EMERGENCE OF THE ANTI-CHRIST

Not much time shall pass before My adversary assumes his last reign on this earth. But prior to this I shall still speak with a voice of thunder, so that a few may still find their way, under utmost extremity, who shall then also remain faithful to Me, because My obvious aid enabled them to recognise Me, and who will therefore not let go of their faith in Me. But of these there shall be only a few, and hence My adversary shall wield great power, as through the great natural phenomenon men shall have been precipitated into an extremity that causes them to join up with anyone promising to help them out of it.

And one shall do so, winning to himself all those who have not given themselves to Me, because Mine shall keep away from him, being mindful of My admonitions and warning about the big faith-conflict awaiting them which will be kindled by My adversary. Worldly men however shall cheer him, since he knows how to dazzle them; and he will accomplish things making them ready to believe in a supernatural power. And it is this very recognition of him as ruler and deliverer from worldly want by the unbelieving which proves that My adversary himself is at work; that as My adversary he avails himself of an earthly form, to then reign with a free hand.

And those of you who belong to Me shall ask yourselves why I tolerate this his reign and do not bring him down. It is his last large engagement on earth, which also brings about the ultimate end; he causes the final battle to flare which you people have to withstand, because it is the last decision before I come Myself to deliver Mine. The preceding catastrophe shall have called forth a heightened urge in men to live it up and whoever survived it seeks to again acquire worldly goods by any means for a high standard of living, and this striving My adversary will support, and hence finds an enormous following. And he knows how to deceive men about his true nature; they regard him as a man of extraordinary strength, whom they can unreservedly trust and imbue with the mandate to re-structure and then blindly comply. And his following shall be so great that the small flock of faithful - those who have identified his real nature, shall not be able to ward of his aggression; but precisely by this do they recognised him - that he wants to do away with men's faith in Jesus Christ, so that he can himself occupy the highest throne and men worship him.

And they shall do so, because he achieves true wonders out of his residual powers. And you shall recognise him when he makes his appearance, but the world shall be plunged into fear first, through the extent of the natural catastrophe by which I identify Myself to mankind. And shortly thereafter he makes his appearance, promising help and deliverance out of yonder great chaos. And hence he finds a great following, because mankind is ready for its downfall, otherwise they would recognise him and ask Me for protection from him and his doings. Not much time shall pass before he appears who first emerges under cover of pious ness, yet soon shows his true colours. Mankind however is deluded, and his task with them is easy; they easily give up their faith in God because hit hard by the natural happening, and are ready to raise him to the highest throne who is My greatest enemy, and who in his nature incarnates in a man in order to bring the last deed on this earth to a conclusion: declare open war against Me and Mine - against all faith and justice.

Because only his followers shall he provide with subsistence, whilst Mine are threatened with death; but in Myself he shall find his Lord as soon as his time is up, and on account of My elect I shall shorten this time. I shall come Myself to deliver them from tribulation, and his reign shall end. He shall be bound for a long time, together with his followers. And a new epoch of peace and harmony shall commence, where love shall reign and My adversary's doings stopped, as promised in Word and Scripture.

AMEN
