Although we know nothing of Blessed Johannes De Sylva’s life here is a part of his writings:- “In the latter days there shall be great wars and bloodshed. The fury of the wars shall last a long time. Whole provinces shall be left naked and uninhabited, many cities forsaken of people, the nobility slaughtered, principal persons ruined, great changes of kings, commonwealths, and rulers.
“In the latter days there shall be great wars and bloodshed. The fury of the wars shall last a long time. Whole provinces shall be left naked and uninhabited, many cities forsaken of people, the nobility slaughtered, principal persons ruined, great changes of kings, commonwealths, and rulers…” 1
“Germany and Spain will unite under a great
prince designated by God. After much slaughtering, the other nations will be
forced to come into this union. There is no hope for the unbelievers until all
of Germany becomes converted; then all will happen quickly. Because of
Germany’s unfaithfulness the time will be prolonged until all countries unite
under the Great Ruler. After this union mass conversions will take place by the
command of God, and peace and prosperity will follow…” 2
