Thank you for posting this Raoul.  And thank you for confirming my instinct about the 'Great Monarch' prophecies.  

But I have gone one step further than you, and have now decided to discount all prophecies which refer to a restoration of the Church and Christendom.  Just like the 'Great Monarch', the 'Restoration' prophecies could reflect a great deal of wishful thinking.  And they could also be a ploy of Satan, to distract Catholics from what is really going on, which is that Vatican II is the 'revolt' warned about by St Paul in 2Thessalonians and all that implies  

According to the Church Fathers, the Antichrist will claim to be a man of God and a bringer of peace who will unite all the nations and put an end to conflict. Could the 'Restoration' prophecies be softening up Catholics to accept him? It is the same question you asked of the 'Great Monarch' prophecies.

I personally know a number of Trads who are convinced that the rise of the Antichrist is far away in some distant future.  They cite the 'Great Monarch' prophecies and the 'Restoration' prophecies as evidence of this, or even proof of this.  But if Vatican II is the 'revolt'  and the 'one who holds' who has to be 'taken out of the way' refers to the Pope, then it is clear where we are.  There will be no restoration before the Parousia.

Pere, I'm mostly using deduction from the various prophecies. I may have some special knowledge on the subject but it's not an iron clad "Vision from God" or the like. Time will tell! The Soviets are at the very gates of WWIII so while I think things are about to get much worse, the Monarch is at the very least a ray(Rey?) of hope and something positive to latch onto. He will not use his crown to glorify himself, but to fully restore the Church and to glorify God. That is, if the volumes of prophecy regarding him are anywhere close to the truth.

It's my belief he won't be humanly traceable until it's time for him to make an entrance. If Our Lady is keeping him hidden, it's fruitless to try weed him out before his time. It is after all for his own protection. That also means he won't have anything in the way of a recognized genealogy. Remember, he will be "treated like a servant" and will be "very poor!" Probably the only way to figure it out would be a blood test or by some miracle there's a discovered missing link in his family tree.

Sorry I couldn't provide you with more detail!

I've read your comments about the "Soviets" on several threads. Current Russia is the antithesis of the Bolshevik jew-founded Soviet regime, which slaughtered 10s of millions of Christians. The errors of Russia have now immersed the U.S. and much of the EU, including France, but that's not to say the Crown of Lilies will not rise out of France. I believe he will and help establish the Social Reign of Christ, but right now, France and almost all of the West are judaized, rotten warmongers and thieves. Putin, on the other hand, saved Syria from falling completely to the prey of U.S.-British, Israeli and Saudi-backed forces known as al-Nusra Front & FSA and "ISIS", thus he has currently saved much of the minority Christian population from being pillaged to death in Syria. Furthermore, Putin has banned pervert (fag) marriages, public display of same perversions and propaganda; and Putin has criminalized any public mockery of the Church. That's not the "errors of Russia". Just look at the U.S and EU countries to see the diabolical.

Putin is no more a religious conservative than Bush was. They both make a show of it for political purposes. The Soviet Union never went away, it only went Machiavellian on us.

KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn's work, starting in the 1960's has made claims and predictions about Russia's moves that have been startlingly accurate over the years. One man went so far as to list out all his predictions and lined them up with what had transpired up to through the 90's and found his accuracy well in the 90's, fittingly.  

Another interesting source is Yuri Bezmenov (Tomas Schuman) who defected to Canada in the 70's and who became something of a traveling lecturer, wrote a book, made some videos in the 80's and promptly disappeared.

A great blog for this is https://thecontemplativeobserver.wordpress.com

At any rate, Putin is not Catholic. He's not a king either, more like an "elected" dictator. Of course he knows very well how low the west has fallen... the soviets engineered a great deal of it! He will use his rhetoric to fool people into believing Russia is some bastion of conservative Christian ideals, all the while Russia maintains their gold medal status in abortion rates, twice the murder rate than that of the continental US, vast crime networks, open mob warfare, convenient assassination of dissenters (Litvinenko for one), Poland's entire resistance to the EU going down in flames on Russian soil, etc...

Speaking of Litvinenko, do you remember the element used to kill him? Polonium-210. Arafat was found to have elevated levels found on his belongings after testing a few years back and it was one of the radiactive elements found in the remains of Turkish president Turgut Ozal upon his exhumation. The soviets are in complete control of the world situation, we're just puppets.

Gorbachev by the way remains an avowed Leninist to this day and a big proponent of the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr to boot. He named dropped St Francis ("Spirit of Assisi", Pope "Francis" coincidence?) to Reagan and Reagan thought he must be some closeted Christian, only years later did he finally quash that implication. Glasnost was a complete ruse.

The west has been completely demoralized. You'll get no argument from me there. We can't even expect men and women to use separate restrooms! We are ripe for the taking and will suffer immensely before it gets better for us. France despite it's secularization, still has social structures in place that the US doesn't. Shops are closed on Sundays, it's illegal to wear a burka, and thanks to the Briand-Ceretti Agreement, the French president can actually nominate bishops for the Pope's approval. When you factor in her patron saints, it becomes even more clear that God had intended France for greater things. To start, you had St. Mary Magdalene with the Holy Myrrh-bearers, and St. Lazarus arriving on her southern shore. St. Martin of Tours, whose act of tearing his military cloak in order to clothe a beggar, laid the etymological basis for the word chapel and chaplain today (cappella means little cape in Latin). St Remi was the saint who baptized Clovis and whose hometown became the site of kingly coronations. Then of course there's Joan of Arc. It may be hard to see due to her present state, but France is destined for incredible things yet!
