A German mystic named Christian Armbruster penned this apocalyptic work first published in Germany in either 1813 or 1814. The author predicts the immanent end of days by comparing current events at that time i.e. the rise of the Emperor Napoleon to the prophecies in the Book of Revelation and in the Book of Daniel. Armbruster makes much use of dates and numerical mysticism. American editions of his book contain a frontispiece of a seven headed dragon and are falsely attributed to the more famous mystic Heinrich Jung-Stilling.
