!? Bug de
Milhas (Milhaus) (b.? - d. 1843)
SUSPICIOUS - Signs of a HOAX / FAKE
Often
misspelled in English translations as 'Bug de Milhaus' or 'Milhouse', Bug
was allegedly a French hermit from the village of 'Milhas del
Cominges' in the French Pyrenees who died circa 1843 at a very
advanced age, 100 years old or over that. It is said when he died,
rolls of papers were found in his little hut, some in several
languages, including one in Arabic, and it is this one in the Arabic
tongue that is the last prophecy he gave.
This account
of his death and the alleged 'last prophecy' was first published in 1843 in a
'prophetic' almanac with a mishmash of a calendar of Church feast
days, times for planting, and horoscopes, etc, (see footnote 1) in what
would be in today's terms a lowbrow popular farmer's almanac magazine
with astrology forecasts, which is very suspicious. Considering how
a French hermit in the Pyrenees supposedly wrote his last prophecy in
an Arabic dialect text instead of in French or the local dialect,
which ended up having its first printing in an astrology and prophecy almanac, the authenticity
of Bug as a true mystic let alone a real person is in serious
question.
Even if he
were real, if he were French or from the Pyrenees, the 'Arabic' origin of his text
suggests it may not have been his at all, but a strange prophecy of
unknown and dubious origin, or, if there really was a 'Bug' – which
sounds odd in itself as I can found no Spanish or French usage of the
name, but only a modern day version of the Turkish 'Bûglem',
(no meaning), or 'Bugra', which means 'little camel'. Odd to have a French
Christian hermit with a name possibly related to the modern Turkish word
'little camel' with an Arabic text in the French Pyrenees!
Another
indication something is 'off', while there is a place called
'Milhas' in the French Pyrenees, there is no village named 'Milhas de
Cominges' – however, there are various villages in the Milas region
that have Comminges in their name, most notably
Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges
with its former cathedral, which is on the famous pilgrimage
route of Santiago de Compostela in the south of France – hence it
appears with the made-up name of 'Milhas de Cominges' there was a
deliberate attempt to forge an association with this 'prophet' Bug
and a well-known holy site in order to make his prophecy sound more
authentic as the prophecy itself is in question.
The 'last
prophecy' attributed to Bug regarding a great leader coming from the
Tajo region of Portugal / Spain leading an army that will bring peace
to Spain and the rest of the world contradicts the prophecies of
approved Catholic mystics, blessed, apparitions, saints, etc, which state it
will be France and a French King that will establish the Age of
Peace. Obviously someone in Spain in the early to mid 1800s twisted
the Great Monarch prophecies for their own aims to sell their horoscope almanacs and
also boost national pride among the Spanish populace.
In all, the
prophecy attributed to Bug written in 'Arabic' first appearing in a horocope almanac has the ring of a
mystique-creating hoax about them. Considering the suspicious background history of this prophecy and its contradiction with prophecies from Church-approved and creditable sources, it is not included in the Timeline.
