Below is a first reason why I choose this topic and consider it important to communicate to those who are willing to listen. In the word of St. Cyril is in a short way all that is important to know why this issue must come up!
St. Cyril: “Prepare yourself therefore, O man, you hear of the signs of the Antichrist – do not just remember them, but share them freely with your surroundings.” If you have a child for the flesh, do not hesitate, close it If you are a teacher, prepare your spiritual children so that they do not take the wrong thing for the truth, for the mystery is already working. “
It is not an easy topic to talk about the Antichrist, because in the Antichrist at the end of time – to the expectation of many faithful people – the mystery of malice in all its fullness is revealed! Thus, he would pose a real threat to the whole world! But the gravity of the subject does not absolve the duty to speak out when anti-Christian threats become apparent, but they are neither sufficiently recognized nor defended, and even confuse the faithful.
Of course, it is right in the proclamation to focus on the message of Christ’s salvation, and to focus on the redemption of man and his homecoming to the kingdom of the Lord. But one must not overlook the devil’s power in this world, which – following his evil purpose – seeks to draw man into rebellion against God, to confuse him and to build a perverse realm of evil.
Not always do anti-Christian figures be as clearly identifiable as we have seen in the past century, when they left abominations of desolation and destruction behind them. Nevertheless, there were many people who did not recognize these seducers until the evil deeds became obvious.
That’s why vigilance is needed. This should be especially clear for Christians, for, if they know the voice of their Lord, they should be able to distinguish what comes from him and what does not. But obviously it is not always so easy because Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light and must therefore be clearly identified by the spirit of distinction.
As Catholics, we hope that the Church will warn us against dangerous developments! But here, too, we must not feel too safe, for even the shepherds of the church can be wrong, and the secret ways of seduction can not be recognized correctly or in time, or even integrated into them.
As I have been observing anti christian developments for a long time, and I am aware of how they are becoming ever stronger and more global and also want to infiltrate the church, I feel myself obliged to help to discern the spirits and to warn if the spirit of the Antichrist can be recognized.
