In an ordinary epistle farther hints cannot be given in regard to what was done on our side, to move the one or the other government to order the strictest examination of our message, which contains the means for abolition[U] of all Revolutions and for the foundation of the universal peace on the whole globe; but I remark, that when they would not hear our warning voice, Revolution broke out in February, 1848, under such preparatory, concomitant signs, and under such corresponding events, that after having studied those events in my writings which have been after that partly published in the English language partly preserved for publication, you will see, that, after our warnings given under Heavenly inspiration had been contemptuously rejected, the infernal furies had received the power, to commence to spread the flood of Revolution exactly on the same day, which gives the most evident testimony, that Revolution broke out according to a higher calculation on account of the contempt of our message of peace.

Emperor Ferdinand having been compelled by that Revolution to issue a constitution, I read that constitution in a newspaper on the 18th of April, 1848, and was moved on the 19th April, which was the birth-day of the Emperor, to give him in consequence of my charge a written assurance that by that constitution the government and people will be saved from ruin, if the Emperor accepts my offer; because in this case I was ready, to start directly for Vienna, and show how the Free Press which was guarantied by the constitution, would be properly used for developing and spreading truth, as people have a right to demand, and its abuse impeded, as the government is bound to impede it. I have given the Emperor the assurance, that this, our offer, was made under higher direction for the true happiness of the Imperial Family and the people. I have sent in the same writing our proclamation to the nations of the empire, and exhorted the emperor, that if he would write to me, that I should come to Vienna, he should at the same time publish our proclamation in all languages of the empire; because, if he accomplishes this, by our use of the free press the door will be opened for the introduction of the promised peace of the world, but on the contrary revolutions and wars would be repeated and governments and nations ruined. Those highly momentous documents were sent to the minister of the Austrian government in Washington to be forwarded to the emperor. Informatian was given to the minister in my next letter, to which post office he should send the answer, if he should receive any for me from the Austrian government. After having thus notified him I have received no answer; but very important signs were given of the approaching war in which the emperor resigned the throne and Hungary was wasted.

The three monarchs to whom my books have been sent, but who have neglected to make use of the means contained therein for the peace of nations, have been compelled to give up their thrones, but nations could not become partakers of the promise of the universal peace; because it will not be established by the sword but by the means contained in our message of peace, and we have received so many signs according to prophecies as evidences of our mission, that whereas since the year 1838 to 1842 five volumes have been written in this respect, I repeated while I was writing the fifth volume, that five hundred volumes could be written, if we would continue to explain prophecies of past ages and their development in the preparations for our mission and during our mission, and the signs by which our mission is confirmed. But we have explained superabundance of them, because by our explanation the dreadful condition of governments and nations has been disclosed. Signs continue steadily, although the blind leaders of the blind, while the Lord appears as a thief, comprehend them as little, as the Pharisees did, when Christ appeared and prophesied the destruction of the city and the temple.

Confined to a common letter, I can give only some hints. While the terrible war was raging principally in Hungary, I laboured industriously at the commencement of the year 1849 to move the American bishops, to appear either personally or to send their Theologians to a convention in the city of New York, to whom I offered to read in the Latin language my system for the abolition of revolutions and Wars and introduction of the world's peace.

I did all I could to move the bishops to attend our Latin convention, and to make as many objections and remarks as they would find suitable, although all must have been made in writing and handed to me, to be annexed with my remarks to my system and published in Latin and in translations, that men everywhere, could learn our message of peace and all nations might become partakers of the greatest promises and the world's peace could be established.

After bishops had neglected their highest duty, I translated the Latin system into English and German, and made most urgent applications to several Presidents and to congressmen of the United States, to move the American government, to assemble a convention for the same object, for which I endeavoured to move bishops. In the meantime Lewis Kossuth arrived in America, and I considered it to be my peculiar duty, to make use of what was in my power, to direct him from the spirit of destruction to peace and to explain to him my system in which is shown, how without soldiers the rights of men will be restored and the peace of the world established. After several letters of preparation, at length I met personally with him in Cincinnati. But he was cunning and let me come to him in company with others, and when I required to speak privately with him, he excused himself with not having time to speak with me privately, and directed me to Count Pulski, who was his associate. I paid to this man several visits, and shewed to him that it was necessary for Kossuth and his assistants, to study my system and to retire with me for this purpose. But the result of all my labour was, that at length Kossuth had sent to me the message that it was impossible for him to give up his plan. He is a strong "Medium," as those are called here who are possessed, and those who are possessed by destroying spirits, have their work, to torment rulers or also to destroy them, if they will not find salvation in our message of peace.

Having here only opportunity to give hints on points, on which I could write volumes, I remark, that when the American government could not be moved to call a convention for an examination of our message of peace, I wrote, when Emperor Napoleon III. was preparing for war against Russia, to his ambassador in Washington, that the emperor would gather together the highest merits for himself and mankind, if he, instead of the war preparations against Russia, would call bishops of his empire to Paris, to examine with me my Latin system for the foundation of the world's peace. By doing this he would make himself and his friends and at the same time all nations happy; but in the opposite course he would prepare misfortune for himself and France. I assured the ambassador of the French government in Washington, that if he before he would write to the emperor, himself wished to be convinced of my assertion, I was ready if he would call me, to come myself to Washington and to explain to him my system as long as would be necessary to convince him, that we have truly received from Heaven the commission and credentials for the foundation of the worlds peace, and that those regents will be in this and in the future life most unhappy, who refuse to accept our invitation. I have received no answer from the ambassador of the French government.

Although I am writing very closely in my advanced age without spectacles, which I never used in my life, I have very little space in a common letter, to mention also the following items: The nearer we were approaching to the present Revolutionary Wars in Europe the stronger were also the signs of warning, and they are building just now on the land which has been bought for our Peace-Union, a hall for our conventions, in which our system for the foundation of the world's peace will be explained and messengers of peace will be educated to be sent in all quarters of the world. But whereas, before their labors will establish the world's peace everywhere on the globe, all monarchs and their families might be exterminated, if they would not make use of the means for the foundation of the world's peace, I write this letter on this Feast of Pentecost and anniversary of momentous events. Your predecessor, Anthony Aloysy Wolf, Prince-Bishop of Laibach, was one of those Prince Wolves, who have received my first two volumes, but were not prepared to study them, and to proclaim to Emperor Ferdinand and to the nations, the great things which the Lord has done. Those wolves have deceived in regard to our mission the Emperor, the priests and the people, and by this deception they became the originators of all those murders, which have been perpetrated in revolutions and wars and manifold other manners, which would have been prevented by receiving and spreading our message of peace. These are the fruits, when wolves are made pastors of nations! By murders which are perpetrated in revolutions, wars and other ways, those who are murdered, are turned into infernal furies, instead of having been converted by suitable education, into Heavenly Angels. By these furies which have been murdered in revolutions and wars, nations which are now living, are instigated to murders in revolutions and wars and in manifold other manners and also to all kinds of other criminal deeds, the atmosphere is disturbed and men are tormented with all kinds of plagues, and if they are not murdered cruelly by force, their lives are shortened manifoldly, so that also those who live longest, would have lived much longer, if it would have been introduced amongst nations and duly used, what we know, but cannot use till governments introduce that which we demand.

I was Professor of Divinity in Babylon which is spoken of in the Revelation; but whereas I was sincerely searching after truth for my own and the welfare of my fellow-men, matters have been disclosed to me, which I had never expected, while I was prepared without my knowledge by invisible agents for my present charge. According to this charge I am now Professor of Divinity or Church-Doctor for the promised peaceable Reign of God on Earth. As Church-doctor I will teach bishops and priests as well as monarchs and other grandees of the kingdoms of this world, when they will be ready to hear the Heavenly voice which is made manifest through so feeble an instrument as I am, how to pacify the furies into which men are converted by murders and how to draw them into the resurrection, that is, from their low to a higher condition. My apostolic name which I have obtained on the feast of the apostle Andrew, November 30, 1795, is Andrew. But when on the 30th November, 1826, at the solemn profession of the Benedictine order I adopted by higher impulse the name Bernardus, then also Pope Leo XII. was inspired, that he promulgated Bernardus a Church-doctor. He in his shortsightedness, had in his mind the celebrated monk of the twelth century. But neither that monk who was preaching crusades, nor Pope Leo XII. knew, that Turks, heretics and other nations will be converted in true Christians without blood shedding and Christ's peaceable reign will be established on the whole earth. But the Pope spoke as prophet of our mission who was at that time High Priest and prophesied, that, whereas I adopted in the prophetical profession of the Benedictine Order the name Bernardus, I had to pass as monk through the last epoch of my studies of preparations for my present charge, till I became Doctor Ecclesiæ, Church-Doctor, teaching what bishops and doctors of Divinity do not understand, although it is highly necessary for the peace of nations. From my first arrival in the Benedictine Order, when I determined to live there, till I started for America, exactly twelve years passed.

By the memorable events which happened in the Cathedral Church in Boston, a key was given us to unlock prophecies, which have been before either entirely locked, or only in some measure unlocked. Some interpreters have known, that the seven churches in the second and third chapters of the Revelation were prophetical churches, typifying the seven states, to which all churches of the Christian name since the edition of the Revelation until the foundation of the universal peace on earth may be reduced, so that every portion of the Christian name belongs to the one or the other of the seven churches. In the third of the above mentioned volumes, we, that is, I under the direction of invisible assistants, have disclosed so much regarding the fulfilment of the prophecies in our time, as is abundantly sufficient for testimony of our mission. In our disclosure Thyatira in the 18th verse of the second chapter of the Revelation is the type of the Roman Catholic Church. What is said concerning that church until the end of that chapter, you Bishops should at length consider and digest well. You kept fast what you did not understand, till at length the Lord comes by our mission, and unlocks by our mediumship the Divinity for His Reign of peace. We have overcome and to us was given "the Rod of Iron and the Morning Star." I speak in the name of all those who are co-operating with me according to the Plan of the Most High for the universal peace of all nations. We have "the iron rod," but not the iron sword. The iron rod is only a symbol of our office to announce judgments to the disobedient nations and to their rulers. They are bruised enough and broken. Those who remain, should at length hear our voice, then their wrong systems will be broken to pieces, but men will be saved. For we have received not only the iron rod, but also the morning star. In the great temptations through which we had to pass, we remembered the morning star which appeared several times during the sun shine in close connexion with our steps, and once in a peculiar connection with you, Prince Bishop Anthony Slomshek! as well as in connection with the Emperor of Austria! You remember that I wrote at a certain occasion my opinion in regard to your sermons which appeared in print in our Slavonian mother tongue, and in that my article I made also some extracts from my Latin manuscript, "On the congeniality of languages[V]," to publish them with that article in the "Carinthia"[W]. I finished writing that article on the 6th February, 1835. When I was on the 7th February well nigh ready to go to my students in the college, I was moved by the spirit to write instantly a prophetical conclusion to that article. When I finished that conclusion, I hurried to be in the college. After that there was much talking among the Professors and others about the morning star which appeared on that forenoon during sunshine. I explored exactly the time, and found that the star appeared, when I commenced writing that prophetical conclusion, and disappeared, when I finished writing. I handed then that article to you, to deliver it to the editor of the Carinthia. But there occured an accident, that the article appeared later than I expected, so in the Carinthia, that the last part with the great prophecy regarding the peace of nations was published on Easter Saturday April 18, 1835, or on the Eve of the birth-day of the Emperor Ferdinand the first year of his government. His birth day was celebrated that year on Easter Sunday. An exact calculation was made by our invisible agents. The poems of two panegyrists of the birthday of the Emperor appeared in the same number immediately before our prophecy. Those two adulators were types of the two adulators, Joseph Pletz Parson of the Imperial Court, and Anthony Alosy Wolf, Prince Bishop of Laibach. These two prelates have deluded the Emperor in regard to our mission, and as a consequence terrible judgments came upon governments and nations. But this writing is connected with the Morning Star, which should be delivered by you to the young Emperor Francis Joseph and to many nations as well as the ancestors of the Emperor, who are waiting in the Empire of death for their redemption by our Message. It should be delivered by you in the midst of terrible judgments. If you have the spirit which I expect in you, you yourself will carry this letter without delay to the Emperor, and explain personally, what is necessary for his resurrection and strength. Now he belongs in the 16th verse of the 17th chapter of the Revelation. Kossuth, Mazzini and other heroes of the Revolution are preparing the Harlot for Emperors and Kings, who are fulfilling the judgments which are announced in that verse. But we to whom this victory is promised, belong to those, who are united with the lamb in the 14th verse of the 17th chapter of the Revelation and will overcome the Beast and its ten horns. To wit, we have the chain, with which the Dragon, the seducing and destroying Serpent, will be bound and cast into the abyss, Revel. xx: 2, That is the magnetic chain of events of past times in connexion with events of this time. In this chain the genuine condition of the existing political and ecclesiastical governments appears in its true light, so that, when this chain will be duly spread and made known to Nations, they will be carried from the existing Babylon into the New Jerusalem. Who ever amongst the rulers comprehends this and carries the people into the New Jerusalem, into the promised Reign of Peace, he himself and his family, as well as his departed or yet in mortal bodies living congenial relations will be brought into the true happiness; but on the contrary those rulers and who are attached to them, who despise our apostolic voice, will be exterminated. Judgement will not cease, till at length it destroys themselves also. I have given in this Epistle as many hints as are sufficient for such Bishops who are not entirely dead, to believe, when I assure them, that, in our writings it has been made clear and evident, that our chain or our system, which, for Peace of Nations, should be made known to all political and ecclesiastical Governments, is astronomically and historically correct. Therefore that of the three named bishops, who receives first this Epistle, should inform the other two of the matter and summon them to go directly with him to the Emperor. Who comprehends this, and is inspired by the Holy Ghost who is our director, for the accomplishment of Divine Decrees, is with us a messenger of God. He should as such appear before the Emperor with this Epistle, read to him the Epistle, and explain it, and summon the Emperor to become with us a messenger of God, and may he be seemingly in profit or seemingly in loss in regard to the Emperor Napoleon, to send this Epistle to Emperor Napoleon, and require instantly an armistic under the condition, that he is desirous to make immediately, with condescension, a treaty of Peace, to hear the "Messo di dio," the messenger of God, spoken of by the prophets of the Old and New Testament as well as by the prophets of the succeeding ages of the Christian Era, and to fulfil the will of the Most High for the welfare of nations. Amongst those prophecies is one of the most remarkable in the 33rd Song of Purgatory in the Divine Comedy of the great Italian Poet Dante, in which the spirit Beatrice, Dante's departed wife, speaks of the "five hundred, ten and five messenger of God," that is, of "Smolnker messenger of God."
