CENTURIA VI · QUATRAIN XX
The New Leopard
L'union faincte sera peu de duree,
Des uns changes reformes la pluspart:
Dans les vaissaulx sera gent enduree,
Lors aura Rome un nouveau liepart.
The feigned union will be of little duration,
of the ones changed, reformed for the most part:
in the vessels will be people endured,
then Rome will have a new leopard.
THE MASTER SAYS…
From your point of view, he says that this relates to the near future, to the end of the 20th century. The feigned union implies true friendship between the United States and the Soviet Union. They will only begin to strengthen this friendship and build it when the Antichrist begins to ruin everything. You mean that this will be a real friendship? Yes, but it will still be at an initial stage. And if not for the intervention of the Antichrist, it could have developed much further. He said that the people suffering on ships symbolize the warring forces of the United States and the Soviet Union, trying to fight the Antichrist on ships, submarines, tanks, airplanes, and so on. And “when a new ‘Leopard’ appears in Rome” refers to the time when there will be a new pope. They interpreted the leopard as a symbol of the Roman Pope, but said that it could also mean the English lion. Then we will make progress in relations with the Soviet Union, but other events will hinder this and stop the process. He said that progress will be made and will look promising for the peoples involved, but will be interrupted by the Antichrist.
