Books and movies, both fiction and nonfiction, speculate on end-of-the-world scenarios, presenting a rogue's gallery of corrupt leaders and a slew of chilling, apocalyptic theories. People are increasingly placing their faith in prophecies that claim to know details and dates about upcoming chastisements, as they are disillusioned by the crippled state of our Church and our world.
Will the "final confrontation" feature unprecedented bloodshed or subtle seduction (or both)? Have current intellectual, political, and sexual "liberation" movements, including those within the Church, laid the groundwork for the Antichrist to emerge?
The Antichrist, written by Fr. Vincent P. Miceli, S.J., is captivating and provides much-needed clarity on relevant biblical prophecies — from the Old Testament to St. Paul and Revelation — as well as writings of early Church Fathers and Doctors of the Church, such as Sts. Augustine, Gregory the Great, Jerome, and Thomas Aquinas.
This foresight book will enlighten you on whether there is more than one Antichrist, the types of leaders and societies that Cardinal Newman believed would be Antichrist forerunners, and how long the Antichrist will reign. You will also investigate the Church's teaching on millenarianism and the possibility that the Antichrist's reign is approaching.
This book is a valuable and timely resource that will help you understand views on the Antichrist throughout history and how they are linked to predictions about the end of the world, the Second Coming of Christ, the role of false prophets, and the devices used by the evil one to cultivate apostasy. You will also learn:
- What the persecution of the Antichrist will entail and events foretelling his coming
- How to avoid being deceived by the Antichrist
- Our Lady’s role in the End Times
- The significance of sacrilege, idolatry, and the “abomination of desolation”
- The consequences of attacks on the Holy Eucharist, the Sacred Liturgy, and the Blessed Mother
- The correlation (if any) between Rome and the Antichrist
- How contemporary heresies, occultism, and immorality plant the seeds for evil
This book will empower and encourage you to hold fast to your beliefs, bear witness to the truth, and defend against false teachings that subvert the fortitude of the faithful.
