In letters to the others, religious events are predicted general concern that some historical developments, some disasters and some technical progress.

The author also notes a link between the color of the horses, according to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and the historical period in which the pope lived: In a letter to Frederick I of Prussia, the nun predicts that “the last Peter will come from your land”.
