As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
She came to life on the right banks of the Moldau on Vysehrad or in Greek, the Acropolis or the High Hill. It was there on the higher castle, that Crocus or Krok began to rule the Bohemian Slavs in what would become the furthest outpost of Prague.
Krok had no sons, but three daughters, Kazi, Teta and Libussa, the youngest. It would be Libussa who would rise to the throne of her father and with womanly strength and virtue, win the admiration of all the people for just and chasteness.
Libussa was a soothesayer, which is a gift of this people and region, coming down to the Catholic oracles of the end of the world. She it was who foretold of the greatness to which Prague would arise.
Libussa was in judgment between two noble brothers over their inheritance, where the one who was judged against berated her, as he pitied a people who would be ruled by a woman. Upon hearing this, she dismissed the people and told them to reassemble the next day to pick a husband for her, who would then rule Bohemia.
The people would not accept the judgment and instead required their Queen to pick her choice, and in prophecy, Libussa, pointed to the distant hills and said that a farm on the river Belina, they would find their future king, ploughing with two oxen, which she described.
His name was Premsyl, and it was he that Libussa said would produce a line of rulers who would rule over these people always.
She told the people to follow her horse, as the horse would lead the way to Premsyl, and upon the envoys finding him, saluted him as their king, and returned to castle hill where he was betrothed to Libussa.
Until 1306 AD in the year of our Lord, the Premsyl line ruled Bohemia, and until the time of Franz Joseph, the Libussa maternal line ruled thereafter.
The Queen founded Prague proper where the River Vlava encircles a prominent bit of land. Here Libussa upon that rock in front of her husband and elders, uttered her Prague prophecy of it's coming greatness. Prague would then be known as "The Mistress of Bohemia".
Good King Wenceslas of the infamous Christian song, was of Prague Bohemia, and one of the most prominent of her Christian monarchs. Of interest in this, Heinrich I of Germany gave the Church building to his namesake Prince Wenseslas, the Christian relic of the arm of St. Vitus, and the Prince laid the foundation of the Cathedral.
Vitus was the Christian martyr who perished around 300 AD in the year of our Lord.
Wenseslas was murdered by his younger brother Boleslav in 935 AD, and in 939 his remains were buried in the Cathedral, which laid the throne for one of the most powerful of Bohemian kings, in Boleslva I.
In 1235 AD, the Good King of the song appeared, and with it Germans migrated to the right bank of Prague and settled there. Much favored they would be later driven out like the Jews.
Ottokar II was the king who gave Bohemia her grandest diplomatic, military and land expansion. It was he who built fortified Prague.
It was said that after the fall of Jerusalem, a large group of Jewish exiles settled in Prague after 70 AD in the year of our Lord. The Jewish cemetary there is proof this element was in Prague for some long time in the shadow of the mighty Slavs.
The death of Ottokar in battle to Rudolph of Hapsburg ended the original male lines, and following weak kings and constant warfare, it would be John of Luxemborg, son of King Heinrich VII of Germany who would rule Bohemia.
King John would die a Crécy, and his son, Charles I of Bohemia would rule. Charles would lay the foundation stones to expand Prague once again.
In his reign, he would build Churches and Universities as a most devout Christian leader.
Prague experienced in 1358 AD in the year of our Lord a reformation, with Charles asking Conrad Waldhauser to preach there. The Tyn Cathedral could not hold his audiences as he scolded the people of Prague on their luxury and immorality. In what was even more than a Ninevah event, the rich of Prague discarded their gems, jewelry and finery, for simple clothing and many sinners gave public pennance in repenting.
Waldhauser then took on the Dominicans and Augustines in Prague, and was denounced twice for trail, but prevailed from the heresy edge of death.
Milic of Kromerize would follow Waldhauser in his office, and was imprisoned in Rome, but later released by Pope Urban, where Milic's Apocolypse preaching of the end times and the anti christ gained him a great deal of attention.
John Hus or Husinec would be the third great Christian preacher of Prague and his name would found the Hussite movement of the 1400's which wold be in bitter struggle with the Papists.
Hus was imprisoned and burned alive on July 6th, 1415 AD in the year of our Lord by the Papists.
This would be a convulsive 100 plus years period in Crusades to liberate the Holy Land, John Wycliffe in England at odds with Rome, Joan of Arc at odds with the English and French and not protected by Rome, John Hus in the east in Prague being burned alive like St. Joan and the 1500 era sledgehammer which brought about the Protestants in Martin Luther of Germany.
The crushing blow on Prague reformation would be unleashed from Sigisund, brother of Wenseles who invaded Bohemia and started a many nation Crusade against Prague. The army was numbered 150,000 which encircled the city.
The Hus Christians though refused to doubt Scripture and where God would destroy Assyrian Sennecherib, then God would stand by them. Interestingly, these Bohemian Christians were speaking of the same army, as these Germanics were Assyrian exiles.
When the four battles of Prague were finished, it was the Hus Christians who had prevailed over the massed army of the Holy Roman Empire arrayed against them.
Sigisund would follow with another great assault much later on Prague, but in this Krusina, a Hus Christian went to the breach and called to his people:
"‘Dear brethren! turn back again and be to-day brave knights in Christ’s battle, for it is God’s, not our fight, that we are fighting to-day. You will see for sure that God will deliver all His and our enemies into our hands."
Immediately Sigisund's army fled the field. The slaughter of Morovian nobles in heavy armour was great.
This was the beginning of the end of the grand dominion of Prague though over Bohemia, as intrigue prevailed with the murder of John of Zelivo by the city council. Priest John was lured to council as head of the anarchists or ultra democrats seeking complete autonomy from Rome and whatever noble was attempting to subjegate them.
He was seized, allowed to confess, and then beheaded.
His head was shown to the citizens who immediately rioted, beheaded the council member and razed the Jewish section of the city.
It then fell to another Sigismund of Lithuana, nephew of the King of Poland to restore order, but civil strife and war ensued in the Hussite Wars. Rome having been defeated at the last crusade at Trauss, was not inclined to suffer more defeat in fighting the Bohemian Christians.
This then became not a Catholic vs. Christian war, but an aristocracy vs democracy war, and in this next round of conflict the noblemen won at Plzen. Sigismund was again pronounced king with promises of concessions on religious matters.
A strange sort of Catholic rule followed in Prague, which culiminated in 1483 AD in the year of our Lord, Tomasek, led a Prague custom of rioting where the burgomaster was thrown out of the window of the city hall. Others followed suit and slaughtered the Papist rulers.
This cleansing of Catholic noble rule brought autonomy to Prague to 1547 AD.
This then brought about the era of Lutheranism for the Prague Protestors, who saw Lutheranism persecuted, exiled and then brought back. This then led to Prague being drawn into the Charles V and his brother Ferdinand's war against German Lutherans in cleansing them from Saxony.
Charles had asked for levies from the estates for a war with the Turks. The levies when assembled found they were not going to be fighting Muslims, but Lutherans and many of them evaporated from the field.
The Bohemians being comprised now chiefly of Protestants.
Ferdinand again called for the arming of Bohemians for war against Christians, and the Bohemians responded with a mob gathering, declaring they would decide if they would decide on important issues and called for an unConstitutional gathering of the estates to deal with matters.
The King was not amused and attempted to stop the gathering, but the Bohemians met, formed a Confederacy and declared religious liberty, the elected character of the Bohemian throne and moved to negotiations with the Lutheran leaders of Germany and form an army.
With defeat of the Protestant Germans, the Bohemians were subjegated cruelly by Ferdinand who confiscated the Bohemian lands and disarmed them. The tide of reformation though held his son Maximillian as the new king of Bohemia upon his father's death, and Maximillian was sympathetic to the Protestants.
Maximillian's son, Rudolph, was coronated King of Bohemia, and resided in Prague to it's great ascension to all she would become. Under Libussa, Prague was a city of wood, which became a capital of marble. Rudolph though hating affairs of state and loving the arts, turned Prague into a city of gold.
As time went on the Protestants rose again against the puppets of the Jesuits, and threw more leaders from windows who survived, and were claimed miracles by the Catholics.
In electing a new King, the Bohemians chose Frederick, son in law of James I of England. He was popular, but made no efforts to become Bohemian. The break took place when his Calvinists convinced him to remove the altars and paintings at St. Vitus Cathedral. The Lutherans, Ultraquists and Romanists were equally not amused at English reformation.
Frederick's wife, Queen Elizabeth, compounded more problems in not speaking the language, not appeasing the ladies of the kingdom, not having set hours for meals and prayers, and that she and her English consorts all had low cut dresses exposing their cleavage.
The Catholic Austrians then invaded Bohemia and the Bohemian army and allies almost vanished. What followed was the wholesale extermination by the Catholic Emperor of Bohemian nobles on June 21st, 1621 AD in the year of our Lord.
Mass beheadings with heads on display on the bridge tower of Prague to the nailing of the tongue of one victim upon the gallows were the spoils of the victors.
The victims were ordered whipped with rods until they reached the city gates. In sentencing, the hands of Divis Cernin, captain of Hradcany Castle, who protected the Protestants, Count Slik, Bohuslav Michalovic were to be cut off before execution and the tongue of Jessinius, rector of Prague University and a great orator was to have his tongue cut out.
Three Lutheran Ministers were allowed to minister to the condemned before execution. Count Slik was martyred first with the following words spoken by him in Faith:
‘I am before the tribunal of the world, and expect immediate death. But those who have judged me will have to appear before the awful tribunal of Him who will judge more justly.
I go before you that I may first see the glory of God, the glory of our beloved Redeemer; but I await you directly after me; in this hour grief already vanishes, and a new heartfelt and eternal happiness begins .’
With that the heinous butchery of the Roman Empire began in Bohemia.
Prague in the 17th and 18th century was cleansed of her Christian Bohemian past and covered over with the shroud of Jesuit architecture. There she remained until the great victory of Gustavus Adolphus' in the Thirty Year War with his Saxon allies at Breitenfeld in 1831 AD in the year of our Lord.
The Bohemian exiles returned and after hundreds of years, their first action was to remove the 12 skulls of the Patriots still on display in the bridge tower and have them buried in Tyn's Church. By May, Wallenstein's army pushed back and the Saxons evacuated Bohemia, but took with them the greater share of Rudolph's art collection which was secured to Dresden.
With that Bohemia became an Austrian province under absolute rule.
From Frederick the Great to the World Wars, Prague was battered and exchanged by armies. That last remaining prophecy though of the Bohemian's themselves still awaits a vanishing point or a point which Prague will vanish.
The oracle speaks of a third world war in modern times, when Prague will be leveled. When she will no longer be inhabited and the handful of refugees who return will plough her for crops again as in the days before Libussa rose her from a wilderness to one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
I wonder of Prague and the Slavs who have been traded and butchered too much. How Vladimir Putin of Russia in being waged against by the cartel powers of the west, grasps at Ukraine and how all the old intrigues come into play again in Romania, Serbia, Bohemia, Poland and Bavaria as the ghosts of the Prussian laments for their lands vanquished.
The line again becomes Slavic Prague, the detonation point Serbia and the western line forms on the old Israelite Anglo Saxon Reubenite allied peoples.
If Vladimir Putin keeps as Christian protector of Slavs, the anti Christ war is at Har Megiddo north of Jerusalem. If he does not, the fire line will purge from Scandinavia, through the low lands, to the French and German frontier to the Adriatic awashed in a nuclear tidal wave surge, where vanquished Russia reaches revolution and Putin assassinated, with all of Europe a poisoned land.
Oh Prague, I see our pyres ascending over your ruin becoming clear, but hope for the shadows to close over you to hide under the light of saving wings.
‘Where is my house? where is my home?
Streams among the meadows creeping,
Brooks from rock to rock are leaping,
Everywhere bloom spring and flowers
Within this paradise of ours;
There, ’tis there, the beauteous land!
Bohemia, my fatherland!
Where is my house? where is my home?
Knowst thou the country loved of God,
Where noble souls in well-shaped forms reside,
Where the free glance crushes the foeman’s pride?
There wilt thou find of Cechs, the honoured race,
Among the Cechs be aye my dwelling-place.’
