Infant graves in the nunneries? (Garibaldi, The Rule of the Monk, 2 vols., 1870, vol. 1)

Type: a quote
Sub-type: a historic event (1849)
Relevance: prophecy
Text: "Neither shall he regard ... the desire of women..." Daniel 11:37... speaking of the dishonoring of marriage by the King of the North/Papacy/Roman Catholic church.

[...] Let them remember that in the year 1848, when a Republican Government was established in France—which was the signal of a general revolutionary movement throughout Europe—and the present Pope (Pius the 9th, 1846 to 1878) was forced to escape in the disguise of a menial, while a National Government granted, for the first time in Rome, religious toleration, one of the first orders of the Roman republic was that the nuns should be liberated, and the convents searched. Giuseppe Garibaldi, in 1849, then recently arrived in Rome, visited in person every convent, and was present during the whole of the investigations. In all, without an exception, he found instruments of cruelty; and in all, without an exception, were vaults, plainly dedicated to the reception of the bones of infants. Statistics prove that in no city is there so great a number of children born out of wedlock as in Rome; and it is in Rome also that the greatest number of infanticides take place.
  This must ever be the case with a wealthy unmarried priesthood and a poor and ignorant population.
Garibaldi, Giuseppe, The Rule of the Monk, 2 vols., London and New York: Cassell, Petter, and Galpin, 1870, vol. 1, pp. 29-30.

Type: a quote Sub-type:  mythology (c. 1894) Relevance:  Genesis - the Beginning Text:  "And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. ... And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark."

The Structure (or Message) of Daniel 2-7: A Weapon for Our Times

Image
Type: a study Relevance: prophecy Text: (Please read all of the Book of Daniel! ) Recall the contents of the 12 chapters of the book of Daniel. (Perhaps the above image will help you remember by providing a few hints.) Fact: the Book of Daniel is written in two languages! Why? Roughly speaking, chapters 1 and 8-12 are in Hebrew and chapters 2-7 are in Aramaic. Why though? Is it an accident? Does it indicate multiple authorship? Why? Is there method/purpose in the construction of the Book of Daniel? Yes! Focusing on chapters 2-7. Notice the chronological order of the chapters of Daniel 2-7. Chapter 2 occurs first , in Nebuchadnezzar's 2nd year. Chapter 3 occurs second , as this chapter's golden statue is a rebellious act, on Nebuchadnezzar's part, in response to the statue of Daniel 2. Chapter 4 occurs third , as it is the climax of Nebuchadnezzar's life... his conversion story! Chapter 7 occurs fourth , in the 1st year of Nebuchadnezzar...
