#140 Prophecies: Special Messenger of God to the Count of Chambord - the 'Impure Victory' of the Tricolor - the Count's Death

Marie-Julie Jahenny predicts a special messenger 'charged with the commands of the Lord' will visit the Count of Chambord, she then predicts his death and the victory of the Tricolour of the Revolution, but that death is not the end with the promise of a 'thanksgiving'. The White Flag will win in the end.

Ecstasy date March 15, 1882 –




"The prince of the earth is worthy of honour and praise because of his great confidence and the great Faith he has in his expectations, because of the whiteness that he loves and prefers to all other colours, without his heart expecting it, the Lord has reserved for him many great words of grace and power that will be delivered by a messenger of the earth, charged with the commands of the Lord. Before the tongue remains motionless, before his complete rest, (i.e., before this prince's death) the Lord has great dispatches (i.e. messages / wisdom-laden words) to drop from his mouth, under the hand of His servants, for he who has not called of God in vain, he who is not acclaimed by a true number, triumphs of impure colours they will rise in France and cause them to flutter in its entire length and width. You, friends of a great destiny, you will bring to meet him the whiteness that his heart loves so much. The wind will fly its banner and, by far, his eyes wet with tears of thanksgiving, the banner will float on his tomb on the day of his religious funeral."


:::::::::::::


Observations / explanation: this prophecy foretells Henry V, Count of Chambord's death – which occurred a year and five months later, August 24, 1883.

This prophecy by Marie-Julie Jahenny has considerable history hidden behind it, both secular and sacred, which will be broken down here sentence by sentence:

::::::::::::::::::::::

1) "The prince of the earth is worthy of honour and praise because of his great confidence and the great Faith he has in his expectations, because of the whiteness that he loves and prefers to all other colours”


This reference of 'white' is not only the colour of purity, but also a symbol of the absolute monarchy of France symbolised by the White Flag of the Fleur du Lys which features so prominently in Marie-Julie's prophecies concerning the arrival of the Henry V, the Miracle Child, the Count of Chambord, as the Great Monarch.

The White Flag is much more than a symbol. We must look back at the first King of France Clovis I to understand its significance.


Before the time Clovis came to power in the latter half of the 5th Century, Europe consisted of multiple tribal kingdoms and principalities, which included the land of the Franks (the future France). A number of these tribal kingdoms were still under pagan rule, while the majority of them were converting to Arianism, a heretical doctrine denounced centuries earlier at the first ever Ecumenical Council of the Church at Nicea 325 AD. The Arians believed that while Christ was the appointed saviour of mankind, they denied that He was of the same nature as God, declaring He was created. According to the Arians, Christ was nothing more than a highly favoured mortal man and was not divine. This reinterpretation of the Saviour was completely against the Traditional teaching of the Church upon which the Christian Faith rested, and was in fact considered an Antichrist doctrine, for according to the teachings of the Apostle St. John, those who attempted to deny the divine or the human nature of Christ were forerunners of the Antichrist, hence the condemnation of Arian doctrines by the Church. However, while the Council of Nicea declared that the divinity of Christ was an article of faith, the Arian heresy continued to spread rapidly as mentioned.


Returning to Clovis I, although not an Arian, he was still a pagan who was married to the Roman Catholic princess of Burgundy, St. Clotilde. Despite her attempts to convert him, Clovis remained sceptical of the Christian faith until threatened with war and the loss of his kingdom to the Alemanni tribes near Cologne. As tradition states, he made a pact with Christ that if he won the battle, he would become baptised.


He defeated the Alemanni and fulfilled his oath to become a Roman Catholic Christian. On his baptism Christmas Day 506 AD over which St. Remy presided, his conversion was sealed by a miracle ~ the Holy Spirit appeared in the form of a dove bringing sacred chrism for Clovis’ coronation and a lily from Heaven, a symbolic representation of the Trinity, the doctrine of which the Arians rejected. Henceforth the sign of the French monarchy became the Fleur-de-Ly.

This miracle from Heaven was of paramount importance to the establishment of the kingdom for this was no mere recurrence of the conversion of the Emperor Constantine who only saw a cross in the sky. Clovis had received heavenly-made oil, his anointing mirrored the anointing of kings as seen in the Old Testament, such as King David’s anointing by the prophet Samuel and King Solomon by Zadok the priest. Furthermore, with the appearance of the Holy Spirit, Clovis’s miraculous anointing and ascension to the throne was seen to be a metaphorical symbol of Christ’s anointing by the Holy Spirit.

P. Christian Klieger notes the tremendous impact Clovis’ conversion and anointing had on Western Europe:


“Rather than being a Roman emperor who was divine in his own right, the new universal ruler served in Christ’s stead on earth, and ruled by His right. (...) The oil brought forth by the dove was the new Palladium, the source of all legitimacy. It was to serve as the model of absolute monarchy in Western Europe until the Enlightenment. (…) While Constantine was consecrated by St. Sylvester, and later Charlemagne by Pope Leo, throughout the history of the West, only Christ and Clovis are witnessed as being anointed by a literal epiphany of the Holy Spirit.   The ‘Divine Right (of Kings)’ of all European monarchies has its origin in the anointing of Clovis. More than any other action, the baptism symbolised the fusion of Greco-Roman, German, and Judeo-Christian worlds in a new concept of universal empire. The Sacred Ampulla itself (the vessel of oil brought by the Dove) became among the most holy relics of the French monarchy, securing for the king the style, ‘Most Christian’ and ‘Eldest Son of the Church’ until the very end of the Ancien Régime. The French monarchy had become one of the great pillars of the Papacy. (...) Clovis’ embracing of orthodox Roman Catholicism was a severe blow to the Arianism of Gaul (i.e. ancient France). The Frankish king’s profession (of faith) helped establish the primacy of the Bishop of Rome in matters Christian.” - (P. Christian Klieger, The Microstates of Europe: Designer Nations in a Post-Modern World. United Kingdom: Lexington Books, 2013, pp. 139-140.)



We may ask why Clovis was so favoured with an epiphany of the Holy Spirit? Tradition also states his royal bloodline had descended from the Tribe of Judah and the House of David, and thus the Kings of France were believed to be distant descendants of Christ’s Royal House: a sign that Christ’s kingdom was indeed visibly present on earth in both the Church and in a holy secular empire established by Heaven itself.


In conclusion, the French monarchy, a blessed and divinely-favoured blood line, had saved Europe from perilous heresy and was paramount in establishing Roman Catholicism in Europe. According to the prophecies by the prophets and mystics, including Marie-Julie Jahenny, the last of this favoured royal line would also come forth out of exile in a miraculous manner to save Europe and the Church one last time before the appearance of the Antichrist.



Henry V, the Count of Chambord was the last direct descendant of the Bourbon Kings, and, also the last direct descendant of St. Louis IX. After the July Revolution of 1830, the throne was snatched from him by a usurper, but the country finally agreed to recognise him and give him the throne years later. However, Henry boldly refused their offer to become a constitutional king under the Tricolor of the Revolution that had brought in the destruction of the Ancien Regime and the persecution of the Church in France.



Fully aware of the sacred duty he had to defend the faith, and, the sacred nation of the Divine Right of Kings granted to his royal line, the Count of Chambord declared “I will never consent to be king of the Revolution.” He would not be king unless under the White Flag, which meant a restoration of the absolute monarchy and the France to become once more known as a Catholic country, not a secular state.


The government refused to give in to that demand, and Henry was forced to go into exile again – to the ridicule of the those who favored the Republic and the bewilderment of the Catholic world – he gave up the kingdom over a 'flag'? A piece of cloth?


Even today historians tend to mock the 'reluctant' pretender to the French throne all for a 'piece of cloth' – but as we know from Marie-Julie's prophecies--this was part of Heaven's plan. Our Lord revealed Henry was to be mocked for defending the White Flag and all it stood for, mocked in his kingship just as He was mocked before Herod, a usurper, and forced to wear white as a badge of mockery.


In the prophecy posted above, Heaven sees Henry's faithfulness to the White Flag, despite all mockery, despite all obstacles, even if it meant losing the throne, even to the point of death. As a result he will receive a great consolation as the next sentence shows:

::::::::::::


2)“... without his heart expecting it, the Lord has reserved for him many great words of grace and power that will be delivered by a messenger of the earth, charged with the commands of the Lord.”


I personally cannot help but think that this is a prophecy foretelling the famous visit St. John Bosco made to Henry while in exile in Frohsdorf.

In the following year after this prophecy by Marie-Julie, Henry fell gravely ill and doctors could not pinpoint the cause. Death was imminent. Devoted to St. Bosco's work, Henry had supported it, but now, he begged for the holy man to see him in person, to cure him if possible. St. John Bosco, who was so busy, refused the entreaties several times until he was presented with the a plea by Henry's eloquent messenger that St. John Bosco could no longer refuse – if St. Francis of Paola the Wonderworker could no longer refuse King Louis XI's pleas to see him by his deathbed out of charity's sake, how could he refuse such a request to the royal descendant who pleads for the same charity?

(As a side-note which is fascinating: St. Francis of Paola had astounding predictions concerning the Great Monarch's future rule, and, St. John Bosco had a prophetic dream of the Warrior Great King as well!)


At last, St. John Bosco went and arrived in Frohsdorf mid July 1883, and, it is reported they privately spoke at length – he told him that he had a feeling this sickness would not end in death, and to pray to Our Lady Help of Christians if he wished to be cured However, he must be prepared to accept whatever God sends:


(…) St. John Bosco's expressions of hope were always followed by the thought that life and death are in the hands of God, King of kings and Lord of lords, and that everyone, small and great, had to conform to His inscrutable will. A man of lively faith, solidly religious, the count (Henry) fully agreed, and said that, if Divine Providence should enable him to continue to serve France, he would not refuse the task, but if it pleased God to call him to eternity, he was in every way and in everything submissive to the divine decree. Such holy sentiments of the count and the edifying virtue of the countess left Don Bosco deeply moved” (The Biographical Memoirs of Saint John Bosco by Rev. Eugenio Ceria, S.D.B., Salesiana Publishers, New York, 1882, p. 292)


To the amazement of Henry's court and the public at large, Henry immediately began to improve. It was declared a miracle and attributed to St. John Bosco and the intercession of Our Lady Help of Christians. However, Henry, who had a love for hunting refused to stay in bed one day and while not yet while not yet fully recovered he injured his health when his hunting rifle recoiled into his sensitive stomach on August 4. He grew ill and died not long after.


This sudden turn of events was a shock – St. John Bosco was pressed for an answer, and even he seemed perturbed by the event:



“One day Father [Charles] Bellarny's asked Don Bosco how he could have asserted that the count's illness was not unto death, although the count died. He repeated his question three times, and only on the last did he get an answer. Don Bosco, somewhat annoyed, replied, "God gave him back his health for France and not for himself, nor to go hunting.... His place was in France. The countess always kept him from going there because she feared a recurrence of the horrors of 1793.... The specter of the scaffold terrified her." Perhaps from these words we may rightly infer that Don Bosco too, along with so many other Church leaders, did not go along with the prince's scruples concerning the flag . (…)” (The Biographical Memoirs of St. John Bosco, p. 279)



St. John Bosco could not understand this reversal, nor why Henry should remain so adamant in staying true to the White Flag and lose the throne in the process, it appears that spiritual knowledge was not given to him concerning this despite having a prophetic dream regarding the Warrior Great Monarch and a 'White Banner', but Marie-Julie Jahenny's prophecies shows, Heaven was pleased with Henry for his devotion to the Flag, and, that she foretold beforehand by a year and a half that Henry was to be given the consolation to prepare for death via the 'messenger of the earth' who came charged with 'commands from the Lord'. As we saw, Henry was so prepared to accept death if it came that it even moved St. John Bosco who come to console him.



She also foretold that after Henry's death, the 'impure colours' would flutter under across all of France, and indeed, Henry's death sealed France's temporary fate as a Republic under the Tricolor.



  1. ... Before the tongue remains motionless, before his complete rest, (i.e., before this prince's death) the Lord has great dispatches (i.e. messages / wisdom-laden words) to drop from his mouth, under the hand of His servants, for he who has not called of God in vain, he who is not acclaimed by a true number, triumphs of impure colours they will rise in France and cause them to flutter in its entire length and width.





The odd thing about this prophecy is that it not only predicts his death, but there will be tears of thanksgiving – when friends of a great destiny will bring the white flag to him. We have a present prophecy, and one of a future thanksgiving, then of a present death:


  1. You, friends of a great destiny, you will bring to meet him the whiteness that his heart loves so much. The wind will fly its banner and, by far, his eyes wet with tears of thanksgiving, the banner will float on his tomb on the day of his religious funeral."


Why this odd flipping back and forth between the present, the future 'thanksgiving' and then back to the present 'tomb'?


Because Marie-Julie Jahenny has left us clues throughout her prophecies – clues and direct revelations that ALL her prophecies STILL refer to Henry V the 'Miracle Child', and that can be no other than the Count of Chambord, Henry V the 'Miracle Child'. In fact Heaven told her so, that ALL the prophecies refer to him. The very fact she was told she would not see his reign until AFTER SHE WAS IN HEAVEN, (she died in 1941), means death is not the end of him. He will come some time after the 'Pillar of Mud' is swept away, (i.e. President Sarkozy of France?) for she was told he will be RETURNED to his subjects, he will come during a time of wonders that will resemble Good Friday and the Day of Judgement, (the dead will rise), that the Lily will RESURRECT, (the King was also literally described as 'the lily' in a prophecy of hers), and that there will be many resurrections when the France is restored for the Age of Peace.


The Count was born on St. Michael's day, and notice the future prophecy he gave to Marie-Julie Jahenny for September 6, 1890:


St. Michael: “ … Let them say and affirm to men that he will never return. Listen to them and ask them if they are prophets! (…) The one who waits, it is the one that they call the miracle child. This kingdom has not yet known his name, (i.e. France refused to officially recognise 'Henry V' as king), but much later it will know the depths of his heart. He is reserved for the great epochs."
