AUSTRALIA IN PROPHECY!
"Let the heavens, the earth, the waters with all their creatures,
and those present,witness that I, Captain Pedro Ferdinand de Quiros...
in the name of Jesus Christ...hoist this emblem of the holy cross on which
His person was crucified and whereon He gave His life for the ransom and
remedy of all the human race...on this day of Pentecost, 14th May....
I take possession of all this part of the south as far as the pole
in the name of Jesus...which from now on shall be called
the southern land of the Holy Ghost...and this always and forever...and to the end that to all natives,
in all the said lands,the holy and sacred evangel may be preached zealously and openly."
BY PEDRO FERDINAND DE QUIROS
Day of Pentecost, 14th May, 1606 |
