Apostasy. Great Apostasy Category: Apostasy Ephrem the Syrian on Antichrist

Saint Chrysostom about Antichrist

Antichrist will be seated in every Church

What is “the falling away?” He calls him Apostasy, as being about to destroy many, and make them fall away. So that if it were possible, He says, the very Elect should be offended. (Matt 24:24). And he calls him “the man of sin.” For he shall do numberless mischiefs, and shall cause others to do them. But he calls him “the son of perdition,” because he is also to be destroyed. But who is he [opponent to God]? Is it then Satan? By no means; but some man, that admits his fully working in him. For he is a man. “And exalteth himself against all that is called God or is worshiped.” For he will not introduce idolatry, but will be a kind of opponent to God (άντίθεоς); he will abolish all the gods, and will order men to worship him instead of God, and he will be seated in the temple of God, not that in Jerusalem only, but also in every Church. “Setting himself forth,” he says; he does not say, saying it, but endeavoring to show it. For he will perform great works, and will show wonderful signs.

One that restraineth is the Roman empire

So indeed he also says here. “Only there is one that restraineth (ò κατέχων) now, until he be taken out of the way(2 Thess 2:7), that is, when the Roman empire is taken out of the way, then he shall come. And naturally. For as long as the fear of this empire lasts, no one will willingly exalt himself, but when that is dissolved, he will attack the anarchy, and endeavor to seize upon the government both of man and of God. For as the kingdoms before this were destroyed, for example, that of the Medes by the Babylonians, that of the Babylonians by the Persians, that of the Persians by the Macedonians, that of the Macedonians by the Romans: so will this also be by the Antichrist, and he by Christ, and it will no longer withhold. And these things Daniel delivered to us with great clearness.

Saint Chrysostom
NPNF1-13. Homily IV. 2 Thessalonians ii. 6–9

I am not at all sure that the situation in the EU in 3 years will be better than it is now in Ukraine. I think that gangs of Islamists will be running around there and taking food from people. In Germany, it is already prohibited to open criminal cases for robberies of private homes if this robbery was committed by migrants.

Further, everything will go according to Chrysostome: “… when the Roman empire is taken out of the way, then he [Antichrist] shall come. And naturally. … he will attack the anarchy, and endeavor to seize upon the government both of man and of God.(Homily IV).

By that time, CBDC will be introduced. And in order to stop chaos (anarchy), it will be necessary to adopt CBDC.

Barry Hanratty writes: “A worldwide communist takeover led by Russia will appear to have succeeded and in the midst of this frightful aggression will be a harrowing persecution of the Church.” Sister Lucia (of Fatima) was asked: “Does this mean, in your opinion, that every country, without exception, will be overcome by Communism?” She replied: “Yes.”
