Birch<\/em> (20<sup>th<\/sup> century): Many of the prophecies speak of the fact <strong>that the Great King at first will not be well-liked, especially by the French clergy<\/strong>&#8230; <strong>The Great King will be crowned Holy Roman Emperor by the reigning Pope<\/strong>\u2026A man who will subsequently be known as a great saint will ultimately be elected pope near the end of the Chastisement\u2026He will be heavily responsible for the French acceptance of a king to be their military and civil leader.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The fact that this leader will not, according to Catholic prophecy, be well-like by the French-clergy suggests that he is not one who is truly dedicated to the Catholic faith.\u00a0 I believe he, like Emperor Constantine, will be a politician first and will use religion as a means of unity&#8211;and will compromise with what little religion he pretends to have whenever he believes it is in his personal and political interest.<\/p>\n<p>The Bible, as my book as points out, warns against an emerging European Beast power headed up by a semi-religious figure who will have the support of one that I have tended to describe as an antipope (who, BTW, my book states is not believed to be the current pope).\u00a0 More and more steps are taking place for this European Beast power to rise up.<\/p>\n<p><em>Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/kingofthenorth.htm\">Who is the King of  the North?<\/a> Is there one?
