Considering that hundreds of saints have written prophesies about this figure, I wouldn't call them false prophesies as it would be akin to calling all those saints liars.

That's what I thought as well but, I'm not too familiar with the subject myself.

Does anyone have any online resources about the Monarch? Also, how does the coming of the Monarch align with the time frame of the last days given in the Bible?

Thanks.

In terms of the Bible I believe there was a Saint who compared the churches in Apocalypse Chapter 2 to different time periods in the Church. (ie: The Church at Sardis is from 1517-the time of the great monarch.)

Here is the full information it is by Ven. Bartholomew Holzauser:

Interpretatio Apocalypsis usque ad cap. XV, v. 5, 1784, Bamberg. It includes the seven ages of the Church:
Ephesus: status seminativus or the first age of the Church, from Christ and the Apostles to Pope Linus and Emperor Nero.
Smyrna: status irrigativus or the second age of the Church, the days of persecution.
Pergamum: status illuminativus or the third age of the Church, from Pope Sylvester to Leo III.
Thyatira: status pacifitcus or the fourth age of the Church from Leo III to Leo X.
Sardis: status afflictionis et purgativus or the fifth age of the Church, from Leo X to a strong ruler or grand monarch and a Holy Pope.
Philadelphia: status consolationis of the sixth age of the Church, from that Holy Pope to the rise of Antichrist.
Laodicea: status desolationis are the seventh and last age of the Church, from the rise of the Antichrist to the Second Comming.
