The threat in the church
All that we have heard about the Antichrist in the past reflections clearly shows the great danger that antichristian activities bring to people. It is the serious and perhaps even last attempt of the devil to extend his rule globally to the whole earth, to subjugate it and, if possible, to lead it to worship himself. Read More
Characteristics of the Antichrist
We can summarise from the Holy Scriptures and literature some characteristics of a coming Antichrist without claiming to be complete or to be absolutely certain.
The Antichrist or the “the lost One” (2 Thess 2,3) will appear as the world ruler. In contrast to the past, where corresponding Antichrists exposed themselves relatively quickly as violent dictators, the coming Antichrist is described as a kind of global peace bringer, who is equipped with a special charisma and corresponding political powers to achieve his goals.

The Antichrist according to Robert Benson and Michael D. O Brian
We continued the topic with two other authors. The contribution of Robert Benson, an English priest, who wrote the book: “The Lord of the World”, I will only briefly summarize, because I already reported in more detail in the daily meditations on May 20th, 2020. This is recommended to read in
“Short Story of the Antichrist” of Soloviev
Today we take a look at how the Antichrist is portrayed in the literature I know.
He is described primarily as a political figure gifted with an extraordinary charisma, offering solutions to the pressing political and social problems! Read More
The Antichrist and many Antichrists, testimony of the Holy Scriptures
The coming of an Antichrist at the end of the times before the return of Christ is expected by watchful Christians who know the Holy Scriptures and the relevant passages. In the literature we also know references to the adversary of Christ.
Sacred Scripture speaks of the fact that many antichrists have appeared, as the following passage from the Epistle of John testifies: Read More
Introduction
To all those who receive the daily speeches:
The present pandemic, but also many threatening scenarios in the world in general, including in our holy Church, are causing quite a few people to be not in peace. More and more questions are being asked, and I too am being asked whether the time has come to withdraw more into the countryside, to leave the big cities, whether the events foretold by the prophet Daniel are coming to pass (cf. Dan 7 and Dan 12), whether the apocalyptic horsemen of the revelation of St. John are on their way (cf. Rev 6,1-8), whether we will be forced to vaccinate against Covid 19 with a substance that also contains embryological tissue, whether something will even be introduced into the vaccines that will make the person sick, or whether we will observed and followed in all our movements, and whether we are heading towards a dictatorship in the sense of a one-world order, and many more fears and observations.

Rom 13,8-10
The only thing you should owe to anyone is love for one another, for to love the other person is to fulfil the law. All these: You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet, and all the other commandments that there are, are summed up in this single phrase: You must love your neighbour as yourself. Love can cause no harm to your neighbour, and so love is the fulfilment of the Law. Read More
1 Cor 4,6b-15
I have applied all this to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that you can learn how the saying, ‘Nothing beyond what is written’ is true of us: no individual among you must become filled with his own importance and make comparisons, to another’s detriment. Who made you so important? What have you got that was not given to you? And if it was given to you, why are you boasting as though it were your own? Read More
1 Cor 4,1-5
People should think of us as Christ’s servants, stewards entrusted with the mysteries of God. In such a matter, what is expected of stewards is that each one should be found trustworthy. It is of no importance to me how you or any other human court may judge me: I will not even be the judge of my own self. Read More
1 Cor 3,18 -21
There is no room for self-delusion. Any one of you who thinks he is wise by worldly standards must learn to be a fool in order to be really wise. For the wisdom of the world is folly to God. As scripture says: He traps the crafty in the snare of their own cunning and again: The Lord knows the plans of the wise and how insipid they are. Read More
