Dear Nicholas.
I'm neither supersitious nor believe in Prophecies. If I would... The world would have been erased generations ago and I would not be in this forum.
You write: I think the Ancient Imperial family mentioned is the House of Hapsburg, many of whom are descendants of Blessed Karl and born in exile. I also think it is Providential the Blessed Karl was a holy man. Almost as if God is pointing to his House as the line of the great monarch.
There are 12 grand sons descendants from Kaiser Karl. All of them were borne in Exile. Which one would you pick for fulfilling this prophecy?
I am sorry to hear you dont believe in prophecy. I dont blame you though, there is a lot of garbage out there. As far as who the Great Monarch is, I think I have narrowed him down to two persons. I believe he was born in 1997. Here is my interpretation of this passage:
{9:24} Seventy weeks of years are concentrated on your people and on your holy city, so that transgression shall be finished, and sin shall reach an end, and iniquity shall be wiped away, and so that everlasting justice shall be brought in, and vision and prophecy shall be fulfilled, and the Saint of saints shall be anointed.
{9:25} Therefore, know and take heed: from the going forth of the word to build up Jerusalem again, until the Christ leader, there will be seven weeks of years, and sixty-two weeks of years; and the wide path will be built again, and the walls, in a time of anguish. (Daniel 9:24,25).
This is taken from a prophetic dream of Daniel, "from the going forth of the word to build up Jerusalem again" was the establishemt of the Irael is 1948. A week of years is seven. The Christ Leader mentioned above is the Great Monarch. He was concieved in 1996 and likely was be born in 1997.
As far as which Hapsburg it is who was born in 1997, I am not completely sure. I am working on an article that explains why I have narrowed it down to two of them.
