. English: A most unusual Messianic prophecy in the name of Rabbi Shimon of Ostropoli, predicting 1840 as the year. This prophecy, commenting on Numbers 24:24, apparently predicts the French Revolution, some might see Napoleon, and some other stuff, including a free Jewish kingdom in Russia, and finally the Messiah, in the year 1840-41. This was printed in 1829, when 'the fulfilment, being fixed for A. M. 5601, occurs in eleven years from this time.' The document was copied by Isaac Leeser. 17th century.
