?? ABBÉ VOCLIN (1773-1838) - There is a Great Monarch prophecy attributed to Abbé Jean Baptiste Joseph Voclin of Amiens, and, there indeed was such an individual. His tomb can be searched for online, from which I gleaned then following information on historical grave-marker websites, and also one or two French sites that mention his prophetic commentary. I also found a lithograph of him, pictured above.
He became a priest during the most turbulent time of the French Revolution. He was forced to leave the country and was ordained in exile. Eventually he returned and became the parish priest of Saleux-Salouël near Amiens, replacing Monseigneur Affre who had fallen on the barricades of the June riots in Paris. Fr. Voclin then became dean of St. Jacques, then Vicar General of this parish. He was well versed in literature, and could speak and write both Latin and Greek fluently.
Abbé Voclin was known for his great charity, selflessness, zeal, and services to the community, especially the poor. He taught religious instruction at the free school and was a talented teacher. He was beloved by the all and practically the whole community came to his funeral upon his death. Mr. Yvert, editor-in-chief of the Gazette de Picardie, had the following quatrain engraved on his grave:
“He rests in his God, the late priest / Which ardent charity consumed too soon, / And who, alive, never rested on earth / As long as his charity saw poverty there.”
The Rue Voclin in Amiens was named after him.
The prophetic commentary attributed to him apparently was first published in the 1883 edition of Adrien Peladan's “Annales du surnaturel”. Later, it was published in the monthly prophetic bulletin, 'Demain' by Baron de Novaye in 1905.
Unfortunately, I cannot find online copies of either, (Google does have a listing but no accessible e-book for Peladan's 'Annales' of 1883). I managed to get a 'preview snippet' of a latter printing of Peladan's book dated 1885 thanks to Google, but this is all that was provided in the snippet preview, “It was in 1827, in October. He (Abbé Voclin) was going in the company of another person, to Crécy, for the feast of S. Séverin.” So, we can at least glean the person with whom he was going to Crécy recorded his prophecy.
For the present, I will have to assume the French websites that quote this have the correct information, and, hope that Peladan was not knowingly or unknowingly publishing a hoax. Hence this will be marked (??) for discernment.
This commentary is described as a 'speech' Abbé Voclin gave in October 1827, so possibly it is from a sermon or conversation, meaning this is could be only a personal commentary, not an original mystic revelation. However, he was obviously a priest in excellent standing with the Church and believed in the prophecies, therefore, his commentary is included in the Timeline as he is in agreement with all the other credible prophecies.
Of interest, if this speech is credible and not a hoax, he accurately predicted the 1830 Revolution and also the reign of Louis-Philippe.
The sole exception regarding credibility is his timing on how long the promised Age of Peace will last. The 'century of happiness' obviously is his own idea as he did qualify it with a 'perhaps' ~ mystics with original revelations say the Age will last a minimum of 25 years, and possibly up to 45 or 50 years, but not 'after perhaps a century of happiness' as he says, so this detail won't be in the Timeline page, but the rest of his commentary will be included.

The commentary attributed to Abbé Voclin (1827):
"... Remember that in two or three years a revolution will break out. The crisis will not be long, but there will be a lot of bloodshed. Religion will suffer.
(NOTE: this was a prediction of the July Revolution of 1830 through which Louis-Philippe usurped the throne from the true king of France, Henry V.)
The reign of the new potentate will last long enough. But before 1850 another upheaval will break out: it seemed to come from a word. The Republic will be proclaimed; but for a short time.
(NOTE: this was a prediction of the Revolution of 1848 and the overthrow of Louis-Philippe, which led to the French Second Republic. The Second Republic was indeed short lived, one of the shortest in French history, lasting from 1848 until 1851 when Napoleon III initiated the Second Empire. The rest of the prophecy refers to events which will take place later some time in the future. From the context, it foretells the terrible war that will bring in the Great Monarch.)
A more terrible cataclysm will be unleashed later. They will talk about a lot of money. There will be abominable writings against religion. Bitter disputes will take place between writers of opposing sentiments.
Streams of blood will flow in various parts of France. The Seine will flow reddened waves to the sea. Paris will be filled with murders.
The North will be severely tested; but Amiens will suffer little, being specially protected by the Blessed Virgin.
During this terrible crisis, the churches will be closed by order or by prudence. These misfortunes will last three months. There will be a moment so gloomy that all will seem lost.
But a miracle that no one can question in doubt will be accomplished. The wicked will be crushed. Many will convert.
A king after the Heart of God will ascend the throne. His reign will be long. France will be prosperous, religion in honour. After perhaps a century of happiness (??? questionable timing), men will become perverted again: it will be the end of time.”
(NOTE: despite the questionable timing of its duration, Abbé Voclin is an agreement there would be a great Age of Peace, and that after the Age of Peace, the end of time happens, meaning people grow corrupt again and the Antichrist then arrives.)
