After the year 1900, toward
the middle of the 20th century, the people of that time will
become unrecognizable. When the time for the Advent of the
Antichrist approaches, people's minds will grow cloudy from
carnal passions, and dishonor and lawlessness will grow
stronger. Then the world will become unrecognizable.
People's appearances will
change, and it will be impossible to distinguish men from women
due to their shamelessness in dress and style of hair. These
people will be cruel and will be like wild animals because of
the temptations of the Antichrist. There will be no respect for
parents and elders, love will disappear, and Christian pastors,
bishops, and priests will become vain men, completely failing to
distinguish the right-hand way from the left.
At that time the morals and
traditions of Christians and of the Church will change. People
will abandon modesty, and dissipation will reign. Falsehood and
greed will attain great proportions, and woe to those who pile
up treasures. Lust, adultery, homosexuality, secret deeds and
murder will rule in society.
At that future time, due to
the power of such great crimes and licentiousness, people will
be deprived of the grace of the Holy Spirit, which they received
in Holy Baptism and equally of remorse. The Churches of God will
be deprived of God-fearing and pious pastors, and woe to the
Christians remaining in the world at that time; they will
completely lose their faith because they will lack the
opportunity of seeing the light of knowledge from anyone at all.
Then they will separate themselves out of the world in holy
refuges in search of lightening their spiritual sufferings, but
everywhere they will meet obstacles and constraints.
And all this will result
from the fact that the Antichrist wants to be Lord over
everything and become the ruler of the whole universe, and he
will produce miracles and fantastic signs. He will also give
depraved wisdom to an unhappy man so that he will discover a way
by which one man can carry on a conversation with another from
one end of the earth to the other.
At that time men will also
fly through the air like birds and descend to the bottom of the
sea like fish. And when they have achieved all this, these
unhappy people will spend their lives in comfort without
knowing, poor souls, that it is deceit of the Antichrist.
And, the impious one! -- he
will so complete science with vanity that it will go off the
right path and lead people to lose faith in the existence of God
in three apostasies. Then the All-good God will see the downfall
of the human race and will shorten the days for the sake of
those few who are being saved, because the enemy wants to lead
even the chosen into temptation, if that is possible... then the
sword of chastisement will suddenly appear and kill the
perverter and his servants.
