9. “The great battle will be fought _at the birch-tree_, between Unna, Hamm, and Werl. The people of half the world will there be opposed to each other. God will terrify the enemy by a dreadful storm. Of the _Russians_, but few shall return home to tell of their defeat. Jaspers described this battle as terrific.” We shall by and by hear more of this birch-tree. 10. “The war will be over in 1850, and in 1852 all will be again in order. 11. “The Poles are at first put down; but they will, along with other nations, fight against their oppressors, and at last obtain a king of their own. 12. “France will be divided internally into three parts.” It is curious to notice, that at present, although the state of matters in 1830 was very different, there are three parties in France, all of them powerful: namely, the Buonapartists, (with at least a part of the Orleanists,) and the moderate as well as the _pro tempore_ Republicans, headed by Louis Napoleon; the party of the old Bourbons and the priests, led by Falloux and the old nobility, such as Larochejaquelein and Montalembert; and lastly the Red Republicans, Socialists, and Communists. These three parties hold each other in check, and no one of them can at this moment do much. 13. “Spain will not join in the war. But the Spaniards shall come after it is over, and take possession of the churches. 14. “Austria will be fortunate, provided she do not wait too long. 15. “The papal chair will be vacant for a time. 16. “The nobility is much depressed, but in 1852 again rises to some extent. 17. “When asked as to the future of Prussia, he maintained an obstinate silence, saying only that King Frederick William IV. would be the last.” This agrees with Brother Herrmann, as formerly stated. A man named Pottgiesser, in Dortmund, long since dead, drew up a genealogical tree of the royal house, in which he says of the present king—to whom he gives no successor—“He disappears.” 18. “There will be one religion. On the Rhine stands a church which all people shall aid in building. From thence, after the war, shall proceed the rule of faith. All sects shall be united; only the Jews shall retain their old obstinacy.” The dome at Cologne is obviously alluded to. We shall see, hereafter, that Cologne is expected to become the seat of ecclesiastical rule by other prophets. 19. “In our district priests shall become so rare, that, after the war, people will have to walk seven leagues in order to attend divine service. 20. “Our country will be so much depopulated, that women will have to cultivate the soil; and seven girls shall fight for a pair of inexpressibles. 21. “The house of Ikern shall be set on fire by shells. 22. “The soldiers shall march to battle (or to war) first, then return, decked with the cherry blossoms. And only after that shall the great war break out.”
