Description
Original World War I era religious ephemera tract connecting Kaiser Wilhelm to the “Number of the Beast” from Revelation Chapter 13. Features typed biblical passages alongside numerological calculations spelling “KAISER” totaling 666.
The tract references the outbreak of World War I in July 1914 and predicts the war would end in January 1918 after “42 months,” corresponding to the biblical prophecy discussed in the text. Because the war ultimately continued into late 1918, the document appears to have been created during the war itself rather than as a later retrospective reproduction.
Likely produced as a small-run evangelical, revival, or church-distributed wartime religious handout rather than a mass commercial publication. The thin translucent paper stock, typewritten formatting, and homemade layout are consistent with locally distributed WWI religious and prophetic ephemera of the period.
An unusual crossover piece appealing to collectors of:
• WWI ephemera
• Kaiser Wilhelm memorabilia
• Revelation 13 / 666 material
• Biblical prophecy tracts
• Religious ephemera
• Wartime anti-Kaiser messaging
• Apocalyptic and occult-related paper collectibles
