"These things shall inexorably come to pass,
all in succession.
"Things follow too slowly upon each other,
but the great Queen of Heaven is at hand; the Lord's power is Hers. Like mist
She shall scatter Her enemies.
She shall vest the Venerable Old Man [Pope] with all his former garments.
"There shall yet come a violent hurricane. Iniquity is at an end, sin shall
cease, and before two full moons shall have shone in the month of flowers, the rainbow of peace shall appear on the earth.
"The great Minister shall see the Bride of
his King clothed in glory.
"Throughout the world a sun so bright shall
shine as was never seen
since the flames of the Cenacle until today, nor shall it be seen again until
the end of time."Prophecy of St John Bosco in 1870.
This prophecy speaks of a future two moons in one month which is what is known as a blue moon. This year (2018) we had two blue moons in January and March with no new moon in February. The next time we have this will be in 2037. Some people have speculated that the month of flowers is in March others think that the month of flowers refers to May. I personally think May is the likely candidate for the month of flowers.
The next blue moon that occurs in May is in 2026. It would seem that this month of a blue moons is preceded by a rainbow of peace. Thus it seems to be alluding to the fact that the great hurricane or tribulation and chastisement will be completed before May 2026. The prophecy in the first part speaks of the problems of France and then the rise of the man who will become the Great Monarch and of the Venerable Old Man of Rome (Lazio) who will anoint him as the New Holy Roman Emperor.
If the seven years of tribulation ends before May 2026 then the first year of the tribulation may be in 2019. Thus if the tribulation year starts with the Jewish festival of Rosh ha Shanah (Jewish New Year) then it may start on the 9th of September 2018. If it begins on the religious new year of Nisan 1 then it will begin on April 6 2019.
Don Bosco states that the war will begin in the south and peace will come from the north. He then moves on to discuss the fate of France and Paris and then Rome. It is after these things that the warrior Prince will arise and become allied with the Pope. The prophecy also alludes to the imprisonment of the Pope. This prophecy also alludes to the Rabbis (Chair of Moses) leading their Jewish flock into better spiritual pastures due to the tribulations occurring with the Catholic bishops (shepherds) and flocks.

"War will come from the south, peace from the north.
"The laws of France no longer recognize the
Creator. The Creator will reveal Himself by visiting her three times with the
scourge of His wrath. The
first time He will destroy her pride by defeat, pillage, and destruction of
crops, cattle, and men. On His
second visit the great whore of Babylon, which the faithful grievingly call
Europe's brothel, shall lose her leader and fall prey to chaos.
"Paris! Paris! Instead of fortifying
yourself with the Lord's name, you surround yourself with houses of ill repute.
You yourself shall destroy them; your idol, the Pantheon, will be razed to the
ground, so that it may
truthfully be said that 'iniquity has lied to itself.' [Ps. 26,12] Your enemies
will plunge you into anguish, famine, terror, and the contempt for My law, says
the Lord.
"On My third visit, you shall fall under the
foreign yoke. From afar your enemies will see your palaces in flames, your home
in ruins, soaked in the blood of your heroes who are no more.
"But behold, a great warrior from the north
appears, a banner in his
right hand, his arm bearing this inscription: 'Irresistible is the hand of the
Lord.' At that moment the
Venerable Old Man of Rome went forward to meet him, wielding a flaming torch. The banner then grew larger and its
blackness became white as snow;
in its center stood out the name of the Almighty in golden letters.
"The warrior and his followers bowed profoundly to the Venerable Old Man and joined hands
with him.
"Now
the voice of Heaven is addressed to the Shepherd of Shepherds.
You are in solemn conference with your co-workers but the enemy of good never stands
idle. He cunningly plots and sets all his wiles against you. He will sow
discord among your helpers and will rear enemies among My sons. The
powers of the world shall vomit fire. They would love to smother My words in
the throats of the guardians of My law, but they shall not succeed. They shall do much harm, but only to
themselves. Hurry! If knots cannot be untied, sever them. Do not halt in the
face of difficulties, but go forth until the hydra of error has been beheaded. At this blow earth and hell shall tremble, but he
world will be saved and the
faithful shall exult. Gather around you only two co-workers, yet wherever you
go, carry on the task
entrusted to you and bring it to completion. Days go by swiftly and your years are
reaching their appointed number,
but the great Queen shall always assist you, and, as in the past, She shall
always be magnum et singulare in Ecclesia praesidium [the powerful,
prodigious defense of the Church].
"But you, O Italy, land of blessings, who
has plunged you into desolation? Not your enemies, but your own friends. Do you
not hear your children begging for the bread of faith, unable to find one to
break it for them? What shall I do? I shall strike the shepherds and scatter
the sheep so that those who sit upon the chair of Moses may seek better
pastures and their flock may gently listen and be fed.
"But My hand shall be heavy upon both flock
and shepherds. Famine, plague, and war shall cause mothers to mourn the blood
of their sons and husbands shed on foreign soil.
"What shall befall you, ungrateful,
effeminate, proud Rome? You have reached a point when you seek and admire
nought in your sovereign but
luxury, forgetting that both your glory and his lies on Golgotha. Now he is
old, frail, defenseless, and dispossessed.
Nevertheless, though captive, his words cause the whole world to tremble.
"O Rome! Four times shall I come to you! The first time I shall smite your
regions and its people. The second time I shall bring slaughter and destruction
to your very gates. Should not that make you open your eyes? A third time shall
I come, and I will demolish your defenses and defenders. At My Father's
command, terror, dismay, and desolation will reign.
"My wise followers flee, but My law is still trod
underfoot. Therefore, I
shall come a fourth time.
Woe to you if My law again shall go unheeded. There shall be defections among
both learned and ignorant. Your blood and that of your children shall wipe out your transgressions.
"War, plague, and famine are the scourges to
smite human pride and malice. Where are your magnificent villas and palaces, you people of
wealth? They have become the litter of squares and
streets!
"And you priests, why are you not prostrate
between the vestibule and the altar, weeping and praying that the scourge may
cease? Why do you not take
up the shield of faith and preach My Word from the rooftops, in the houses,
streets, and squares, and even in inaccessible places? Do you not know that
this is the terrible two-edged sword which smites My enemies and placates the
wrath of God and man?"
Does this prophecy allude to the three wars that will hit France and Italy? The first one referring to World War One and the second to World War Two and the third to World War Three in which France is invaded by the Muslims. It would seem the visitations of Rome also refer to the Three World Wars but Rome has a fourth visitation. The third occurs in the first part of the tribulation period and the fourth in the second period of the tribulation.
It is only after the destruction of Paris by fire in the third visitation that the Great Monarch will take leadership. It is interesting that Don Bosco refers to the Pope as having a flaming torch. The Jewish term for a Pope is Apifyor which is connected to the concept of one who leads with a flaming torch.
