"Antichrist
will naturally meet with obstacles in carrying out his designs. The
ten kings, who, according to the prophet Daniel and St. John, will have
divided the Roman empire among them, shall endeavor to conserve the
independence of their realms and consequently will resist him with fire
and sword."
The beginning of this is what has been happening in the Middle East and North Africa for some decades.
The Antichrist: Rev. Paschal Huchede's view of the Antichrist
Chapter 2- The Action
ARTICLE I-CONTEST AND POLITICAL SWAY OF ANTICHRIST
1. Antichrist Begins to Manifest Himself to the Jews
Antichrist,
being a Jew, will be circumcised; he will observe the Mosaic Law, and
finally he will give himself for the Messiah whom Israel still expects,
and he will be received by those whose names are not written in the Book
of Life, in the Book of the Lamb. (Apoc. 13:8). Hence Our Lord thus
reproaches the Jews, "I am come in the name of my Father, and you
receive me not; if another shall come in his own name, him you will
receive." Jn. 5:43). St. Irenaeus, St. Hilary, St. Ambrose, St.
Augustine, St. Jerome, and St. Damascus are of opinion that Our Lord
makes allusion in this passage to Antichrist.
2. He Achieves the Conquest of the World and Makes Jerusalem its Capital
Antichrist
will naturally meet with obstacles in carrying out his designs. The
ten kings, who, according to the prophet Daniel and St. John, will have
divided the Roman empire among them, shall endeavor to conserve the
independence of their realms and consequently will resist him with fire
and sword. "I considered," says the prophet, "the horns, and behold
another little horn sprung out of the midst of them, and three of the
first horns were plucked up at the sight thereof. . . And these ten
horns shall be ten kings, and another shall rise up after them, and he
shall be mightier than the former, and he shall bring down three kings."
(Dan. 7:8 & 24). "He shall take possession of the land; Egypt will
not escape his power. . . he shall pass into Libya and Ethiopia." (Dan.
11 :42-43). St. Jerome has left us the interpretation of the Fathers,
which is corroborated by all ecclesiastical writers who have since
treated the question. At the end of the world. after the destruction of
the empire, ten kings will divide among them the fragments of the Roman
empire; then an eleventh king will enter the scene and conquer three of
their number: the king of Egypt, the king of Africa, and the king of
Ethiopia. After their death, the remaining seven laid their scepters at
the conqueror's feet. (Dan. 7 [esp. 24-25]).
It
seems that he will probably be defeated by certain people of the
Western nations, who will give him a naval battle, people whom Daniel
calls "Romans." (11:30). But he will soon recover from this defeat. St.
Irenaeus and St. Hippolytus of Antioch concur with St. Jerome in the
same opinion, which gives this interpretation of the prophet a
theological certitude. When Antichrist shall have conquered all his
enemies, power shall be given him over all tribes, peoples, languages,
and nations; he will be the first Jew to reign over the whole world.
When he shall find himself master of the world, he will choose for his
capital the city in which Our Lord was crucified. (Apoc. 11 :8). If he
did otherwise. he would fail to make the Jews receive him for the
Messiah since their hearts will be fixed on terrestrial glory and
Jerusalem, in their esteem, must be the sojourn of the Messiah.
ARTICLE II-CONTEST AND RELIGIOUS SWAY OF ANTICHRIST
1. He Declares Himself to be God and Desires to Establish His Religion Throughout the World
"And they adored the beast, saying, who is like to the beast? and who shall be able to fight with him?" (Apoc. 13 :4).
All
vile parasites of fortune, astonished at the rapidity with which
Antichrist achieves his conquests and also at the unlimited sway of his
power, deceived by his prodigies, will prostrate themselves before him
and adore him as their god. As soon as he believes himself master of the
bodies and souls of all peoples, he will decree and proclaim his
divinity and establish a new religion. According to the Apostle, he will
lift himself up above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so
that he sitteth in the temple of God showing himself as if he were God.
(2 Thes. 2:4). He will command all peoples to place his statue in the
public places to be worshipped, the image of the beast whose wound was
healed. (Apoc. 13 :13-15). "He will sit in the temple of God
showing himself as if he were God." (2 Thes. 2:4). This temple is
probably that of Jerusalem, which he will have rebuilt and in which he
will have divine honors paid to him. (Damascus, Book 4, Ch. 37). It is
then, according to the prophecy of Daniel and in full force of the term,
that the abomination of desolation shall be in the temple, seated in
the holy place. (Dan. 9:27). Then he shall think himself able to change
times and laws - religious, political, and sacred - by which the world
had been governed up to his advent. (Dan. 7:25). Although he will
make himself the object of idolatrous worship, he himself will adore a
god called Moazim, ignored by his ancestors, and he will load this idol
with gold and precious stones. (Dan. 11:38-39).
Our
Lord Jesus Christ as man adored His Father. Antichrist will adore his
father, Satan, principal author of his power. As for the moral of his
religion, we are permitted to believe that he will eliminate from it
whatever is painful to corrupt human nature, so that he may more easily
gain men over to his party. (Suarez et Bellarm.)
2. His Apostles
In
order to propagate his religion, he will send out missionaries to all
parts of the world, as Our Saviour sent His Apostles to preach His
doctrine. Among the false prophets, there will most probably be one more
illustrious than the others, as St. Ambrose remarks. (in Apoc.). St.
John describes him as follows: "And I saw another beast coming up out
of the earth, and he had two horns, like a lamb, and he spoke as a
dragon." (Apoc. 13:11). And in another passage he seems to point out three
different persons: "And I saw from the mouth of the dragon, and from
the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophet, three
unclean spirits like frogs." (Apoc. 16:13). The dragon, the
beast, and the false prophet signify Satan, Antichrist, and the
principal apostle of Antichrist. These three different beings command
all the other demons. In the work of our redemption, the three divine
persons of the adorable Trinity manifested themselves. The Son adores
the Father; the Holy Ghost gives glory to the Son. And we see that in
the mystery of iniquity Antichrist adores Satan and the false prophet
glorifies Antichrist. Hence we have every reason to show that this
false prophet will be an individual person and not a collective term to
designate the universality of preachers engaged in the service of
Antichrist. We can even assert that he will not be a king, nor a general
of an army, but a clever apostate, fallen from the episcopal dignity.
From being an apostle of the Gospel he will become the first preacher of
the false messiah. These conjectures are not devoid of much
plausibility. (Acosta, Book 2, Ch. 16). Antichrist will
communicate his power of working miracles to others, who will go into
different countries and cities to gain new proselytes by all the human
and diabolical means in their power. (Acosta, 2, 16). It is thus
that the words of Our Lord will be fulfilled. "For there shall rise up
false Christs and false prophets, and they shall show signs and wonders,
to seduce, if it were possible, event the elect. Take ye heed,
therefore. Behold I have foretold you all things." (Mk. 13:22-23). "And
then if any man shall say to you: Lo, here is Christ; 10, he is here, do
not believe. . . he is in the desert, go ye not out." (Mat. 24:23-26). Benighted apostles who will indeed turn away from truth! (2 Tim. 4:4).
They blaspheme the majesty of God and despise all true authority.
"Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their confusion, wandering stars
to whom the storm of darkness is reserved forever." (Jude 1:13).
"Fountains without water and clouds tossed with whirlwinds, to whom the
midst of darkness is reserved." (2 Pet. 2:17).
Antichrist
will furthermore make all men, great and small, rich and poor, freemen
and bondmen, bear a sign on their right arm or on their forehead. (Apoc. 13
:16). What this sign shall be time alone will reveal. Yet there are
some commentators of Holy Writ, who, according to a special revelation,
pretend to say that it shall be formed out of the Greek letters X and P,
interlaced like a figure which resembles the number of Christ.
(Cornelius a Lapide in Epis. 2 to Thes.]
No one can either buy or sell without this mark, as distinctly specified in the Apocalypse (13:17).
And that no man might buy or sell but he that had the character or the
name of the beast or the number of his name." None but adorers of this
new god can enjoy the possession of riches or honors. This god shall
increase their glory and shall give them power over many and shall
divide the land for nothing. (Apoc. 13:7).
2. Religious Persecution of Antichrist
I. Gog and Magog
Those
who will refuse to obey his impious orders shall be the object of a
terrible and universal persecution. Gog and Magog shall be let loose;
they shall come upon the "breath of the earth and encompass the camp of
the saints and the beloved city." (Apoc. 20:8). What do these
names mean? The Jews pretend that Gog will be Antichrist and Magog the
northern people. "At the coming of the Messiah, they shall enter
Palestine and lay waste the country to such an extent that the
unfortunate citizens will be obliged to 'burn for fuel the handles of
the lances and shields left on the battlefield. But these misfortunes
once over, the golden age shall revive." This Thalmudic interpretation
of Ezechiel (38) given by St. Jerome cannot be questioned. Some other
ecclesiastical writers, notably Eusebius (Book 3, Hist., c. ult.) and
Lactance (Book c. 44, 25), place the battle of Gog and Magog a thousand
years after the death of Antichrist. During those thousand years, Jesus
Christ will reign with the saints in this world in the midst of
infidels, if not converted at least subjugated. At the lapse of that
time Gog and Magog shall appear on the scene and wage a bloody war
against the saints. This war shall be closely followed by the end of the
world and the last judgment. This is, as may be easily seen, the error
of the millennium which has long since been refuted by the Fathers St.
Augustine, St. Jerome, and many others. It is probable that Gog and
Magog mean Antichrist's combat against the Church. According to
Bellarmine, Gog will be Antichrist himself and Magog will be his army.
Because Ezechiel always designates Gog as a leader and Magog as a
region (Ezech. 38-39), Magog, it is true, is regarded as being the
Sythian nation. In Genesis (10:2) the second son of Japeth is said to
have borne this name, and the country in which he settled was naturally
called after him, and this country, according to Josephus, is Scythia.
In employing this term to designate the army of Antichrist, we are led
to infer that the men composing it will be orientals, or what seems more
plausible, that his soldiers will possess all the brutality of those
barbarous people. [Editor note: Nizari, Doenmeh, freemasonic
Anglo-American Zionist, etc.]

VI: BABYLON THE GREAT
The Woman on the Scarlet Beast
Rv:17:
1
¶ And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials and
spoke with me, saying: Come, I will shew thee the condemnation of the
great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters: … Scripture reference –
Rev.: 15:1,6; 21:9; 19:2
2 With whom the kings of the earth have
committed fornication. And they who inhabit the earth have been made
drunk with the wine of her whoredom. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 18:3,
9; Isaiah: 23:17; Rev.: 14:8
3 And he took me away in spirit into
the desert. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet coloured beast,
full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. …
Scripture reference – Rev.: 12:3; 13:1
4 And the woman was clothed
round about with purple and scarlet, and gilt with gold and precious
stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of the
abomination and filthiness of her fornication. … Scripture reference –
Rev.: 18:16
5 And on her forehead a name was written: A mystery:
[1] Babylon the great, the mother of the fornications and the
abominations of the earth. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 19:2
6
And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the
blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered, when I had seen her, with
great admiration.
The Angel’s Explanation
7
¶ And the angel said to me: Why dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the
mystery of the woman and of the beast which carrieth her, which hath the
seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast which thou sawest, was,
and is not, and shall come up out of the bottomless pit and go into
destruction. And the inhabitants on the earth (whose names are not
written in the book of life from the foundation of the world) shall
wonder, seeing the beast that was and is not. … Scripture reference –
Rev.: 17:11; 11:7!; 13:3, 8!
9 And here is the understanding that
hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman
sitteth: and they are seven kings. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 13:18
10
Five are fallen, one is, and the other is not yet come: and when he is
come, he must remain a short time. … Scripture reference –
11 And
the beast [2] which was and is not: the same also is the eighth, and is
of the seven, and goeth into destruction. … Scripture reference – Rev.:
17:8
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, who
have not yet received a kingdom: but shall receive power as kings, one
hour [3] after [with] the beast. … Scripture reference – Dan.: 7:24
13 These have one design: and their strength and power they shall deliver to the beast.
14
¶ These shall fight with the Lamb. And the Lamb shall overcome them
because he is Lord of lords and King of kings: and they that are with
him are called and elect and faithful. … Scripture reference – Rev.:
19:16; 1Tim.: 6:15!
15 And he said to me: The waters which thou
sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples and nations and tongues. …

16 And the ten horns which thou sawest in
the beast: These shall hate the harlot and shall make her desolate and
naked and shall eat her flesh and shall burn her with fire. … Scripture

17 For God hath given into
their hearts to do that which pleaseth him: that they give their kingdom
[4] to the beast, till the words of God be fulfilled. … Scripture
reference – Prv.: 21:1
18 And the woman which thou sawest is the great city which hath kingdom over the kings of the earth. [5] … Scripture reference –

-Ver:-5. A mystery: the name is not literal but symbolical and its
meaning is that it will be revealed in due time. (mystery in Greek is
musterion, that is “revealed”). In the final ‘universal recapitulation
of evil’ (St. Irenaeus’ expression) the “woman” who is the “great
harlot” will be the recapitulation of all the diabolic, demonic,
gnostic, infidel, false religion of the world since Adam. In short,
today it is the Pan-heresy of the Ecumenical movement (utterly opposed
by Mortalium Animus, Pius XI, 1928), which is the culmination of
modernist Judeo-Mason blasphemy of: the True God and His Christ and the
Holy Spirit. This Pan-heresy is centered at Rome in the Vatican since
1958 especially, and has permeated all churches; this is the great
apostasy that St. Paul the Apostle warned us about (see: 2 Thess.2:3, 6,
7). He who holds the great apostasy back (2 Thess: 2:6, 7) until the
appointed time is Jesus Christ Himself, according to St. Justin Martyr.
The beast that the woman rides is the world’s political-religious
systems opposed to the True God, the Trinity, Who is the Creator and
Ruler over all. These taken together are the precursor of the final
beast of verse 11 which includes all the former systems within it.
[2]
-Ver. 11. The beast spoken of here seems to be the Roman Empire, as in
chapter 13. At the end of days it will be the final world system
opposing Christ and His Church. This world system will be, according to
the Church Fathers and Doctors of the Church, the one world empire of
the Antichrist who is the son of perdition, headquartered in the rebuilt
Solomonic temple in Jerusalem. See 2 Thessalonians 2nd chapter. This is
the ultimate Babylon and is utterly damned by Christ and His Church.
“Such a secular, earthbound state [Israel] could easily become the
political and military power base for the Antichrist when he comes. For
the Antichrist will be in perfect accord with the ideals of such a
Zionist state. Moreover, the State of Israel has demonstrated that it
has the will and ability to go to war and win the secular goals to which
its heart is attached. Thus when the Antichrist comes to power as head
of such an efficient, superbly equipped, scientific State, founded on
nationalism, race and blood, he will be able to conquer the rest of the
world. He will be the first, the only Jew to reign with political,
economic, military power over the whole world from his capital city,
Jerusalem, the city in which Our Lord was crucified” (Fr. Vincent
Miceli, S.J., The Antichrist, p. 152).
[3] -Ver. 12. One hour: ten
other kingdoms are allies of the beast and battle against the Church.
But their dominion is short; typified as an hour. These occur at the
same time and not in succession.
[4] -Ver. 17. The Greek text reads: “. . . to
do his purpose and to make common cause and to give their kingdom. . . :”
[5]
–Ver. 18. …great city which hath kingdom over the kings of the earth.:
at the time that the Apocalypse was seen and recorded by St. John the
Apostle, that city was Rome, Italy, of the seven hills (1 – Janiculum
with the Vatican on the lower slope today, 2 – Aventine, 3 – Palatine
with the Capitoline and the Tiburtine oracle, 4 – Caelian, 5 –
Esquiline, 6 – Viminal, 7 – Quirinal), in the future it will be
Jerusalem of the seven hills (1 – The Citadel, 2 – Acra, 3 – Temple
Mount, 4 – Mount of Olives, 5 – Mt. Scopus, 6 – Mt Zion, 7 – Golgotha)
when the Antichrist rules from there. The eighth head which is a king
and has dominion over the kingdoms of the earth and therefore is
identified with that world wide (ecumenical in the narrow sense) kingdom
as well, was Caesar, in the days of ancient Rome. Caesar was ruler over
Rome, the Pontifex Maximus (head of all Roman religion) and Princeps
Senatus – first member by precedence of the Roman Senate (therefore
functional dictator without the title); and also the Emperor (Imperator)
over the Roman Empire. In the future the eighth head ruling over
Jerusalem and having world wide dominion for a short space will be the
Antichrist. The exact arrangement of how that will be enacted is known
to God.
