Hidden Prophecy – The Beginning
Chapter One
French-Swiss Alps, 762 AD
Nightfall had firmly settled over the Saint Ada
Monastery. Tucked underneath
snow-capped mountains and cooled by frequent alpine breezes, the small and
quaint monastery was home to Sister Elizabeth of Sion, formally Marie
Collette.
From a young age, Marie Collette seemed unfazed
with her family’s fortune. Rather, she
was more intrigued with her family’s ties with the regal yet benevolent Bishop
of Sion, His Excellency, the Right Reverend Jean Rotten. The bishop had established an aggressive
network of charities serving several underprivileged villages within his
otherwise affluent diocese. Marie’s
father, Pierre Collette, was a wealthy tradesman in Sion and a private
contributor to the bishop’s charity work.
He and the bishop were friends from grade school and their bond grew
stronger through the years even though their lives had taken such different
paths. The Collette family had kept
their contributions secret to avoid any publicity and to safeguard the family
interests from certain circles in Sion that did not look with much favor on the
bishop’s work. One would be hard pressed
to talk badly of the Collette family for they were known not only for their
integrity in commerce but also for their overall demeanor. During Christmas the entire family would
stand in the cold temperatures outside of their shop distributing complementary
assortments of delicacies to all passers-by.
Little Marie always took it upon herself to give more than the usual
allotment to families that were of lesser means. Marie would find her way to
various dwellings and witness first hand the difficult living conditions that
children encountered who lived on or below the poverty line. Every time she would leave such areas, she
felt an even strong love for her father because of the substantial donations he
was making to these underprivileged families.
Her admiration and respect for Bishop Rotten also grew. Marie began to identify herself closely with
the charitable work of the Church. The
poor housing conditions, foul odors and occasional grunts by intoxicated men
where a far cry from what she was accustomed to. These contrasts created internal struggles
and she would wrestle many times with her own conscious. Marie slowly came to realize that genuinely
helping others required more than just acts of charity. It required a life commitment.
Pierre Collette had financed a private
education for his daughter, something rare for young women during this
time. Throughout her adolescent and teen
years, Marie had gracefully developed into a woman of enduring compassion and
intellect. She had a radiant personality
and along with her attractive exterior features, Marie was courted by many men.
She had such unintended control of over them however that only the most daring
tried to court her. Yet one
disappointment after the other would prevail because she simply was not
interested in giving her life to just one man.
The disappointment was widespread but none more so than for her father
Pierre. Marie was his only daughter of
three children and she had a special place in his heart. He had hoped that she would marry well and
become a respected member of both French and Swiss societies. The memories of her boasting of how she would
become the first female physician of Sion always brought a smile to his
face. She was strong willed, even
stubborn giving her father some comfort in knowing that she would not be easily
swayed or taken advantage of. Pierre
Collette did not adhere much to the norms of his time however he was careful
not to subject Marie to any public scrutiny on the one hand yet he wanted to
afford her the opportunity to chase her dreams. Even on the matter of pre-arranged
marriages, he was adamant his daughter would have the exclusive choice of
picking her husband. He was not able
however to see that his daughter was far removed from such affairs. He attributed the lack of a son in law as a
result of Marie’s high standards in seeking someone with the highest of moral
standards. Pierre figured that his
daughter had not found the right person yet.
Little did he know, that there was another institution she sought to
marry; the church.
Following Bishop Rotten’s example, Marie had
decided to give her life to the one institution that sought to make a
difference in the lives of many. Her
father was nearly devastated when he first heard of the news that Marie had
wanted to become a nun. He was at first
overwhelmed with guilt for he felt that he bared some if not all of the
responsibility for Marie making such a choice for her life. He never would have
thought that his involvement with the bishop’s charity work would have such an
impact on his daughter.
‘This is the will of God and there is nothing
that neither you nor I can do to change the course that our Lord has chartered
for Marie my dear friend’. Bishop Rotten
tried to console his friend as best he could.
It would take much more persuasion to make any significant inroads with
his completely distraught friend.
‘Do you not remember during her childhood years
how she shared all of her possessions; allowed herself to be taken advantage of
by those too blind to see her sincere benevolence? Indeed she would have made a wonderful physician
and a loving wife but she will heal the souls of so many more and her marriage
to the Church is equal if not more divine in nature. Be at ease my friend, you have done well and
most of all be humbled by what you and your family have given to this struggling
world’.
Pierre Collette would remain still and silent
for several minutes long after each discussion with his friend. He knew the bishop was sincerely concerned
about his family’s well being.
‘I must accept her choice with humility and
grace’. She will be remembered for doing
great things and for this I am certain.
God, I pray that you watch over her’.
Pierre began to accept his beloved daughter’s choice.
The years had passed and Sister Elizabeth had
gracefully aged into a pious and merciful servant of God. Saint Ada Monastery ran an open clinic
several days out of the week and many of the region’s sick would make their way
to the monastery to be tended to. Sister
Elizabeth would spend countless hours counseling mothers on how to raise their
children spiritually and how to treat various illnesses. She strongly believed that God through the
Holy Spirit had given man the capacity to overcome their misfortunes and
miseries and to prevent harm from impairing both body and soul. The power of prayer and the presence of the
Holy Spirit that was everywhere was what man needed to reach out in order to
receive all of its glory. To most of the visitors at the monastery, she was a
visionary and someone who helped prepare them for their future. Her teachings of empowerment through faith
greatly differed from the normal conceptions of unconditional acceptance. Sister Elizabeth prayed that she be put into
a situation that would further help man prepare for the future. Years would pass and her prayers began to
slowly materialize as she began to see events that had not yet occurred. Visions of seemingly harmless things slowly
lead to bigger ones that would trouble those who lived in the region and
beyond. Sister Elizabeth’s visions were
gradually becoming a precursor to something bigger and vastly important.
The long winters and difficult monastic life
began to slowly take its toll on her physical well being. The difficult daily regiment began to wear
her down however her visions were becoming clearer. Sister Elizabeth was more confined to her
cell and her public appearances were becoming fewer and fewer. Although she was becoming frail, this did not
discourage villagers from flocking to the monastery to receive her blessing and
to hear her prophetic teachings and more importantly her advice on how to
overcome major difficulties. With public
appearances rare, young nuns would spend hours in her cell writing down her
thoughts, prayers and consultations and soon daily readings became a common
occurrence at the monastery with women and children filling the monastery
grounds in anticipation.
On
one particularly cold winter night, Sister Elizabeth did not have a good
sleep. She began to experience a
revelation like none other before. It
was so powerful and traumatic that she woke into a cold sweat and quickly
sprung to her feet with effortless agility as if she was once again a
teenager. A small shining light had
beamed through the window causing a complete white flash to blind her for
several seconds in her dark cell. The
brightness was so powerful that Sister Elizabeth was unable to open her eyes
even after burying her head in her hands.
For the first time in many years her body felt completely warm and
without any aches or pain as she mechanically walked towards the window. The light began to slowly dim in her cell as
the shadow of an angel figure began to transcend on the wall. A calming voice
spoke to her not to be frightened and that she had been chosen to receive one
of the most important prophecies ever relayed to man from God. Sister Elizabeth began walking closer to the
wall reaching her hand out as if to touch it.
Instantly the room lit once again with an even more powerful force of
light accompanied with a strong gust of chilling wind even though the window
was shut. She immediately fell to her
knees with head down.
‘I have come to answer your prayers and you
question my intentions?
‘Forgive me for my moment of weakness’ she
replied with a slight tremor in her voice.
‘You have been a faithful servant all of your
life and God indeed loves you. Not once
did you seek to capitalize on the weakness of so many who have come to
you. Others may have sought to profit
from this but you remained faithful and honorable and this is why so many flock
to you. They come and listen with their
hearts and because of this you have been chosen to receive the words of a
prophecy that in due time will help man in his darkest hour to escape the
clutches of the antichrist. Are you
willing to answer this call and help carry out the will of God? Remember that much of what you are about to
hear and therefore write will be completely incomprehensible to you. Yet you must remained focus and write exactly
what you being told. Hundreds and
hundreds of years will pass before man sets eyes on this. This is being written in their language, for
their times’.
Without lifting her head she nodded in
acceptance. The shadow continued: ‘You
will not leave this cell for several days but you will not tire nor will you require
any food or water as the Holy Spirit shall provide for you. No one else shall enter your cell as only you
are to bear witness to what you are about to receive. The others will worry about your well-being
but you must send them away. Tell them
to have faith in you and they shall obey’.
Sister
Elizabeth was instructed to walk over to her small desk and pull a blank scroll
from the adjacent straw basket that had many neatly stacked scrolls in it. Without saying a word, she waited patiently
for her instructions which came when the light in the room rescinded and the
image on the wall now hovered over her desk creating a warm overhead
light. The prophecy she was about to
receive was going to be spread across various secret locations. Once it was complete, only those who will be
chosen to protect and to execute it shall be allowed to know its content. Parts of it may be known to some but not to
others.
The antichrist will arise by the actions of man
and therefore the prophecy must never be known to the world before its
time. If it were to fall into the hands
of such dark forces, mankind would tragically come to a complete end. The prophecy therefore had to remain hidden
and as such would simply be known as the Hidden Prophecy.
Sister Elizabeth was told of the first persons
who would read the Hidden Prophecy. They
were none other than Charlemagne, Emperor of the Roman Empire, the Byzantine
Empress Irene of Athens and Pope Leo III.
Upon hearing the names of these three most powerful people, she realized
that God indeed had chosen her for something important. Not once did she raise a question or react
awkwardly to the words she was receiving.
Her true purpose in life was at hand.
She was saddened by the fact that man would charter on a course in
history to manipulate God’s will. How
could it be that man would use his privilege of free will to undermine the very
creation of which he is the beneficiary of?
She would struggle to understand when asking herself this question. Yet God would not leave his creation to
simply fend for itself even if there are those who were determined to destroy
it. The Hidden Prophesy was yet another
example of God’s insistence that man could reverse the tide of darkness.
During the long strenuous hours of writing the
prophecy, Sister Elizabeth would deeply pray over the scrolls for the loss of
life and for the destruction that the world was to witness. Her tears would run down her face and drip
onto the scrolls causing the ink to run.
Closing her eyes to deeply pray, she would open them to see that the
scrolls were dry, unscathed and in the same condition. Nothing it seemed was going to stand in the
way of the prophecy from being completed.
The Hidden Prophecy was to be different from
all others in that it was not only going to describe future events but it was
also to prescribe how man would be able to save himself from complete self
inflicted annihilation. It was also in
some respects going to be a living prophecy in that others would follow in the
coming centuries expanding on many of the premises found in the Hidden
Prophecy. The tenants of the Greek,
Roman and Germanic cultures are bound to slowly perish over time. The ideals that laid the foundations of
western civilization and its development would be challenged and overrun by
those that oppose free will and personal freedom. In the last three centuries before the final
countdown, a wave of indoctrinated fatalism intertwined in the Islamic faith
will unleash a wrath of distorted beliefs in absolutism with zero tolerance for
dissent and compromise. The world will come to know of several materializations
of the antichrist that will plunge much of the world into acts of death and
destruction. One such materialization
will rise from the banks of the Danube and his actions will exceed the level of
calamity as never seen before. He will
be defeated only to give rise to the next materialization of the antichrist
that will come from the East and whose actions shall surpass the level of
destruction of the previous one. This
antichrist however will only be defeated if the Hidden Prophecy is never found
and executed. A third world war will be
the precursor to the greatest war of all with the antichrist at its core. The Battle of Armageddon will come. On the one side shall stand nations that
follow the Word of the Lord and who desperately seek to hold onto the
traditions of Hellenism, multiculturalism and diversity. On the other side shall stand nations that
adhere to the teachings of the Prophet Mohammad but who have slowly watered
away the inclusion of the once rich tradition of openness and inquiry that were
not only rooted in the Hellenistic school of thought and compatible to original
Islamic discourse. The bridges between
these two civilizations will slowly disintegrate over the centuries with
Hellenism, a common thread in both; coming under constant attack predominately
from the East but not exclusively. The
rise of fatalism and fundamental indoctrination in the East, a complete
perversion of Islamic teachings that is, will reach a climax pitting East
versus West. The antichrist shall find
fertile ground to rally the East around him as they will have ample proof
throughout history of western aggression.
The Persians shall lead the charge against the West as their animosity
towards the West and vise versa shall reach a point of no return. Great technological breakthroughs in the
East, liberal rationalization in the West will create a battlefield of equally
matched adversaries. The antichrist will
unite all Islamic factions under one banner but not by reaching theological
consensus in competing Islamic interpretation, but rather from a common
political motive. Hostility, animosity
and aggression will seep their way into the teachings of a faith that otherwise
preach an obedience towards God. Only
the advent of individual free will can counter the quest for world governance
and dominance. It shall remain to be
seen however if such men of free will indeed rise in these deceived
nations.
Prior to the Battle of Armageddon, not all
nations will participate in the conflict between East and West. There are those in the West who will remain
idle in this great divide for fear of war and destruction reaching their own
lands while others will try to profit from the mutual destruction between the
two warring factions. Nations that are
neither Christian nor Muslim will be courted by both in order to gain favor and
form alliances. These nations however
will restrain from making outright allegiances. It is only when they will fall
under the threat themselves of a blanketed quest for world domination that they
will be forced to chose. The world
nevertheless will be covered with darkness and the smell of carnage shall linger
for decades as isolated acts of brutality will serve as a constant reminder of
the evil faced by men of free will.
The latest antichrist will not be born into the
world but rather will be the generic creation of man’s doing. The thirst for world governance will spur the
advent of the belief that only under one true religion and system of belief can
the world live in harmony. This will be
the basis of the East’s motivation to create a human being through genetic reproduction
to meet this end. Yet not known to the
initiators of this grand plan is that the Dark One shall attempt to usurp all
of the capacities of this perfect creation and from it become the antichrist
not born but rather created; not swayed but rather programmed, not liked but
always feared.
The
prophecy explains that only through true love, compassion and individual
freedom can the world be saved. As there
is no greater love on earth then between that of a woman and a man, the
prophecy further goes on to state that only when two particular individuals
with historical significance deriving from their ancestral roots connect their
genuine love, can another true renaissance of Hellenism be brought to the
forefront on the world stage. The
Anointed One as the woman shall come to be known shall be the beam that
distributes to the world the long lost philosophies, technologies and ideals of
a forgotten Hellenism. The man that she
must carefully choose to stand by her side and to consecrate the most ultimate
of love will guide and support her in this most challenging endeavor. The Chosen One is therefore the one who must
forfeit everything including his very life if necessary. Both the Anointed One and the Chosen One
will have their ancestral roots traceable back to both Charlemagne and Empress
Irene of Athens. These two historical
figures dared to love one another in secret not only for the good of empire but
also to ensure that the foundations of western society would be safeguarded
from external attacks. So too must the
Anointed One and Chosen One risk it all for their ultimate love in order to
save mankind itself. If the Anointed One
fails to make the right selection of the Chosen One, one of three tragic events
will occur. Firstly, the antichrist
shall be victorious and the entire human race shall kneel before it. The second scenario entails that the
antichrist is destroyed but not before it destroys the entire world. Lastly, the antichrist may be defeated but
not entirely destroyed and thus still plaguing mankind for at least another one
thousand years.
After several days of Sister Elizabeth being
confined to her cell and with nearly the entire convent banging outside her
door demanding to enter and confirm that she was well, Sister Elizabeth
unlocked the door and allowed the abyss and two other senior nuns to enter her
cell. They were all in shock to see her
glow with such radiance and in good physical condition even though no food had
been taken by her for days. She seemed
to be in a complete state of tranquility and nothing that the other nuns said
or did seemed to distract her attention from looking out the window. Sister Elizabeth would whisper from time to
time the word “hope” nodding her head as if engaged in some discussion with someone
and being in full agreement. She asked
that all the other nuns repeat the word ‘hope’ much to their dismay holding
their hands in the process. Little did
they know that they were being told to recite the name “Hope”. The nuns could not understand why Sister
Elizabeth locked herself in her cell.
They attributed this as her own peculiar way of penance and for showing
her undivided love for God. Hope they
whispered to themselves was what all men should live with. The sisters all prayed that evening for hope.
The image that dictated the Hidden Prophecy to
Sister Elizabeth would reappear many times over the years. The details and accounts were long and very
detailed. Thirty years would need to
pass before the prophecy was complete.
When done, Sister Elizabeth was ready to join God in Heaven as she knew
that her work was done and purpose complete.
On the first day of spring in 833A.D, Sister Elizabeth fell into an
eternal sleep. No one would sit at her
desk again as her cell became a special place of homage for visitors to the
monastery. Those who were blessed to
have met her and to have been guided by her prayers and direction dedicated a
part if not all of their lives to her.
She had impacted the lives of so many before she began to write the
Hidden Prophecy. It remained to be seen
if history would pay a greater level of respect to this pious nun who
sacrificed over thirty years of her remaining life to write the Hidden
Prophecy.
Chapter Two
In the Persian theocratic state during the
1980’s, the Ayatollah Khomeini felt his years slipping away. His dream of being accepted by the entire
Muslim world as the 13th Imam would not come to be. Although disappointed by the shortcoming of
his personal ambition, the ultimate goal however of Islamic world supremacy
which fueled his ambitions in the first place could not be compromised. The Ayatollah had a master plan that would
take decades to bring to fruition and required massive economic and scientific
risks. His plan would reach to all four corners of the world and not just in
his homeland of Persia. While still in
exile in France during the nineteen seventies, he had gathered his closest
confidants and instructed them to recruit young Muslim men who were dedicated
in studying genetics and bio-engineering.
Particular attention was paid to recruiting men from nations that were
under the heavy thumb of western imperialism and therefore would be more
susceptible to his more fundamentalist views of Jihad. These young academics would receive large
underground financial support to advance their educational training at the best
universities in both East and West. In
the United Sates alone, some two hundred men had steadily reached the highest
levels of prominence at the most prestigious universities heading up various
research departments. These men were
trained to conceal their interior motives from the all welcoming but
unsuspecting Americans. Simultaneously,
these scientists and academics would attend privately funded mosques that
helped finance Islamic outreach learning centers that preached the more
radicalized views of the Ayatollah.
Inner cities in major western countries and in particular poor regions
in the United States were fertile ground for conversion and indoctrination. The promise of self reliance fueled many and
over the years the number of dynamic cells of educated and radicalized American
Muslims swelled with many reaching prominent positions of power in government
and business as well. America’s openness
and system of merit allowed for the highly dedicated and disciplined to excel
and these men were both. In the land of
his most dreaded adversary, the Ayatollah was slowly planting the seeds of a
world revolution.
When the Ayatollah ascended to power in Persia
by overthrowing the Shah with mass public support, he immediately increased the
financial support ten-fold creating an even larger web of academic
jihadists. By this time, most of the
first scientists had reached prominent positions in academia and many of them
were relocated to Teheran in order to begin consultations with the Ayatollah of
just how they were going to clone the future Islamic leader. The Ayatollah instructed his scientists of
the characteristic traits their leader should have and this guided the latter
to focus specifically on whose DNA composition they should retrieve. The ground work was well underway; the
Ayatollah’s dream was finally set into motion.
He knew that he would not live to see his dream become a reality as that
was going to require years if not decades to materialize. The science was not there quite yet either
but he was confident that the newer generation of scientists were going to make
the necessary discoveries and breakthroughs.
He found comfort however in the belief that the Muslim world was going
to one day accept his brand of Islam and united under the supreme leader. Even Christians, Buddhists, Hindus and other
religious groups he believed would someday come to realize that Islam, and his
interpretations of it, is the only true salvation for the world guaranteeing
world harmony. The supreme leader will
be the wisest, most benevolent and caring figure ever to walk on earth and the
Ayatollah was all but humbled even though the idea was entirely his that this
creation would be in his image.
Long after the death of the Ayatollah, a second
and third wave of scientists began to relocate to Iran. A vast collection of DNA and other genetic
material from major Islamic leaders was being collected in complete secrecy. Graves throughout all of Arabia were dug up
and the smallest of samples were taken from great Muslim leaders and warriors
alike. From the likes of Abu Bakr who
was the first Caliph of Islam after the death of the Prophet Mohammad to Musa
bin Nusair and Torgrul, the founder of the Seljuk Dynasty, Islamic leaders known
for their intellect and tenacity were especially sought after. More current leaders were the likes of
Muhammad Ahmad and just recently were the leaders of the Arab Spring. The Arab Spring which began in the year 2010
and lasted for nearly a decade was supposedly the process of democratization in
the Middle East and in North African Islamic countries. Yet many historians would argue today that it
was a well orchestrated façade to elevate supposedly moderate Islamic parties
who genuinely boasted vast popular support to power. As it turned out, these
new governments were not so moderate after all and behind the rhetoric of
moderation stood their true hidden agendas if installing fundamentalist Islamic
regimes. Any moderate voices were
quickly quieted. The West had helped
finance and in many instances aided the ‘revolt’ militarily in exchange to
secure that their corporations would have an even larger share of the natural
resources. The utility of the old
standing dictators in these countries had all but expired and it was time for a
change. Banking on the hopes of
desperate Muslims yearning for freedom and for a better life, the West fell
into a trap of needing to deliver to the Muslim masses while safeguarding their
own vital interests. Yet the authoritarian
regimes of other Islamic countries whose ties with the West and in particular
with the United States remained lopsided in favor of the latter witnessed
little if any civil unrest. The regimes
of Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Qatar remained virtually unscathed during this
time. Some of the leaders in the newly
liberated nations were of the highest caliber in terms of governance and
leadership. Well indoctrinated in the
Islam of the Ayatollah, militarily trained and astute in mind and media
techniques, the accumulation of their DNA was of paramount importance for the
younger scientists now in charge of the operation.
The head geneticist and overall project leader
of the cloning master plan was Mahmoud Aradanan. Named after a past president of Iran, Mahmoud
Aradanan also came from the same village of the former leader. Certain rumors speculated that the two were
actually from the same family but this could not be confirmed. Both men were impulsive and in many instances
unpredictable. Mahmoud Aradanan had the
benefit of living and studying abroad.
This however did not soften or westernize his world views. On the contrary, it made him more radical. Originally a staunch follower of the
Ayatollah’s Islam, Aradanan went much further in his interpretation of Islamic
superiority calling for a worldwide jihad to be initiated in every single
country in the world no matter the presence of Muslims. The Ayatollah envisioned the creation of a
supreme benevolent Muslim leader that would firstly unite all of Islam in the
Islamic world and then through example gradually work towards fading out all
other world religions by conversions.
Patience, virtue and other similar attributes would be the traits of
this manufactured leader. Aradanan
however had other thoughts. The supreme
leader would need to have other characteristics in addition to patience, virtue
and wisdom. He must be mentally strong,
excessively aggressive and above all have a merciless resolve to always
win. Victors are the only benefactors of
history and for Arabanan; this could only be guaranteed by outright conquest
and if need be destruction, as history so vividly has shown. Those who will challenge the Supreme Islamic
Leader as he would come to be known must be completely annihilated without any remorse. Benevolence, love and compassion would only
be afforded to believers. Non-believers
will only be tolerated up to a certain point for in the end, they too will need
to make a decision to convert or perish.
Arabanan
had begun to collect DNA from the most ferocious Islamic warriors and
jihadists. Many of them were unknown to
the world but not to him. Suicide
bombers, mercenaries and fanatical clerics were prime subjects. To Arabanan, nothing was off limits if it
meant that the Supreme Islamic Leader would be able to conquer the entire
world. If the devil himself had offered
to aid in this venture, Arabanan would have seriously contemplated accepting
his assistance since it would have meant the complete destruction of all
infidels who refused to adhere to the Supreme Islamic Leader.
Unfortunately for all of mankind, the devil
never asks; it finds acceptance and enters at free will. Some of Arabanan’s trusted scientists
accepted his vision of world dominance but found it more expedient to do so
with the help of the Dark One. They had
their eyes set on creating a world leader that they would be in control
of. The prospect of being in such a
position of power was nothing short of intoxicating. Even God would see them as His equals. During one light night at an undisclosed lab
in Teheran, Arabanan was preparing to leave after another long day. As he left the premises, shortly thereafter,
several mysterious looking figures entered the lab with no resistance coming
from the guards. These ghostly looking
figures were dressed in odd looking black garments with their faces completely
covered. They began chanting as small
sparks of flames began to pierce through the floor around the table where the
cloned experiment lay. This lasted
several minutes and the scientists who had initiated this ritual began to fear
for their very lives. The room began to
experience a drastic rise in temperature and the chants began to deafen the
entire area. Their fears were
legitimate. Out of nowhere and without
the capacity to react, one of the daunting figures abandoned the dark ceremony
lifting a sword from underneath its robe.
The sound of the decapitated heads falling one by one onto the floor
gave way to the multiple roars from the cloned experiment. In the quest for world domination, it is
apparent that there is no loyalty.
