AD 992 A rumour
that the end would come when the feast of the
Annunciation coincided with Good Friday. This happened in 992, when
Easter fell on March 22, and eager calculators established that the
world would end before three years had passed. --Apoc pg 50-51
AD 1000 Christian
authority all over the known world predicted the
second coming in the year 1000.
AD 1033 When the
world did not end in 1000, the same Christian
authorities claimed they had forgotten to add in the length of Jesus'
life and revised the prediction to 1033. The writings of the Burgundian
monk Radulfus Glaber described a rash of mass hysterias during the
period from 1000-1033.
AD 1033 The roads
to Jerusalem fill up with an unprecedented number of
pilgrims. Asked why this is happening, the 'more truthful of that
time...cautiously responded that it presaged nothing else but the
coming of the Lost One, the Antichrist, who, according to divine
authority, stands ready to come at the end of the age." --TIME pg 47
AD 1100 Guibert
of Nagent (1064-1125) informed would-be crusaders that
they should seize Jerusalem as a necessary prelude to its eventual
capture by Antichrist. "The end of the world is already near!," he
explained. --TIME pg 61-62
AD 1184 Various
Christian prophets predicted the end of the world in
the year 1184. Nobody seems to remember just why.
AD 1186 Certain
prophecies, during the time of the Third Crusade, began
circulating in 1184, telling of a "new world
order." These were believed to
have been written by astrologers in
Spain, and one of them, the "Letter of Toledo," appearing in 1186,
urged everyone to flee to caves and other remote places, because the
world was soon to be devastated by terrible storms, famine,
earthquakes, and more. Only a few true belivers would be spared. --SSA
pg 55
AD 1260 The year,
according to Joachim of Flores'(c1145-1202)
prophecies, when the world was supposed to pass throught the reign of
Antichrist and enter the Age of the Holy Spirit. Joachim was an Italian
mystic theologian who wrote, in his Expositio in Apocalypsia, that
history was to be divided into three ages: The Age of the Law (the
Father), The Age of the Gospel (the Son), and the final Age of the
Spirit. He had indicated at the end of the 12th Century that the
Antichrist was already born in Rome. --DOOM pg 87, TEOTW pg 125
AD 1260 A
Dominican monk named Brother Arnold gained a following when
he wrote that the end was about to take place. According to his
scenario, he would call upon Christ, in the name of the poor, to judge
the Church leaders, including the Pope. Christ would then appear in
judgement, revealing the Pope to be the heralded Antichrist. --SSA pg
56
AD 1297 Writing
in 1297, the friar Petrus Olivi predicted Antichrist's
coming between 1300 and 1340, after which the world would enter the Age
of the Holy Spirit, which itself would end around the year 2000 with
Gog and the Last Judgement. --Apoc pg 54
AD 1284 Pope
Innocent III predicted the end of the world in the year
1284, 666 years after the founding of Islam.
Ad 1290 When
Joachim of Fiore's predicted end of the world had not
happened by 1260, members of his order (the Joachites) simply
re-scheduled the end another 30 years later to 1290.
AD 1300 A
Frenchman, Jean de Roquetaillade, published a guide to the
tribulation. Imprisoned for most of his adult life, he predicted
Antichrist in 1366, to be followed in 1369 or 1370 by a millennial
Sabbath. Jerusalem, under a Jewish king, would become the center of the
world. --Apoc pg 55
AD 1300 Many
Germans were living in fearful expectation of the return
of the Emperor Frederick II, who had been considered a century earlier
as the Antichrist, the terrible ruler who was to chastise the Church
before the return of Christ.
AD 1306 Gerard of
Poehlde, believing that Christ's Millennium actually
began when the emperor Constantine came to power,
predicts the end
of the world 1000 years after the start of
Constantine's reign, in 1306.
AD 1307 fra
Dolcino founds a society, the Apostolic Bretheren, in 1260.
He preached that authority had passed from the Roman Church to
themselves. The Pope and clergy would soon be exterminated by the
forces of the Last Empoeror in a tremendous battle leading to the age
of the spirit. Dolcino and his followers perished in a battle at Monte
Rebello in 1307. --TIME pg 68
AD 1335 The
Joachites again re-scheduled the end of the world, this
time to the year 1335.
AD 1348 Agnolo di
Tura, called "the Fat," writing during the time of
the Black Death: "And I...buried my five children with my own hands,
and so did many others likewise...And nobody wept no matter what his
loss because almost everyone expected death... People said and
believed, 'This is the end of the world.'" --TEOTW pg 115
AD 1349 The group
known as the Flagellants claimed that their movement
must last thirty-three and a half years, culminating in the Second
Coming. They persuaded many people that their assertions were true. One
chronicle states: "Many persons, and even young children, were soon
bidding farewell to the world, some with prayers, others with praises
on their lips." --TEOTW 125-129
AD 1366 Jean de
Roquetaillade, a French ascetic, predicted the
Antichrist was to come in 1366, with the end of the world a few years
after that.
AD 1367 Czech
archdeacon Militz of Kromeriz claimed the Antichrist was
alive and well and would show up no later than 1367, bringing the end
of the world with him.
AD 1378 The
Joachites again re-scheduled the end of the world, this
time to the year 1378.
AD 1420 Martinek
Hauska, near Prague, led a following of priests to
announce the soon Second Coming of Christ. They warned everyone to flee
to the mountains because between February 1 and February 14, 1420, god
was to destroy every town with Holy Fire, thus beginning the
Millennium. Hauska's band then went on a rampage to "purify the earth",
ridding the world of, in their eyes, false clergymen in the Church.
They occupied an abandoned fortress which was named Tabor, and defied
the religious powers of the day, ultimately succumbing to the Bohemians
in 1452 --SSA pg 56, TIME pg 75-77
AD 1476 Hans Bohm
was burnt at the stake for heresy, after proclaiming
the village of Nikleshausen the center of imminent world salvation.
--Apoc pg 151
