ST. HILDEGARD OF BINGEN (1098-1179 AD) – Famed as the Sibyl
of the Rhine, she was a German Benedictine abbess, writer,
composer, philosopher, Christian mystic, visionary, and polymath. She
is considered to be the founder of scientific natural history in
Germany.
Hildegard was elected magistra by her fellow
nuns in 1136. She founded the monasteries of Rupertsberg in 1150 and
Eibingen in 1165. One of her works as a composer, the Ordo
Virtutum, is an early example of liturgical drama and arguably
the oldest surviving morality play. She wrote theological, botanical,
and medicinal texts, as well as letters, liturgical songs, and poems,
while supervising miniature illuminations in the Rupertsberg
manuscript of her first work, Scivias. She is also noted for
the invention of a constructed language known as Lingua Ignota.
Although the history of her formal consideration as
a saint complex, she has been recognized as a saint by the Roman
Catholic Church for centuries. On October 7, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI
proclaimed her a Doctor of the Church.
While she did have visions about the end times, there are other prophecies attributed to her saying she foretold that the world not know
peace until the throne of France is regained by the 'white flower', the fleur de lys.
These attributed prophecies also foretells that
the Monarch will come after some horrific catastrophic events – a
great comet will strike the earth and cause apocalyptic devastation –
possibly, this could be a prophecy of how the Three Days of Darkness
will come about.
Until I can find more information regarding the earliest sources for this set of prophecies, as everything up to now that I've found does not give the actual source, I've marked them (??) to be read with discernment as ATTRIBUTED prophecies until further notice:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“The time is coming
when princes and peoples will reject the authority of the Pope. Some
countries will prefer their own Church rulers to the Pope. The German
Empire will be divided. Church property will be secularized. Priests
will be persecuted. After the birth of Antichrist heretics will
preach their false doctrines undisturbed, resulting in Christians
having doubts about their holy Catholic faith. Toward the end of the
world, mankind will be purified through sufferings. This will be true
especially of the clergy, who will be robbed of all property. When
the clergy has adopted a simple manner of living, conditions will
improve…”
“At this time as a
punishment for their sins Christians especially will attempt armed
resistance to those who at that time are persecuting them, sensing no
concern for the death of their bodies. A powerful wind will rise in
the North carrying heavy fog and the densest dust by divine command
and it will fill their throats and eyes so they will cease their
savagery and be stricken with great fear. Then within the Christian
people the Holy Godhead will accomplish signs and wonders as if
accomplished them at the time of Moses with the pillar of cloud and
as Michael the archangel did when he fought the heathen for the sake
of the Christians. Because of Michael's help God's faithful children
will march under his protection. They will decimate their foes and
achieve victory through God's power…As a result of this a large
number of heathens will join Christians in true faith and they will
say: “The God of the Christians is the true God because such
wondrous works have been accomplished among the Christians…”
“Before
the Comet comes, many nations, the good excepted, will be scoured
with want and famine. The great nation in the ocean that is inhabited
by people of different tribes and descent (the USA?) by an
earthquake, storm and tidal waves will be devastated. It will be
divided, and in great part submerged. That nation will also have many
misfortunes at sea, and lose its colonies in the east through a Tiger
and a Lion.” The Comet by its tremendous pressure, will force much
out of the ocean and flood many countries, causing much want and many
plagues. [After the] great Comet, the great
nation will be devastated by earthquakes, storms, and great waves of
water, causing much want and plagues. The ocean will also flood many
other countries, so that all coastal cities will live in fear, with
many destroyed. All sea coast cities will be fearful and many of them
will be destroyed by
tidal waves, and most living creatures will be killed and even those
who escape will die from a horrible disease. For in none of these
cities does a person live according to the laws of God. Peace will
return to Europe when the white flower again takes possession of the
throne of France. During
this time of peace the people will be forbidden to carry weapons and
iron will be used solely for making agricultural implements and
tools. Also during this period the soil will be very productive and
many Jews, heathens and heretics will join the Church. Peace will
return when the Lily ascends the
Throne again. The land will be very productive . During this time
weapons will be forbidden. Iron will only be used for agricultural
tools. In this period the land will be very productive. Jews, heathen
and heretics will join the church… .”
“After
that there will be so few men left that seven women will fight for
one man, that they will say to the man: “Marry me to take
the disgrace from me.” For in those days it will be a disgrace for
a woman to be without child, as it was by the Jews in the Old
Testament … .”
“The
throne of the last Catholic Empire will crumble and the sceptre will
fall out of the hand of
him who sits on the throne. The Great Monarch by this time will be a
very old man. All justice will cease and will be trodden under
foot. The latter times will be more evil and corrupt in the eyes of
God. Children of God will be persecuted by the most hateful means in
the eyes of God. Almost immediately after the death of the Monarch
comes Antichrist…”

“God has employed six days in the
creation of this world and rested on the seventh day; these six days
represent the six first ages of the world. As God crowned all his
works on the sixth day (by the creation of man), so in the sixth age
of the world he has manifested new prodigies. The world is entering
the seventh age, which indicates the end of time.
(God apparently speaking to St. Hildegard),“My
Son came upon earth when the day of time’s duration was at the
period which corresponds in the ordinary day to the hours of none and
vespers, namely, between three and six o’clock, when to the heat of
the day succeeds the coolness of evening. In short, my Son appeared
on this earth after the first five epochs of the world, when this was
already
verging to its decline.
The son of perdition, Antichrist, who
shall reign only a very short time, shall come at the end of the day
of the world’s duration, at the period which corresponds to the
moment when the sun has disappeared beyond the horizon; that is to
say, he shall come at the last days of the world.”
"The streets of Jerusalem, will then shine in the brightest gold with the blood of Christians which will flow like water. Simultaneously Antichrist will try to increase his wonders."
