The use of atomic weapons

[V.8] There will be let loose living fire and hidden death, fearful inside dreadful globes. By night the city will be reduced to rubble by the fleet, the city on fire, helpful to the enemy

A very striking description of a nuclear missile and bomb attack from a fleet in the sea which reduces an unspecified city to rubbles within a night. The description of living fire and hidden death inside dreadful globes is quite an imaginative description of nuclear bombs.

The french leader "CHIREN"

[II.79] The man with curly, black beard will subdue the cruel and proud nation through skill. The great CHIREN will take from afar all those captured by the Turkish banner.

"Chiren" is repeatedly mentioned as a hero in the prophecies. Elsewhere he has been mentioned as the French Christian King of the world. Is Chiren the present French President Nicolas Sarkozy? Or maybe the Canadian (french) President Cheretien as one of the visitors to this site suggested. Here it appears that Chiren will rescue those captured earlier by Turkish forces. Some say that "Chiren" is the same person who is the "awaited one" - the second coming of Jesus who will kill the Anti-Christ.

One physical description of the future king and emperor, provided by the seventeenth-century commentator David Poreaus, states that he will have a large forehead, dark eyes, brown hair, and a hawk nose (an accurate description of French President Nicolas Sarkozy). He is "Huge, the brown-haired, the irresistible" to the Irish prophet St. Columbkille.
