FR. JEROME BOTIN (1358-1420) Not much is known of Fr. Botin other than he was a French Benedictine monk who was born in Cahors in 1358 and died on July 10, 1420. According to the publishers of his prophecies the monastic register of deaths in the Abbey of Saint Germain des Pres in Paris has the following notice: “On the 10th of July, 1420, died Jerome Botin of Cahors, aged 62 years. He was a person remarkable for his learning, piety, and holiness. May he rest in peace.” (Image: Abbey of Sr. Germain de Pres, Paris.)
Apparently,
he made a series of prophecies circa 1410, and they were collected
together in notebook and discovered in the abbey library, but the
copies we have are copies from those which began circulating from
around 1790 and the 1800s. A Mr. Bergasse had in his possession a
copy of this prophecy in writing, since the year 1790 and first
published in a book, by a Mr. Bricon, in the year 1830, republished
by Mr. Demonville in the year 1832, and by Mr. Dujardin in 1840.
The prophecies apparently were a revelation to Fr. Botin showing him what would happen in the centuries after his death. Are they real, or were they self-fulfilling forgeries written by well-meaning monarchists shortly after the Revolution to help rekindle interest in the Great Monarch prophecies?
Considering they only begain circulating a short time after the French Revolution, I discovered it has been speculated they are a forgery, but considering this was first published in the 1790s, and that they foretell circa the 1800s that the evil would be destroyed, and that a son of Artois would be born to restore all, this *may* be legitimate as it ties in with the Henry V prophecies, and they had no idea of a HENRY V arriving n the 1820s who descended from the Artois line via his grandfather Charles X, if this prophecy indeed first circulated in the 1790s. So until there is further proof it truly is a forgery, I shall add the double (??). meaning, to read with discernment.

In
the name of the Lord, the Creator of all things, behold the words
which the Holy Spirit has dictated to Jerome, servant of God, and
written in the Monastery of St. Germain des Pres, in Paris. In the
year 1410, of the Incarnation, Pope John XXIII. governing the Church
of God, Charles VI. reigning in France, behold what the Spirit hath
said to him.
I.
Woe to nations, woe to kings and princes, who govern people; for
times of mourning and of bitterness shall come, the storm of
tribulation shall divide and scatter men ; the earth shall be soaked
with the blood of ecclesiastics, of the nobility, and of the people.
Woe to those who carry the sword, for it shall be stained in their
own blood (of relatives). Nor far distant is the epoch when these
men shall come, says the Spirit to me.
II.
After one century (the Fifteenth Century, says Bricon as it is the
first century after Fr. Botin's death. This is apparently how the
prophetic centuries seem to be calculated) the Lord’s inheritance
shall be divided (through Luther's schism), and, on account of it,
princes shall fight against princes, nations against nations, and
egotism, under the pretext of reformation, shall attempt to upset
everything. But after another century (the Sixteenth Century) the
Church of God will be found all safe, because the hand of the
Almighty is more powerful than that of the strongest potentates of
the earth. This is what the Holy Spirit says to me.
III.
Woe to the sea, woe to the earth, and woe to those who live at
present, and during a century. Woe to France, and woe to the people
of the Island (England), because the inheritance of the Lord shall
abandon them, and for the few remaining faithful in it there shall be
much affliction, says the Spirit. (I.e. The rise of Protestantism in
England).
IV.
In about another century (the Seventeenth) the inheritance of the
Lord shall no longer be divided, at least in France. In this country
a king shall reign (Louis XIV.), of whom it is written, Arm thyself
with thy sword, and carry it at thy side. Being a most powerful
monarch, he will reunite kings, princes, and people; who will govern
with wisdom and power. This is what the Spirit says. His reign shall
be very long; it will be a reign of justice and strength; his memory
shall be glorious, and held in great veneration.
V.
After another century (the Eighteenth) the princes of the earth and
all the nations shall be in great agitation and fury (on account of
the first French Revolution), and this shall be a time of iniquity
and desperation; scarcely a man shall be found that will do good. It
is this that the Lord inspires me to announce. Then shall reign in
France a prince, the anointed of the Lord (Louis XVI), a man endowed
with virtue and mildness.
But
the ministers of iniquity shall put a price upon his head; they will
exhaust against him all their malice; they will put him in prison,
and his end shall be more wretched than his beginning so days the
Spirit.
VI.
After having cast him and his relatives into prison, the princes and
great men shall be dragged to destruction; and then great mourning
and lamentations shall be in the Church of God. A stone shall not be
left upon a stone. The altars and churches shall be destroyed, the
virgins consecrated to the Lord shall be outraged, these men of
iniquity shall be drunk with folly, because they shall have signs
over their heads, and houses (the cap of liberty?), says the Spirit.
VII.
Woe to princes and to great men, because their power shall be
destroyed. Woe to the people, because their hands shall be imbrued in
blood. Woe to those who govern them, because they shall walk in the
way of iniquity, and they shall become drunk with the blood of an
innocent king, of great men, and of the people, and their government
shall be a dominion of perversity, and a reign of abominations, and
in a short time they shall be expelled from power and shall perish.
It is this that the Spirit says to me.
VIII.
Woe to princes and great men! Woe to the people, because their king
shall be sacrificed like a lamb; (Louis XVI was sent to the
guillotine on the feast of St. Agnes, the 'Lamb' January 21, 1793) their neighbours shall be slain, and others shall be
exiled, and those who have committed these crimes will cry, Amen,
Before the end of the eighteenth century, the ministers of the altar
shall weep and suffer persecution, the Shepherd shall be struck and
the Flock dispersed.
IX.
Woe! yes, thousand times woe, to the people who rebelled against all
authority, and abolished the laws; they pulled up from the root the
source of their prosperity; they tore to pieces the Lily, but the
Eagle shall seize upon them; it shall catch and destroy its prey,
said the Spirit. (The publishers of these prophecies thought the
Eagle was Napoleon, but the Eagle is mentioned here just before a
huge deluge of blood is mentioned next, one wonders if the Great
Monarch is meant here as he too will found an empire during a time of
bloodshed and chastisements, empirical rule is usually represented by
an eagle. Also, the prophecy says the Eagle shall seize and destroy
those who destroyed the French Monarchy – which also sounds more
like a Great Monarch prophecy.)
X.
The earth shall be deluged with the blood of its inhabitants. Her
children, armed with iron, shall perish by the sword. Her innumerable
calamities, says the Lord, shall not appease my wrath. My right-hand
shall be lifted up against the people; the power that will oppress
them shall be my instrument of indignation against them, and against
other nations. This is what the Spirit says.
XI.
But some time after four centuries (from 1410, namely, during or
after the Nineteenth Century) the altars of Beelzebub shall be
destroyed. The workers of iniquity shall be punished and shall
perish; the heavenly dew shall fall upon the desolated earth, and
over the Church afflicted. (Of interest, Marie-Julie Jahenny also
foretold a heavenly dew will fall to cleanse the earth after it is
covered with dead bodies – this will happen before or just about
the same time as the Great Monarch appears.)
XII.
A son of royal blood shall be born from the race of Artois. He shall
govern France with prudence and with honor the spirit of God will be
with him; the Spirit said so. (Charles X. of France was Count of
Artois – the promised Great Monarch will be of his line. Of interest, Charles X was the grandfather of the man revealed to Marie-Julie Jahenny.)
XIII.
Before the end of the nineteenth century another Pastor (Papa
Angelico – 'Angelic Pontiff') shall rise, who will lead the people
in equity, and the kings in justice. He shall be honored by princes
and by the people; but before his empire is established, let those
who have not bowed down before Baal fly from Babylon (Paris), says
the Spirit. (NOTE: Since this has not happened yet, it appears we have been
given more time. Time is usually given as an indicator in
prophecies, but never set in stone so to speak as God will change
timing if people pay heed to the warnings and do penance. Both
rewards and punishments are either delayed or forwarded depending on
mankind's reactions. However, many prophecies are consistent here - Paris shall be destroyed before the reign of the Great Monarch and Angelic Pontiff.)
XIV.
Let everybody think how to save his life; for behold the time wherein
the Lord will have, with the severity of his punishments, to
demonstrate the multitude and enormity of the crimes with which she
(Paris) is defiled. The Lord will cause to revert upon that city all
the evils with which she has tyrannized over others.
XV.
This impious city, the ravager of nations, the executioner of her own
priests, of her kings, and of her own children, has been used by the
Lord as the hand for presenting the cup of his vengeance to all the
nations of the earth. All nations have drunk the wine of her frenzy
they shall suffer the anguish of her captivity and of her barbarity.
(i.e. they shall suffer on account of her atheistic doctrines, of
the Masonic democratic principles of the Revolution and conspiracies,
of her immoral and scandalous books, of her manifold instruments of
depravity, of her immodest modes and fashions, of her altars erected
to false gods.)
XVI.
But on a sudden this Babylon (Paris) is fallen, and in her fall she
is broken to pieces, said the Spirit.
XVII.
All this shall come to pass for the purification of the just, and for
the destruction of the wicked; in order to make men honor the Church
of God, and fear and serve the Lord.
Such
are the words which the Spirit revealed to his servant Jerome, who
wrote these things by his orders, the truth of which shall, in due
time, be acknowledged.
