The Election Of The Permanent President Of The European Council Is The First Head To Sprout On Such A Monster As Never Seen Before ~ Dante Alighieri

Dante’s prophetic vision of the whore (una puttana) along side giant (un gigante) seated in the chariot representing the usurpation of the Divinely Ordained Authority of the Holy Roman Emperor by the envy of the papacy (whore) and secular man-made authority (giant)


Thus transformed, the holy edifice
put forth heads on all its parts,
three on the shaft and one at every corner--
the first three bore horns like oxen, the others
had a single horn upon their foreheads--
such a monster as never seen before.
Secure, like a fortress on a towering mountain,
I saw a disheveled harlot sitting there,
casting provocative glances this way and that.
I saw a giant who stood beside her,
perhaps to prevent her being taken from him.
They kissed each other again and again.
But because she turned on me
her lustful, roving eye, that savage lover
thrashed her body from head to foot.
Then, full of suspicion and cruel in his rage,
he unhitched the monster and dragged it through the wood
so far that the wood itself now screened
the harlot and the strange brute from my sight.
Purgatory xxxii

With last nights election of the first European Union permanent President the world will now witness the coming fulfillment of Dante’s prophetic vision of the first head to sprout on such a monster as never seen before.

North America
South America

Asia
Africa
Australia
Antarcitca

The Europe Union President Herman Van Rompuy is this first head to sprout. Six more to follow.
