PERÉ NECTOU (1698-1773)
Peré Charles Auguste Lazare Nectou (also known as
Nectoux ou Necktou) was born à Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre, the
Vendée, France on November 30, 1698. His father was Native
of Autun (Saône-et-Loire) and was a Counselor Attorney and Attorney
at La Rochelle Headquarters. His mother was Catherine du Bouchet. Peré Nectou
was a provincial of the Jesuits of Aquitaine. He was superior of a
house of Jesuits in Belgium, then rector of the college of Poitiers
from 1752 to 1760. (Image: Poitiers, France).
He is the author of many ascetic writings. Many considered him a saint and a prophet. Peré Nectou died on the 29th of April, 1773 in Dax, Landes.
It is said he once raised a
child from the dead, and, as I have not found any condemnation of his
prophecies, I have included them in the Timeline, however, there is an odd contradiction or two, which shows they may be additions made by later writers and editors in order to bend the prophecies to their own ideas. These contradictions are marked out.

Apparently, he gave prophecies about Madeleine Sophie Barat who would later found the Society of the Sacred Heart. Suzanne, one of Madeleine's parents, reported that Father Nectou was referring to her when she was just a girl:
Peré Nectou: "The one who is destined to be in France, the founder of this congregation, is still in the care of her dolls." (I.e she was still a child playing with her dolls the time he made this prophecy.) He announced that this society would be called "Ladies of Christian Instruction".
Madeleine was then only 3 or 4 years old. In 1733, this same Madeleine returns to consult the father Nectou who confirmed to him the same destiny.
At the age of 82, then Mrs. Geoffrey, and then superior of the Ladies of the Sacred Heart in Lyon, she officially certified as authentic all the facts about her described here.

During the suppression of the Jesuits in France, Father Nectou confided to a very young priest of Poitiers, the Abbe d'Aviau, what God had revealed to him about the future.
The society of Jesus was soon to be abolished in all Catholic states.
But it would not be forever, and he, the abbot of Aviau, would contribute to it's restoration, and would be part of the establishment of "the new Jesuit company". He announced to him that he would be the archbishop of a great city and would favor with all his power the return of the sons of Saint Ignatius.
Then he went on to say that it would be in his diocese that the Jesuits would open their first college.
He also announced the horrors of the French Revolution, the development of the counter-revolutionary movement and the triumph of the Bourbons.
All his predictions have been verified.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The predictions of Father Nectou were noted and published in 1833 by the Apostolic Bikar Eillis of Edinburgh.
Father Nectou in the seventeenth century had announced that the Child of the Temple would not perish and that his posterity would ensure the triumph of the Church: "As there will never have been any such". The Pope presumably, as well as the Great Monarch and his successors being part of this posterity.
(NOTE: This prediction that Louis XVII, the son of Louis XVI would not die in the Temple Prison during the Revolution could be a later addition NOT by Fr. Nectou, or perhaps a wrong personal opinion of his and not a heaven revealed prophecy. DNA testing on the heart always considered to be that of Louis XVII and compared with the DNA of Queen Marie Antoinette shows the heart belonged to a child descended from the Hapsburgs, and therefore could be none other than Louis XVI's son, Louis XVII, as was always claimed. Therefore, there is no hidden line from Louis XVII.
Of interest, the Abbé Souffrant personally believed in the idea that Louis XVII survived, but then apparently predicted against a hidden heir of Louis XVI in his own prophecies. Abbé Souffrant's prophecy leans towards Henry V's branch of the Bourbon family. Ven. Mother Marie Josepha of Bourg also prophesied that 'Prince Dieudonné' was the promised Great Monarch, (Henry V). Even Marie-Julie Jahenny and the 'Ecstatic of Tours' note it was Henry V the 'Miracle Child' who was the chosen Great Monarch, and this was revealed to Marie-Julie by Heaven itself and is not a personal interpretation from her. The 'Ecstatic of Tours' also had mystic revelations it was the king of her time that was not wanted her would be the Great Monarch (Henry V), so these revelations given by Heaven would outweigh any personal interpretation of future events.)
Peré Nectou: "During this revolution, which will be general and not confined to France, Paris will be so completely destroyed that twenty years later, the fathers will walk in its ruins with their children who will ask them what was there.
They will answer: "My child, it was once a great city, which God destroyed because of his crimes".
After this terrible event, everything will return to order; justice will reign in the world and the counter-revolution will be accomplished. "
It was around 1760, when he was at the house of Poitiers, that he confided to Father de Raux, still a novice at that time, the predictions below.
He predicts the complete suppression of the Society of Jesus as the signal and the beginning of all the misfortunes that threatened Europe. He announced the upheavals of the French Revolution and the executions of the crowned heads of the greatest houses of the Kingdom.
Then he added:
"Then there will be a reaction that we take for the counter-revolution, it will last well for a few years. One will believe the revolution consumed, but it will only be a plastering, a badly sewn dress.
There will be no schism, but the Church will not triumph again. (NOTE: – ODD PROPHECY: other prophecies say there will be a terrible schism, and an APOSTASY, also, notice Fr. Nectou contradicts himself later, saying the Church will triumph and be restored through the Great Monarch. There can be no 'restoration' without some sort of rupture needing to be corrected.)
There will be new troubles in France. A hateful name to France will be placed on the throne. One of Orleans will be king.
Only after this usurpation will the counter-revolution be made. It will not be done by strangers. (i.e the French will rise up - civil unrest, revolution)
Two parties will be formed in France that will wage a war to the death. One party of order and the other of disorder. One will be much more numerous than the other, but it will be the weakest who will triumph.
Then there will be a moment so terrible that we believe at the end of the world. The blood will run in several big cities: the elements will be raised, it will be like a little judgement. (I.e a little judgement, like a little Judgement Day).
A great multitude will perish in this catastrophe, but the wicked will not prevail. They intend to destroy the Church entirely; time will not be given to them.
Because this horrible period will be short-lived. When we believe everything lost, everything will be saved. During this terrible upheaval that will be general and not only for France, Paris will be completely destroyed.
The destruction will be so complete that, for twenty years after, the fathers will walk with their children on its ruins, and to answer their questions, they will say to them: "My son, there was a great city here, God destroyed it because of his crimes. "
We will be near this catastrophe when England begins to move.
It will be known at this sign, as we know the approach of summer when the fig tree begins to bud.
England, in her turn, will experience a revolution more terrible than the French Revolution, and it will last long enough for France to have time to sit down again.
It will be France that will help England restore peace.
When we are ready for these events which must bring about the triumph of the Church ..., the disorder will be so complete that we will know nothing about it, (i.e about the triumph being near).
When the moment of the last crisis comes, there will be nothing to do but to remain where God has placed us, shut ourselves inside and pray, while waiting for the passage of divine anger and justice.
As a result of these frightful events, everything will return to order, justice will be done to everyone, the counter-revolution will be consumed.
Then the triumph of the Church will be such that there will never have been such a thing. (I.e. There will be nothing like to which we can compare it.)
The happy Christians who have survived ... will thank God for having reserved them to contemplate such a complete triumph of the Church.
Misfortunes must happen. Blood will flow in torrents in the North and the South.
The West will be spared because of his faith. (I.e. West of France, Brittany and the Vendeé). But blood will flow so far north and south, that I see it flow like rain on a stormy day, and I see the horses with blood to the straps.
It is mainly in the cities that blood will flow.
Religion will be persecuted, ministers will be forced to hide at least momentarily. The churches will be closed again for a short time ...
Paris will be destroyed in the midst of all these calamities, so destroyed that the plow will pass there.
In these events the good will have nothing to do, because it is the Republicans who devour each other. There will come a moment when one will believe everything lost.
It is then that everything will be saved, because between the cry "All is lost" and "All is saved", there will be no interval, so to speak, the time to transfer a cake.
Foreign powers will arm themselves, march against France.
Russia will come to water her horses in the Rhine, but will not pass it ...
Russia will convert and help France to restore peace and tranquillity to the world ...
After the crisis, there will be a general council, despite some oppositions made by the clergy themselves.
Then there will be only one flock and one shepherd, because all the infidels and heretics will return to the Latin Church, whose triumph will continue until the destruction of the Antichrist.
The triumph of the Church will be such that it will never have had such a thing.” (I.e the Triumph will be so great it will have never known such a triumph before.)
