in the huge oil
compartment were thousands of specially developed weapons from hand held 9 mm
to 50 caliber riffles to rocket and missal launchers.
They walked down one side of the tanker and back the other
side. Simon followed closely behind so that he could hear and learn what was
being said. They were far off the coast of
The good Father knew about the Illuminati meetings early in
1984 and the later meetings at the Russian Politburo in March that same year.
Merlin thought about explaining this to Philip but concluded it would be too
hard to understand at this time so he just made it simple.
"It started in
Philip interrupted, “I thought the bombing of the oil fields
in
“Yes! But all these things all happened at the same time:
riots, bombings of utility plants and in almost every country in the world at
the same time. The fall of the French
government and the nation's inability to form a new one is typical of what
happened everywhere else. The French and
Italians suffered massive unemployment as a result, and, as you well know, the
Moslems are very strong in
Merlin went on and on, trying as well as he could to explain
why people throughout the world were engaged in civil wars while at the same
time many other countries were fighting international wars. War infected every
corner of the earth. Philip leaned against the railing looking down at the
water. They were turning into the
What everyone knew was that the Moslem world stopped the
flow of gas to the world and sparked bombings and riots everywhere in the world
where Moslems lived. But what Merlin
wanted Philip to know was the history.
Philip needed to know how the Western Democracies deliberately let
Radical Islam come back into power after breaking them up in World War I.
Merlin carefully considered what Philip needed to know
versus what was just too much information. Merlin himself had been informed of
the first meetings through the Order's spy system. He had read the minutes of
meetings held over the past 30 years and he pondered over them.
The first meeting was in early 1984 in
"Gentlemen, because of Ronald Reagan and Pope John
Paul,
"In counties where we control the government, communism
or socialism works best because we simultaneously control the natural
resources. When we eventually control the basic source of production, we will
control the world. In the past, all the way back to the Egyptian Empire,
slavery was this source of production. Today, in the aftermath of the
Industrial Revolution, energy is the source of production.
"With governments currently in control of oil, gas,
water and electrical power, we only have to deal with a few people who we can
control. This works best in socialism and its child, communism. If you remember
back to 1914, there was a split between those who believed that the communist
method of power was necessary and those who believed that the democratic method
of socialism would work better because people could be easily bribed. So, we
established Commuism in the East, and Socialism in the West. Then we watched to
see what worked best for us.
"Today, for us and our purposes, Democratic Socialism
is working best. However, we need a broader, more centralized government. We
have relied until now upon the United Nations, but that institution has grown
into a mutated octopus with too many tentacles to control! It is not serving
our needs as it should."
At the end of that meeting, it was decided to end the Cold
War and support the European Union instead of
the Central Committee of the Communist Party, and the Supreme Ideologists!
However, the real power behind the Politburo was the Illuminati, the meeting
was in fact instigated by them.
No one noticed anything out of the ordinary, because these
meetings were held every Tuesday. In
"Gentlemen, we can no longer sustain a Cold War with
the West. Our economy has suffered substantial deterioration over the last
seventy years. In fact, the pace of our economic decline has quickened over the
most recent few years and our situation is critical. At the same time, the
capitalist
economy of the West has enjoyed spectacular growth since 1914, despite its
setbacks in the 1930's and periodic recessions thereafter. Except for our own
nuclear deterrent, we have no conventional defense against the West.
"Although we split from the European Socialists in
1914, it seems that we should now consider rejoining them. I believe it is only
in this way that we will be able to gain the international influence and power
that we have been seeking. To accomplish this, we must be perceived by the
West, and in
particular the
The General Secretary paused for a minute, looked at his
notes, and then continued:
"We must support and help the European Union and, in
time, join with it. It has become self-evident that we cannot defeat
"I would like the Politburo to consider that we have
not taken over a country in the last six years by infiltration. The
Finally, a perplexed Major General Borg spoke, "How do
we manage to bring to an end a seventy year-old system of government?"
Molotish, the hard-nosed head of the KGB, slowly rose out of
his chair to get everyone's attention. When at last silence descended over the
table, he sat down imperially, leaned forward with an authoritative air, and
spoke slowly and decisively into his microphone, "Will we not look like we
just lost the war?"
Kolomonish, the head of GRU responded, "Not if we plan
it very carefully."
Molotish persisted: "Though appearances are important,
and our global standing cannot be ignored, I really do not care if we call it
communism, socialism, or democracy so long as we continue to hold absolute
power."
With that, the meeting ended surprisingly early. It had been
easier than anticipated to generate the consensus the Illuminati needed to
carry off this daring scheme. Later in
"We have the communist leaders believing that ending
communism is in their best interest. They have 20% of the world's oil reserves.
We can take control of that, modernize their technology, pump it into Europe

countries. Our goal is to put an end to the United Nations. In its place, we
will construct three geopolitical entities. We will build a United Europe, United America, and United
Asia. Each region will have its own currency: the Euro, the Amero, and the
Asian. The Dollar will continue to be the international currency, but it will
not be controlled by
“Nationalism will prevent us from calling these entities
governments, so we will have to call them Economic or Defense Treaties, Congresses, or Co-operatives.
Any name will do, but we must not favor any one nation or existing name. At
length, there will be only three world-wide governments
and only four currencies. In the
meantime, we must solve the escalating Moslem problem, especially as it has a
profound impact on our oil supply."
Philip looked at Father Merlin, who started walking
again. Merlin was quiet for a long time
and Philip wondered what he was thinking about.
There was still no land in sight, only stars and ocean. Everything was calm. What Merlin wanted the
"Philip, as you know, in the last 100 years we have
fought two world wars, given birth to the first atheistic governments in the
history of the world, warped individual morality by popularizing and spreading
all manner of birth control, legalized abortion and homosexuality, and then even
went so far as
to try to force homosexuality and abortion on the rest of the world. In some
countries, we have even outlawed religion! Have you considered whether or not
all of this was random, or carefully planned?
“Notice that all of these events have one common denominator
that distinguishes them: they all attack humanity by first attacking the living
principles that God has laid down for us. This commonality suggests not
randomness, but active planning. In our world, who hates God, and therefore his
children, with such intensity while at the same time possessing both the global
reach and the financial wherewithal to execute such a plan? Yes! The
Illuminati!
"These elites (those invisible, fabulously wealthy
people lurking behind and controlling national leaders) consider the earth's
natural resources their private possessions and they do not want to share them
with any emerging, developing Third World Countries. They also consider
anything but "Aryans' their slaves and just another natural resource that
they can exploit for their own gain, as they did with the North and South
American slave trade.
"The Real Power (the Illuminati) wanted to keep
developing countries as backward countries so that they could take their
natural resources - oil, gold, food, minerals, and gems and use them for
themselves. They especially wanted this cheap labor to be used to steal these
things and ship them to the leading nations of the world. The Illuminati
controlled these nations, so they would naturally assume control of these
plundered resources. As you know, whoever controls natural resources has
immense power. The pursuit of this power via control of the world's most
valuable resources (especially human resources) is the reason for all the wars
throughout the history of the world.”
Merlin was on a role now and did not want to stop but Philip
interrupted.
“Father, are you trying to tell me that a small group of
people in
Philip could not accept any Western peoples supporting
Jihad. Philip knew that Jihad was prophesied by Mohammed followers since the
eighth century and the 12 caliphs. Philip
knew that traditional Moslems would never accept a world of many faiths, not
even the Mason’s two gods.
But Merlin would not let Philip change the flow of
thought.
“Philip, understand first how we came to this point. Then you will see that Our Lady used a
satanic force to destroy another satanic force.
But to end this war we must know the cause and the enemy. Follow my thinking!
“After the industrial revolution, money and power derives
from oil. John David Rockefeller was one of the first to see this and although
not in the oil business himself, founded Shell oil, now Standard Oil. What he
did was develop oil tankers for the railroad and lease them cheaply to wildcat
oil riggers and oil refineries, causing a great expansion of oil exploration, production,
and refining. At the moment of greatest advantage, he withdrew his leases from
them. No longer having the means to get their oil to market, they were forced
to choose between bankruptcy or selling out to Rockefeller. That was really no
decision at all. In this way, he captured all the oil in
"On the other side of the world, another member of the
Illuminati, Rothschild, developed the British-Persian Petroleum Company to
seize Persian (Iranian) oil. It was then left to Royal Dutch Shell, also
controlled by the Illuminati, to develop the oil of the East Indies,

It was getting cold on the deck of the ship so Simon got
three wool robes for them to rape up in.
Simon did not want the good Father to stop talking but he knew that soon
they would have to get some sleep.
Philip did not react to what Merlin was saying. He either knew it already or just did not
care. He probably knew everything that
was being said since his father, Otto, was a very well educated and political
figure in

Philip did not say a word but he could not believe that all
these wars were planed to control oil and planed by the very people he knew
well. Merlin, however, did not stop
talking and Philip was not yet sleepy. A
chill came over him but he just watched the sea and the long line of light the
Moon made against the water. Merlin made sure that Philip was listening and
then went on. He was obsessed with

these was
"What did the Illuminati want?" Philip seemed to
understand the history but not the motivation.
"Financial security at first! They became powerful in
the early 17th century by buying cheap goods from
Philip interrupted,
“There is nothing wrong with this. That is just good
business. You are implying that they are the real enemy and created this war
and the problems we are having in the world today. I see it as strictly a Moslem or religious
war. I see it as Radical Islam trying to
take over the world. I do not see what
the Illuminati has to do with all this.”
“You have to understand why they became organized into a
group of the world’s most wealthy people and then how they created the hatred
that breaded the Radical Islamic branch of what was becoming a moderate
religion. But you must go back to why
they organized in the first place.
"They soon began to fear the loss of their wealth to
governments, either through taxation or outright confiscation. They had the
money alright, but governments had armies. At the whim of a despot or two, all
could be lost. So, to protect their wealth, they met and decided to devise and
execute the most sophisticated plans in human history for one objective only -
to protect themselves against all governments.”
“That seems logical,” interrupted Philip, “I would have done
the same thing. This is still not a
condemnation of these people.”
“That is true,” Merlin offered, “but to do this they had to
find ways to control governments. At first, they bribed government officials,
kings, prime ministers, and presidents. Soon, they realized that this was
futile. They would never exhaust the number of extended hands, and as those
hands grew stronger as they fed off their growing wealth, they could be turned
against the Illuminati. These captains of capitalism understood that there was
indeed no honor among thieves. They had to find a different way. So, they
advanced their thinking and realized that they had to become more powerful than
governments. The bribes that they would pay in the future would be the very
titles of king, prime minister, and president.
“They would place their own hand-picked favorites in the
state houses of their choice, but retained the power to remove any independent
rebel. The Illuminati knew that they had to become so powerful, and so wealthy,
that they would either control a nation's armed forces themselves, or maintain
their own secret, hidden army. As profitable as their current businesses were,
they needed additional, large sources of revenue. The answer was the African
slave trade. They were the first to get into the slave trade and in fact
instigated the Civil War in
"Eventually, the slave trade was outlawed almost world
wide. Fortunately for the Illuminati, this happened virtually at the same time
as the next, greatest source of wealth in the modern economy surfaced: OIL.
Philip was getting impatient with Merlin but said
nothing. This was not getting to the
point of what was obviously a war of religion, Moslems against the rest of the
world. He knew Mason’s believe in two
gods, Lucifer and God, and he knew the Illuminati’s satanic rituals were sinful
but he did not consider their wealth sinful.
In fact, Philip thought their business practices were rather smart.
But Merlin was about to show how a few rich people and their
greed caused all the wars then and even now.
"Suddenly across the globe in
"Funny thing about all this was that none of these countries
made weapons and yet these rebels, dictators, drug lords, and Islamic radicals
had all the most modern weapons at their disposal without limits. Toward the
end of the twentieth century, the industrialized countries suddenly began to

"Cheap labor was the one constant in the plans of the
Illuminati. As the 1970's dawned, many third world nations were eagerly
anticipating the benefits of their emerging modern economies. This could not be
tolerated because it would free them from the iron grip of the Illuminati. So,
a simple plan was devised.
"Unable to continue the development they had started,
poor counties were forced to borrow massive amounts of money from the World
Bank just to keep their economies functioning. In an unholy homage to J.D.
Rockefeller, the World Bank was controlled by the same big three oil companies.
In time, they foreclosed on these loans and exchanged them for control of the
natural resources of these countries. The people had no idea their patrimony
had been auctioned off to the lowest bidder, or that soon they would become
enslaved in an altogether new way: buying the water, power, and fuels they
needed to survive would consume their modest incomes. In short, they were
working just to pay for what had been stolen from them."
Merlin and Philip walked back and forth on the deck of the
oil tanker and both men were struck by the stark contrast of what they saw:
toward God's heaven was a night sky punctuated with an endless array of
luminous stars while here on Man's Earth guards stood watch on all four sides
of the ship.
Merlin wondered how Man had managed to stray so far from the
majesty of the Almighty. Meanwhile, Philip was struggling with a natural
skepticism, but Merlin's knowledge of history, and his telling of it, was
strangely persuasive. Nevertheless, Philip was unnerved. Some of the very
people Merlin was calling enemies of God were his friends. He decided to remain
silent for now. Later, he would demand answers.
"With the rise in energy prices, the development of the
"Radical Islam did not believe in modernization,
education, or materialism. This theology gave the Illuminati the cover they
needed to keep the Arab Middle East backward. They used Radical Islam to attack
industrialization and modernization with the lie that human progress was
un-Islamic and a Western plot against the servants of Allah.
"The real goal was actually aimed at the brown-skinned
masses of the

"Another project was "Islam and the West,"
begun at Cambridge in 1977 with Muslim Brother and former Syrian prime minister
Maarouf Dawalibi, in collaboration with the Club of Rome's Peccei and Britain's
Lord Caradon, along with Dr. Alexander King's International Federation of Advanced
Study.
"What exactly is the Club of Rome, anyway?" Philip
interrupted. "I've heard of them, but I'm not altogether sure what they
are or what they do."
"Well, officially, it was a non-governmental
organization made up of scientists, economists, businessmen, and former heads
of state who publicly espoused the belief that humanity was in control of its
future and that all that was required to create a prosperous and peaceful world
was careful planning by men of good will from all over the world. However, in
truth, it was a subversive organization dedicated to giving birth to the New
World Order via the birth pangs of global conflict. These wars would strip
humanity of the civil rights and freedoms that they inherited from Christianity
and indeed, place the blame on religion itself. At last, the people themselves
would cry out in desperation for autocracy and an end to religious
differentiation. The result, to be given to them upon request, was to be a
one-world government and a one-world religion, fashioned in the image and
likeness of the Club of Rome and those who controlled it. But, I'm getting
ahead of myself.
"Islam and the West assembled a policy outline
effectively defining Islam as a backwards religion in a struggle with science
and technology. The Globalists of the Club of Rome were determined to promote
only the repressive anti-Western minority elements of Islam and the Muslim
Brotherhood was the key to selling this view to the world.
"The Muslim
Brotherhood was founded by Hasan al-Banna as a religious secret society.
British Intelligence cultivated ties with the Brotherhood through agent Freya
Stark. These covert connections were used to keep track of the growing German
presence in
Philip had had enough. This was too incredible. "Are
you trying to convince me that the West created its own worst enemy, Radical
Islam? No way! That's just too hard to believe. It is way beyond belief!"
Merlin thought for a moment, rubbing his chin and hanging
his head down to his chest. "OK!" Merlin eyes lit up as he thought of
something that would convince anyone.
"Remember when

Philip was getting a good part of this, but there was so
much detail. It would have helped had he enjoyed a better knowledge of 20th
century history. Also, he didn't like appearing to be so dense! He had a lot of
questions, but he feared the answers would only provoke more uncertainty so he
chose to be silent.
Merlin continued,
"At first, Western support for Islam was provided openly
and accepted by the leadership of the Islamic movements without reservation.
Islam had a good image in the West up to this time. The Islamic movement was
noted most for its anti-communist stance and there was little to suggest that,
soon, conservative Islam would turn against the West.
"After the Six
Day War in 1967, the power of the Islamic movements greatly increased.
Islamic theology overtook secularism, and a more virulent form of Arab
nationalism emerged. The Arab community saw the West stand idle as

profound. Arab nations suddenly became the benefactors of a huge increase in
oil revenues, from $3.01 a barrel in early 1973, to $11.65 a barrel in early
1974. Globally, they were now a powerful force.
"But while this seemed like a dramatic anti-West
posture, the rise in oil prices was actually something that had been planned
previously by the Anglo-American Establishment and mentioned at the Bilderberg
conference in May, 1973 in
"The what?" Philip couldn't stop himself. The
question popped out too quickly.
"The Bilderberg group was very small, about 130 of the
most powerful people in the world, and it was very secretive. Their meetings
were closed, but most of the Bilderbergers were also members of the Club of
Rome, and both groups shared the same Globalists ambitions.
"Anyhow, Kissinger was the point man in engineering the
Arab-Israeli conflict that created the excuse for the oil price hike. This in
turn helped to rescue
the Third World to Anglo-American banks. Eventually, this led to the takeover
of their natural resources as a trade in-kind for some of the debt."
Merlin could see that Philip was having trouble following
all of this, so he decided to offer a grand generalization.
"Look Philip, consider that all the wars of the last
hundred years have been for oil and to keep Third World Countries backward.
Also consider that often these plans came back to bite the people who planned
them. All you have to do is follow the money.
“Africa was attempting to break loose from World Bank
control at the same time South America was electing people who wanted to break
ties with the World Bank as well.
"While all this was happening the Big Three wanted to
keep oil prices high and stop the development of all alternative energy sources.
But high oil prices were weakening global currencies and pushing the world very
close to a worldwide economic crash. The United Nations failed. The European
Union was not working. World Government seemed far off, since only
"As in the 1700s when the Illuminati first got together
to protect themselves from governments, the global situation had come back to
the place where it had started.
"But the goal of this Satanic secret society had not
changed over the centuries: they wanted control of the world. To do that they
needed to have a One World Government controlled by themselves and, despite all
their planning and all their secret meetings, it was getting out of reach. They
needed a new and drastic strategy to regain control of the process and then
ultimately, the world.
"The proper thing to do, the moral thing, would have
been to let the
"If Brazil and other Latin American Countries would
have gained control of their economies and used their resources to improve the
lives of the masses like Costa Rica and Panama did, they would have avoided
repetitive, destructive civil conflicts and instead contributed significantly
to global wealth and prosperity. If Western Governments would have helped
nascent democracies in Africa instead of turning a blind eye to them,
"But these things would not make the richest people in
the world richer; they would take away their source of power: cheap labor and
cheap natural resources. And besides, they did not want the world better off;
they wanted to control it!
"Think! Why did they try so hard to create a one world
SOCIALIST government by supporting Socialism worldwide for so long? Because in
a Socialist system, the government controls all the natural resources and the
production of goods and services. The Illuminati can control governments
easily, but it is much more difficult to control millions, billions, of people.
Now, of course, all the plans that they had formulated over the last 150 years
had fallen apart. To regain control of the processes leading to a One World
Government, they needed another war. Then, when the world was in the midst of
total anarchy, they would come forth and offer the only workable solution:
world government. At that point, once the people were introduced to the idea,
it would not be a matter of imposing World Government; bone-weary of death and
destruction, the people would demand it!”
Philip pondered all that Merlin was saying but it did not
make sense. This war was not prearranged. There were too many things that
seemed to just happen and no one could have organized it.
But to make matters even worse for them, the American oil
shale fields of the mid-west were opened up to private companies. These were
the largest oil reserves in the world and soon, nobody would be paying nine
dollars a gallon for oil!
Eventually, a secret meeting of the most powerful Illuminati
was held and it was decided to quickly cut off all oil to
To do this they
needed to put a man as President of America, who would stop oil production,
stop fighting Islam and increase government spending to the point of
bankruptcy. With heavy financing
from non-American sources, they got their man.
But he was so radically socialist, and pro-Muslim, he frightened
Americans and they quickly got rid of him. In only two years he awakened
Americans to the horrors of any kind of socialism.
Another big mistake was trying to unit Moslems and
socialists world wide! Moslems and left-wing socialists are never united on
anything.
Suddenly the Straits of Hormuz were blocked by sinking oil
tankers one on top of another.More ships were sunk in the straits of Oman and
Djibouti; the docks of the Panama Canal were bombed and the Suez Canal closed.
Suddenly, oil transportation routes were stopped almost all over the world,
even to Europe,
As a consequence, riots erupted in
Within days the
The real reason
Riots everywhere else quickly morphed into civil wars all
over the world, with few exceptions. Oddly, out of all that chaos, there seemed
to be an organized attack on the entire world. Even the Illuminati could not
figure out who organized it. Merlin himself had suspicions, but no proof. This part of the history of the war Philip
knew.
Philip and Merlin went back to the cabin to get out of the
cold. A Knight brought them some coffee
and cakes. Philip sipped on his coffee
and listened intently to Merlin. He wondered who he was, but didn't ask. He
knew he was a Priest, but how was he connected to The Holy Father? Why did he
come for him? Who was that giant black man with the Red Cross? Philip picked up
his pipe, and Merlin went on about the war.
"As you know war has gripped every country in the
world. In
"You were there? You saw him?" Philip interrupted,
almost standing up.
"Yes! I was there! He has few friends now. A handful of
Cardinals stay with him. Most deserted him. Some think we have no pope, but he
lives indeed."
"What is the Pope like?"
"He is strong. He never gives up. He makes plans and
then executes them."
Philip was more puzzled than ever. This Priest brings him a
letter from The Holy Father, a man he seems to know a lot about, but why? He
dresses like a poor beggar, and yet he was with The Pope! He is old, crippled,
and poor, but that well-dressed giant obeys and protects him like a king. It
was well beyond strange, but Philip asked no more questions. He again lifted
his countenance and surveyed the spotted sky. The ship moved slowly through the
Mediterranean towards
CHAPTER FIVE
The Holy Father
The oil tanker moved slowly to within site of
Philip stared at the ancient city and wondered aloud, "How could it
come to this?" Not only lay people have died, but thousands of Priests,
Nuns, Bishops, and Cardinals. Merlin seemed to know a lot about what had
happened to
All Philip knew was that Pope Benedict XVI was shot and killed by an
Italian born Moslem in a response to a call for his death. He was killed during a meeting of his
Cardinals. The Moslem road into the Sistine Chapel between two hundred
Cardinals; shot Pope Benedict with a machine gun, and then 47 Cardinals before
blowing himself up with a hand grenade strapped to his motorbike. Even before
the Pope was buried, a new pope was elected by the remaining Cardinals. The new pope was only a priest and not a
bishop, but he was a Cardinal. He was a
theological advisor to the conference from a
Why, though, would this new Pope return to
Simon suddenly appeared on the deck. He was wearing his white robe and
with his right hand he gripped that frightening cannon. Respectfully, he asked,
"Are you ready?"
Merlin looked at Philip and suggested, "I think you should change
clothes."
Philip almost laughed. He was wearing blue denims, a blue hooded
sweatshirt, and blue tennis shoes. In contrast, Merlin looked like a bum. He
guessed that his attire was a little too casual for a visit to the Pope, but
the dark brown, hooded robe that Merlin wore wasn’t any better. The ends of his
long sleeves were frayed and the hem was all but gone. He had a rope for a
belt, with a long black Rosary that was also made of rope and tucked under the
belt. What a sight!
After Philip regained his composure, he replied teasingly, "I think
I'll go as I am or I'll make you look bad. Besides, with all I see from here, I
think it would be healthier to be dressed for speed than for image."
"As you wish," Merlin replied, shaking his head.
"Then let's go!" Simon insisted as he motioned to one of the
hands standing by an electric panel. The hand pulled a lever and the chopper
soon appeared. Simon opened the glass door. Philip helped Merlin up and climbed
in behind him. Simon went around and mounted on his side. He started the blades
swirling and then sat for a minute looking at the morning sky.
Soon, two solid black Apache AHH-64 helicopters, just like Simon's,
appeared along both sides of the oil tanker. Merlin did not even blink, but
they scared Philip almost to death. He jumped with a start and hit his head on
the roof of the cockpit. Simon smiled at the
The sun sat atop the mountains now and shone directly into their eyes.
Philip could not see straight ahead, so he looked down. The city looked like it
had been nuked repeatedly, but Philip knew that most of the damage had been
done by
Before Philip knew it, they were hovering over the great
The papal apartments were just gone, the first casualty of war. The
museum had been looted, and whatever could not be carried out was laid waste.
The chapel named after Pope Sixtus IV had been sacked. The work of Roselli,
Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Signorelli, and of course Michelangelo was mostly lost
forever. The once spectacular, imposing ceiling had collapsed. Ominously,
though, the figure of Christ on the back wall, sitting in Final Judgment of the
world, seemed to radiate out of the confusion. The demons reaching up for the
damned must have turned and smiled hideously as the sons of man devastated the
artistry of their forefathers on their way to their well-deserved eternal
reward. Significantly, the tombs of the popes had not been opened, and their
sacred bones rested still in the sanctuary of St. Peter’s lower level. But
everywhere else there was destruction, as if Satan himself could no longer be
restrained by the hand of God. But Philip knew better than that. God had merely
released the leash a little; the ancient serpent was merely in the process of
strangling himself with the surplus line.
The two support choppers dropped to within a few feet of the ground and
spun around very slowly. The few people in the square ran away as quickly as
they could. The right chopper stopped moving for a moment and sat suspended in
the air, pointing at the ruins to the entrance to the square. Suddenly, both
machine guns spat fiery rounds through the entrance and down the long street as
a warning, making sure they hit nobody. Finally, it settled down and stopped
its blades, but kept its guns trained on the entrance. The second chopper
landed near the steps of the Basilica.
Simon spun his bird around very slowly, looking very carefully all
around. Finally, he lowered it to the ground between the other two, waited a
minute while performing a final scan, and then shut off the engine.
"Wait here a minute," Simon said as he grabbed his M-60 and
stepped down slowly from his seat. He walked around the chopper with a firm
grip on the machine gun. Everything was quiet. He lowered his weapon and raised
his right hand. One by one, over forty men stepped into the open square, Each
had strange looking automatic weapons. They were specially made with movable
spring loaded barrels and electronically shot.
They could be changed from 9mm to 50 caliber and because of the spring
barrels still hand held. Each stepped
forward to within 40 feet of the chopper. They then stopped and formed a
circle, saying nothing.
From the top steps of the great Basilica of St. Peter a man appeared
dressed just like the rest of them, except that he had no gun. He walked
quickly down the steps towards Simon. They hugged each other like old friends
and talked for a few seconds. Simon looked at Philip and with an upward turned
palm, pointed his hand at Philip.
Philip watched in wonder. Simon and the other man started towards the
chopper door. It was obvious that, whoever these men were, they went through a
lot of trouble to get Philip here, and get him here safely. But who were they?
They had kidnapped him and his family from
Simon opened the door, and Philip stepped down. The other man said
nothing but kept staring at him. They went around and helped Merlin down.
"Je m’appelle Pierre de Saint Clair, Abbe de l’Ordre," he informed
Philip as he bowed before him.
"That's a fancy name." Philip thought, "What does it mean
and what is the Order?" But he only replied, "Oh! You speak
French?"
"Yes!" He bowed his head again and pointed towards St. Peter's
dome. "Shall we go?"
Philip followed him up the long steps, carefully stepping around the
fallen columns and pieces of statue. When they reached the top of the steps,
Philip realized for the first time that the roof of The Greatest Roman Catholic
Church on Earth was partially gone, except for the dome and the Altar. The
Church was in the shape of a cross, with the dome and the Altar at the center.
They were walking down the long marble floor of the nave where thousands of
Cardinals once gathered for the councils, where hundreds of Popes and kings had
walked, where thousands of saints had stood in awe of the majesty and the
beauty. But now the roof was damaged, the walls were bare and scarred, the
internal statues were damaged, and the Pieta was splattered with paint.
At last they reached the Altar. The four twisted gold pillars still
supported Bernini’s canopy, and together with the Altar they sat beneath the
great dome, barely held up by the remaining pillars and walls! St. Peter's tomb
was still there, beneath the canopy, untouched. Steps led directly down to it,
and Philip descended without asking permission. He knelt down on one knee and
bowed his head in front of the tomb. After a moment of prayer, he rose and
climbed back up the stairs, went around the three men to the main Altar, and
climbed the steps to the top. He then knelt down on both knees before the
Tabernacle and bowed down to the marble floor. He remained in that position
praying for a few minutes, pleading for an end to this global madness and
suffering, for an end to the persecution of the Church, an end to the millions
and millions of deaths.
He made the sign of the cross and lifted his head from the floor, but
remained on his knees. The sun shot rays of light all through the Altar and it
bounced off the golden pillars like lasers. Philip's eyes had been closed, so
it was difficult to focus at first, but as he strained them through the
brightness, he became aware of a long white robe directly in front of him. He
squinted and looked up. It was The Holy Father.
Pope Benedict stood right in front of Philip, only a few feet away. He
wore a white robe with a wide white belt, a white Rosary, and a white cap on
top of black curly hair. His skin was black and his eyes were sparkling and
soft. In his left hand was a gold staff curved at the top like a shepherd's
stick, and in his right hand was a large sword, golden from top to bottom with
red and blue stones in the cross-shaped handle. The tip sat on the floor, and
Benedict held the top forward and to one side.
Philip did not attempt to get up nor did he want to speak! He had never
been in the presence of the Holy Father before, even though he had been to St.
Peter's many times.
"You are Philip Von Habsburg?" Benedict questioned very
softly.
"Yes," Philip answered softly, quickly realizing that he had
addressed the Holy Father rather badly and then adding, "Your …. Your
Holiness."
"I have longed to see you face to face. Yes, at last we meet as I
knew we would one day. For many years the popes before me have waited for
you."
"Your Holiness, I do not even know you, let alone know that you
were looking for me." Philip was still kneeling, but now only on one knee.
"Bow your head for my blessing." With the help of Simon, the
black shinned Pope raised the large sword and laid it on Philip's right shoulder.
"By the power vested
in me from God through Peter and all his successors throughout the centuries, I
proclaim you King of
Philip had started to rise to protest, but the sword was heavy. When the
blessing was concluded, Simon helped remove the sword from his shoulder, and
Philip stood. It was then he realized how tall the Holy Father was in stature,
tall and thin.
"Most Holy and Sweet Father, I don't know what all this means, but
I am just a husband and father. I want nothing more of this world than to be
left with my family in peace. My grandfather was king, but I do not have his
qualities, nor his ambitions. He was a saint of a man, as was my father, but
I…my Lord, I have been…a great sinner."
"My poor sweet friend, I have not picked you. God selected you from
the beginning of time, just as He selected Moses, and not because Moses
deserved it! Quite the contrary, Moses was a coward and wanted no part in God's
plans. But he obeyed, as will you."
Philip ran his hand through his hair and shook his head from side to
side. "No! No! No! How can I be king of
"Philip, Philip, Philip! Oh man of little faith! We are taught by
the words of the Gospel that in this Church and in its power there are two
swords, a spiritual and a temporal one. For when the Apostles said, 'Behold,
here are two swords, the Lord did not reply that it was too many, but enough!
He who denies that the temporal sword is in the power of Peter, has wrongly
understood the Word of the Lord when He says: 'Put up again thy sword into its
place.' Therefore, both are in the power of the Church: the one, indeed, to be
wielded BY the Church, and the other FOR the Church. The former rests in the
hand of the priest, the latter is wielded by the hand of kings and knights at
the behest of the priest. For it is necessary that one sword should be under
another, and that the temporal authority should be subjected to the spiritual,
for the Apostle says, 'There is no power but from God and those powers that
are, are ordained of God."
Philip dropped to his knees again and looked up at the Holy Father with
bewilderment in his eyes, "Be it done unto me according to your will, Your
Holiness, but I have no idea what to do."
"Go with Father Merlin and he will show you," replied
Benedict, turning towards Pierre de Saint Clair and taking a leather folder
from him.
"This is my official de fide declaration that you are now King of
France, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and King of
Philip took the binder in both hands and looked down at it with glassy
eyes. He turned towards Simon. The Giant handed him a beautiful emerald
studded, golden crown. Benedict placed it on Philip's head.
"This is the crown of St. Steven. It has been preserved these many
years for this moment. May the blessings of St. Steven go with you. And this is
the sword of Joseph of Arimethea. May it help you defeat all the enemies of
"But what about you, Holy Father?"
"I will be safe here in
Philip walked down the steps of the altar and out the violated side wall
of the dome without turning back. Twelve men in white robes with red crosses
followed behind him, their strange looking guns at the ready.
Outside, Philip stood in disbelief. Blue denim slacks, blue sweatshirt,
tennis shoes, a golden crown, a golden sword, and real tears made of him a
silly spectacle. What now for this
reluctant 40 year-old king?
CHAPTER SIX
The Blood Line
Simon set down on the southern shores of
Merlin, with assistance, and Philip disembarked. The Giant reached into the back seats and
removed the crown and sword. With a new
sense of caution, imbued by the somber Papal coronation, Philip looked around. On the east hill next to one of the choppers
was an octagon shaped castle, very old but reasonably well preserved. In the valley between the two hills was a
small Church and rectory, also very old but still functional. Behind the Church sat a large lake. A quantity of men (Philip could not tell how
many from that distance) were working on a large water pump and seemed to be
trying to drain the entire lake with a 12 inch hose. Philip disregarded the workers and followed
Merlin towards the rectory.
Merlin opened the door and entered, followed by Philip and
Simon. No one was inside, but food and
wine had been provided and arranged on the table. Philip sat down and leaned
back in the chair. He was wary, totally
confused and exhausted. Simon gazed out the
window and then stood by the door, sword at his side. He had set the crown on the table.
"You are very quiet," Merlin offered to the newly
crowned King Philip, as he sat at the table.
Philip just looked at him with puzzled eyes and said
nothing.
"I'm sure you have a lot of questions, but you haven’t
spoken a word since we left
Philip stared at the monk for a long time. Calmly and quietly he said, "I've been
thinking and I think you are all crazy, or at least you take me for being
crazy. Strange men wearing insipid red
crosses kidnap me and my family; a crazy old monk describes a centuries-old
conspiracy that nobody else in power seems to have figured out before him and then
he escorts me into the presence of the “Holy Father”, who is likely some nice
fellow impersonating the pope; finally, this ersatz pope tells me that I’m the
new Holy Roman Emperor. I have behaved
quite foolishly, and quite naively. For
a while, I actually believed all this nonsense!
Until now, I have been quite submissive, but still I have not determined
what you are really up to. I have no
money, so it's not that. My family is
quite poor and could never pay a ransom.
I am not politically valuable to anyone, so it cannot be that. I know nobody of significance, so I cannot
have information you might want. So, Mr. Merlin, or Father Merlin, or whatever
your real name is, what is this elaborate farce all about and what do you
really want of me and my family?” Philip
subconsciously rubbed three fingers up and down his large nose as he glared at
the old man.
"Oh, man of little faith." Father Merlin said as he shook his head back
and forth while pacing the floor. Then standing tall and trying hard to be
slightly angry he said, "You have no idea who you are, do you? You see the world is falling apart around
you, but all you want is a nice quiet family life! You pray that God will end
the madness, while you indolently sun yourself on the shores of
Eyes flashing in anger at last, Philip shouted despairingly,
"What can I do? The world has gone crazy. I'm only one person. I can
write, but there are no newspapers, no publishers. I am not a fighter. I
couldn't defeat a small boy in battle!"
Catching himself, Philip lowered his voice and looked down
at the floor. "I've believed in peace my whole life. Peace? What a stupid
word nowadays. There is no peace anywhere in the world." Philip looked up
at Simon. "Now, that big monster over there, he could fight. Why are you
not looking to him for whatever you need?" Philip waved an accusing hand
at Simon, who smiled at the suggestion.
"Finally!" Merlin silently exulted. Ignoring
Philip's words but encouraged by his passion, Merlin slowly rose from his
chair. He placed both hands over his mouth and peered through his straining
eyes with loving affection at Philip. With his hands still on his mouth, he drifted
over to the window. He fixed his gaze skyward in several moments of obvious
prayer, then raised his hands over his head.
"Now! Now is the time, my Lord!" The tone of his
voice, and its sudden rendering of the silence, gave Philip a start. With still
rising voice, Merlin continued his eager supplication. "Oh Lord, I have
held these mysteries of yours for so long, so long. But now is the time!
Thousands before me have died to keep these secrets, so that this moment could
be. Now I am entrusted to deliver. Lord, make me worthy. Spirit of Truth, guide
my words."
Merlin tugged at his long beard, made the sign of the cross,
and turned around to look squarely at Philip. The crown sat in front of him on
the table. The red rubies sparkled from the light coming through the window.
The gold cross on top obscured Philip's nose, separating his eyes. Simon was
drawn to Merlin's side, for he too was waiting to hear the mysteries that he
had guarded in ignorance all these years. He would be the first of his Order to
hear the mystery that had been protected for two thousand years.
Merlin anxiously paced the room, still hunched over, but
suddenly energized. "Philip, what you are about to hear has been one of
the best kept secrets in the history of The Church. The first Apostles told
each other, but never wrote it down in a way that the average Christian could
understand, because it had to remain a mystery. No! It had to remain THE
mystery."
"This mystery has three parts: the first part I will
explain to you now, the second part you will discover for yourself very soon,
and the third part you must receive from the Holy Spirit Himself"
"In the Bible, long genealogical lists continually
appear, especially in Genesis, Numbers, 1st Book of Chronicles, Nehemiah, and
Ezra, and, of course, in the New Testament in Matthew 1:17 and Luke 2:23. The
importance attached to blood relationships has been argued back and forth by
experts for years, especially the differences between Matthew and Luke.
"Now, Matthew begins his Gospel with the book of the
genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the son of Abraham. Even though he
calls this the genealogy of Jesus Christ, he ends the chapter with proof that
Joseph's blood was not in Christ in Matthew 1:18. 'Now the generation of Christ
was in THIS WISE. When as His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph before they
came together she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.' So you see, Matthew
called it the genealogy of Jesus and then proved that it was not. However, one
thing is not commonly known. Joseph's grandfather, Mathan, and Mary's great
grandfather, Levi, both had the same wife. Mathan had two sons, Jacob and
Joses. Jacob was the father of Joseph. When Mathan died, his widow married as
her second husband Levi, (descended from David through Nathan) and by him had
Matthat, the father of Heli, (also known as Joachim) the father of Mary, the
Mother of God. So you see, Mary was of the same blood as Joseph because of the
common wife of Levi and Mathan. And so, Matthew was not giving an untrue genealogy
about the origin of Christ.
"However, in Luke 3:23 we see a different genealogy. In
fact, Luke is very careful to let the reader know that the genealogy of Matthew
was not the genealogy of Christ. He himself was not giving the genealogy of
Joseph but that of Mary, since Heli, also called Joachim, was the father of
Mary. So you can see that Luke and Matthew both deliberately confused the
reader, without saying an untruth, since Joseph was considered the father of
Christ, even if not by blood. And, in fact, the blood of his line, if not
himself, was in Christ through Mathan.
"Now comes the question that needs to be asked, for too
often readers of the Bible do not ask the right questions. Why are both
genealogies important?
“WHY WAS THE GENEALOGY OF JOSEPH IMPORTANT, SINCE HE DID NOT
PRODUCE ANY CHILDREN?"
With that question, Merlin stopped, looked first at Philip
and then at Simon. They were in rapt attention. Simon was clutching the cross
of the sword with both hands and Philip was leaning forward with his arms
folded on the table.
"Does all this have something to do with what's
happening now?" Philip asked. "How can it possibly have anything to
do with the billion deaths over the past two years?"
"Bear with me. I have rehearsed telling you this for
fifty years, even before you were born." Merlin walked over to the window
and watched the men working on the pump. An twelve-inch column of water belched
out of the hose and ran down towards the sea, but the lake seemed hardly
dented. It would be a long time yet. Without turning around, Merlin continued.
"For thousands of years before Christ, it was commonly
known that the Savior, the Christ, would come from the first-born sons of
Abraham. And so it was. Sometimes being first born was not a genetic thing, but
rather something earned, as in the case of Adam, who replaced Cain and Abel
with Seth, and so only Seth appears as important to genealogy. This is also
true in the case of David, whose first born turned against him. But in general
what is called first born produced David and then Christ. However, from David
on, another genealogy appears --- that of SOLOMON. Why Solomon?
"Solomon was not a first born, Natham was. In fact,
Solomon was the second son of David's adultery with Bathsheba. Why then did
David make him king instead of Natham? Why is Solomon's genealogy suddenly
important, if it does not produce Christ? The answer comes at the death of both
David and Solomon. When David was dying, he said to Solomon in 3 Kings 2:4,
'There shall not be taken away from thee a man on the throne of
"From that day on, every son of Solomon was King of
Jerusalem, and every first-born son of Natham was to eventually produce Christ,
who produced The Church.
"These two are the two swords mentioned by The Holy
Father. Natham, who was also called a prophet, helped Solomon become king, so
that Solomon and all his successors could protect the blood line of Natham to
Christ and never let it die out. That is why God said, 'So that My Name might
always be there. And so it was. Though not always in the eyes of men,
nevertheless always in the eyes of God, Solomon and his children will always be
KING OF JERUSALEM. Although Solomon, himself, was not a good man at the end of
his life, he continued to protect the people of the Church (though not its faith).
"They still are charged with protecting His Church and
His Blood. At first it was the blood line, now it is the blood of Christ in the
"Joseph, because he was of Solomon's blood, was charged
with protecting the FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, THE HOLY FAMILY. But Joseph had an
older brother named Zodac. Zodac was converted at
"At that moment, the Holy Spirit came upon Zodac. He
dropped his sword, ran through the crowds towards Christ. As he ran, he grabbed
a veil off the head of one of the holy women, and when he reached Christ, he
wrapped it around Christ's waist. Christ spoke to Zodac's mind. 'You shall now
take over where Joseph left off. You shall protect My Church.'
"After Christ's death and burial, Joseph of Armethia,
Mary Magdalene,
"Zodac formed a small army of knights to protect the
relics of Christ and the holy women. After his death, his son became the King
of Jerusalem, and the knights followed his every command. As the Church spread
throughout
"King Arthur and his knights of the round table was one
of these appointed kings, though that was not his real name. They had no
country, no real kingship over people, no land other than the castles they
built themselves. They had only one job, to protect the Church. The real king
of the blood of Solomon and Joseph became known as the 'FISHER KING', because
he was the protector of the fisherman, Peter, and the protector of the Church.
"Percival, Gawain, Lancelot, and Robin Hood: these were
all coded stories of the knights who served the King of Jerusalem, the Fisher
King, the Protector of the Church, the spirit of Joseph, and that is the
sanctity of Joseph. Even their names are
coded so that they remain secrets except to those who know the codes. This is
therefore a true history, but in code! Have you ever heard of a book called
'THE TRUE STORY OF THE HOLY GRAIL?'
Philip thought for a moment. "Yes! I have heard of it
but never read it."
"Well!" said Merlin, "Although it calls
itself a true story, it is obvious in the first chapter that it is not a true
story. Instead of numbered chapters, it says 'BLOOD LINE ONE, TWO, ETC.' It is
in this book that you hear about Merlin, the Mystic. But in truth there never was any person called Merlin. His name and
mine are secret codes used to teach the Order the mysteries without allowing
others to know them. All those who have been called 'Merlin' are just the
keepers of the secrets, and the Fisher King is just a code for the protector of
the Fisherman, the Pope.
"One of these Fisher Kings was Godfroi de Bouillon, who
captured the city of
"There lives to this day a Fisher King, a King of
Jerusalem, a man who is of the blood of Joseph. There exists to this day an
army of knights who are charged with protecting this Fisher King and protecting

Templar" but are now called the Sovereign
Order of Military Nights of St.
Merlin pointed at Simon and his robe with the Eight Pointed
Cross. Philip swung around in his chair and looked up at Simon. "So that
is why you wear that white stole and the Cross?"
"It's a scapular, not a stole; the Scapular of
Joseph." Simon corrected.
Philip turned back to Merlin with a big question, the answer
to which he already knew. "What does that have to do with me?" He
closed his eyes as he waited for the answer, hoping he was wrong.
"Yes! You know. You are the Fisher King. You are the
King of Jerusalem. You are Emperor of the
Philip sat down silently with his eyes shut. He thought
about his father. He realized that his father knew. Otto von Habsburg had
signed his name many times with the title, 'King of Jerusalem'. Philip had
thought he was just being pert because of his grandfather. But Philip's
grandfather knew also. Charles von Habsburg was the earthly King of Austria,
but also claimed the title of Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and King of
"What about these Templars? I thought they were
dismantled and condemned by the Pope back in the Fourteenth Century for being
Masons or something like that?"
"Yes and no! It is a popular misconception. King Philip
had read prophesies about the GREAT MONARCH OF THE FUTURE, who would be of the
blood of Joseph. It was given to him by the false mystic, Ramon Lull. King
Philip knew that he was of that same bloodline, and because of his sinful
pride, decided that it must be he about whom the prophesy spoke. He went to the
Templar Knights and offered to give up his crown and kingdom to become one of
the knights. They turned him down. This made him so angry that he devised false
charges against them, and ordered them all arrested on the night of October 13,
1303.
"You must understand that the Knights were the
strongest army in the world at that time. No king could have defeated them in
battle; however, the knights took an oath to protect the Church, the Pope, and
the bloodline. They could not fight against a man who had the blood of Joseph.
"When Philip came to arrest them, they went without
fighting because they could not fight against him, and they thought that the
Church would come to their aid. So on October 13, 1303, they were all put into
irons. Do you recognize that date? It is the same date as the Miracle of the
Sun in

knighthood were denouncing Christ and spiting on the cross in initiation
ceremonies. This was not true but it was the prime charge against them. Then, a few years later when the Masons
appropriated the title of 'Templars', they adopted that very initiation ritual
as a way of snubbing their nose at the Pope. Although it was never proven that
the real Templars performed any demonic acts, the Masonic order of the Templars
did so, and continued to do so right up to this very day.
Philip was confused: “I thought the Templars were condemned
by the Church?”
“No! In fact the Church

interest was suddenly intensified.
Merlin looked out at the lake that was being drained by the
large pump. "Many! You will see in time, for you are now the head of the
Templar Knights, just as the Fisher King was. You will see the true cross upon
which hung our dear Savior, as well as many other things. You will see how we

confused into one person by the Jews.
"Christ was not the earthly king for whom they waited
for so long and so they did not accept him as the savior. They thought that the
God-Savior and the earthly king was one and the same person. They were wrong.

by God to save the Church.
"When Natham said. 'I
will preserve the offspring of your body and make his sovereignty secure.'
(2 Kings 7:12), Natham was speaking of Philip von Habsburg. In Psalm 90 (91)
God is speaking of you, Philip. You shall read it often."
Philip thought for a moment. "People have told me that
there is a heresy about the bloodline of Christ, related to this very place in
"Yes! Many stupid people take some of our codes for the
truth. We do what the American CIA does, we spread falsehoods and sprinkle
deceptive hints to keep people from knowing the truth. The CIA used this
strategy when they spread the rumors of Flying Saucers to hide the building of
secret aircraft. The strategy works well, so we do the same." That was as
far as Merlin was willing to go with this.
"Why me? I don't want to be a king? I am not a leader.
When I was young, people made fun of me because of my grandfather, but I was
never brave enough to defend him. A king should be holy, and brave. I am
neither."
"Yes, I know. We have been watching you all these
years. We, too, thought that it could not be you. But God is the architect of
history, and He chooses whomsoever He wants. This is not something that can be
earned or bought by deeds. This was ordained by God before the earth was
created, and neither you nor I can change that." Merlin looked up at the
giant.
"And now, Simon, if you will help me, we can prepare
this table for Mass, and then get some sleep. We will need it for
tomorrow," he calmly said as he looked over at Philip, "and tomorrow,
we will learn the second mystery."
CHAPTER SEVEN
The Power of the
Merlin awoke at five
a.m., dressed quickly, and went downstairs to prepare Mass for Philip and
Simon. When he arrived, he found Philip staring through the window at the lake,
deep in thought. One night of pumping furiously, and the lake was almost empty.
"What are you
doing up so early? You will need all the sleep you can get to preserve your
strength. Today is going to be the biggest day of your life."
"How do you
expect me to sleep after what I heard last night? I tossed and turned for a
couple of hours and then just gave up. I've been watching those men out there. They’ve
been pumping that lake all night long. I've also noticed that these hills are
filled with armed people. I suspect they’re not just company for those who came
in the two Choppers."
Merlin prepared the
table for Mass as he spoke. "Yes! I know! They are always here. They
pretend to be farmers or fishermen in the area, but they are always here. They
have been protecting that lake for seven hundred years." Merlin left the
room to fetch Simon.
To Philip, that
sounded odd. Why would anyone have to protect a lake? But he remembered now.
The world he awoke to today was forever different from the one he had become
accustomed to. Yesterday had changed everything. His awareness of his God-given
mission in life was beginning to take shape. Merlin had said such staggering
things to him. And the pope? His doubts about the authenticity of that ceremony
had evaporated. Still his eyes were fixed on the lake. He reasoned, obviously,
that there had to be something IN the lake that was being protected, not the
lake itself. But what could be of such compelling import that generations of
men, in the guise of farmers and townsfolk, would devote their entire lives
protecting it? He had a powerful sense that he was soon to find out!
After Mass, they all
enjoyed a hearty breakfast, which Merlin prepared himself. There were four men
in the front of the building wearing Knight robes, OSV machine guns at the
ready. These four never came inside. Philip was still in casual clothes, this
time tennis shoes and a heavy pull-over sweater. During breakfast, Simon asked
Merlin many questions about the conversation the night before. Merlin answered
them all very patiently. Philip just listened. After eating, Philip silently
left the table to sit in a wooden rocking chair. In a moment, he was fast
asleep.
Simon laughed loudly
with admiration. "So! This is the Great Monarch!" He looked down at
the little man sleeping in the chair. "So this is what I was born to
protect and to follow unto death! God has either strange ways or a good sense
of humor."
The rest of the
morning passed quietly. Simon resumed his post, watching over Philip, while
Merlin sat pensively. At 12:00 noon, Philip was still sleeping when a quiet but
firm knock was heard on the front door. Simon peered out the window, retrieved
his modified M-60, and opened the door. A serious looking Knight stepped
briskly inside, walked over to the rocking chair, and looked down at the
sleeping King. Without averting his gaze, he said to Merlin, simply, "It's
ready."
"You wait here.
I'll check," Merlin ordered Simon. As Philip slept on, Simon brewed him
some coffee.
Within fifteen
minutes, Merlin was back. "It's ready."
"Have the hills
been checked?"
"Yes! And as soon
as we are seen leaving the rectory, the escort choppers will lift off and do a quick
reconnaissance of the surroundings. We will need tight security for the rest of
the day, no matter the cost." Merlin looked at Philip and shook his head.
"I will never understand the mind of God." He shook Philip. "Get
up, my King, the world awaits."
Simon brought him the
coffee as Philip rubbed his eyes. "Well, it couldn’t have been a bad dream
if you two are still here!" Philip was only teasing. He knew that today
was to be the most important day of his life, even greater than yesterday. He
gratefully drank the coffee without rising from the rocking chair. "I had
a strange dream. There was an angel standing on the Earth and making an oath to
God. It was very odd."
"When you are
ready, we must go." Clearly, Merlin was getting nervous again. He had resumed
his pacing back and forth, going nowhere in a very great hurry!
At last, Philip
announced, "All right! I'm ready." His hair was disheveled, he hadn't
shaven, and his clothes looked like he had slept in them, which of course he
had. But he was ready. Merlin shook his head in disbelief at the spectacle
before him and led the intrepid trio out the door. Outside were eight Knights
wearing robes and clutching modified AK-47s.
When Philip stepped
out, all the knights bowed. This caught Philip by surprise, and he almost
stumbled back into the rectory. Running his hand along his chin, he felt his
whiskers, and then ran the same hand through his hair. The bowing Knights had
strengthened his growing awareness that he was somehow, unbelievably, special.
He grabbed Merlin by the sleeve of his habit. "I think I should go back in
and clean up a bit." Merlin eagerly agreed.
In short order, Philip
reappeared decked out in a new set of clothes and looking much better. He even
wore a suede coat with a fur collar. The Knights bowed again, but this time,
Philip was expecting it. He followed Merlin to the back of the rectory and then
they walked towards the lake. Simon and the other Knights followed behind
closely. No one spoke a word.
When they arrived at
the lake shore, Philip could see that they had built a sort of bridge across
the drained lake. It extended to the center of the lake where there sat a pile
of large rocks that had been submerged for so many centuries. Two men stood on
each side of the bridge at the center of the lake.
"Follow me."
Merlin walked quickly out to the center of the lake with Philip close behind.
Simon followed the new king, but the other men spread out around the lake.
In the center of the
lake, amidst the pile of rocks, there was an opening with a set of solid rock
stairs descending about fifteen feet. Merlin made his way over the rocks and
slowly stepped down the stairs. Philip and Simon followed. Naturally,
everything was wet. At the bottom of the steps was a flat passage about a
hundred feet long. At its end was another staircase. Philip followed Merlin
down the passage and up the other stairs. At the top of these stairs there was
a short landing and then more stairs going down again. Somebody had gone to
considerable trouble to hide whatever Philip was about to find! At the bottom
of these stairs, everything was dry. Candles had already been placed along the
way. Again, there was a long passageway, this one on a slight incline. Philip
figured that they were now under the mountain and out of the lake.
Awaiting them at the
end of this passage was a large copper door with beautiful inlays of sculpted
grapes, angels, pomegranate trees, and Templar Knights. In its center was
carved a crown like the one on the Table at the rectory. Merlin reached into
his brown robe and pulled out a large key. When Merlin was young he had dived
many times into the lake and visited the room he was about to go into. But it was now 50 years since he had been
there and despite his best efforts his enfeebled hands couldn't turn the key. A
quick glance from the priest and Simon quickly reached forward, worked the
lock, and pushed the door open.
Inside was a flat
space about ten feet square with another door on the other side. "Be very
careful in here. Brusque movement will cause the ceiling to collapse, and there
are five hundred feet of rock above us."
Merlin handed another
key to Simon. He turned it very slowly. With this door now unlocked but
unopened, he returned and closed the other door, then carefully locked and tested
it. He rejoined Merlin and Philip and pulled open the other door very slowly,
all the while looking very carefully at the ceiling. Once open, he stepped
aside to let Merlin and Philip pass.
Merlin lit three
candles and passed them around. They walked up a short flight of stairs and
down to another door. This door didn't look like it was made of copper. It
looked like gold. Philip reached out and touched the door. It was eight feet
tall and six feet wide, beautifully carved with the same images as the first
door. "Yes! It's gold." Merlin offered. "It’s solid gold and
three inches thick. Even Simon would not be able to push it open if it was not
so well balanced on those hinges."
Merlin made the sign
of the cross, said a short prayer, and took out a gold triangle from his
pocket. He placed the triangle into a slot on the door. It fell through and
came back out a slot at the bottom. "OK! Simon, it's time to see how
strong you really are."
Simon leaned against
the door and pushed it open a couple of feet. He stepped part way through the
narrow opening, put his back to the door frame and then pushed it wide open.
Merlin picked up the candle and walked in. He proceeded down four steps as the
candlelight filled the room. Philip stepped into the room closely behind.
Philip stood in awe.
The light from the one candle filled the room with dazzling light. It was the
size of a basketball arena. The floor was at least one hundred feet long and
seventy feet wide. The ceiling was round and vaulted, about seventy feet high at
the center with eight pillars down two sides. There were barred, eight inch
holes on the right and left sides of the room for ventilation.
What lit the room up
from Merlin's single candle was the gold, piles and piles of gold everywhere.
The entire floor was filled with gold coins, gold vessels, gold candlesticks,
gold bowls, gold lamps, gold censers, palm trees of gold, basins, pillars,
cherubim angels, altars, all of gold and inlaid with costly stones. In some
places, the gold was piled twenty feet high. On both sides of the large room
were two cherubim angels fifteen feet tall with wings fifteen feet long from
tip to tip. Chains and cords of solid gold hung from the walls.
At the end of the
room, about 100 feet from Philip, sat a large altar of solid gold, itself
inlaid with beautiful stones. On top of the altar was a leather bound box about
two feet long and two feet tall with no markings. Jewish candle holders rested
on both sides but they held no candles. Instead, on either side of the leather
box, there was a single candle holder with a candle that Merlin lit.
Philip stepped down
the four steps as Simon went around the room lighting candles in the walls.
Merlin stood looking at Philip for his reaction to the unimaginable wealth in
the room. Philip kept turning around and around. He had never been impressed
with wealth, but this was overwhelming. He had never imagined that so much gold
and so many jewels could be in one place. It seemed as if all the gold in the
world was in this one room.
One thing was out of
place, a plain leather box on the large gold table. The mere fact that it stood out caused Philip
to come back to it over and over after looking over the entire room. The two 15 foot angels seemed to be looking
at the plain leather box. Pointing:
“What is that?”
Merlin went up the
box. He pulled the top off and then
moved the two doors on the sides open which in turn opened the sides and laid
them down behind. In the box was a
chalice. It was a brown glass cup about
6 inches tall held in place by webbing of gold grapes and vines on the bottom
third of the cup. It had a gold base,
stand and handles also decorated in grapes and vines. The glass cup was half
full of something black and solid. “This is the Holy Grail, the cup of the Last
Supper.”
“The Holy Grail! Then there is a real Holy Grail?”
“Yes! This is the most famous relic in the history
of the world and as you study it let me tell you its history because this will
become part of your life from now on.
"The Grail, before Moses set it in gold, was just
the brown diamond cup that you see. It was first given to Enoch by Adam in a
short wine and bread ceremony. Adam used it in the Garden of Eden to eat and
drink from the Tree of Life.”
Merlin was talking
quietly and slowly so that Philip could follow and contemplate what he was
saying.
“When they left the Garden of Eden, they took the cup
with them. It passed down to Enoch.
Enoch left it with Methuselah before he ascended to
Philip did not take
his eyes off the Chalice. Merlin was not sure if he was even listening. He
decided to go on anyway.
"When the safety of the
"But the Grail was not in the
"Christ knew the Holy Grail was in the wall of
the upper room. He removed it and used it to change wine into His Precious
Blood. Later, Joseph of Arimethia used it to remove the Blood that fell down
from the cross into the rock crevices. What you see in the Chalice is the real
Blood of Christ. That is why it is called grail. Grail means blood, holy
blood." Merlin stopped and
stepped backwards quietly.
Now it was up to
Philip. Everything depended on this moment. All these elaborate preparations
depended on this man. All Merlin could do now was wait. He looked over at
Simon. Simon did not move, and though his eyes were wet from the tears he had
shed, he could not take them off of the Grail.
Philip finally turned
away from the Grail, looked over at Merlin, and with tears streaming down his
face he asked, "How can I serve the Blood of Christ?"
The weight of
centuries seemed to flee Merlin in an instant. As the words left Philip’s
mouth, Merlin dropped down next to the kneeling Philip and hugged him from the
side with both arms. He placed his head on Philip's shoulder with a mixture of
joy and relief.
After a time, Merlin
rose and held out a hand to Philip. Philip also rose, but he did not take his
eyes off the Chalice. Merlin turned towards the Holy Grail, removed the flat
cap, pulled down a veil, placed it over his hands, and picked up the Holy Grail
by the two large handles. He turned around and faced Philip and lifted the
Chalice up above his head.
"This is the
Blood of Christ, the Blood of the New and Eternal Covenant. Through Him, with
Him, in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours,
almighty Father, for ever and ever, Amen."
Merlin lowered the
Chalice, looked at Philip, "Take and drink, this is my blood." He
handed the Holy Grail to Philip. Philip reached out hesitantly, put his hands
under the veil, so as not to actually touch the Grail, and grabbed both handles
with great care, so as not to drop it. He looked down into the cup, a cup that
had been in the hands of Adam and Christ. The blood that lay inside was
coagulated. It was hard and black. But as Philip looked down into the cup, the
blood softened and liquefied, turning red. Philip cringed at the thought of
drinking blood, but he was determined to do it because it was Christ’s blood
and Christ commanded it (John 6). Slowly
Philip raised it to his lips, tipped the Grail and drank a small amount of
Christ’s Blood.
To his surprise the blood tasted like fine wine. He
lowered the Chalice and stared into the cup. The liquid solidified again and
became hard. As he handed the Grail to Merlin, a great change had come over
him. His tears were gone. His face had changed too. He no longer showed the
doubt or fear that he had before. He face was now chiseled with daring
determination.
"My Lord, it is
time." Merlin shouted. "Simon, carry the Chalice. It is time to
go." Merlin placed the Chalice back into the leather box, restoring the
lid.
Simon slung his weapon
over his shoulder and picked up the box. Merlin led the way, Simon following
and Philip walking behind. They closed the doors carefully as they left this
holy sanctuary.
CHAPTER EIGHT
The Angel of Apocalypse
Merlin stepped outside
the cave and pivoted to the left of a mound of rocks to make room for Simon.
Instantly, Simon emerged and stood on top of the pile of rocks in the center of
the lake, holding the leather Box.
The men at the foot of
the bridge saw him first and knelt down on one knee. Simon stood tall with his
legs spread apart and raised the Box over his head as Philip ascended the
stairs. All around the lake on the hills, around the rectory, on the top of the
octagon castle, were armed men, and all dropped to one knee at the sight of the
Box. They all knew what was inside and they all knew what had just happened.
Philip wasted no time in
walking around Simon and crossing the bridge. Simon and Merlin followed. The
soldiers swarmed from their perches towards the rectory. They no longer felt a
need to guard the hills. They came to meet both their King and their Lord in
the Blood of the Holy Grail. But Philip did not stop. With a determined gaze,
he walked past them all and strode to the front door of the rectory. He held
the door for Simon, who carried the Grail inside and then placed it next to the
crown of St. Steven. Beside the table was a middle-aged Knight with his white
scapular and a cross. In his hands was another scapular.
"This sign of the
Army of God belonged to the first Templar, Godfroi de Bouillon. No one has worn
it since he. Now, it is yours. You are now King of Jerusalem and our
King."
Philip held the white
and red cloth in his hands for a moment, kissed it, and then placed it over his
head, letting it fall simultaneously across his chest and back. This was a
genuine Templar robe, with a belled red cross superimposed over a white
background on both front and back, running the length of the garment. He turned
towards the Holy Grail and knelt down on both knees to pray. When he rose, he
turned again, this time towards the sword leaning against the wall.
Philip grabbed the sword
of Joseph of Arimathea with both hands and left the building. Outside he saw
Merlin, still limping towards the rectory as fast as he could. Philip bowed
towards him with all the respect of a son to a father. Then he lifted the sword
over his shoulder and walked quickly towards the sea.
Philip walked down towards
the
Suddenly, an anguished
cry erupted from Philip’s soul.
"How long, O Lord (Holy and true),
will You refrain from judging? How long will you refrain from avenging our blood
on those who dwell on the earth?"
(Apocalypse 6: 10)
As his voice savagely
pierced the soft silence that belied the chaos of the world, Philip desperately
thrust both hands towards heaven.
"My voice, Lord,
echoes the prayer of the Saints in heaven. My voice, Lord, has incessantly
dispatched this prayer to your Kingdom for lo these last three years. Through
You, it is the prayer bequeathed to us by
"How long, O my
Lord, must innocent children die from hunger or be pierced by the sword? How
long, O Lord, will you allow infidels to crush our poor Christian brothers? My
God, grant that I may be thy servant; permit these to be the hands that arrest
the march of Satan. Our Holy Father has said there are two swords, and he
ordained that I be that smaller sword, so that with your help, I could come to
the aid of the Church. This besotted world, drunk on the blood of innocence,
discordantly sings the requiem for Your Roman Catholic Church. But I, and these
loyal servants awaiting your command, know that it lives still. When the word
goes forth that the pope lives, your reinvigorated followers will emerge from
their hideouts by the millions and place their lives in your service.
"Teach me how to
serve you, Lord, and I will not shrink from your will. But I pray you, tarry
not, and teach me now. Lord, let me be the instrument that fulfills the prayer
you offered so long ago: may Thy kingdom come, on earth as it is in
Heaven."
His eyes fixed on the
heavens, Philip perceived a subtle reshaping of the clouds. They seemed to be
forming into an image of the Virgin Mary, her hand raised as if blessing him.
At that exact moment, a great pain shot through his body from the back of his
right knee, as if someone had suddenly placed an iron grip around it.
After his long prayer,
Philip began to rise, but he quickly faltered, almost falling to the sand. His
right leg seemed to have lost its strength. He tried again, and with
considerable effort, made it to his feet. Immediately, he placed his right foot
into the sea, leaving his left on the dry ground. Defiantly, his voice
thundering, he raised his right fist up to the heavens and cried out:
"I swear by Him who lives for ever and ever,
THERE SHALL BE DELAY NO LONGER to avenge the blood of the saints. By the power
of God, and the prayers of His Mother, The Heavenly
Supernaturally
energized, and filled with the exhilaration of a desperate battle at last
joined, every Knight, upon hearing Philip’s fearsome oath, shouted in unison,
"Hail, King of Jerusalem! Hail, King of
Merlin watched and
listened from the top of the hill. Quietly, he said to Simon, "HE IS THE
SEVENTH ANGEL OF APOCALYPSE, and the little open scroll is the mystery of his
mission in Christ."
"What angel,"
asked Simon?
In response, Merlin
simply recited scripture. "And the angel, whom I saw standing upon the sea
and upon the earth, lifted up his hand to heaven, and he swore by Him that
liveth for ever and ever… that time shall be no longer. But in the days of the
voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound the trumpet, the
mystery of God shall be finished, as He hath declared by His servants, the
prophets. ----- Apocalypse 10:5-7"
Every man present had
heard Philip’s cry, and every man knew he had accepted the challenge to go to
war. Philip stepped out of the sea, pulled the sword out of the sand, and with
a look of challenge and triumph, surveyed his army. With surprising strength,
he lifted his sword over his head with one hand and shouted up at his Knights,
"There shall be no more delay." In a joyful, rising crescendo, the
Knights repeated the words over and over.
Still supernaturally
afflicted, Philip limped up the cliffs with determination, disregarding the
pain. His Knights followed in a joyful procession, not like an army reluctantly
heading to the front, but more like a citizen's march celebrating a great day;
not with precision like an army, but with determination and joy.
Merlin waited at the
door as Philip approached.
"Now you know the
last secret, for God has revealed it to you. Not from me, for it was not to be
so, but from the Holy Spirit of God you have learned it. It is like a baptism
or an ordination. It is a transformation from Philip, the man, to Philip, the
instrument of God."
They went inside, and
Philip stood before the Holy Grail, still covered by the leather box. Even
while he was still praying, Merlin found a need to speak. "My King, there
is one thing more you must know."
Philip turned around,
sword in hand, and encouragingly, softly said, "Go on!"
Merlin sat down and
looked up at Philip, "The Holy Scriptures tell of a 'SMALL OPEN BOOK' that
"Are you speaking
of the book in Apocalypse that John was told to eat?"
"Yes! That is the
second great mystery of the Bible."
"The second?"
"Yes! The first
mystery was the Messianic Secret. Christ commanded silence for a time regarding
the fact that He was God. Even the Prophets of the Old Testament did not reveal
the secret."
"And the small book
that John ate is the second Mystery?"
"Yes!" Merlin
sat down at the table and placed the palm of his hand against the leather box.
Philip started to sit in
the rocking chair, but remembered that he was in the same room with the
Redeeming Blood of Christ and remained standing.
"The book is a book
of history. It is open since God knows all of history and has revealed it to
his prophets already. It is small since it is only a small portion of history.
You have been chosen by God - just as He chose Moses, David, and Solomon - to
be the leader of this small portion of history. You have been asked, and you
accepted when you said of the Holy Grail, 'How shall I serve?' You shall be the
instrument by which God unfolds His plan of Victory, the final Victory of the
Church."
"The book, Father,
was sweet as honey in his mouth and bitter in his stomach. Why was it
bitter?"
"I will tell you
why at the proper time. But first it is for you to bring God's people together
and to stop the war. That is the part you must play in this book of history,
the sweet part. The bitter part is not your problem."
"How shall I, one
man, stop a world war?"
"You are not one
man. You have an army of Twelve Knights. You have the Holy Grail. You have the
power from the blood of Christ. You have the blood of
"This army you
speak of; it's only twelve men at the most."
"No! That is not
so. It's not very big, but you only see a few men who have been charged with
guarding the Holy Grail, and a few others who have been guarding you since your
birth. Throughout the world the Holy Father will send millions to your side
from
"All right, how shall
we start?" He looked at Simon. "What about you? If you are to be my
constant companion, I should know something about you." Philip reached out
to shake his hand for the first time. Simon's hand was so big, it completely
covered Philip's, and Simon smiled about that.
"They call me Simon
because of Simon of Cyrene, who helped Christ carry the cross. Some say that we
black people get our strength from a blessing that God gave to us because of
Simon. I don't know about that, but I will help you carry every cross God sends
you."
"You look like you
could carry anything. I'm glad you were picked. However, do not treat me like a
king. I am your friend. I don't like this idea of people bowing down wherever I
go. That has got to stop. If you are standing when I enter a room, remain
standing, and if you are sitting, remain sitting. Understand?"
"As you wish, your
Majesty."
"And none of that
Majesty crap either, just Philip or Phil."
"Philip."
Simon slightly bowed in fun.
"Code names,
Merlin, Simon, what next? Let's meet our Army."
"I think you would
like to meet the real Knights first," said Simon. "They were
specially trained. In fact, one of them was the one who trained me. I will
fetch them for you. You should remain with the Grail, for it will protect you
more than I can." Simon left the room, ducking through the door. He
returned shortly with eleven men close behind. "I have instructed them not
to kneel, bow, or call you anything except ‘Philip’."
The men lined up against
the wall, and Philip went down the line shaking each man’s hand. "My name

more were from
"My name is Philip,
only Philip. I understand we have a job to do. I know nothing about war, so I
will have to depend on you for help and guidance. I assume you twelve have been
the leaders, and so that is how it shall remain. However, when I first arrived
in
"I am here."
Pierre de Saint Clair had been standing in the doorway. At the mention of his
name, he stepped into the room.
"I have been the
teacher of these men. I also have been the keeper of the Knight’s Secrets, just
as Merlin has been the keeper of the Secrets of the Church. But that work is
finished. I must stand down, for you are now the head. What you command, they
and I will do unto death. That is how they were trained. Victory or death is
their only way of life. They will not back down from anyone, no matter the
odds. That is their way. That is why we picked them. I am very proud of these
twelve men. There are no better on the face of the Earth."
After his brief
appearance, Pierre de Saint Clair went back to the beach. A black chopper
swooped down and retrieved him, then raced across the sea. Philip watched until
it was out of sight. By then, the sky was reddened by the setting sun. The
color reminded him of the blood that had been shed the past two years. It
reminded him of how modernism had slowly advanced until it had captured the
souls of the children, and how a world bereft of spirituality and the love of
God had descended, slowly at first, then uncontrollably into anarchy. His
grandfather and his father had warned the European Nations that without
Christian unity, this would be their fate. It had now come to pass. The red
clouds over the sea were a symbol of the shed blood that had flooded Eastern
and
CHAPTER NINE
March to
In the morning, Father Merlin was up before the sun as he
prepared the table for the
. He prepared the table for the Mass, placing the Holy Grail
to one side, but without removing it from the box. He woke Simon, who in turn
woke all who had been able to sleep. He entered Philip’s room last. Simon and
three other Knights carried the table outside, with the Grail still on top.
Merlin said Mass as the sun rose gloriously over the mountains. Before it was
over, every Knight had received the Body and Blood of Our Lord and they were in
prayer when Philip spoke:
“Why don’t we walk to
When the prayers were finished, the Holy Grail was placed on
an old two wheel cart and pulled by two asses. Philip, Simon, Merlin, and
Jonathan went ahead of the cart. The rest of the Knights followed behind. The
three choppers went out ahead to scan the roads ahead of them. They marched all
day, and, as they marched, crowds gathered to marvel at the spectacle, mostly
in silence, but some jeered.
“Who are these nuts?” or “What is this, the thirteenth
century? Are we going back to the middle ages?” Philip and his small army paid
no attention, but kept on marching. No one bothered them physically, since the
Knights were well armed. But most must have thought they were a bunch of crazy
people.
They passed through
“The popes lived seventy years in this place. The hundred
year war between
Jonathan continued looking up at the cathedral as he spoke. “Saint Joan of Arc
would have had our help, and
They walked through the castle walls towards the cathedral
and up the stairs to the large doors. The doors were closed but not locked.
Simon pushed them open, and Philip walked in with all the Knights and Frenchmen
following behind him. Philip worried about violence and he wanted to pray that
he could bring peace to
Philip stopped just inside the doors. All around the church
could be heard laughter and screams. When his eyes focused themselves to the
change in the light, he could see that all over the beautiful church were men
and women having a wild party. Against one of the pillars were two men kissing.
In the pews were many couples engaging in all kinds of sexual acts. Philip
could see the pulpit and a man chained to it with no clothes on. Another man
with a whip was commanding him to preach. On the altar were two young women
dancing without clothes on. The Tabernacle was open, and they were dancing
obscenely before it.
An anger welled up in Philip that he did not know he
had. He turned to Jonathan and Simon.
“Give me your weapon, Jonathan. The time for talk is over.”
Jonathan handed him a strange gun. “Do you know how to use
it?”
“No!” He replied as he fumbled with it. It was strange with
two large springs on both sides of two barrels and no hammer.
“Pull back this safety latch. Hold here tight with your left
hand and pull the trigger with your right. Be careful where you point it. It
will blow a hole in a brick wall.” Jonathan stepped way back.
Philip pulled off a short burst of shells, and he almost
lost control as he went from the floor to the dome and almost over his head.
This was not because of the gun, as it had no kick but just from the sudden
noise and power coming from his hands.
He gained his composure and pointed the weapon level again as the
laughter stopped and everyone turned to face the crowd of men at the door in
white and red.
Philip started walking down the main aisle. He looked at the
two necked men at the pillar. At first they looked at him with fear, but then
started to giggle. They should not have giggled. Philip, angry, turned his gun
towards them without thinking and opened fire. He blew the men off the pillar
and clean across the floor, as blood splashed ten feet up the white walls. What ever was in this gun was very
powerful.
Philip lost control and he turned to the pews and started
mowing down naked men and women everywhere. The shells were powerful and
because of flat tipped bullets the bodies were thrown over three and four pews.
He kept walking towards the altar with his finger hard on the trigger. When he
ran out of shells, Gaddis threw him another machine gun, and he kept on
shooting.
Eleazar and Josue stood at the side doors and let no one
out. When Philip reached the foot of the altar, there were only four left
alive. The two naked girls on the altar, hugging each other in fear, the man
with a whip, and the man chained to the pulpit. Philip stared at the two girls
with fearful hatred in his eyes.
He remembered how during the French Revolution the “Goddess
of Reason”, a prostitute, was declared the official icon of the government, and
she danced naked on the main altar of Notre Dame. These two girls were mocking
the open tabernacle of Our Lord.
Philip could see into the tabernacle and saw that the
Chalice of Hosts was there exposed to this mocking. Quickly, without thinking, he raised his
weapon and blew the two girls off the altar. He continued shooting at them
until they were blown completely across the slick floor to the back wall. He
shot so many holes in them that you could not recognize whether they were
women, men or animals. He was out of bullets again, and Jonathan handed him
another weapon. Philip, trembling with
anger, looked at the chained man. “Who are you?”
“The Cardinal, I am the Cardinal,
“And you?” He turned his weapon into the face of the man
holding the whip. “I think we need a sermon.” Still trembling, Philip placed
the tip of the weapon against the man’s lower lip. He waited for the sermon as
he looked at the Demonic Symbols on his robe. The man made the mistake of
giving a slight nervous smile. Philip
pulled the trigger or maybe his shaking hand pulled the trigger. Anyway he blew the man’s head completely off.
Philip handed the gun to Jonathan. Simon unchained the
Cardinal. Philip walked up to the altar and bowed before the tabernacle. He
looked inside and saw that the Lord was still inside. He looked around for
Father Merlin. Merlin hurried up the steps, closed the tabernacle and lit the
candle.
Turning away from the tabernacle, Philip looked around the
church. Blood and bodies were verywhere. The new army took up the entire center
aisle, which was hundreds of feet long and twenty feet wide. Frenchmen lined
the back of the church and took on a great fear of this new King.
Philip thought to himself that he had just committed a great
sin and needed confession but at the same time he though, “This irreverence has
been building up to this for a long time and has to stop somewhere, the
inevitable result of a lack of respect for priests, the Mass, and all
authority. No Fear of God! We’ll see!”
He shouted at the Knights in the aisle, “No Longer! No
longer shall My Lord and My God and My Church be mocked.” Raising both hands
above his head he continued, “Are you with me?”
“Where you go, we go to the ends of the earth,” Shouted
Jonathan. And all the Knights raised their hands and shouted: “To the ends of
the earth.”
“Father Merlin, would you help the Cardinal dress and ask
him to offer a mass of thanksgiving for us?” Philip knew that Father Merlin was
not happy about his actions and was somewhat frightened so he gently put his
hand on Merlin’s shoulder to show that he was calm now and the anger gone.
“Yes! I will take care of the good Cardinal. Then I will hear your confession. You cannot go against God’s commandments even
as King.”
Maybe Philip sinned and maybe not. Only God knows, but from that moment on no
one disrespected the Body and Blood of Christ or any priest. What Philip did in
this church spread throughout the world and in spite of his gentleness a
respectful fear of him continued to the end of his days.
After his confession and the Mass, Philip sat in the first
pew with the Cardinal. “Your Eminence. I am Emperor Philip von Habsburg. I have
a letter here from His Holiness …”
“You! You are the King? You are the one! My God! I didn’t
really believe it.” The Cardinal put his face in his hands and said a prayer and
then said: “I received a letter from the new Pope. He told us of you and sent
us a copy of the Papal Bull declaring you Emperor. I was in Mintz when he left
“When he said he would return to
Philip put his arm around the Cardinal: “Never mind, Your
Eminence, I have very little time. How can I best speak to the people of this
town?”
“The Television station was bombed, but one of the radio
stations is still working. It has been taken over by street gangs. The good
people hid in their homes but they listen to find out what is going on.”
“Jonathan, the good Cardinal will show you how to find a
radio station. Take it over and start broadcasting that there will be an
important address soon. Make a lot of commotion as you go there, so that the
whole town will be listening. I will follow soon with the Holy Grail. Simon
will stay with me.”
Inside the radio station everything was quiet, except the
soft voice of Jonathan over the mike, speaking to the people of
“I’ll take over from here.” Philip said as he entered the
radio station. He took the mike in his hand and looked over at Simon and the
Box.
“My fellow citizens of
“I carry with me the Holy Grail of Our Lord, the Chalice
that Christ used at the last Supper. It is half full of the Real Blood of Our
Lord. It is the power that was in the Ark of the Covenant. Its power is with us
now. Meet me at the steps of the Palais des Papes and see it and receive its
blessing.”
As Philip marched back to the Palis des Papaes with his
army, the crowds began to gather and to follow him. They grew so large that it
became harder and harder to navigate through them. At the steps of the Palais,
two Knights set up the Box on a table. The Cardinal moved a mike out to the
edge of the steps. Philip looked down at the crowd. It had grown to a half
million men, women, and children. The Cardinal stepped before the mike.
Everyone became silent.
“My Children! I received a letter from the Holy Father. It
is true what Philip said. He is King of France and the
“May I present to you, Philip von Habsburg, the King of
France.”
The crowd was totally silent. There was no applause, no
laughter, no murmuring, nothing. Philip stepped up to the mike.
“Citizens of
Merlin opened the box and pulled out the Chalice and held it
over his head so that everyone could see. The sun glistened against the golden
handles. The brown colored glass sparkled and the sun shot through it spewing
rays of light across the crowd. The crowd was awe struck and made sounds almost
like pain but more like fear, and then a deafening silence. Merlin placed it
back on the table for people to come forward and look closer.
After time for reflection, Philip addressed the people
again, “If you are with us, follow me.” Philip leaped down the steps to the
cart. Simon carried the Box down the steps and laid it gently on the cart.
Philip raised his fist, “Pick up your cross, your gun, your sword, beat your
plowshares into swords, and follow the Lord. Follow the Grail.”
Philip and Merlin went first. The cart and Simon followed,
then the Knights and all behind them began to walk with thousands and thousands
of men with guns, shovels, and clubs right behind them. Even women and children
followed with food and drink for the trip. The line of people went down the
streets for tens of miles. On they went until they marched under the triumphant
arch of the city of
They marched on towards

return to power, thousands more joined his march to
Perched high atop a hill overlooking a lush valley was the
famous Twelfth Century Basilica de la Madeleine, considered the finest
Romanesque structure in all of
Inside, Merlin said Mass for the small group. Outside the
Cardinal held Mass on the top of the terrace. The twenty monks of the Basilica
helped him with the communion. As the sun set the crowd made small fires and
set up camp for the night. Three black choppers moved around the sky checking
for trouble in all directions.
Philip and Merlin walked around the Promenade des Ramparts
as the sun set over the beautiful meadows below. As they walked, Merlin
explained to Philip that the tomb of St. Madeleine was hidden below the altar
of the Basilica. Philip would see it later. They climbed the long and ancient
stairway to the top of the tower of the Basilica and looked out over the Morvan
countryside.
Philip looked down at the millions of Frenchmen who had
followed him this far, “Look at all those people who have placed their trust in
me. I don’t even know what I’m going to do next. I don’t even know why I’m going
to
“Philip! Don’t forget who you are and who you are
representing! They are not following you. They are following a dream, a dream
that all this war will be over. But they know it won’t end by itself. They know
that they have to stop it with action. They also know that God sent you and
that this is their last hope.” Merlin looked down at the fires dotting the
grassy terrace. “I realize that you probably know this, but this terrace was
the starting point of two Crusades.”
Philip looked down at the crowd. “It must have been a lot
like this.” He answered. “A few well armed knights with their white robes and
red crosses, and a crowd of untrained Catholics, out to do the will of the Holy
Father. The reasons are almost the same. If they had not gone out to fight, the
Moslems would have eventually run over all of
“Father, the last battle of the crusades was a sea battle
led by Don Juan.”
“Yes! He was one of your relatives.”
“I know! My father talked about him many times, but he
always insisted that Mary won that battle. Don Juan had a picture of Our Lady
of Guadalupe hung in his cabin on his ship. He had all the soldiers of all the
ships pray the Rosary, then and only then did he put on his sword. He was
outnumbered ten to one, but he was victorious. And according to my father the
‘people power’ of the Philippines, who took back their country from Marcos, was
really ‘Rosary Power’, since Cardinal Sin had a Rosary crusade going on for
three years prior to the victory.”
Philip looked down at the crowd. They were not trying to
sleep. They were talking and singing. “Idle talk, idle time. Father, help me. I
need a mike and speakers.” They went down the stairs and solicited the help of
the Cardinal. The monks brought out the mike and set it up on the top of the
terrace.
Merlin spoke to the army first. “Crusaders of Christ, kneel
down for my blessing.” After the crowd moved to their knees, the father blessed
them all, using holy water. “We have a job to do for Our Lord, and we need
help. And so, we will solicit the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I hereby
consecrate this Army of Our Lord to the Immaculate Heart of His Mother. I ask
that she place her maternal mantle of protection around us and illuminate our
ways. I ask that her merciful eyes light our ways. I ask that the victory she
promised at
“Your King has asked that we pray the Rosary at the end of
every day and at the beginning of any battle we have. He has asked that as we
walk, we pray the Rosary. If and as we fight we pray the Rosary. If we do this,
she will not leave us unaided against the Red Dragon. Philip has asked to lead
us in prayer.”
Philip knelt down facing the army. “Let us pray. In the Name
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit…..”
The next morning as the sun broke over the mountains, the
people’s army was already on its way to

When Philip’s army reached the outskirts of
“Where are you going?
Don’t come any closer. Go back.”
“Calm down, my friend. What’s the problem?”
“Stranger, have you not heard?
Philip looked around at his twelve captains. “Camp here.”
Then he summoned Father Merlin. “Let’s see this city.”
Merlin, Simon and Philip climbed the last hill before the
bridge. The stranger followed. On top Philip saw
“What happened?” Philip addressed the man but didn’t take
his eyes off the remnants of the city.
“I don’t know.” Electric power had been out for weeks. No
one had fuel to run their cars. Mobs ran the streets killing and looting. One
day, bishops, priests, and nuns went around warning all good people to leave
“I expected this.” Merlin interrupted without looking around
at anyone.
“What do you mean? You expected this? If you knew about
this, why did we come here?” Philip was confused.
“No! I didn’t know. I expected. I knew
Merlin turned around to see Philip’s reaction. But Philip
had heard so many strange things in the past few days that he was no longer
surprised at anything that Merlin said.

He left in haste. Philip addressed Merlin again. “I need to
talk to all the French people at once. Where can we find a radio or television
station that has not been destroyed?”
“I don’t know, but we can find a radio or television and
listen in. We’ll find out if anyone is broadcasting from anywhere.”
The station they found and took over was just east of
Philip looked at the camera for a while not knowing how to
start. He decided he had better open him mouth or all would be lost.
CHAPTER ELEVEN
International Broadcast
Finally Philip opened his mouth, and the words were suddenly
there.
“Citizens of
“For the past three years, this country and most other
countries of the world have been torn apart by civil wars. Your government no
longer exists. The army and police forces are in disarray and can no longer
function. Law has become the law of the mob. Many cities are governed by gangs
of children who roam the streets killing and looting.
“For this reason, I was called to
“He commanded me to restore order to
“He also gave me power from God. He gave me this.”
Philip put his hands in a cloth, picked up the Holy Grail
and held it before the television Camera. The gold and precious jewels
glistened in the lights. As he held it, the coagulated blood liquefied before
the camera and changed from black to bright red.
“This is the Blood of Christ, our salvation. This chalice is
the same Chalice Christ used at the Last Supper. This Chalice was in the Ark of
the Covenant that Moses built. This Chalice was used by Melchisedec to ordain
our father Abraham. This is the Holy Grail.”
He set it down reverently and bowed before it. He paused to
let his words sink into the minds and hearts of those listening and then went
on:
“When I drank from this Holy Grail, I received the wisdom as
to how God wants me to restore order and how I should govern, in fact, how the
world should have been governed from the beginning.”
Philip paused and looked into the camera with authority. Not
the authority from man but the authority from God.
What he didn’t know was that the satellite was not only
beaming his message all across France, but it was sending it to Russia,
Germany, Poland, Hungary, Yugoslavia, North and South America, Africa, and
Asia. Audio tapes were being made by monitors and would be re-shown to
government leaders, cardinals, bishops, union leaders, underground rebels, and,
within a week, everyone on the face of the earth would have heard of “The
King”. Everyone would be talking about the man called Philip. He went on:
“In

Reaching down, Philip picked up a folder only a quarter inch

“A long time ago my father wrote a sample constitution as a
guide to the emerging countries leaving communism and coming into the European
Union. None of these countries accepted this constitution, but I think it was
the best form of government ever designed.
“This constitution is based on natural law and God given
human rights. Similar to the original American constitution, it will have total
religious freedom, the first of all human rights. The elders can govern however
they want by the consent of the people without any interference from me,
providing they do not violate the basic laws of this constitution.
“The elders selected by the people and the religious shall
set up small local governments based on this law. They shall decide on the
rules of order and implication of this constitution. They shall be judges of
every dispute just as it was before King Saul, our first King. Whoever breaks

you can set up a community chest approved by the elders and judges. All

“There will be peace because I will
protect my people, the little people. If somehow one of my men is killed, I
will personally come to avenge his death, and it will be better for those
responsible if they were never born. It will be our vow to go to the ends of
the world at any cost to avenge the death of one Knight. To harm one Knight will
be the same as bringing down the wrath of God.
“His Holiness has ordained that whoever dies in my service
to protect any Knight, priest, nun, bishop, cardinal, or child shall receive a
plenary indulgence and shall not see any fires of Hell or Purgatory. But whoever goes against any one of us shall
be condemned.

places. And now, I must go to the aid of my friends. I have a small army with

World

“At any moment now we will all be raptured up to Heaven.
Christ will then destroy this Antichrist and the Beast, and purify this world.
We will then be brought back to this world to rein a thousand years with the
living Christ. Prepare to be raptured, and pay no attention to this
Antichrist.”
The PTL followed suit, Jerry Falwell declared that God spoke
to him and said that “The Antichrist is alive and gathering his army in
The Catholic Spiritualists declared that
Pope was the Antichrist because he had re-stated that Catholic Dogma takes
precedence over spiritual revelation, therefore they wanted nothing to do with
his other sword.
They announced to all their followers not
to worry about the civil wars because private revelation had declared that
there would be a warning from God before the chastisement. The fact that half
the world was already dead did not seem to bother them. They still were waiting
for the prophesied warning that all would see and be converted.
The Liberal Catholic Church had hoped for a democratic Pope,
and now they were in disarray. The American Bishops had Conferences after
Conferences but could not figure out what to do about Philip and his authority
from the Pope.
The Traditional Catholic Church, who had
refused to accept the changes in the Church after Vatican II, argued amongst
themselves, and decided to wait and see if the New Pope would restore the
Most of the Bishops of the world had already received
letters from the Pope and were quietly informing priests, nuns and brothers of
the Pope’s will. They were informing the people and the people were talking to
everyone.
The American President
called an emergency meeting of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. All Chief Admirals,
Generals, Senators and heads of State attended.
President Thomas addressed his audience, “Gentlemen, you
have all been watching television and know about this man called Philip von
Habsburg, who calls himself King of France.”
President Thomas: “Please, Senator, we are not here to
discuss his merits or flaws. We are here because he plans to invade
General Lee: “May I remind you, Mr. President, that
President Thomas: “Yes! But we have no right to interfere in
a civil war of Germans against Germans. There is a German General that has some
authority but not much.”
Senator Grimes: “Bull ####! That is exactly why all these
wars have happened all over the world, because we have done nothing, and you
know that Moslems are behind the mobs and the economic crash. And what do we
know about this General? Is he going to
be another Hitler?”
“President Thomas: “We know now that it was the Moslems, but
it’s too late. It takes all our efforts to keep peace at home with all the mobs
here. But an invasion of one country into another is something we have never
tolerated. The Moslems were German
citizens.”
Admiral Williams: “Mr. President, why
should we try to stop this King Philip?
With no more than a speech on television and no deaths that we know of,
he has totally restored order to
General Lee: “What if he comes after our
bases also?”
General Macarthy: “He wouldn’t have a
chance. He has no planes, no tanks, just some farmers with almost no weapons.”
President Keys: “That’s beside the point.
We don’t know his intentions and we don’t know what other countries will do.”
Senator Pane: “What other countries? All are in anarchy. If
we stop him and I’m sure we could easily,” he looked around at the Generals and
the Generals nodded, “but we would have the entire Catholic Church against us.
Let me remind you that 40% of this country is still Roman Catholic, and 85% of
Silence prevailed for several minutes. Senator Mills leaned
forward over the table and looked around at everyone with a very serious look.
Quietly he said.
“What if he is the Antichrist?”
No one answered, and again there was silence for a time.
Finally, President Thomas broke the
silence:
“I don’t know what he is up to, but we had better find out.
General, send out a representative from one of our German bases to meet with
him and find out his intentions. If he will leave our bases alone, we will not
try to stop him.”
Two days later, the Joint Chiefs of Staff met again.
President Keys held two letters in his hands.
“Gentlemen, I have a reply from Philip von Habsburg, I have
placed a copy on your desk. I would like you to read the letter of the general
who met with Habsburg. I will read it out loud and you can follow along.
Mr. President,

finished reading, he said, “I think we have a problem.”
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
March to
After over a week’s stay at the castle, Philip was
depressed. His call for help to follow him into
But Philip expected two million Frenchmen to answer his
call. He couldn’t wait any longer. He had to move fast since these people could
only last a few more days on the food and water that they had. He did not expect
He looked at the Holy Grail. “If ever anyone put all his
trust in you, this has got to be it.” He called the twelve men in. “Let’s
march!”
Merlin went before the cart and the ass that pulled it. Philip
followed behind him with the Twelve As they marched, they sang songs and prayed
the Rosary. Through
As they went on through the country, crowds cheered them on
and gave whatever they had in food, wine, water and fuel. Through Strasburg
they went, and again the citizens cheered and helped.
“Your Majesty, we have good news.”
“Please get up. That makes me nervous. My name is Philip,
just Philip, and kneeling is for God only. What is it?”
“The German General and his army is waiting for us in the
“How many are there?”
“Not many, Your Majesty, since they think you’re crazy, they
laugh at you. They don’t consider you a threat, but they are well-armed. There
are about three thousand men. The German
mob also sent out spies to see what you are doing. We are those spies.”
Philip laughed. “Go tell them we are coming. We shall go
right at them.”
“What about aircraft?”
“Sir! There hasn’t been any aircraft over
“So we don’t have to worry about air power?”
“No sir!”
“What do you know about this German General?” questioned
Philip.
“Nothing yet, he seems
to be a good man who just wants what is best for Germany but is forced to use
dictatorial methods to bring back order and peace to his country.”
“Is there any way of talking with him and showing him that
we want the same thing for
“We have tried but he does not trust anyone. You will have to confront him first. Sorry,
but he does not trust you.”
“Philip looked over at the Grail and gained his courage
again. “This is probably your doing also.” He gathered his generals around him
to discuss strategy. The best thing to do would be to retreat to the mountains
and fight Rambo style, but Philip couldn’t bring himself to allowing the Holy
Grail to be seen retreating. There wasn’t time to work around the sides of the
oncoming army.
“What about the American army? Will they help?”
“No sir! Word has it that they are afraid to stop you
because of the American Catholics, but even many of the American Catholics
think you might be the Antichrist.”
As they marched towards the German army the silence became
deafening. Philip could hear a bird
singing. Merlin and the priests pulled up the cart. He took off the leather
cover. The Holy Grail shot out reflections of light. The Cardinal began to
sing: “Holy God, we praise your name. …” Everyone followed in a low voice, but
the sounds echoed across the valley.
Philip pulled out his sword and stuck it in the ground
twenty feet ahead of the Grail. “That’s as far as they are going.” He said.
When the Germans came and when Philip saw them, he knew he
couldn’t even slow them down. There were just too many of them. Philip began to
worry about the Holy Grail and the priests. He began to consider how he would save
them. He walked over to the cart and opened the leather box. The sun caught the
gold, the stones, and the brown crystal cup, and put off such rays of light
that Philip had to turn his eyes away before he would be blinded. He moved
around to the opposite side and looked at the chalice. Merlin stood behind him.
The blood had become liquid again, but seemed fuller.
“OK, my Lord! What a poor choice you have made in picking me
to do your work. In less than an hour, all will be lost, including this
chalice.”
Merlin put his hand on Philip’s shoulder. “Man of little
faith. God does not depend on your brains or your power, only your desire to do
His Will. He will do the rest. Look!”
Philip turned around to see what Merlin was pointing at.
Over the hills from the West was an army of men as far as the eye could see. It
seemed to be millions and they were mostly plain clothed civilians, armed with
hunting rifles or axes or whatever they had.
Before he had a chance to rejoice over the sight, someone
shouted, “Look, look to the south.” And up the valley from the south was
another army of civilians. This time they were Austrians. From the north came
another army of Germans. The German army dropped their weapons, and the German
general walked forward towards Philip:
“It seems my people want you over me. So shall it be.”
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
The Hot Line
Soon word hit
President Ahmadinejad listened to these traitors, knowing in
his mind that he was only using these communists for his own plans to welcome
Mahdi into the world. As mayor of Tehran
in 2004, Ahmadinejad spent millions on improvements to make the city more
welcoming for the return of a Muslim messiah known as the Mahdi, To the
majority of Shiites, the Mahdi will be the last of the prophet Muhammad's true
heirs, his 12 righteous descendants chosen by God to lead the faithful to their
ultimate reward. President Ahmadinejad hoped to welcome the Mahdi to
“Gentleman,” Ahmadinejad declared, “What we thought as a
minor nuisance has become a considerable problem. This man, who calls himself
King, has united the entire German people and is setting up a new German
government. He has done it without a real army, only private citizens. Word of
his success has reached
“We have planned these simultaneous civil wars and attacks
among the West for over twenty years. It has worked well all over the world for
the past two years. We are on the brink of victory and world domination. We
cannot allow this man to give hope to these Catholic countries. If he succeeds
in
Ahmadinejad looked worried for the first time in two years
and spoke passionately,
“We must stop this self-appointed king.”
He continued,
“We cannot count on our allies, for as you know, there is no
one that can be counted on to do what Allah needs to be done except a devout
Muslim.” He paused, “It is time we stopped him ourselves. The Russian
government is looking at him as one of their own since much of his army is
Orthodox, some even Russian Orthodox. There is even a Patriarch with him, the
man we forced out of
After a short discussion of the possible ramifications, a
vote was taken. The Iranian president went to the hot line. Terrorist
headquarters in
President Thomas was waiting by the phone and he knew from
the system who was calling.
President Thomas:
“What can I do for you, President Ahmadinejad?”
Translation was instantaneous by computer.
“This will be our
first direct conversation, so I am assuming this is very important.”
“Mr. President, we have a problem that we can not let go of.
Our Intelligence tells us that this man who calls himself “King”, this
Habsburg, is planning to unite all Catholics in the world against us. We
have millions of Moslems in
Thomas: “Since when have you cared about lives? One billion
lives have been lost in the past two years, and we know you instigated all of
it including the last pope.”
Ahmadinejad:
“You have no proof of that. If you did, you would have done
something. You have sat back protecting yourself and have done nothing. You are
more to blame than anyone else. I only called you to inform you that we are
going into
President Thomas was silent on the other end of the phone.
He thought about the situation. He knew that Philip von Habsburg in only a few
weeks had become the Moslem’s number one problem. They would not be stopped
from going after him. He also had the problem of thousands of preachers and
Catholic priests shouting from pulpits and television shows that this man,
Philip, was the antichrist. Even if he wanted to stop
Since the Arabian oil had been cut off two years earlier,
the American oil reserves, especially military reserves, were very low.
Training flights, ship movements and transfer of troops were kept to a minimum.
Transfer to natural gas was underway for all the military but it was a slow process. Some of the military was even being used to
plant corn and grow ethanol fuel. Tax breaks and even government grants were
given to companies to get oil shale production going in
“Are you still there?” questioned Ahmadinejad.
“I am thinking,” said Thomas in a quite voice.
Ahmadinejad: “You do not need to respond. We are going to do
what we have to do to protect our fellow Moslems in
Thomas: “You and I both know that it was Moslems that
created the riots in
Ahmadinejad: “I guess we have nothing to talk about.”
Thomas: “We are not sure about this Habsburg yet. He could
be an enemy even to the
Ahmadinejad was now the one silent for a long time. “We do
not want a war with
President Thomas hung up and called the President of Israel
without letting go of the phone. “Prime Minister, this is President Thomas. We
have a problem.”
The President explained his conversation with Ahmadinejad
and asked his advice. The Prime Minister was surrounded by Moslems and knew
that it was the Moslems that blew up the canals.
The Prime Minister was silent for a long time and then
formed ideas out loud: “This Habsburg, many Christians are calling him the
antichrist. --- He is bringing peace back to
Thomas thought about it and did not like it, but the Prime
Minister was right, maybe not moral but right. This would bother Thomas, also a
Catholic, for the rest of his life but he would stand down and do nothing
except warn Philip what was said in the phone call with Ahmadinejad.
President Ahmadinejad sent a message to a 15 year old boy
living in
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Philip, who spoke German fluently, was talking with the
elders and former government officials of
Simon entered the room looking at Philip, “Philip, I need to
talk with you privately.” They moved away from the elders to a corner of the
large room. Simon sat down so that they could talk face to face as Philip
stood.
“We have a call from the President of the
“What do we know about their plans?”
“Nothing yet, but Israel agents in the Middle East and on
the coast lines of Europe are watching out for them and will report to us. They
will not come by air. They have no fuel.”
“No fuel? They have 20% of the world’s oil reserves.”
“Yes! Lots of oil but no fuel! They have no oil refineries.
We are not sure they could make it by ship.”
“We will have to prepare for them no matter what. We must
pick the battle ground and not them. Arrange to bring the Twelve to me at
once.”
Philip finished his conversations with the elders and set up
a central government and smaller governments all over
It took a few weeks, but finally the Iranian plans were
known. They boated up to
“We need to pick the place of battle,” said Philip. “As long
as we know they are coming they have no chance, but we want to loose as few lives
as possible.”
After a two hour meeting it was decided to hold up in
Philip’s Twelve Commanders knew that the Moslems would come
stealthily from all sides of the city. They would not attempt to battle his
army in open warfare. Philip kept nothing in the city except Knights and
trained-armed fighters. They hid in buildings all over the city and prepared a
trap for the Moslems.
“Philip, a Moslem dressed as a priest looked into the
Cathedral to see you and the Holy Grail and then left,” said a Knight dressed
in priest’s clothing.
“They will come soon. I will pray at the altar and let them see
me. Do not let more then five or six get through the doors.” Philip actually
seemed unafraid and for the first time, courageous.
The Knights knew that they would come into the city in
groups of twenty but would gather together at least in the last few blocks
around the Cathedral and on only three streets. It was on both sides of these
three streets that the Knights were prepared for war.
The Moslems came dressed as farmers but carried machine guns
under their coats and they came in groups of from two to twenty. Just as the
Knights predicted they started meeting up in three locations three blocks from
the Cathedral on three different streets. In all there were only two thousand
of them but they were all prepared to die for Allah.
At the entrance to the Cathedral they stopped spread out
down the three streets. They were very silent. The Knights knew that the
Moslems had hand held bombs but they had orders not to attack until at least
they opened the doors to the Cathedral.
Suddenly the Moslem soldiers threw off their coats and
raised their machine guns. Two stood by both doors of the Cathedral waiting for
orders to swing them open. At the moment the doors were opened the Knights
opened windows and doors on both sides of the three streets all at once up to three
stories high and opened fire into the streets. The Moslems were hit on six
sides all at once but ten Moslems made it into the Cathedral.
Above the main floor of the Cathedral, on both sides, were
four balconies and on them eight Knights with modified semi-automatics holding
special shells. The first shots exploded on impact spreading copper strips of
wire in every direction. The Moslems lay dead at the door. These special
bullets killed even if they missed.
Philip was praying in front of the Holy Grail and the first
he knew of the fight was the blast of the doors and less than a second later
the sound of eight blasts that sounded like thunder and then a string of
explosions. Philip stood there not turning around. He just waited for a bullet
or bomb to hit him. He listened to the sound of bullets and bombs outside.
Almost a minute went by but he was still afraid to look behind him and stayed
praying. Finally all sounds stopped and it was silent. He realized that he had not been hit and gave
thanks but was not in any hurry to look back.
Slowly he turned only his head and the first thing he saw
was one of the eight Knights that were guarding him from the inside. The Knight
was standing there just looking at him. By the time he turned all the way
around all eight Knights had come down from the balconies to the ground floor
right behind him and were all looking at him.
Philip was embarrassed at his fear, but said nothing. He
looked down the long main isle of the Cathedral. The doors were open and the
light was making a 45% angle over the entrance. Philip could see a pile of
debris and blood, shining red in the light, covering the floor. Philip swung
his eyes away from the sight towards the Holy Grail. He wanted to cry over the
dead and he wanted to be angry at God for making him involved in the deaths. He
was about to curse God when a voice or a memory came to his head. It was the
words of the great Pharisee, Gamaliel: “But if it be from God, you cannot
overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God.” (Acts 5:39)
He lowered his head, ashamed of his anger.
He turned around facing the eight Knights who were next to
him. One of them pointed to a side door. The small group left the Cathedral
with the Holy Grail. Outside was a
battle ground with blood and bodies everywhere. There were only two thousand
deaths but it was so concentrated that it seemed like millions.
Not one Knight was dead or injured. The Knights called in
the citizens to bury the dead and clean up the mess.
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Philip’s grandfather said on his deathbed that
he was still King of Austria -
Philip did not believe in Monarchies as such but
as a protector of the people and their rights, sometimes it was the only
way. What he objected to was the idea of
absolute monarchs. A Monarch at the will
of the people was not a problem. Philip always believed that a

determination: “We shall march to
Philip sent the Frenchmen back to France and his
German allies remained in
He told all the members of the Austrian
government to step down. He ordered all
local governments dismantled and reorganized according to the new
constitution. He told the Austrian
people the type of government they would have and that there would be no
Federal taxes. Taxes would be on a local
level because he would take care of the Federal Government with his own
wealth.
“As King of Austria, I ask nothing from
you. I do not want your money or your
honor. I offer you only one thing, peace
- peace between Austrians and peace from any foreign invasion. The elders of your town will judge disputes
and set up government systems until you can have democratic elections. No one will ask anything from you except that
you commit no crime against your neighbor.
If you do, you will answer to me directly.”
The Austrians loved him. Millions came out to cheer him.
He stayed on in
Philip stayed at his grandfather’s house as he
watched all of Western and Eastern Europe come under his control within a year,
including
Philip moved the uncorrupt body of his
grandfather,
But Philip was not happy. He was concerned about the Holy Father because
Philip marched around the Alps through the
straits of
On the first day in
They zigzagged around the fallen pillars and
statues until they reached the steps to the main doors of the Basilica. Simon picked up the leather box very
carefully and carried it up the long steps and past the Pieta. The main roof was still mostly gone. The arch over the main altar remained
untouched. Down the long main isle they
walked in the open air. They had to walk
around and over fallen pillars, roof structures and statues. It was sad but the rays of the sun came
through the open roof and struck the gold pillars of the main altar creating a
feeling of Heaven. Philip looked at the damaged Church with sadness and then
looked up at Simon.
“We have the money, money from Solomon, money
from the old
As they walked down the long isle, Philip felt a
feeling of triumphant joy. He felt that
he was called to do a job and it was being accomplished. The closer he got, the
better he felt. Birds were flying around inside the main arch and the sun made
them a shinny white. They were singing
as they flew. Philip stood taller and
taller as he walked, pulling his shoulders back. He was no longer ashamed to face God, because
God’s command was being accomplished through him. It was happening and he was part of it. When he reached the foot of St. Peter’s tomb,
he knelt down at the top of the steps and laid his sword on the floor. He kissed the first step and then walked down
beneath the altar to kiss the glass over the tomb of St. Peter and say a
prayer.
Simon carried the leather box around the railing
to the main steps up to the high altar.
He walked up and placed the box on the high altar right in the center
over the tomb of Peter and removed the leather box over the Holy Grail. He
bowed and walked backwards down the steps.
Light streamed through the blown-open back wall and right through the
brown diamond cup of the chalice.
As Simon was backing off the altar and as Philip
was coming up from St. Peter’s tomb, the white clad Pope Benedict stepped into
the area under the great dome. As he
walked towards the altar, Philip spotted him and stood in silence. The white robe glowed in the sun and his
black skin disappeared so that you could see nothing but his sparkling eyes.
Benedict walked around to the front of the
stairs next to Philip and turned to look at the Holy Grail.
“Some
power in the Blood of Christ, wouldn’t you say!” He knelt on one knee and then got up again.
“That is the true and real physical presence of
Christ in that cup. ---- But then, it is the true and real physical presence of
Christ in every Mass and every tabernacle.” Benedict then hugged Philip. “There
is something missing.”
Merlin answered, “You are looking for this?” He
held out a large spear point and screwed it on the tip of the lance. He then tapped it on the marble floor of the
stairs and presented it to the Holy Father.
“Your Holiness, the lance of Cassius, known as
St. Longines, as I promised.”
The Holy Father kissed the tip. He laid it on the altar and stepped back. “At
last, my Lord, the lance that opened the Sacred Heart of Christ to start the
Church and the Mass and the Blood that redeemed mankind and opened the gates of
Heaven, and the Chalice of the first Mass, all back at their proper resting
place.”
Philip then looked into Benedict’s eyes and
said:
“I was worried that you would not be safe.”
“I told you that I would be OK here.” Benedict
smiled.
“I was worried.
You are my authority and without you I have none.”
“The next pope will not change my ruling without
a just cause. But since this is not a
matter of faith and morals, he could if he had just reason. You are here to see me because you think your
job is almost over – right?”
“It will not be long now that we will have
brought peace and unity to
“What about the rest of the world? What about
“What?
The entire world? I cannot do
that.”
“That is what you said about
Benedict gave Philip a blessing and a smile and
then turned and walked away. Philip
stood there for over twenty minutes just stunned at the matter of fact attitude
of the Pope and thinking of how impossible it would be to bring peace to the
entire world. He looked at the Holy
Grail that he was going to leave there.

The phone rang in the President’s office. It was the hot line from the Pentagon.
“President Thomas” said a voice from the hot line. “We have
a huge problem. Come as quickly as you
can to the war room.”
In the war room he was shown satellite photos of an Asteroid appearing suddenly from behind
the sun. The gravitation of the sun
slung in around in a direct path towards earth. One computer set up replayed
the path and the sling around the sun, but the big screen showed the live
Asteroid.
“Where is it headed?” asked the President.
“The Pacific Ocean just off Northern California, about 250
miles off shore between
“What damage is expected?”
There were over 30 people in the room including generals,
scientists and most of his cabinet.
Everyone just stood looking at Thomas or bowed there heads.
“I asked a question.
What damage is expected?”
“Sir”, said the scientist, “it is huge, about two miles long
and about a mile in diameter.”
“When is it expected to hit earth?”
“We have 14 days and 7 hours.”
“What damage is expected?”
“We have not assessed this yet. But it will be major. In fact it will affect the entire world one
way or another.”
“What do you mean?
Give me some of your best assessments.”
“The last Asteroid of this size that hit the earth may have
flipped the earth over and even changed the magnetic north and south
poles. That would be the worst
scenario. At the least it will cause a
title wave from one to two hundred feet high traveling at the speed of sound. …
When it reaches the shallow waters of the continental shelf it could clime to
1000 feet. It will flood
“Can we stop it?”
“No! We could hit it with a hundred Nuclear Bombs but all we
would get is a hundred Asteroids and now they would be radio active.”
“What are your suggestions?
What do we do? Where will it flood?”
General Macarthy: “You must start now to evacuate all low
lands in
“I have already ordered all Trident Subs out to sea and air
bases are preparing to move all assets to mid states.”
President: “I cannot
wait for all the information and every possible scenario. If the people have only 14 days they must
start moving now. Give me a map of the
areas to be flooded. I am going on
Television a soon as possible.”
All Television and Radio stations were warned to give time
to the President for a very important message to the people.
“Fellow Americans, we face the biggest challenge to our
nation in history and we must act now to minimize the damage and loss of
lives.” He turned to show a photo of the
Asteroid. “This Asteroid, which I have
named, Wormwood, is headed for earth. It
is two miles long and one mile in diameter. … It will not hit
Thomas changed photos.
“This is a map showing the possible areas of the West Coast
that may be flooded as a result of the impact of the Asteroid. It will hit about 250 miles off the North
Coast of California and may cause a wave up to two hundred feet high traveling
at the speed of sound. In the deep ocean
it will not be high but when it reaches the continental shelf of the coast it
will quickly raise to maybe 1000 feet and much higher when it hits land. It may go as far inland as
“I ask everyone to be prepared with extra food, water and
whatever else you can think of because this could be much worse than what I
have shown on this map. We do not know
what impact this could have on the rest of the world. The impact will cause
other problems throughout the world other than the tidal wave. Prayer would help all of us.”
Of course, evacuation did not go well and in spite of the
army many people were killed by those trying to gain an extra hour or two ahead
of others. No logic can be made of
this. Fear has no logic. Fear is
selfishness. The opposite of fear is not
bravery but love. The
By Tuesday you could see the Asteroid without a
telescope. Its tail did not trail its
path but pulled towards the sun.
Scientists met and argued all over the world as to what
might happen when the Asteroid hit. It
was argued that at one time in history the entire world was affected by an
impact including flipping the world upside down. No consensus of scientists came forward but
all agreed that it would affect the entire world one way of another. No time was left to do anything about it.
As the Asteroid hit the upper atmosphere it began to burn up
and put off a huge red ball of fire around it and a tail of fire. Fear hit
everyone who looked up at it. Churches
all over the world filled up with people on their knees before God. Some Protestants stood out in the open
expecting to be raptured up to Heaven before the Comet hit.

When all calmed down, President Thomas met in the war room
with the Generals and cabinet. “Give me
an estimate of the damage.”
General Macarthy:
“It can only be an estimate.
We sent out jets over the areas of damage. Probably a hundred million Americans
died!
President: “What is our best plan now?”
It was silent for a long time. Again General Macarthy spoke:
“The first and most important thing is that we must burn or
bury the dead and quickly. I have talked
with doctors and their biggest worry now is an epidemic of many different kinds
of diseases because of the rotting bodies of people and animals. We must also see to the feeding of those who
have moved and are without homes.”
President: “Are we going to use the army to do this?”
“The army, the police, fire departments, coast guard, navy,
everything we have and as fast as we can.”
President: “What else do I have to know?”
Prior to President Thomas coming into the war room, the
Generals and Cabinet were briefed on a bigger problem by two Physicists. After
a moment of silence and everyone looking around to see who would speak out. Macarthy addressed one of the Physicists.
“Doctor Grinstead!”
“President, have you noticed the location of the Sun?”
“No! I have been busy.”
“Well! Sir, the sun is not where it used to be. It is 28 degrees off the equator.”
“What does that mean?”
“A great deal! It means that the Earth has shifted 20
degrees more off its true North and South Poles. The Sun and Earth have not changed but the
Earth’s angle of rotation has changed.
We don’t know all of what this means but we have figured out one problem. The North and South Poles will melt a great
deal of their ice caps over the next few months.”
“I understand some of what that might mean, but what is your
assessment in the near future and in the long run?”
“The first thing that will happen is that the Ocean floors
will rise little by little until they are 10 to 25 feet higher than they are
now. You can imagine what that will do
to all coast lines throughout the world, and coastal cities. For example, a great part of
“Gentlemen, thank you for the briefing and before we leave
here today we will map out a plan of action to clean up the mess, feed the
people and prepare for future flooding and the lack of rain. However, before we start making these plans I
want to place one more problem on the table.
The Moslems are unifying to go to war against
CHAPTER NINETEEN
Mahdi
Unites Islam
Mahdi, although just a boy,
interpreted the coming of the Comet as a sign from Allah that it was time to
take over the world. The American army was neutralized and employed in taking
care of the homeless people and expanding the food and fuel supplies. Khomeini
and Mahdi prepared a talk to be addressed to the entire Moslem world. It was announced in advance that Allah had
sent his final prophet to unify and take over the entire world for Islam and
eliminate all heretics.
Mahdi sat in a gold high backed
chair dressed in a purple robe trimmed with a two inch gold band from around
his neck to his feet. He was just a boy
but he had large piercing black eyes and a deep manly voice. In order to build his image Khomeini and
others knelt on the floor in front of him so that the people could see that
they all worshiped and honored him before zooming in to his face and his
talk. Periodically the cameras would
pull back to show the elders and the crowds behind them knelling before him.
Khomeini wrote his speech.
“My children, my fellow Moslems,
my true worshippers of Allah, I am Mahdi, the final prophet of Allah. I have come to bring Islam to the entire
world so that there is only one god, Allah, and so that all heretics are
eliminated from the world either by death or conversion.
“What slowed Allah’s plans for
the past 1,200 years since the death of Mohamed is your divisions. There is only one Allah and only one
Islam. These divisions must end.
“What I am commanding right now
is that all Moslems become one people and one nation without borders. I already know what Islamic governments
refuse to give up their power. I will take care of this. It is not government leaders that I am
addressing now but the people. Because
of greedy governments that live in luxury, we Moslems have lived as second
class citizens in the world. Come with
me and that will be over. Moslems will
be the blessed of the world. Allah wants
your loyalty here and now.
“In the next two days you will
see the start of my plans to first unify Islam, then to rid our land of Israel,
and then to invade Europe. Watch and
see. May Allah be with you and protect
you.”
Mahdi bowed his head and the
cameras pulled back showing thousands of bowed heads in the great open air
center.
Two days later
Like Philip, Mahdi’s army received
little resistance since most of the Moslems from all these countries thought
him the last prophet and joined in with his plans. In a short time Mahdi was standing in

world. Our job is to appease the wrath
of God and keep doing it until His anger goes away. Half the world has died in the last three
years. With what I see in the Moslem
world and those who will soon die from the corrupted dead bodies and lack of
clean water we might be lucky if anyone is left alive in the next year. We can wait for the Moslem army to come to
Europe or go to the aid of
Some of the knights reminded Philip that the creation of
Finally Father Merlin had enough of the conversation.
“Enough, enough, we are Catholics and we have obligations as
to the Jewish people. They are the root
of our faith. If for no other reason
than the fact that Christ and Mary are Jews, we must go to their aid. But I
will give you a better reason. The Holy
writings of God in the Bible and many other places show that the Jews must be
planted in the own land in the end of times.
The reason for this might not be very good for the Jews, but it is God’s
Will. As such we have an obligation to
protect them in their land until their appointed time.”
Philip pondered for a moment.
“What do you mean that it is not good for Jews?”
“Later, I will tell you later, but not now. Right now we must go to their aid.”
“The priest has spoken,” said Philip. “We go to

energy.

take a great deal of time, so Philip asked President Thomas to hold off the

“No fear. No matter
what you feel or hear do not fight or strike out. This is from God, and it is all in God’s
hands now. We must only wait and pray.”
Philip backed away from the battle lines and when he could
feel that it was safe, he ordered his men to back up. They continued to do this for hours. In the distance they could hear screams of
pain and death as though the world was dying of pain. Gun shots were going off everywhere but
nothing towards Philip’s people.
Behind him in the far distance Philip could make out a
flickering light. He shuffled towards it still not able to see his own
feet. It was Merlin. He had made a tent and lit candles inside of
it. Merlin looked up at Philip: “Tell
the people to gather around this tent and pray.
This is going to last a long time but there is nothing to fear.”
A million Crusaders gathered around the candle which did not
go out for three days. No one ate or
drank but only prayed. The war was
over, God had ended it.
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Burying
the Dead
Thirty hours of pitch black darkness ended with a slight red
light coming over the
Slowly everyone began to stand up and look around. No one talked and everything was very quiet.
Eventually one bird sang out and people began to at first smile and then to
shout and laugh.
Philip got to his feet and left his army and road on
horseback to the front line where the first opening in the earth took place in
Meggito. All the Moslem army was
dead. He got off his horse to look at
the bodies. They seemed to have died of
fear. Most had their eyes open and some
kind of great fear on their faces.
Others seemed to have been shot full of holes from their own
people. He could see that fear made them
shoot at any sound that they heard.
Philip did not know it but the same thing happened all over
the world during the darkness. People
had died of fear. What fear, no one
knew. But they saw something that scared
them to death.
All Radical Islam was dead.
Only the more moderate Moslems, who refused to come to fight, remained
in the world. Mahdi was dead but his eyes were still open. He was shot by his own
men in the darkness.
The Jews thanked Philip and made plans to bury the millions
of bodies around
Philip called President Thomas to inform and thank him for
the war in
The President:
“I am enlisting all the army, police and coast guard to bury
the dead. I have estimated that over the
past 4 to 5 years 75% of the world has died.
We probably have less than 1-1/2 billion people on earth today. Because of the chance of contamination, I
have asked the people not to bury the dead but only mark them because of the
chance of contamination. The army will
go around flagging bodies and others with protective suits will follow to burn
or bury them. You should do the same in
Philip: “To find and bury 2 to 3 billion people will not be
easy. Has anyone come up with a
logistical plan?”
Presiden: “The best our experts can come up with is five to
seven years. In order to prevent the worse of epidemics, every inch of the
world must be searched and cleared. Even the dead animals and birds must be
found and burned. There is nothing more
important than this right now, or a plague will take the rest of the world.”
Philip: “I will take care of this part of the world. Let me know what areas are not being worked
and what countries are not contacted. We
can work together to cover the entire world.
We may need a lot more fuel than we have to move troops into every area
of the search.”
President: “I can get
you ethanol by ship loads. Give me drop
off points and we will start delivering.”
Philip: “In the mean
time we will use coal and wood. I will
put one out of every two people burning or burying bodies. We will burn the weapons also.”
Philip and the President organized the burning and burying
of over two billion bodies. Philip went
back to
All over the world people worked in pairs looking and
burning bodies. Where they did not go,
plagues wiped out entire populations. Another half billion died in the
plagues.
It was seven years after the three dark days. Philip sat in silence hardly even talking
with his wife and children. It was a
heavy weight on him to see and remember all the dead, many of whom he had
killed with his own hands or ordered killed.
This was not how he hoped his life and faith would be. He now hoped that it was all over.
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
The Ark of the Covenant
After seven years of peace, Philip received a call from one
of his Arab friends. He and a crew of
twenty were searching around the
Philip, Simon and Merlin flew into
“What is it that brings me away from my family all the way
to this desert?” Philip was not agitated
but simply very tired of being a King.
“Sir, I have something of great interest to show you. One of the many earth quakes also split this
mountain just below this church and just below where we are standing. It has exposed a cave with interesting
contents. I think only you should see
and decide what to do about it.”
“You are making this very mysterious.”
“Not so much so, Philip,” said Merlin. “I am sure I know what we are about to see.”
“What,” said Simon?
“Wait and see!”
They climbed down the mountain in the front of the church
only twenty feet down. There was a long
split in the mountain going all the way around the base. In the split was a large opening into a cave
at least 20 feet high and 15 feet wide. Through the entrance it was even
larger. Candles were already set up
waiting for Philip and two Knights stood by guarding the contents of the
cave. Between the two Knights Philip saw
what was so important to bring him all the way from
It was The Ark of the
Covenant. Philip just stared at it
with a little fear. He did not move
forward, but Father Merlin did. “At
last, at last, it must be the time prophesied.
I thought it was this. Yes, I thought so.” He turned towards Philip. “That is why I came
with you. I felt this was what he
found.”
The two Knights must have cleaned it because it was shinning
bright from the candles and the light coming in the entrance to the cave.
The
On both sides of the hole were two Cherub Angels looking
like 15 to 16 year old boys with wings.
Each boy (or Angel) knelt on one Knee facing the opening but with his
eyes and head turned away from the opening.
Their hands were folded in prayer.
Their back wings covered the back side of the opening and their front
wings angled down pointing to the opening.
Both Angels were bowed down in prayer.
The entire gold trim of the ark was carved into grape vines,
grapes, pomegranates, angels and strange writings. Four large gold rings were on the top four
corners of the ark. Through these rings
were two gold poles 12 feet long with gold knobs on the ends.
Philip spoke almost in a whisper. “This is the Ark of the Covenant.”
“Yes, yes!” said Merlin.
“I knew it was somewhere in these mountains.”
“How did you know this?”
Philip said.
“Oh! You forgot what I taught you. You will read in 2 Machabees 2:1-8 that
Jeremiahs hit the

“Come, come, Philip,

Inside were two white stone tablets with writings on them
but nothing else. Merlin bowed before
the tablets. “Those writings were made
by the finger of God. The first tablet has the first three commandments and the
second tablet has the other seven, first how to love God and second how to love
one another.”
Philip backed away.
He was still afraid of the
“Not on your life.
The last person to touch this ark died.
You are a priest, but I am not.”
Philip backed away even more.
Simon trusted the Priest and knew the Priest would not harm
Philip. Simon reached over and put his

He wondered about that from that moment to his death.
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
World
Peace
While the bodies of the dead were still being buried and
while Philip was re-building the Basilica of Saint Peter, the Holy Father was
busy. He sent out a letter to all the
bishops of the world. Not too many Bishops were left. His letter read:
The Peace of Our Lady of
On the causes of God’s
anger and chastisement
March 25, 20--
Congregation for Divine
Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments
Preamble:
[1.] Almost
100 years ago an Angel prophesied to three children in
[2.]
In spite of constant attempts by our predecessor of great memory, Supreme
Pontiff John Paul II, these abuses continued.
He wrote the Encyclical Letters, Quattuor Annos, Ecclesia de Echaristia,
and Redemptionis Sacramentum.
[3.] In 1984 Pope John Paul II asked for a
report on the acceptance of the New Mass (Novus Ordo) or its rejection. Based on the feedback world wide,
the Holy Father sent out the
Indult, Quattuor Annos, granting to all dioceses the right to offer the
Tridentine Mass with certain conditions based on a fear of possible disrespect
for the authority of the Church to introduce the Novus Ordo and that these
groups, although preferring the Tridentine, do not deny the True Presence of
Christ in the Novus Ordo. Again we
offered the Tridentine to all priests worldwide without the approval of the
local bishop but the abuse of the Novus Ordo persisted.
[3.]
In spite of constant attempts by our predecessors of great memory, from Supreme
Pontiff John XXII till now, we have pleaded with our separated brethren for
unity of all Christians. For this also
God the Father’s anger would no longer be abated.
[4.] Because of the clear sign of God the
Father’s anger on these things, I have determined to rectify these things.
Chapter I
THE REGULATION OF THE SACRED LITURGY
[5.] The regulation of the Sacred Liturgy rests
specifically with the Apostolic See..
[6.] The
Roman Pontiff, "the Vicar of Christ and the Pastor of the universal Church
on earth, by virtue of his supreme office enjoys full, immediate and universal
ordinary power, which he may always freely exercise", 35 also by means of communication with the
pastors and with the members of the flock.
[7.] It pertains to the Apostolic See to regulate
the Sacred Liturgy of the universal Church, to publish the liturgical books and
to grant the recognitio for their translation into vernacular languages,
as well as to ensure that the liturgical regulations, especially those
governing the celebration of the most exalted celebration of the Sacrifice of
the Mass, are everywhere faithfully observed.
[8.] By the power vested in me by God, and because
we have been unable to stop the abuses, we hereby and hereafter declare that
the experiment with the Novus Ordo is over in the Latin Rite of the Church and
will no longer be the Liturgy of the Latin Rite. From this time forward (with due allowances
for the change) the Tridentine will again be the Liturgy of the Latin Rite.
[9.] The Tridentine Liturgy does not allow for
experimentation or change and therefore the altar must be arranged according to
the Rite, and the Alter rails must be returned to the Churches. All regulations including architecture of the
Tridentine Liturgy are including in this apostolic order. The Tridentine Liturgy does not allow
Extraordinary Ministers or alter girls.
[10.]
The observance of the norms published by the authority of the Church
requires conformity of thought and of word, of external action and of the
application of the heart. All that is said in this Instruction is directed
toward such conformity of our own understanding with that of Christ, as
expressed in the words and the rites of the Liturgy.
[11.] The Sacred Liturgy is intimately
connected with the principles of doctrine, so that the use of any unapproved
texts and rites leads either to the disappearance or the attenuation of the
link between the lex orandi and the lex credendi.
[12.] Individual Bishops and their Conferences do not have
the faculty to permit experimentation with liturgical texts or the other
matters that are prescribed in the liturgical books.
[13.]
Any Catholic, whether
Priest or Deacon or lay member of Christ's faithful, has the right to lodge a
complaint regarding a liturgical abuse to the
to the Apostolic See on account of the primacy of the Roman Pontiff.
Chapter II
THE UNITY OF ALL CHRISTIANS
[14.]
The failure of the last fifty years to bring about any unity of
our separated Christians is mainly our fault.
In stead of dialoguing on the local level with our separated Christians
on doctrinal differences many Catholic bishops and priests have adopted the
heresy of “pluralism” and even preached the same. There can be no unity without a single truth
and a single doctrine.
[15.]
The second failure on our part was the poor example we gave to our
separated Christians in our Liturgy and sacraments. Many of our separated Christians have great
reverence and respect for the Sacred Liturgy, even to the extreme, and have
expressed their horror at our irreverence.
This poor example will end at this moment.
[16.]
The third failure or our part was the many slanders within the Church with our
clergy and the cover up of these great crimes.
We have discovered that this was a deliberate infiltration of both
communists and homosexuals into our seminary systems to water down basic
doctrine and our moral standards. We are
cleaning up these seminaries of any even slight indication of homosexuality or
pedophilia. Any complaint made against
any priest with even reasonable proof of immorality of any kind will result in
an immediate call to
[17.]
Unity is a doctrinal concept and not an
emotional concept. The only unity that matters is unity of
faith, unity of theological truth. We
have many united
[18.]
As expressed very
charitably in Pope John Paul II’s encyclical ET UNEM SINT the key to unity is
the chair of Peter, the pin that holds all of Christ’s
CONCLUSION
[19.]
Armed with the above corrections to our own failures as expressed
above, I will now travel throughout the world meeting with our separated
Christian leaders and demand an end to this disunity. The former support given by governments to
these non-Catholic faiths is over and bringing them into the fold will be much
easier. Radial Nationalism has ended. The concept of any World Government is
over. The only World Government is not
of this world, but of God’s world, the

Philip traveled throughout the world selling his government
constitution. He expressed that the
failure of governments to support natural law and moral law of God, resulted in
God’s anger and the destruction of 75% of the world’s population. With only one billion people left on earth
and 15% of land mass permanently under water, it was not hard to convince
people that the great calamities of the past years was God’s anger. The comet, the earth quakes, the three days
of complete darkness could not be explained any other way.
Philip stressed that he wanted nothing more than to help
people organize good governments and live happy lives. He wanted no authority for himself. However, he had the wealth of Solomon’s
treasures and was using it to help all nations get quickly on the feet, and
this was a great weapon to convince people to adopt his constitution.
God must have been pleased with Benedict and Philip because
it began to rain throughout the world in a gentle, soft way and without strong
winds. Rainbows were everywhere. Because of the shift of the north and south
poles the ice caps were mostly melted away but enough was left to create just
enough breezes and temperature changes to create and move small clouds from the
seas to land and deposit fresh water.
The world wide temperature changed to such a point that almost all the
world was tropical. Some of the melting
ice made it into the rivers and lakes of the world.
World wide vegetation increased at a drastic rate. Summer lasted ten months a year almost
everywhere. Although some countries and
parts of others were buried under the seas, what was left was like a Garden of
Eden. In fact, food for only one billion
people was plentiful. The world wide
weather was so consistently gentle that changes in clothes was not even
needed. Clothes were needed for modesty
but not for weather.
Ten years after the great chastisement and World War III,
Churches were packed; the birth rate was up drastically. Because there were seven women left to every
man, the Holy Father legalized polygamy for just one generation to bring back
population to the world. Within ten
years the average age of the world went from 53 to 23 years.
Philip, himself, had ten children. Very little work was
needed and people lived very happy.
Charity was common but little was needed. Philip returned to his Austrian mansion with
his wife and children. It was time to
retire.
Pope Benedict came to
Merlin, Philip and the Holy Father sat down enjoying a fine
Cabernet Sauvignon.
Philip von Habsburg:
“God has used us to clean up the world and to bring about His Kingdom of
Heaven on Earth. I have thought about
the prayer Christ taught us, ‘thy kingdom come’. It has.
Christ has defeated the entire world.
Maybe it was painful, like birth, but the results are great, even
wonderful.”
Pope Benedict: “Yes!
What we as Christians could not accomplish, God was forced to do,
Himself. We should not be proud of
this. We should have done it so that He
did not have to. The fact that 75% of
the world died is not something to be proud of.
God will not be mocked and when we failed to do His Will, He took over.”
Merlin, the Hermit: “Yes! We have been nothing but tools in
His great hands. But do not be so content with what you see now. Remember, Philip, what I told you years ago.”
Philip von Habsburg:
“What did you tell me? I do not remember.”
Merlin: “I told you about Apocalypse Chapter 10, the little
book.”
Philip: “Yes! You promised to tell me the mystery behind
this little book, which you said was a period of history. Why was it sweet in his mouth but bitter in
his stomach?”
Pope Benedict smiled at Philip, but then his expression
turned sad. He picked up a bible and
turned to Chapter Ten. He read it out
loud:
“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven,
clothed with a cloud, and a rainbow was on his head, and his face was as the
sun, and his feet as pillars of fire.
“And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his
right foot upon the sea and his left foot upon the earth.
“And he cried with a loud voice as when a lion roareth. And when he had cried, seven thunders uttered
their voices.
“And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices I was
about to write; and I heard a voice from heaven saying to me: ‘Seal up the
things which the seven thunders have spoken; and write them not.
“And the angel, who I saw standing upon the sea and upon the
earth; lifted his hand to heaven,
“And he swore by him the liveth for ever and ever, who
created heaven and the things which are therein; and the earth, and the things
which are in it; and the sea, and the things which are therein: that time shall
be no longer.
“But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he
shall begin to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God shall be finished, as he
hath declared by his servants, the prophets.
“And I heard a voice from heaven again speaking to me, and
saying: ‘Go, and take the book that is open, from the hand of the angel who
standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
“And I went to the angel, saying unto him, that he should
give me the book. And he said to me:
‘Take the book and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy
mouth is shall be sweet as honey.’
“And I took the book from the hand of the angel and ate it
up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it, my belly
was bitter.
“And he said to me: ‘Thou must prophesy again to many
nations and peoples and tongues and kings.”
Philip: “I have no
idea what that means.”
Benedict: “There is a
great deal of meaning to this and it has unfolded right before our eyes.”
Merlin: “I promised to explain it to you in time and that time
is here.”
Philip leaned back and looked carefully at the bible
passage. He sipped the win and waited
for Merlin or Benedict to explain: an angel from heaven, an open book, the
voices of the seven thunders, the mystery of God, the voice from heaven, and a
book bitter in the belly but sweet in the mouth.”
Merlin: “Philip, that
angel you saw was your guardian angel and he guided you to do what you
did. The book of the seven thunders was
a period of history, a very short period of history. The mystery of God was how God would be
forced to bring about his final world wide victory over his enemies using the
seven thunders, the great chastisement and a period of peace.
“Because it is history it also includes this period of
peace. And it seems sweet to us, but the
results will be bitter in time.”
Philip: “That was my
question, what does it mean to be bitter?”
Merlin: “This peace
seems so good. Although many have died,
those left are living in peace and plenty.
There are no trials and tribulations, no heresies and other troubles.
This all seems so sweet and in fact what most people pray for. Not saints, of course, because they know
better.”
Philip: “What do
saints know that I do not know?”
Merlin: “Trials and
tribulations make us strong in our faith, but good times bring weakness in body
and soul. Saints pray for and embrace the cross because without the cross we
become weak in faith.”
Philip was a little uneasy because he knew that Merlin was
about to take away his joy in the great and total victor he had a great part
in. But the Holy Father seems to know exactly what Merlin was about to tell
him. Benedict just sat still with a slightly sad look on his face.
Merlin: “God has
given what 2000 years of Christians have prayed for – peace. But peace and
prosperity breeds soft people. By the
time most of the older people who went through the chastisement have died and
the young people who were too young at the time or born after the chastisement
reach their adult ages, faith will become soft.
People will say that all is well and we do not need God’s commandments
and sacraments. Many will not have the
sacrament of Confirmation. Faith will
become lukewarm. When that happens, the
next great tribulation will come into the world. Because of this the peace will not last long,
a little book of history. And then will
come Chapter 11 of Apocalypse.”

Philip was sad. His job was finished and now he wanted to
retire and prepare for death. He said
goodbye to the Holy Father and Merlin and went to talk with his wife and
children.
Philip: “
Empress Sofia: “We
are antiques now, with nothing left to do.
But we have accepted the work that we did not want to do, and became
clay in God’s hands and you should feel good about that. What are you trying to say to me?”
Philip: “It is time
for us to give up our titles of Emperor and Empress. It is time to give up all power and live in
prayer.”
Philip: “There is no
person that I know of that can take over without me worrying about too much
power in the hands of one person.”
Philip: “That is
true! If I disappear, where do people go to solve problems in their different
countries? We cannot have another United
Nations.”

Then suddenly she quit all activity and went farther into
the desert to be alone. After months
living by herself in the tent, she gave birth to a baby boy without the help of
a mid-woman or anyone else. The baby did not cry but simply looked at her with
open large black eyes. He already had
teeth and a full head of hair.
After only a few moments from birth the new baby smiled and
spoke in a deep voice: “I am.
I am here! I live!”
CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
The
Antichrist
The election of Peter II did not make everyone happy. Mostly
because of his age (44 years), but also because he was not even a bishop at the
time. Although at one time a great
preacher and retreat master, he had spent the last 10 years of his life in
prayer secluded in the mountains praying for peace.
One Cardinal particularly was upset because he was not a
Cardinal or even a bishop and was not even at the conclave to vote. Gathering some Cardinals with him, he
declared himself pope, becoming the last anti-pope. He attracted liberal and Charismatic
Catholics to himself and another split in the Church began. He moved to
As predicted by Merlin’s
interpretation of little book of Apocalypse, the long duration of peace and
splendid fertility of the earth, produced people who became very
ungrateful. They led sinful lives, in
pride, vanity, unchastely, frivolity, hatred, avarice, gluttony, and many other
vices.
Many began to doubt
whether the Catholic faith was the true and only saving faith and whether maybe
the Jews were correct still expecting the Messiah.
Because of the great ingratitude
over the great peace, God give Lucifer and all his devils power to come on
earth and tempt his godless creatures.

In front of 123 Rabbis and religious leaders of
On the appointed time the same 123 religious Jews met before the dead
body of Julian. His companion stood over
the body. Doctors verified that he was
dead and that he remained dead for three days.
Julian’s companion was dressed in a tan robe with a gold metal band
around his waist and still holding the dagger. He was young, about 17 years of
age, with long blond hair, blue eyes and very white skin. He was picked by Julian to look like an
Angel.
In front of world wide Television coverage, he placed his hands on
Julian’s chest and then raised them to Heaven. Julian opened his eyes and rose
up from his waist without hands. The
imitation blond Angel bowed to him. He
stood and looked at the crowd of Jewish Rabbis.
Rabbis stood in silence with their mouths open. After a long silence, one Rabbi shouted, “The
Messiah has come!” Then all repeated the
shout and bowed in reverence to Julian.
Julian raised his hands ordering silence. He looked first into the television cameras
with his soft black eyes. Then he turned
to the Rabbis:
“My children, my nation,

Silence went throughout the Rabbis as each looked around to see if
anyone would speak. Rabbi Ullman walked
to the front of the crowd:
“My Lord,
“How do you plan to bring our enemies together as our friends and into
one nation? We have fought against them
for many years and the hatred is great between us.”
Julian:
“Why are the Moslems your enemies?
Why are you their enemies?

Julian was handsome with beautiful soft eyes. He spoke in a gentle voice. He did not advocate penance and sacrifice or
even a humble and moral life. Like the

else matters. To give example to others

Julian came before the seven judges dressed in Rabbi Robes. He had around his neck a gold chain with a
five point Jewish star. When he stepped
forward to talk a rainbow of light appeared around him as though it was coming
from his body. He had the appearance of
Jesus Christ as we see him in pictures and Icons. He spoke with a deep but gentle voice:
“Judges of the world, God is pleased with what you have done to bring
peace and government structure to the world. God has rewarded you with great
prosperity in food and mild climate world wide.
All this is good and something to be proud of. The one area of division that was never
solved by you is the three great religions of the world, Christianity, Judaism
and Muslimism.
“Another area of concern that you have observed and worried about is the
constant degeneration of faith and morals in the world over the last twenty
years. I know that you have been in
dispute as to what to do about this problem.
“As you know I have solved the problem of Jews and Moslems in the
“I am here to help bring this harmony and prosperity to the rest of the
world. I am here to help you and the
entire world.”
Judge Giovanni of the European Zone stood to speak:
“Mr. Julian, what do we call you?
What title do you have in this newly created Middle East Nation?”
Julian:
“I have no title. I am a religious leader and prophet but not a priest.”
said Julian. “I am not a ruler, King or President.”
Giovanni:
“How can you help us? We are at
peace throughout the world but we have a problem of a degeneration of morals
because there is too much leisure time and life is too easy for people.”
Julian left the podium and walked back and forth with a smile on his
face. Radiance increased over him until it glowed throughout the room changing
from white to green to blue to red. He
was showing his power and impressing the judges or at least producing fear in
them. He went on:
“Why do you worry about the morals of the world? The commandments in the Torah and Bible were
given so that people would get along in peace.
You have peace. No one is harming
anyone else. All these unreasonable
rules that the Catholic Church or should I say, Pope Peter II, buts on people
creates strife and disharmony. It is the
laws that create problems and not the actions of the people. Did not God create sex and the pleasure of
it? Why do we have laws against it? Did not God create food and the pleasure it
gives? Why do we have some laws against
its use? Yes! The laws were needed when
we had no peace but we do not need these laws now.”
The judges took time out to talk with one another and began to argue
back and forth. Julian sat down waiting
for them to come up with any argument against him, and he knew they would.
Giovanni spoke for the seven judges:
“You are asking us to go against or disobey the Holy Father, Peter
II. It was the Pope and his Emperor, the
late Philip, who brought peace to the world and stopped the wrath of God. Are we to bring back God’s wrath for
disobeying His Commandments?”
Julian stood up and went before the podium. He put out his right hand, palm up and rays
came out from it lighting on fire a group of small flags in a tall vase in the
back of the room. He then smiled at
them:
“As I told you, I am God’s prophet and if you do not believe that I
speak for God, then believe my power. If
Peter II can show you this power, believe him, but if not, believe me. Get rid of these unreasonable laws and join
in with me. If you do not, the conflict
between those having fun and those keeping these unreasonable laws will
escalate into conflicts throughout the world.
Get rid of your obedience to Peter and have faith in God’s mercy. God does not want people to suffer. He wants them to be happy.”
Julian left the seven judges without waiting for an
answer. The world was mostly disarmed
and except for
The seven judges met with Pope Peter II, and tried to talk
him into changing the moral law as he had done to the marriage law for one
generation. They wanted marriage laws
eliminated and the laws against fornication done away with. They told him of the power that Julian showed
and advised that Julian had put together a very large army. The rest of the world was no longer equipped
with armies. The world’s population was
under one billion and no one suffered want of anything. The judges were afraid of Julian and told
Peter the same. But Peter II refused to
change the moral laws of God:
“You are being blackmailed by power and signs and
wonders. Do you not know that the demons
do these fake miracles? You want me to
deal with a demon. I cannot change the
laws of God even if I wanted to. I am the protector of these laws, not the
maker of these laws. I allowed a slight
change in the marriage law because no law ever existed in the Old or New
Testament on one wife. It was a Church law and not a theological bible
law. When it comes to Bible laws, Divine
Laws, they cannot be changed.”
The judges were both afraid and impressed with Julian. They, in fact, began to make excuses for his
ideas and little by little believed in him.
They knew that if they sided with Julian they would be condemning Pope
Peter II. Signs and wonders carried the
day, and all the seven judges asked to become part of Julian’s Empire. Over the next year, Julian convinced most of
the countries in the world. Peter and
the remnant Catholics left were isolated.
Julian continued at an enormously fast pace to build the

Julian pointed to the outside altar through the doors where sacrifices
were prepared. Lightning shot out of his
finger and hit the outside altar lighting up the sacrifices into a great
roaring fire. He then placed his hands
over the oracle of the Ark of the Covenant and black smoke shot out of the hole
filling the Holy of Holies with black smoke. Turning back to the cameras:
“You have now entered heaven on earth and the laws of the past are over.
The prophet Jesus of Nazareth was not and is not the son of God. His followers
made him to be a God and his Church is only superstitious heresy.
“The true Christ has come into the world. I am
he. Your true God stands before you.
I am Christ and God. There is only one God, and not three and that
one God is me. Your kingdom with God is
here.”
He paused and the people gasped and became silent. He had never said this before. This was a hard saying. He gave them time to grasp what he was saying
and then went on:
“In my kingdom you are allowed to do all that you please, renounce fasts
and sacrifices. All that is needed is
that you love me. You who believe in me
will be pardoned of all sins even before you commit them and live with me
eternally on earth.
“Only two laws of Moses must be kept, the Circumcision and the Sabbath,
or Saturday. But the other restraints of
the passions are no longer laws but gifts from me. Freely love whomsoever you want so long as
you believe and love me first.
“The sacrifices known as the Liturgy or the Mass of the Catholics shall
be outlawed throughout the world. The
Continual Sacrifice was symbolic of me, but I am now here.
“I am the Continual Sacrifice and
therefore the Mass is over and shall be no more. It is outlawed throughout the world and
whosoever offers or attends this Mass will be punished.
“I am God and only images of
me will be kept in the world. All other
images will be destroyed.”
He raised his hands up in a V shape and lightening came out from all
parts of his body and fire from his eyes.
He sat on the Ark of the Covenant between the two angles so that they
seemed to be pointing their wings at him and ordered the feast to begin. At his command and as he had prepared, women
stripped to the waste and poured wine on their bodies dancing in and out of the
temple. Hundreds of naked women and men
danced erotically all over the streets to excite the lust of men and
women. Thousands of women went through
the crowds giving out free wine and spirits. So is the real abomination of
desolation as prophesied.
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
Enoch
and Elisa
When the Abomination of Desolation occurred in the
When the smoke cleared the tourists were looking at two men
dressed in century old clothes. It was a
sight so strange that they stood staring at them. The tourists were frozen and could not move.
One of the men was over seven foot tall with at least a
three foot black beard and long black hair. He had no gray hair. He had no cover over his head, and his
clothes were made of brown un-bleached lamb’s wool. His robe came down just below his knees and
his sleeves to just below his elbows. He had no belt. He looked even taller
because of the man with him.
The other man was only about five feet tall. He also had a long beard and long hair but it
was pure white. He had a hair rope belt
around a long brown robe that went to the ground.
It was a strange sight, a very tall man who looked young but
with a beard of an old man, and the other very short with the looks of a very
old and wrinkled man. Finally the two
men looked at the tourists and then at each other. They talked with each other for a few moments
and then walked towards the crowd of tourists.
The short man was Elias, the Thesbite, and he spoke
first: “You have come here to honor the
Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. We are
pleased.”
Enoch, the tall
man, looked down at Elias: “We have made
them quite frightened. Perhaps we should introduce ourselves.” Looking gently at the group:
“I am Enoch and my little friend is Elias. We have been sent by God to save people from
their sins and bring people back to God.
We are the two lamp stands before God.”
One of the pilgrim tourists was well versed in Scripture:
“You – you are the prophet from before Noah and the flood, the one that
did, did not die?” She whispered the
words and then almost choked on the last two.
“Yes! And my little friend has
not died either.”
“He was taken up to Heaven in a chariot.” She was getting braver.
“Well! He was taken up to
“We have been watching and recording the works of man from
“
“Well! My sweet lady, it is not Heaven.
We must die in Christ before we can enter Heaven and we have not died
yet.
Elias, although small in stature, spoke with a strong, masculine and
authoritative voice that demanded respect and attention:
“How ungrateful the world continues to be. God has continually said from the time of
Enoch to the time of Christ that if you keep the Commandments of God, He will
give you peace and prosperity. God also
told you that if you did not He would bring war and strife to you in order to
bring you back to His laws.
“Over and over throughout history when there was great peace and
prosperity the people forgot God. This
era is no different. Did not you parents
and some of your older people go through the great Chastisement and into the
greatest peace and prosperity since the Garden of Eden?
“But what happened, you forgot God and His Commandments. You abandoned His Sacraments. You have
accepted the demon, Julian, as your God.
Julian, who mocks Christ and His Continual Sacrifice of the Mass, called
himself god, but he is possessed with no other than Satan, himself.”
The group of tourists were shocked at Elias’ statements. They came to honour Mary but not as the
Mother of God, but only as the mother of the prophet, Christ. Julian had convinced them with his miracles
and gentle talk that he was God and that Jesus was only a prophet. They could not answer Elias but remained
confused and silent. Elias became
angrier about the stupidity of the people:
“In spite of the fact that Our Lord, Jesus Christ, proved His Divinity
by countless miracles by Himself and by his disciples and apostles you have
rejected Him for a demon who gives illusions instead of miracles. You did this to yourself even before the
coming of the demon, Julian, by abandoning the very source of grace and wisdom,
the Sacrifice of Our Lord in the Mass, and therefore lost the grace to see or
hear the truth.
“This accursed one is sent by the devil in order to lead men into
error. We have been preserved by God at
a secret place, where we did not experience the suffering of men. We are now sent by God in order to oppose the
heresy of this destroyer. Look, if we
resemble you in stature and age.”
Enoch put his large hand on
Elias’ head and spoke kindly to the people:
“Julian is possessed by Satan, himself, and is the Antichrist and the
enemy of God. We have come to fight his
heresy and convert you people back to the true God. We have come with the wisdom and power of the
Holy Spirit. The power of the Holy Spirit is not illusions but real.
“After God punished the world for its sins, He tilted the earth in order
to bring the perfect weather that produced all the prosperity that you now
have. But you have abused this peace and
prosperity and so it will end.”
Enoch raised his arms to the heavens and commanded the sun to
darken. Suddenly a black ball appeared
in the sky and moved in front of the sun, and darkness fell over
Elias was not so compassionate with them and pointed down the side of
the mountain. Suddenly the entire valley
flamed up on fire with black smoke engulfing the valley. Enoch smiled at his enthusiasm and waved his
hand so that Elias would put out the fire and he did. Enoch addressed the people again with
kindness:
“Repent of your sins and return to Jesus. Tell everyone that you can that we will go to
Tiberius in
Right before their eyes Enoch and Elias disappeared. The people ran down
the hill to the city and told everyone what they had seen. The Television Station broadcast their
ranting and raving as if it were nothing but illusions but much of the world
reflected on it and many went to Tiberius to see if they would show up. Julian
sent ten of his demon possessed men to investigate and/or even kill the two
witnesses.
But Enoch and Elias did not go directly to Tiberius. Instead they
appeared at the altar of St. Peter’s Basilica in
Peter walked down the stepped of the altar and bowed before the
prophets:
“You are Enoch and Elias. I have
expected you. Have you brought
instructions for me from Our Lord?”
Elias spoke but this time with some kindness:
“Yes! Our Lord wants you to leave
Peter lowered his head:
“The great persecution of Christians is about to start?”
Enoch placed his two large hands gently on Peter’s shoulders:
“Yes! We are about to close up
the skies and end the prosperity on earth.
Julian will then order the mark of the beast and start martyring those
who refuse the mark. God will send his angels to protect you and those with
you.”
At that moment Peter was able to see with human eyes a large crowd of
angles dressed in white with gold breast plates and helmets on them and
carrying large gold swords. Around Peter
and the angels appeared a bubble of light encompassing them all.
“Wherever you go this shield of light and the warrior angels will go
with you so that the demons that help the Antichrist will not be able to find
you.
Peter bowed his head in obedience to God’s message but was sad because
he knew that soon would be the biggest persecution of Christians in the history
of the world. As prophesied more
Christians would be martyred in the next three years than in all the rest of
the history of the Church. Enoch and
Elias bowed in respect to Peter II and disappeared.
Peter II started calling all bishops throughout the world, and those
bishops who believed and obeyed him passed this on to priests and their
people. Only about 25% of the bishops
were left who had not abandoned the Church.
Demons tried to listen in to these conversations in order to report back
to Julian their plans, but all the conversations by phone or person to person
were protected as if in a bubble and the demons could not hear or
understand.
Enoch and Elias then appeared in the main
Elias spoke to the Jews standing there quoting the Old Testament
prophets showing them that they were wrong in expecting an earthly king, when,
in fact, Jesus fulfilled all OT prophesies as a suffering and redeeming Christ.
He talked for over an hour and everyone listened quietly because of the way
they appeared.
Enoch spoke to the Christians and Moslems explaining how he was taken up
to
He explained the power of demons and why Julian was a demon leading them
to Hell. He explained that God’s
Julian’s spies then tried to kill the two prophets and came at them in
mass but ran into an invisible wall almost knocking them all out. Getting up they again tried to penetrate the
shield that they could not even see. Touching an invisible wall but could not
pass through, they backed off.
Again Elias spoke:
“Because of the sins of the people of the world, God has authorised us
to end the great prosperity that he has given the world decades ago. Because of your sins you no longer deserve
this prosperity. We will shut up the
rains throughout the world. Those who
believe us should start right now to stock up food because in a few months food
will be hard to find. We are going now
to shut up the heavens, but we will return to
Again lightening hit the centre of the square and the two prophets
disappeared.
Enoch reappeared in the centre of the South Pole and Elias appeared in
the centre of the North Pole. Both at
the same time held out their hands to the heavens and the Earth began to shift. The already shift of the magnetic North and
South Poles creating the improved world wide weather began to shift again so
that the Poles were moved towards the intense heat of the sun. The great ice caps immediately began to melt
and the rotation of the earth slowed down so that a day increased from 24 hours
to 30 hours. At the same time
Gravitation increased by 20% causing work and movement to be harder. A 150 lb
man or woman suddenly became 180 lbs.
The melting of the ice caps started the raising of the oceans floors
again and swamping the coast lines even more.
As the ice caps disappeared, the winds disappeared. This prevented the movement of rain from the
oceans to the land. Suddenly rain
throughout the world ended.
Immediately it was noticed world wide that the days were longer and that
because of the increased gravitation people were heavier and more
sluggish. The longer day without water
dried up the vegetation and in some areas the animals died from the heat very
quickly. People who listened to the two
prophets started quickly to pick and store whatsoever they could find before it
dried up from the heat.
The two prophets again returned to
“Because of the sins of the world, mostly for accepting and worshipping
a false god, Julian, we have shut off the rains and it will not rain again
until we have completed our mission of bringing back the children to their
fathers, the priests of the Catholic Church.”
Fear of the Lord spread throughout the world and cameras followed the
two prophets as they preached and quoted the Scriptures. They performed miracles everywhere they went
convincing many that they were the true prophets of God. Constant attempts on their lives were made by
Julian’s hit-men but lightening always stuck their enemies dead before any harm
could come to them. This also was televised.
The killing of Julian’s men by lightening was impressive to the people.
Julian was informed of all that Enoch and Elias were doing including the
change to the world and the shutting up of rain. He ordered his armies to go quickly
throughout the world to gather all the food he could and bring it to
During these months of world wide famine the two prophets continued to
preach in the cities of
Julian ordered world wide television coverage of a speech he was about
to make: He sat on the Ark of the
Covenant in the Holy of Holies with cameras all around him. He now wore a golden crown and held a golden
staff. He dressed in a gold trimmed
white silk robe. He put on his most
gentle voice and best smiling eyes:
“My children of the world,
“As you know two demons have come to shut off the rain of the world and
to bring misery to its people. I would
defeat these two now, but it worries me that some of you believe their lies. I cannot, I will not help those of you who
have believed them and rejected me. To
help and feed my people I ask everyone to come to
“In order to know who among you still recognise me as God and those who
have believed these two demons, I ask only one small thing of my loyal
children.
“Come here and show your faith in me and your rejection of these two
demons. I, in turn, will give you a permanent mark that will allow you to have
free food if you need it and to buy and sell throughout the world. In time, those without my seal of faith will
be characterized as united with these two demons. They will not be able to buy food. Free
transportation will be given to all who come here to my
For the next months people from all over the world marched into the
temple making a pledge of faith in Julian as god, and being tattooed on the right hand and the forehead. The sign of the cross was outlawed. The sacraments, especially the Mass was outlawed,
even marriage. The promise was heaven on
earth without anything being called sin except not accepting Julian as
god. After being marked they were
brought into a great hall where they could feast on great tables of food and
wine. Hundreds of cooks and waiters
continued to bring food to the tables for months until all were marked that
came.
The Holy Father, Peter II, went to
After all who wanted to come to the
With the help of demons, Julian’s henchmen went through the world
seeking out anyone who was not marked and seizing them. People tried to hide in the mountains but the
demons helped Julian’s henchmen and informed them of where these people were
hiding. Only those with Peter II were
spared this search and capture.
Enoch and Elias now had a very hard job convincing people to come to the
true faith. Everyone who denounced
Julian and accepted the faith in God knew that they would be tormented and
killed for their faith.
Julian offered lust, pleasure and gluttony in exchange for worship.
Enoch and Elias offered sacrifice and death in exchange for faith in the true
God. In spite of this, by sound logical
preaching backed by powerful miracles the two prophets were converting many day
by day. This was angering Julian more
and more until he became a raving beast.
Every attempt by Julian to have them killed failed.
Conversion to the faith in Jesus Christ was especially successful with
the Jews because Enoch explained plainly what occurred before the flood and how
he introduced into the world the science of writing. He explained the reasons
for creation that the relationship between the Tree of Life in the Garden of
Eden and the symbolic sacrifices of the lambs.
He then showed that Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross, was the fulfilment
of this symbolism. He showed how the Liturgy of the Mass was the continuation
of Christ’s sacrifice on
Elias showed by quoting Scripture that the Catholic Church and the
Tabernacles throughout the world is the
He explained how Christ’s blood was the new covenant with his people and
how Baptism was the continuation and replacement of the law of
circumcision. He went on to explain
prophesies of Daniel and how they prophesied Julian as the Antichrist and how
he was possessed by Satan, himself.
Julian continued to torture and kill all who refused to worship him and
receive the mark of this worship. He no
longer put on the face of a kind and holy man but now took on the face of a
violent and angry beast. Even the Jews who were the first to accept him as the
Christ began to doubt him but continued to fear him.
Finally Enoch and Elias arrived in
Finally they marched up the long steps of the
“Son of Satan, your standing there is the Abomination of Desolation
prophesied by Daniel and John. You do
not fool us by your lies and promises.
All you have to offer to these people and yourself is eternity in Hell
where you will burn in the fires forever and ever.
“All the evil of the world culminates in you who are totally possessed
by Satan and his demons. You can pretend
to be god, but your reign is almost over and you will soon be rewarded for your
evil with the pits of Hell. Your god,
Satan, will join you in the fires of Hell.”
Julian became furious. Lightening and fire came forth from him lighting
up the entire
Enoch and Elias walked calmly out of the inner temple with Julian
ranting and raving after them but unable to do anything to them. The people saw this and all realised that
Julian was not god and that the two prophets had more power then he did. They came out before the altar of sacrifice
and looked up to Heaven giving thanks and praise to God for protecting them and
letting them confront the beast without harm.
A great light came out of the sky over them and they seemed to be
listening to a voice from Heaven. All
observed that they were talking to God.
They bowed their heads in obedience to what God was telling them. The
shield protecting them disappeared.
Julian sensed that the shield was gone.
He ran back into the
Julian jumped up and down like a mad man waving his arms around like he
was swiping at invisible flies.
“See, see, these demons have no power over me.”
But Julian could see that the people were not responding to him. He could see that he lost them. They were no
longer looking at him as god. He left
the open square and went alone into the
Television cameras came in from all over the world to televise and
report on the death of Enoch and Elias as they zoomed in on the two strange
looking men stretched out on the Altar of Sacrifice like two lambs.
The actual moment of their death by Julian and his ranting and raving
was played world wide over and over.
Julian was loosing his fallowing day by day as people reflected on his
demonic look as he killed the two prophets.
This was not the actions of a confident and calm god. Julian did not come out of the
Television cameras were glued to the two prophets but reporters avoided
saying anything against Julian. They
asked where these two came from and why they seemed to welcome death. They had claimed to shut off the rains and as
a matter of fact, it had not rained for over two years world wide.
On Sunday many in the world were watching television around the
world. Some were expecting Julian to
come out of the
Suddenly right before
the cameras the seven foot tall Enoch opened his eyes. He raised his large hands and crossed them
over his chest. Elias then opened his
eyes and sat up on the Altar of Sacrifice. Enoch said something to Elias and they got up
and stood on top of the Altar looking up to Heaven.
The world was watching as the two men came back to life after three days
and stood on the Altar saying nothing.
They looked to the sky and then a star appeared over them. Rays of light came from the star towards
them. Engulfed in these rays they slowly
rose up off the Altar and little by little their bodies and robes turned into
shinning white light. They continued to
rise slowly up into the sky.
Suddenly Julian came running out of the
“These two impostures cannot get away from me.” He was shaking a fist towards the sky. “I
will rise to the heavens and take them down and kill them again. Come back here tomorrow and see me rise to
the heavens and bring them back to earth where I will burn them on this altar.”
Julian stomped back into the
The next day he gathered together a large group of people to show his
power and bring back his glory with the people.
In the sight of crowds standing around and listening he ordered the high
strata of the sky to lift him up during his ascension into heaven. World wide television followed him.
With arms raised up he ascended up to the heavens and disappeared in the
distance. Cameras kept glued to the
empty sky but nothing more. Silence
engulfed the world waiting for something to happen. Ten minutes passed by but still nothing.
Suddenly a spot was seen where Julian had disappeared. The spot took on the looks of a comet as fire
started coming out from it. It was
coming right at the
Julian was burning and falling.
He crashed right dead centre of the Altar of Sacrifice cracking in two
the iron frame of the Altar but it stood in place without caving in. The sound of the crash was like thunder and
then there was a great silence. The
cameras were glued on the Altar. Then
moving closer to look into the Altar, the cameras saw the flames of the fire
slowly become smaller and smaller until they went out. Left was a face down burnt and nude body
completely black and burnt. The total
body looked like a large black worm so distorted that it hardly resembled a
human person. Silence all over the
world lasted a long time.
Then someone said: “It is
over. The persecution is over. We are free of him and the persecution.” He was right and soon everyone started to
rejoice and hug each other. Some went
down on their knees and gave thanks to God and others danced in the streets.
At that moment a small cloud came over
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
The
End of the World
The rain fell throughout the world and on
Throughout the world, people were rejoicing, dancing and
feasting. Those who could not marry
during the time of the Antichrist called priests to come and marry them. The Holy Mass came back into the open and
many went daily to the Sacrifice of Calvary.
Those who had the mark of the beast on their right hands and forehead
did not come back to the sacraments but despaired of forgiveness and seemed to
lack in grace. Sorrow engulfed them and
they could not rejoice. Everyone
believed that peace had returned to the earth.
They went back to a normal life but with almost daily merrymaking.
On the 45th day after the death of the Antichrist
the sky was blue with scattered white clouds drifting slowly around. It was calm and beautiful. But slowly the sky parted like a zipper and a
pure white light came forth from a line in the sky from the Eastern horizon to
directly above everyone’s head.
Everyone on earth turned their eyes to the sky and calmly
looked at the strange sight. As the
opening spread their appeared a large
cross of pure white light and on the cross was Christ Crucified also in pure
white light. For over an hour
everyone on the face of the earth could see him but no one said a word. They just looked at Him with wonder at what
they were seeing. After the hour Christ
came off the cross and changed into a robed and glorified Christ.
He lifted up His hand towards the earth. Suddenly
in the twinkling of an eye half the people on the earth disappeared. People who were standing together suddenly
were standing alone. One disappeared and
the other remained standing. All over
the world over a hundred million people disappeared and a hundred million
remained. All who had the mark of the beast disappeared.
Fear and wonder attacked those remained on earth and they
looked up to the sky again. Christ again
raised his right hand with His palm up and motioned to come. Suddenly the people on earth could see
hundreds of millions of bodies come up out of the ground ascending to the
sky. In the sky they could see the
bodies and souls meet and fuse together continuing past Christ into the
heavens.
Again Christ pointed towards the earth and bodies and souls
came up out from the centre of the earth and past Christ into the heavens. The people on earth wondered at this site but
were not afraid.
Christ looked down at all the people left on earth. He held out both arms towards them and they
started lifting off the ground. Slowly everyone left on earth rose towards
Christ body and soul. Peter II was
the first to reach Christ and gathered the rest with him and they all floated
past Christ into the upper heavens. As
they lifted up they gradually changed into transparent many colored bright and
beautiful light.
When all were gone into the Heavens Christ waved His hand
and arm in a sweeping motion and the earth
burst into a ball of fire just like the sun.
He waved His hand again across the sky and every star in the heavens
disappeared including the earth, moon and sun.
This is His Second
Coming.
He then ascended to the upper heaven. Trillions of people and angels awaited
Him. Again He waved His hand and the
entire Heavenly Jerusalem changed from a pure spiritual sphere to a physical
and spiritual Kingdom with both physical and spiritual beings and things.
There Christ rained with
His people in the New Heaven and New Earth forever and ever, amen.
