STARTLING PROPHECY.

TE WHITI ON THE EUKOPEAN SITUATION.

Our Onehunga correspondent baa inter, viewed the native chief Parahi, of Pukake, who has just returned, per s.s. Gairloch, from the Parihaka March meeting. Our friend Parahi, who, as readers may remember, was the leader of the Mangere ploughing obstruction some two years ago, is a disciple of Te Whiti, and a staunch believer in his fanatical prophecies. He states that Te Whiti has sent forth an edict to the effect that there is not the slightest chance of a war in Europe; that the concentration of the Russian forces on the different frontiers is merely an exhibition of the strength of that nation, but that Russia's idea of war is all maminga, and this warlike display is only intended to arouse the energy and watchfulness of all nations for the coming of Christ, which is to take place in the year 1889 (next year) ; that the present reigning monarehs of all countries, all Governors of colonies, and Presidents of Republics will die at once —the Emperor William of Germany being1 the first on the list; and that the world will be ruled by one king only, viz., the King of Kings. The prophet further says •' That Ireland, is quite right in the action taken by her people, but their grievance will be settled next year on the coming of Christ, as He will cause Land Courts to be held in Ireland, and will have the land equally divided amongst the people. ' In proof of these prophecies Parahi is to fetch our reporter over his Paipera and Kawenata, and point out in thft Book of David pass sages confirmatory of all Te Whiti has stated on the subject. Te Whiti is to receive timely notice as to the exact day of Christ's coming, and Parahi has promised to communicate the information to the Auckland Star in time for publication on the evening previous.
