Sacraments. The return of the Holy Mass and the Holy Eucharist occurs 

when the persecution of Christians ends, at the end of the Forty Years. 

Again, during the later persecution under the Antichrist, the return of the 

Holy Mass and the Holy Eucharist occurs after the Antichrist is defeated 

and Christ Returns. 

The War at the End of the Forty Years (World War IV) 

     And when he approached near to the ram, he was enraged against him, 

and he struck the ram, and broke his two horns, and the ram could not 

withstand him, and when he had cast him down on the ground, he trampled 

him, and no one was able to free the ram from his hand.  (Dan 8:7, CPDV). 

    The ram represents the Arab forces. They will be trampled upon by the 

forces led by the great monarch. He cannot lose, for God fights with him, 

just as God fought for David and the Israelites, just as God fought for Judas 

Maccabeus. He shall call upon God and His angels to assist him in fighting 

the Arabs. No one will be able to rescue the Arab forces from his power. 

    Because of the severe persecution and massacre of Christians by the Arab 

forces, the free world will agree to support the great monarch. Like Charles 

De Gaulle, he will save the French  from their oppression. Like the French 

leader Charlemagne, he will rule over many nations, peoples and languages. 

He shall rise to great power from a humble beginning. He shall have the 

blessing and support of the Pope, the angelic shepherd. 

    The war of the great monarch against the Arabs will be fierce and many 

will suffer greatly.  The sixth seal (Rev 6:12 17) describes the result of this 

war. Nuclear weapons, or similar devices, will be used. The allied forces will 

use pure fusion weapons (nuclear weapons without radioactive material), 

but the Arab forces will use nuclear weapons containing radioactive material 

(uranium or plutonium). The use of so many nuclear weapons is one of the 

causes of a nuclear winter about a year or so later (Rev 8:12). 

    By the end of this terrible war, the Arabs will be driven out of Europe and 

conquered even in their own lands. Christians will be freed from persecution 

and the Church will have much sway over the laws of the nations. The 

whole world will rebuild and be renewed. This is a foreshadowing  of the 

Millennium of peace and holiness (in the 25th century). 

The Great Monarch 

    The great monarch will be a devout and faithful Catholic. He will lead the 

free allied nations against the Arabs to put an end to the great persecution 

and massacre  of Christians and to free the oppressed peoples. Swift and 

certain will be his attack. He will have the lesser forces, but he will have the
