Sorry, the "restrainer" is not from the Douay-Rheims, bad habit citing that. I mean "what withholdeth." Maybe this has already been interpreted to the satisfaction of most Catholics, and it is the papacy or something else?

Yes, Raoul, that which "withholdeth" is the papacy according to Cardinal Manning in his 4 Lectures on "The Present Crisis of the Holy See, tested by prophecy", by Fr. Herman Bernard Kramer in his work on the Apocalypse The Book of Destiny (see chapter 12) and also by Rev. E. Sylvester Berry in The Apocalypse of St. John.  This prophecy was determined by these prelates from the writings of the Fathers. Fr. H.B. Kramer cites his sources.

According to many others that which "withholdeth" is the Roman Empire or the Christian Kings.  It could be both of these things and the papacy at once.  It definitely seems that the Holy See either needs a temporal defender or needs to bravely face open and violent persecution from a world that hates Our Lord.  Then again, the temporal defenders of the Church work at the sufferance of the Roman Pontiff, yet they also secure his ability to project his influence across the world effectively.  The two seem to need one another.  The Church needs laymen to defend her interests in the courts and cities of the world.  Likewise, laymen need the Church to know what to do in the first place.  I could see an argument for either the Pope or a universal peace sustained by the hegemony of Catholic rulers being that which "withholdeth."

In foreknowledge and providence. God sets both spiritual and temporal rulers according to the state of nations and the world.

   

Job 34:30

"Who maketh a man that is a hypocrite to reign for the sins of the people?"




Daniel 3:31-32

"Wherefore all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment:  And thou hast delivered us into the hands of our enemies that are unjust, and most wicked, and prevaricators, and to a king unjust, and most wicked beyond all that are upon the earth."


The Most High has set a line of sacred monarchs and we know from various prophecies (including to Marie Julie Jahenney), eventually the French Monarchy will be restored concomitant with the age of peace and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart.

I find the following revelations illuminating, but they are for your own discernment:

Saint Francisco de Paola of Italy (1416-1507), founder of the order of Minim friars, was a miracle worker whose spiritual graces included prophecy. In that wise, St. Francis foretold the rise of a great Christian military leader out of Italy sometime in the future:

    "The great leader of the holy militia of the Holy Spirit shall overcome the world, and shall possess the earth so completely that no king or lord shall be able to exist, except that he belongs to the sacred host of the Holy Ghost. These devout men shall wear on their breasts, and much more within their hearts, the sign of the living God, namely, the Cross.

    "The first members of this holy order shall be natives of the city where iniquity, vice and sin abound. However, they shall be converted from evil to good; from rebels against God they shall become most fervent and most faithful in His divine service. That city shall be cherished by God and by the Great Monarch, the elect and the beloved of the Most High Lord. For the sake of that place all holy souls who have done penance in it shall pray in the sight of God for that city and its inhabitants. When the time shall come of the immense and most right justice of the Holy Spirit, His Divine Majesty wills that such city become converted to God, and that many of its citizens follow the great prince of the holy army. The first person that will openly wear the sign of the living God shall belong to that city, because he will through a letter be commanded by a holy hermit to have it impressed upon his heart and to wear it externally on his breast.

    "That man will begin to meditate on the secrets of God, about the long visitation which the Holy Spirit will make and the dominion that he will exercise over the world through the holy militia. O! happy man, who shall receive from the Most High the greatest privileges! He will interpret the hidden secrets of the Holy Ghost, and he shall often excite the admiration of men by his revealed knowledge of the internal secrets of their hearts. Rejoice, my Lord, because that Prince above other princes, and King over other kings, will hold you in the greatest veneration, and after having been crowned with three most admirable crowns, will exalt that city, will declare it free, and the seat of the Empire, and it shall become one of the first cities in the world...

    "He shall be a first-born son; in his childhood he will be like a saint; in his youth, a great sinner; then he will be converted entirely to God and will do great penance; his sins will be forgiven him, and he will become a great saint.

    "He shall be a great captain and prince of holy men, who shall be called "the holy Cross-bearers of Jesus Christ," with whom he shall destroy the Mahometan sect and the rest of the infidels. He shall annihilate all the heresies and tyrannies of the world. He shall reform the church of God by means of his followers, who shall be the best men upon earth in holiness, in arms, in science, and in every virtue, because such is the will of the Most High. They shall obtain the dominion of the whole world, both temporal and spiritual, and they shall support the Church of God until the end of time.

    "God almighty shall exalt a very poor man of the blood of Emperor Constantine, son of St. Helena, and of the seed of Pepin, who shall on his breast wear a red Cross. Through the power of the Most High he shall confound the tyrants, the heretics, and infidels. He will gather a grand army, and the angels shall fight for them; they shall kill all God’s enemies.

    "From the beginning of the world, after the creation of man, and to the end of human generations, there have been and there shall be seen wonderful events upon the earth. Four hundred years shall not pass when his Divine Majesty shall visit the world with a new religious order much needed, which shall effect more good among men than all other religious institutions combined. This religious order shall be the last and the best in the Church; it shall proceed with arms, with prayer, and with hospitality. Woe to tyrants, to heretics, and to infidels, to whom no pity shall be shown, because such is the will of the most high! An infinite number of wicked men shall perish through the hands of the Cross-bearers, the true servants of Jesus Christ. They shall act like good husbandmen when they extirpate noxious weeds and prickly thistles from the wheat field. Those holy servants of God shall purify the earth with the deaths of innumerable wicked men.

    "How spiritually blind are those persons who, having no thought about things of God, fix their end in earthly objects. Wretched men! by far worse than the very beasts which are guided by their sense, because they cannot reason, they become brutalized. Hence they shall ever be in confusion. Let, therefore, the princes of this world be prepared for the greatest scourges to fall upon them. But from whom? First from heretics and infidels, then from the holy and most faithful Cross-bearers elected by the Most High, who, not succeeding in converting the heretics with science, shall have to make vigorous use of their arms. Many cities and villages shall be in ruins, with the deaths of an innumerable quantity of bad and good men. The infidels also shall fight against Christians and heretics, sacking, destroying, and killing the largest portion of Christians. Lastly, the army, styled "of the Church," namely, the holy Cross-bearers, shall move, not against Christians or Christianity, but against those infidels in pagan countries, and they shall conquer all those kingdoms with the death of a very great number of infidels. After this they shall turn their victorious arms against bad Christians, and destroy all the rebels against Jesus Christ.

     

    These holy Cross-bearers shall reign and dominate holily over the world until the end of time... But when shall this take place? When crosses with the stigmas shall be seen, and the crucifix shall be carried as the standard... This standard will be admired by all good Catholics; but at the beginning it will be derided by bad Christians and by infidels. Their sneers shall, however, be changed into mourning when they shall witness the wonderful victories achieved through it against tyrants, heretics, and infidels... That man (the leader of the Crucifers) will be a great sinner in his youth, but like St. Paul he will be drawn and converted to God. He shall be the founder of a new religious order different from all the others. He shall divide it into three classes, namely:

                    (1) Military knights,

                    (2) Solitary priests,

                    (3) most pious hospitalers.

    This shall be the last religious order of the Church, and it will do more good for our holy religion than all other religious institutes. By force of arms he shall take possession of a great kingdom. He shall destroy the sect of Mahomet, extirpate all tyrants and heresies. He shall bring the world to a more holy mode of life. There will be one fold and one Shepherd. He shall reign until the end of time. In the whole earth there shall be only twelve kings, one emperor, one pope. Rich gentlemen shall be few, but all saints."

St Paola is the most powerful saint no one's ever heard of. He was a huge part of Louis XI's life and helped him die a Christian death. If you read his biography, it took a miracle just to keep him so well hidden for so long. Not unlike how expertly the Great Emperor has been hidden up to now (but not for much longer).

Get ready!  :dwarf:

Could you give some more specific information about this ?  From what line do you think he comes ?  Or are you positing that he must exist due to prophecies and philosophy, etc. ?

The Soviets are at the very gates of WWIII so while I think things are about to get much worse,

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.

Well, I agree Putin is not a "religious conservative" because he is a Russian Orthodox, whose very theology is the antithesis of the fake religious conservatism of the West. This so-called religious conservatism is not orthodox / traditional in any real sense, rather it's a religious posture designed to perpetuate a political expression and policy, hence neo-conservatism. Moreover, I never saw Bush take actions to ban fαɢɢօtry in public places, ban pervert "marriages", nor reprimand people for publicly mocking the Church and blaspheming Christ. However, I have seen him literally holding hands with a despotic leader and oil baron who outlaws any Christian material - Bibles, Crucifixes, Rosaries, etc - in his country (Saudi Arabia). So, INDEED, Bush was/is a fake religious conservative.

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.

Sorry, that sort of proves my point about the Soviet jew-controlled regime that predated Putin, who is the antithesis of Soviet marxism. The Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, but not all of the cronies in power were eradicated at the same time. Putin didn't rise to power until the very late 90s.

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.

So you're conflating a Soviet-era deceiver with Putin and modern day Russia? Again, how is current Russia propagating the cultural Marxism of yore, which is now a massive pathogenic fungus growing out of the U.S., Western Hemisphere and much of Europe? I'm not saying Russia is a Catholic utopia, nor is Putin a saint, but I don't see any of the world's threats and problems stemming from Russian subterfuge. And don't try to mention Ukraine, because the whole problem there is a Western-backed coup, at the behest of Christ-hating jew Victoria Nuland, et al, of a legitimately elected Ukrainian president who rejected inclusion to the parasitic EU, and rather had loyalties to Moscow. And Crimea was long part of Russia - longer than the U.S. has even been a nation - with many ethnic Russians. Moreover, Russia has a treaty allowing their naval fleet there until the year 2042 with a 5 year extension option. Russia has a right to protect its Russian people and interests in Crimea, and protect its energy sources in nearby Russian territories.

He's had living experience in Russia and is shouting at the top of lungs that we are greatly decieved about Russia's true objectives.

I can think of just as many people who lived in Russia that would argue the opposite of what he says...

We are too eager to take in what we see on the news at face value.

I agree, which is why Americans should not watch, nor listen, to any jew-owned Mockingbird mainstream media that has a pathology of spewing lies about Russia and the unfolding crisis in Ukraine. I never take our media liars at face value, nor any value for that matter. It would behoove you to watch this regarding the fake news:

And lets talk about the Ukraine! Let's talk about how Russia is forcing Ukrainians to pay through the nose for gas.

Sorry, but FAIL, for that's only after the U.S./EU installed a jew puppet, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, as prime minister after their coup of a legitimate, freely elected Ukrainian government, however, right before the coup of Ukraine's legit president, Russia gave Ukraine very cheaply priced gas. See here:
http://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/russia-gives-ukraine-cheap-gas-15-billion-in-loans-333852.html

Moreover, Russia has every right to currently impose higher gas prices on a nation who is currently acting as a U.S. proxy for war against Russia.

Learn about modern day mass murder and financial corruption by a triple Ukrainian-Israeli-Cypriot citizen, who is also a bankster and fracker, and his cohorts in genocide - Joe Biden, Biden's son, and ex-Israeli Defense Force mercenaries. http://www.realjewnews.com/?p=970

Let's talk about how even the west is so thoroughly Marxist that all of these conflicts amount to petrushkas on the world stage. Do we really have to go into detail about Obama? If you want to tell me he doesn't have traceable communist connections

I know.. which is why I previously said that Russia's errors have spread to America. The anti-Christ political system and cultural Marxism of the U.S. is systemic, and the growing police state and surveillance against Americans is another symptom. But you're wrong about Obama being a Russian puppet, rather he is a puppet for the ѕуηαgσgυє, Saudi Arabia, Military Industrial Complex, and a host of central banks including The Fed, Bank of England and Bank of International Settlements (BIS). Educate yourself on why Obama criminally spearheaded an attack against Libya, and you will see how he's a puppet for the BIS.

You're preaching to the choir about Obama, fαℓѕє fℓαgs, victimology , etc.

what is socialism if not the go-to synthesis of the Soviet nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr

The former Soviet Union was a victim of the "socialism" (Marxism) of which you speak, not the creator of it. This Marxist socialism is essentially a political expression of anti-Christ jewry, but disguised as a political movement & economic ideology that also effects the goyim to be in a servitude to the state (usurped by Christ-hating jews). This parallels the teachings of the тαℓмυd that jews are superior to non-jews, and non-jews only exist to serve jews - the "chosen ones". Capitalism is also a false dichotomy to Marxism, for Wall St. and The Fed are saturated with jews who effect a corporate plutocracy over a nation, while brainwashing the herd that they live in a "democracy" and "free economic system". The jews establish themselves in all angles to effect their anti-Christ agenda and hegemony over the world.

I think you're mistaken if you believe that once the Jews weren't as publically associated with the movement, the ship would right itself for the most part.

Majority of the people in the Soviet government were not jews anyway, at least after the Revolution, but Marxism, which was founded and pioneered disproportionately by jews, was all that these people knew many decades afterwards, up until 1991. It was their identity and creed (as intended), but when the Soviet system collapsed, many people realized the slavery of Marxism and the jews who were behind its pathology.

They [jews] become formidable only when attached to other causes.

That's what jews do... like ticks, they attack themselves to hosts. They use and drain the host until it's destroyed. It's parasitism. They manipulate the host for their (jews) own good.

Right now the strong man is Soviet Russia. Tie him up, and the rest will crumble. It might be the reason why the Fatima message didn't have a whole lot to say about Jews and everything to do with the consecration of Russia.

Russia's errors have already spread, hence Our Lady of Fatima's warning has come to fruition. It's called (not necessarily in chronological order of history): the formation of the Soviet Union.....Soviet satellite nations of eastern Europe falling under Marxism.....the Korean and Vietnam Wars.....China falling under Marxism.....the Cold War.....Marxist conflicts in central America such as Honduras & Nicaragua..... and cultural Marxism and social & political statism (that is Marxist-centric) heavily infiltrating the U.S. Such examples: Catholics on DoD's "domestic extremist" list.....Systemic anti-Christ agenda (promotion of jewry while anything Christian is censored, attacked, ridiculed, etc).....TSA molesting people at airports.....DHS.....NSA spying.....Attempts to take away our guns.....Abortion.....fαɢɢօt Mafia spreading its perversions.....Obama"care".....Contrived system to put more people on food stamps - make people more dependent on govt'.... etc. etc. However, Our Lady never gave a definitive time frame on how long it would last. "By their fruits, you shall know them." Again, in current times, Russia, in important ways, has been the antithesis of spreading errors that now permeate the U.S./West.

You have not given any evidence of Russia being the source of the world's ills. Your views are based on prejudice, speculation and confirmation bias, and you've probably invested much of your identity into this view on "Soviet Russia", so it will probably be very hard for you to shed yourself of this thinking.

Thanks to the OP for an insightful post! Most of those who I know who are really "into" the Great Monarch, were led in that direction by Yves DuPont. One thing that always bothered me about DuPont is that he egregiously plaguerized the work of Immanuel Velokofsky in regard to catastrophic geology, without giving him credit.
