Daniel Zenga Prophecy

In the fourth generation, a lion will come to the crest of the hill and reign over high gate...

He will first silence the waters...
Then capture the jewel from the king...
Thirdly, after seven days of want and darkness, he will fling a tarnished stone into the Earth...
     and a flame in the sky will show him the four keys.

And the lion will sit with the ransom at his feet and the winds will seal him from the wrath of the world.
