The Roaring Lion: Prophetic Decision on the Bohemian War

...abyss and go into perdition. It is described that it was, and shall come again out of the abyss; it is also described with its eight kings and ten kings and is expressly named, showing how it has power over all peoples on Earth which [God] created; for truly no empire has ever possessed [such power] except the Roman, especially even before the Turkish Empire The Ottoman Empire, as no man can deny. But there is not much to dispute here, for whoever the Beast is in Daniel Referring to the four beasts in Daniel chapter 7., he is also in the Apocalypse The Book of Revelation.; for just as he is described in Daniel—that he blasphemes God, destroys and overcomes His saints—so too is he described here in the Apocalypse according to all circumstances and concordances Parallels between different scriptural passages., to say nothing of the timing and other clear interpretations which I have, by God’s grace, explained clearly enough elsewhere. Therefore, just as the beginning is described, so also the end of the Beast is described in Daniel, Esdras Referring to the apocalyptic visions in the book of 2 Esdras (4 Ezra)., and the Apocalypse: namely, that it shall be destroyed through the coming of Christ and consumed with fire, or thrown into the fiery pit.

Now that we know who and what the Beast is, and how it is distinguished from the Turkish Empire in its time, power, and authority, as well as its end—seeing that the Turk shall not be burned but will perish in his own bed with great pain—we must also consider and properly examine who then the Woman and the Harlot is The "Whore of Babylon" from Revelation 17., who sits upon the Beast. In the meantime, the States of the Union The Protestant Union, a coalition of Protestant German states formed in 1608. and the Princes need not take this upon themselves at all; for although they previously belonged to the Beast and received their souls from the same, the Kingdom has now been divided.
THE YEAR 1619.

As I have clearly shown elsewhere through God’s grace, the Princes of the Union, with their Head and General FREDERICK Frederick V of the Palatinate, the "Winter King," who accepted the Bohemian crown in 1619., have nothing to do with the cursed Beast, whose General is the Dragon—who is the Devil, the old Serpent, and Satan, who seduces the whole world. But the General of King FREDERICK and his people is the great Prince Michael with his heavenly host in the name of the Lamb. Therefore, what belongs to the Dragon does not concern the saints of God; there is a very great difference between the Devil and his followers, and between Christ and his followers. Christ shall give honors over the kingdoms of this world to his princes and kings, who now stand exposed and have been taken out of the Kingdom of Satan; but the Kingdom of the Devil he shall root out along with all weeds, so that He may begin His Kingdom, wherein shall be Peace, Faith, Love, and Righteous[ness]
