As we head into a new millennium, there is much talk about the Antichrist, the Second Coming of Christ, the great Chastisement, and even the end of the world. Desmond Birch's encyclopedic Trial, Tribulation and Triumph sifts out the legitimate, credible prophecies from the false and widely scattered body of teachings.
The author builds this case drawing heavily on sacred scripture and only those revelations and prophesies that have been approved by the Church.
Birch also traveled to Rome to translate ancient writings passed down by the Fathers of the Church contained deep in the Vatican library. Theses prophecies offer a gripped account of how the Antichrist will come to power, and how he will be ultimately defeated.
Recommended by Bishops, Priests, and Theologians alike, Desmond Birch has created nothing short of a masterpiece. Every quotation is documented and every fact thoroughly researched and footnoted. Twenty-three years in the making, Trial, Tribulation and Triumph will soon become the authority on how we view the 'End Times.' If you're curious about the sequence of events that will surround the end of the world, read this book.
A DesmondBirch Commentary:
ARCHBISHOP BERNARDINI (At Synod of European Bishops)WARNS OF POTENTIAL FOR MUSLIM INVASION OF EUROPE!
VATICAN CITY, OCT 14, 1999 (ZENIT).- During hiswords in the Synod hall, Italian Franciscan Archbishop Giuseppe Bernardiniof Smyrna, Turkey, who has lived in the Islamic world for 42 years, censuredMuslims for their lack of reciprocity toward Christians' efforts of dialogue.The Vatican Press Office published the text of his address yesterday, whichexplicitly denounces the Muslims' irrational hostility toward Catholics.
Archbishop Bernardini quoted an 'important Muslimfigure who, during an Islamic-Christian meeting said: 'Thanks to your democraticlaws, we shall invade you; and thanks to our religious laws, we shall dominateyou.'
Desmond Birch comments:
Approved Catholic Prophecy speaks of such an invasionfor sometime in the future.
Catholic prophecy speaks of a future invasion ofthe heart of Christendom (Western Europe) both by Muslim and Russian armies.Right now (under current conditions) the only credible threat the Russianspose to anyone (beside military lightweights such as Chechnya) is a nuclearthreat. According to Catholic prophecy from many approved Catholic prophets(Canonized Saints, Blessed and Venerable), the following scenario is instore for some time in the future.
[As you may guess, Desmond does not think it isthe far distant future.] By the way, my European contacts, several of whomwork in/with several European intelligence communities, confirm that severalnations are in deep trouble as far as internal integrity - i.e., it wouldnot take a great deal to kick them over the edge into civil disorder. Twoof the most prominent on that list are; 1st - France, 2nd - Italy. Thatwould/should surprise no one who reads much on Europe.
1. Sometime in the future France and Italy go intocivil war at almost the same time - France will probably be first. 'Wheneveryone believes that peace is assured, when everyone least expects it,…Revolution will break out in Italy almost at the same time as in France:'[Ecstatic of Tours,Trial,Tribulation and Triumph (TTT) p. 360.]
This happens after an economic collapse that isquite general throughout Europe (My personal assessment is that this willbe more or less worldwide). We also have an Italian, Blessed Anna MariaTaigi, prophesying about the same revolution inFrance (By the way, theseprophecies are not speaking about the 'French Revolution', which was longover when these prophecies were made in the 19th century);
'France shall fall into a frightful anarchy. TheFrench shall have a desperate civil war during the course of which evenold men will take up arms.' (Page 363, TTT)
Another approved prophet, Fr. Nectou (a JesuitProvincial in France) prophesied about a future civil war in France. Hewas not prophesying the late 18th century 'French Revolution',because he speaks of the total destruction of Paris, which has not yethappened, and he speaks of it being a general condition 'not confined toFrance'.
'During this Revolution, which will very likelybe general and not confined to France, Paris will be destroyed…' Fr. Nectougoes on to describe what many of us call the 'Age of Peace' as followingthis time of Revolution.
'Justice will reign throughout the whole world,and the counterrevolution will be accomplished.' (TTT, p. 351) [The meaningof the term 'counterrevolution' is explained in this section of TTT.]
2. There are numerous other approved Catholic prophetsquoted in TTT describing the same thing. This entire scenario will takecivil authorities by surprise, certainly as to the speed with which thingsdevelop. The Vatican will be one of the few authorities that will not besurprised. This will be largely due to the fact that there are a numberof orthodox men in the Vatican who are very knowledgeable about CatholicChurch approved prophecies
3. The civil war in both France and Italy willtake on a specifically anti-Catholic animus. This civil war in France willdevelop basically into a general war between Catholics (and a few allies)and the anti-Christian forces (particularly in France) which have beenrunning those countries for centuries. That ruling pattern began with theFrench Revolution in France. It began/culminated with Garibaldi in Italy.
4. The Catholics will be on the verge of beingwiped out in France, when, a great military Catholic leader will come tothe fore in France. (The prophecies lead me to believe that by thispoint, the Catholics and Protestants are fighting on the same [Christian]side against anti-Christian forces.)
5. ABOUT THE SAME TIME, A RUSSIAN ARMY WITH SOME'PRUSSIAN' (spell that East German) COUNTERPARTS WILL INVADE FRANCE ANDSURROUNDING COUNTRIES. The Russians will invade out of desperation.It will match their historic pattern. Whenever the Russians have gottenhungry or desperate, historically, they have driven South into the UkrainianSteps, or East into Poland in order to get what they need. This is a sixhundred year old pattern. In this prophesied case, they opt to marchWest, and do not stop at Poland.
[Not all of this is spelled out in the prophecies- but much of it is.]
Sr. Elena Aiello made the following prophecy in1959. She was the founder of the order of the 'Calabrians',an Italian order of nuns.
'Russia will march upon all the major nationsof Europe.' (TTT p. 392)
Speaking of the same time and events, Fr. Nectouprophesied,
'In a second battle at Frankfurt, the Prussianslost again and retreated as far as Siegburg, where they were joined witha Russian army. The Russians made common cause with the Prussians.'(That most probably means troops from former East Germany) (TTT, p.347)
THERE ARE DOZENS OF SUCH PROHECIES TO BE FOUNDIN TTT. I HAVE GIVEN YOU A FEW SNIPPETS FROM THEM HERE. IN ORDER THAT YOUMAY APPRECIATE JUST HOW MANY APPROVED CATHOLIC PROPHETS HAVE PREDICTEDSUCH AN EVENT, READ IN PARTICULAR, CHAPTER 8 OF TTT.
I am filling in the blanks (between the approvedprophecies) from 3 sources,
a. My knowledge of history and understandingthat it tends to repeat itself,6. The Russian/Prussian forces are only able to attemptsuch an invasion due to the fact that what we know as NATO no longer crediblyexists due to almost continent-wide general and civil wars which rack Europefor over a year.
b. Personal contacts from my younger years, whichI have kept alive for the last two decades both on the Hill, and in Europe(both Eastern and Western).
c. Piecing together all of the 'Intel'which gets published in many intelligence journals (e.g. British IntelligenceDigest). Many things, which would mean nothing to some others, meanmuch more to someone who has both a Catholic Prophecy roadmap, and contactsin various countries to verify certain items of information, which onereads from time to time.
Everything is chaos at this point in Europe. Oilpipelines and major refineries and storage depots are gone (if you gotem' and I don't, I'm going to lose, cause then you will have tanks andplanes with fuel, and I won't). So both sides destroy each other’s petroleumresources and means of storage and distribution. Hence all the WesternEuropean oil supply routes are gone by this time.
7. The U.S. has gone into a full-blown civil crisisof its own - thus taking it out of its position to impose 'order' in Europe.Russia now has a free 'board' to play on in Western Europe.
8. Eventually, at one point through direct Divineintervention, the forces of the French Military leader utterly devastatethe Russian/Prussian forces. The decisive battle will take place in Westphalia.Come to my house I'll show you on a map exactly where the final battlewill take place in 'the Birch Tree Country'. (Interesting coincidence ofname, huh?) That final battle will take place in the hill country Eastof Paderborn.
9.Late in this scenario (not necessarily in a plannedor coordinated manner) the Moslems will attack up through the Balkans.I wrote all of this out in TTT prior to the U.S. handing Kosovo overto fundamentalist Muslim forces on a silver platter. (If you don't know,the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army is radically militant fundamentalistMoslem.)
10. I have in the last years communicated withseveral U.S. Intelligence community folks who wanted to know where I wasgetting my 'intel'. They refused to believe that it was from Catholicprophecy. That's no exaggeration.
11. You can read many more details in TTT.
12. None of the members of my old Ukrainian parishlaugh at my prognostications any more, after the advance call of the fallof the Soviet Union - six years in advance - based upon the sameprophecies presented here.
