Will tomorrow be the day the four angels will not hear the call ?

 Apocalypse 7 [1] After these things, I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that they should not blow upon the earth, nor upon the sea, nor on any tree. [2] And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the sign of the living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, [3] Saying: Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we sign the servants of our God in their foreheads

Yes, tomorrow could be the day the four angels are not told to withhold destruction.

We had all better be ready for that day every day. Go frequently to Confession and Holy Communion.

Neo-Cons beating the war with Russia drums. What about Zacharias? Did he prophesy nuclear war?

Zacharias 14: 12   And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord shall strike all nations that have fought against Jerusalem: the flesh of every one shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. 

The Jews and The AntiChrist

 Cornelius a Lapide, at a time when there was yet no

question of our great discoveries, affirmed that Antichrist 
would have innumerable armies under his command: "Instar arenae 
maris; " (Apocalypse 20) "et numerus equestris exercitus vicies 
millies^ dena millia." (Apocalypse 9:16) According to the 
interpretation of the learned Cornelius, Antichrist's cavalry 
alone will consist of two hundred million men. How much 
greater will be the number of his infantry! (Cornelius a 
Lapide: Commentary on the Epistle to the Thessalonians , p. 

Jews will be the financiers: and the people which possesses the 
most gold will be the one which will soon exercise the 
greatest control over us. 

Now, after fifty centuries of existence, nineteen of 
them in misfortune, a certain people is found everywhere, 
scattered in every- quarter of the globe, meeting on the 
most distant shores, mingling with the whole human family, 
still enduring, still in search of their Messias, dreaming 
of "rebuilding their temple and, despite all changes and 
upheavals, unshakable in their homogeneity and in the 
pursuit of their goal. 

It must be said, in justice to them, that they are an 
active, temperate and hard-working race." If we speak of 
them, we do so in the abstract and solely from the point 
of view of their destiny and of their providential and 
historical mission. We should regret if our words were 
seen as an attack upon this people of illustrious ancest- 
ry, which has given to the world Christ, the Apostles and 
the Immaculate Virgin. 

We, Christians" and children of Israel, are closer to 
one another than we think. As one well-known speaker has 
said: Christianity is Judaism with its apex; Judaism is 
Christianity without its apex. 

Nevertheless, the facts are there, and it is impos- 
sible for the Christian philosopher to ignore or disguise 
them. 

Now, it is less than a century ago since this people 
was emancipated; and, like a flood which has burst through 
every dyke, they are already at the head of human affairs. 
Novices yesterday to civil and political life, they are 
now dominant everywhere, and nothing can be done in the 
world without them. They bribe and have at their command 
all the advertising agencies and the principal organs of 
the press. They are the creditors of the leading states 
of Europe. The railways, the great inventions, the banks 
and theatres belong to them; they are at the head of the 
great socialist movement which is shaking Russia, Germany, 
France...; they rule in the Danubian principalities, and 
have the casting vote in the high councils of Freemasonry, 
directing their operation and inspiration.  



There are 3,338,000 Jews in Europe, Germany alone having 
1,250,000 and Rumania 500,000. Total number of Jews living xn 
the world: six million. In his book La Judaisation des peuples 
Chretiens , Desmousseau quotes innumerable passages taken from 
L ' U nivers and the Archives Israelites , from which it is clear 
that the theology of liberal Judaism is no different from the 
doctrine and symbolism of the secret, Masonic societies. Hence 
this remarkable admission, made only a few years ago, by a 
British prime minister, who was himself born of Jewish blood: 
"The world is governed by very different personages from what 
is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes... and the 
mighty revolution, which is now being prepared in Germany, and 
will shortly become a second Reformation, greater than the 
first and, accordingly, more destructive of Catholicism, is 
gathering strength under the auspices of the Jews." The 
Chevalier Desmousseau, who published his book in 1869, believes 
he has grounds for saying that, out of the nine members forming 
the supreme council of Freemasonry, five were Israelites. 


As we write these lines, what is called the anti- 
Semitic question is setting a formidable problem for the 
state, stirring Germany and Central Europe profoundly; the 
point at issue is the progress and ever-increasing in- 
fluence of Judaism, which at present constitutes a threat 
to the civilization, the security and existence ot 
Christian peoples. The question is causing serious con- 
cern to politicians and statesmen; but, since they obstin- 
ately refuse to be guided by the light of Catholicism and 
revealed religion, they are powerless to find the true 
solution. 

To speak only of Prussia, a recent .computation has 
established that the secondary and higher schools of this 
empire number 87,949 Protestant pupils, 20,147 Catholic 
pupils; and 12,371 Israelites. If we allow for the pro- 
portional figures of the population, there ought to be 
79,000 Protestant pupils, 40,000 Catholic pupils and 1,800 
Israelites. This disproportion gives grounds for serious 
thought. Out of the 1,200 law students at the University 
of Berlin, 600 are Israelites - and it is only six years 
since the doors of the magistracy and civil service were 
opened to Jews. If this advance continues, it is certain 
that, within twenty-five years, three quarters of public 
offices in Germany will be held by Jews. It is a fact 
that, at present, they are already dominant in finance, in 
the press, and are acting like a state within a state. 

Judaism is really a confessional faith and doctrine 
grafted on to one nationality and race. All other peoples 
- Frenchmen, Italians, Germans, Spaniards - if they live 
for a certain time subject to the same government and form 
of administration, if they are ruled by the same laws and 
institutions - do not take long to merge, unite their 
interests, mix their blood and acquire the same aspir- 
ations and patriotic spirit. The Jew is unassimilable: he 
is planted among the other peoples in the position of a 
lodger, as a famous writer has said; or, rather, he con- 
siders himself an exile and captive amidst the other 
nations. Instead of a real motherland, he has only an 
ideal motherland, Palestine. Jerusalem is the only per- 
manent city for which he yearns. In his speeches and 
writings, on every page of his newspapers and reviews, he 
manifests the hope which he has never ceased to cherish of 
rebuilding a new, Jewish Kingdom, either at Jerusalem or 
in the surrounding area. 

So, it is not nationality and blood which prevents 
the Jews from being assimilated and sets them in open 
enmity with other peoples, but religion: not the religion 
of Moses, which they forsook and which they no longer 
know, save in name; but their Talmudic, rabbinical re- 
ligion, a medley of absurdities and rambling fables, rest- 
ing, not upon the Gospel foundation of love of neighbour, 
but upon the -obligation, to pledge a profound hatred of all 
that does not spring from . their blood. Thus an axiom 
acknowledged and raised by Israel to the level of a doc- 
trine and revealed symbol is that, each timehe considers 
it useful to his interests, _ a Jew has a duty to feign 
conversion and to participate exteriorly in the customs 
and practices of a religion other than his own. Thus, it 
has been -found that there are Jews in Germany at the 
present time who undergo baptism and accept Christianity in 
order to„ acquire lands, win for themselves titles of nobil- 
ity and the more easily attain public positions, and who 
turn these advantages to account for the enrichment of the 
synagogue and the impoverishment of the peoples amidst 
whom they live. 

Modern liberalism, with its futile sentimentality and 
its false egalitarian principles, has contributed more 
than all other errors towards bringing about this prepond- 
erance and overwhelming tide of Jewish influence, which 
the European peoples with good reason fear. 

In the Middle Ages, the Christian nations and. princes, 
enlightened by the Church, had foreseen this great social 
peril. On the one hand, they knew that they had a duty to 
bear with the Jews, and that it was impossible for them to 
make away with them, since the prophecies announce that 
they will subsist until the end of the times, and that 
only then will they return to the true Faith. On the 
other hand, they knew that they could not live in peace 
and security if they granted unrestricted freedom to such 
a grasping, all-pervading race. It is a fact of exper- 
ience that, wherever the Jews establish themselves and 
predominate, they turn into despots and ravaging tyrants. 
That is why, denying them civil and political rights, 
which they would have abused - and do abuse - wherever 
wealth has made them masters, Canon Law granted them 
tolerance. It watched over them so that they might live 
in peace and go quietly about their activities and their 
commercial affairs without harming the Christians with 
whom they mingled; and through these wise measures the 
Jews were for centuries not only protected, but defended 
against the universal hatred, the ferment and exasperation 
of uncomprehending peoples. 

Such is the Jewish question which, at the moment, is 
deeply stirring opinion in Prussia, Austria and Poland; 
its solution seems fraught with the gloomiest auspices. 
Now, if we take Israel as a whole, leaving aside the men 
of that nation who have fallen into rationalism and un- 
belief, the nucleus of the Jewish race have not ceased to 
nourish the same illusions that we have just indicated: 
still expecting a Messias, whom they continue to see as a 
powerful conqueror who will subdue the earth. Not long 
ago, one of the most authoritative exponents of the Talmud 
dared to say: 



(The Roman review Civilta Cattolica , 1st April 1881, 
quotes the case of a Jew who, in turn, became Protestant, 
Catholic, was ordained priest and, finally, embraced the 
religious life. He himself related that, when he was a child, 
his father had impressed on him the axiom that man "must live 
in accordance with the religion of the country where he dwells, 
so as to spare -himself difficulties and to be less disturbed in 
his person and in his affairs." In fact, the child was able 
marvellously to put this teaching into practice. From being a 
priest and religious, he again became a Protestant and married 
a Protestant woman; not long before, he had had occasion to 
stay in a Mohammedan country, where he had thought it advan- 
tageous to live as an authentic Mohammedan. 

[85] Gambetta is the son of a baptized Jew; Reinach, his secre- 
tary, is an Israelite from Frankfurt. The deputies Naquet and 
See are related to Gambetta by the bond of race, that is, by 
their common Jewish origin. ( Civilta Cattolica , 1st January, 

"A new messianism must be born, a Jerusalem of a new 
order, set reverently between East and West, must replace 
the twofold city of Caesars and Popes. " Furthermore, 
it is an established fact that the majority of orthodox 
believers have retained, as their slogan and watchword, 
the remark once uttered by a famous rabbi: "Jerusalem is 
still the pivot of our hopes and of our faith." 

Now, is it improbable that, in social conditions like 
ours, in which the most dreadful and unforeseen events 
loom up with the rapidity of steam and lightning, there 
may live a man who will take advantage of the chaos into 
which our revolutions will have cast us, and succeed in 
beguiling the masses and gaining mastery over minds and 
hearts; then, pledging himself to regenerate mankind, will 
send out a rallying cry to which all his co-religionists 
will respond, thus achieving the conquest of universal 
power, a stupendous dominion over minds and bodies, a 
dominion accepted enthusiastically by the universality of 
misled, seduced peoples? 

Lastly, may we not believe that this powerful and 
wicked man, who will imprison the world in the iron grip 
of an indescribable, unrestrained despotism and unify the 
human race through the enslavement of consciences and the 
humbling of spirits, will be the personage portrayed and 
predicted by Saint John as Antichrist, and that he will be 
the man whom Divine Providence has desired to use in order 
to undeceive Israel, who will at first have acclaimed him 
as her Messias and King? 

Finally, what will be the characteristic marks of the 
persecution of Antichrist? Its main features have been 
described by Cornelius a Lapide and Suarez , in accordance 
with Scripture and the Fathers. 

In the first place, what is certain and almost "of 
faith" is that, of all the persecutions which the Church 
has had to suffer, that of Antichrist will be the most 
terrible and the most violent. 

First, because this persecution will be general, and 
will extend over the whole earth. It is written: "And 
they came upon the breadth of the earth, and encompassed 
the camp of the saints, and the beloved city.

St. Augustine, in book 20 of the City of God , explains 
this text from St. John by saying that all the infidels, 
heretics, sectarians and depraved men, scattered over the 
surface of the earth, will unite with Antichrist to make 
war on the saints and to persecute those who are faithful 
to God. 

Secondly, this persecution will be the most severe 
and violent of all - because it will be inspired neither by 
superstition and fanaticism, nor by a blind attachment to 
the worship of idols, as were the persecutions unleashed 
by the pagan emperors. Its purpose will^not be to assuage 
pride, nor to satisfy an unbridled lust for power, like 
the persecution of Mohammed. Nor will it be aroused by 
the unrestrained cupidities of the flesh and by the lure 
of plunder, like the one to which the German princes 
subjected the Church under Protestantism and in the life- 
time of Luther, 

 
Tiberius, Nero and the most frightful tyrants of paganism 
at least acknowledged an apprehension and, as it were, a 
distant reflection of the divinity in the idols, which 
they sought to compel the Christians to adore; but, in the 
times of which we are speaking, it will no longer be 
permissible to accord even a modified and corrupted ador- 
ation to any divinity. All men without exception will be 
forced to honour and render a cult of latria to Satan 
himself, personified in Antichrist, that is, in the most 
evil and abominable man that humanity has ever produced. 

Thirdly, this persecution, which will mark the last 
ages, will be waged with a well-nigh irresistible seduct- 
iveness, ut in errorem inducantur, si fieri potest, etiam 
electi. Co~rnTlius a Lapide says: Omnes politicorum artes, 
dolos et praxes callebit . At first Antichrist will con- 
^IHce" the JiwT" that he is the Messias. In order to de- 
ceive them the more successfully, he will hide behind a 
mask of moderation and feigned holiness. When St. Paul 
tells us that he will have himself worshipped in the 
temple of God, [88] he seems to imply that he will rebuild 
the temple" Jerusalem, utterly destroyed by Titus; 
consequently, he will prescribe circumcision and, for a 
time, restore the bloody sacrifices and the other rites o£ 
the Judaic religion. 

As for those who are foreign to the Jewish religion, 
he will draw them to himself, first, by persuasion and 
eloquence. He will be skilled in artifice, and will be 
taught by the Devil himself all knowledge useful for the 
ends for which the evil spirit destines him. St. Anselm 
tells us that he will be acquainted with all the natural 
sciences and will know all the sacred texts by heart. 
In the second place, he will win men over by lavishing 
gold and riches. He will be the wealthiest person on 
earth. Satan will deliver to him all the treasures con- 
cealed in the bowels of the sea and in the hidden depths 
of the earth. 

Fourthly, he will fill all men with admiration by his 
genius, and by the amazing rapidity of his elevation to 
the height of fortune and omnipotence. As for the 
ignorant and the multitude, he will fascinate them by 
marvels, cujus est adventus secundum operationem Satanae , 
in omni virtute et prodigiis mendacibus . [92] St. Thomas 
says that, just as Christ worked miracles in confirmation 
of His doctrine, so also the man of sin will work false 
miracles in confirmation of his errors; and just as the 
true Christ worked wonders by the power of* God, the author 
of all truth, so too His adversary will work, as we have 
indicated above, by the power of Satan, the father of 
fraud and lies. 

Thus, the man of sin will not perform true miracles, 
like Jesus Christ, but will perform false and apparent 
ones. All his wonderful works will be, in reality, mere 
illusions and works of fantasy; so that, as St. Athanasius 
says, when he appears to resurrect a dead man, either the 
man whom he resurrects will not really be dead, or else, 
if he is dead, he will not really be restored to life. 
Lastly, the same saint continues, the works performed by 
Antichrist which appear to transcend the laws of nature 
will not be miracles in the true sense, but effects and 
phenomena of the physical order, performed through the 
intermediary of certain secret, hidden and natural causes. 
The better to beguile men, Antichrist will permit licent- 
iousness and the dissipations of the flesh, and will 
stimulate the most intoxicating pleasures, totus erit in 
libidinibus et concupiscentiis feminarum .  

Fifthly, the persecution of Antichrist will be the 
bloodiest and most barbarous of all those which Christian- 
ity has ever suffered. Jesus Christ so assures us, when 
He says: "For there shall be then great tribulation, such 
as hath not been from the beginning of the world until 
now, neither shall be. "[94] This can be surmised if we 
refer back to two causes. The first is the vast power and 
the stupendous instruments of force and destruction which 
Antichrist will have at his disposal and, with these, the 
evil and fury of the men appointed to execute his commands. 
The second will be the terrifying wickedness of the devil 
for, says Saint John, in those days God will allow him to 
leave the fiery prison where he is chained, and will give 
him full permission to seduce and satisfy his hatred of 
the human race. [95] Whence it follows, says _St. Cyril, 
that there will then be multitudes of martyrs, more glor- 
ious and admirable than those .who formerly fought with 
lions, in the amphitheatres of Rome and Gaul. 

These had to struggle against mere agents of the 
devil, but the confessors, of the last ages will have to 
struggle against him who is a murderer from the beginning . 
To torment them, the old enemy will practise monstrous 
tortures with unheard-of refinements, unparalleled in past 
centuries, which the human mind could never have contrived 
to invent by itself. 

Finally - the last feature of the persecution of 
Antichrist - it will be so violent that it will succeed in 
making almost the entirety of Christians apostatize. "And 
it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to 
overcome them. "[96] "I beheld, and lo, that horn made war 
against the saints and prevailed over them. "[97] St. Paul 
informs us that Christ will not return until the great 
apostasy has come. [98] Interpreting these words of the 
Apostle, St. Augustine [99] tells us that if, in every age, 
we have seen believers renounce Christ on account of the 
wiles of heretics and the fear of persecutors and tyrants, 
nevertheless the defection which will take place under 
Antichrist is called the apostasy, properly speaking - 
because, in number and extension, this apostasy will ex- 
ceed all that has been seen in previous times. 

However, it would not be correct to conclude from 
this testimony that there will be none of the elect left 
on earth, and that the Son of God will fail to keep the 
promise made to His Church, when He said: Propter electos , 
dies bre viabuntur , because of the elect the days will be 
shortened. Moreover, St. John, in his Apocalypse adds: 
"And all that dwell upon the earth adored him, whose names 
are not written in the book of life. "

 St. Augustine 
tells us that, in the reign of Antichrist, there will be 
multitudes of martyrs who will display a heroic constancy, 
and also a number, more or less large, of confessors who 
will manage to escape into caves and high or sheer moun- 
tains, and God will see to it that these sanctuaries shall 
elude the vigilance and investigations of the persecutors, 
and will not permit the devil to point them out to them. 

Daniel tells us that, at the time when this terrible 
persecution breaks out, the abomination of desolation will 
openly sit enthroned in the holy place. "The king shall 
do according to his will," says Daniel. "He shall be 
lifted up and shall magnify himself against every god: and 
he shall speak great things against the God of gods... and 
he shall make no account of the God of his fathers. . .and 
he shall not regard any gods." 

"Once the man of sin has cowed the human race by his 
threats and entangled it in the meshes of his lies and 
wiles, he will observe no restraint, show his hand and act 
openly. He will not permit anyone to worship or invoke 
any other god than himself, and will proclaim himself sole 
lord of Heaven and earth. Wherever he is not present in 
person, men will be obliged to pay homage to his image or 
statue: Et elevabitur , maqnif icabitur ad versus omnem Deum . 

He will tolerate neither the Mosaic religion, nor natural 
religion itself. He will persecute with equal thorough- 
ness Jews, schismatics, heretics, deists and every sect 
that recognizes the existence of a supreme being and the 
immortality of the life to come. Yet God, in His wisdom, 
will draw good from evil. The horrible . tempest which His 
justice has allowed to be unleashed upon the earth will 
result in the disappearance of false religions. Along 
with Judaism, it will abolish the remains of Mohammedan- 
ism, idolatrous superstitions and every religion hostile 
to the Church. 

"It will deal the finishing blow to the sects of 
darkness. Freemasonry, Carbonari sm, Illuminism and all 
subversive societies will vanish in the vortex of wicked- 
ness which will be their work, and which they had prepared 
for centuries in the belief that it would be their defin- 
itive, supreme triumph. They will have assisted unintent- 
ionally in the establishment of the reign of unity fore- 
told by Our Lord: erit unum ovile et unus pastor . (John 
(Daniel 11:37) It is true that the 
prophet also intends, by these words, to depict the persecution 
of Antiochus and the fury against the Lord's people which_will 
fill this prince. Nevertheless, as Suarez observes, Antiochus 
was only the image of Antichrist, and the evils to which he 
subjected the faithful Jews are meant to be a brief outline of 
those which the Christians of the last days will endure. 


The triumph of the wicked one will be of short dur- 
ation; but the consolations which follow will be uni- 
versal, abundant, proportionate to the extent of the 
tribulations which the Church will have suffered. 

A son of Israel, converted not long ago, and today a 
priest and doctor, captivated by the grand spectacle which 
the Church of God will present in" that fortunate era when- 
Jews and Gentiles, seated .. at one and the same banquet, 
have become one and the same family, under the crook of a 
single shepherd, exclaims in a transport of joy: 

"In the life of Christ on earth, there were two great 
days of triumph when He was acknowledged as Messias and 
King: the feast of the Epiphany, which was a kind of morn- 
ing feast, which the assembled nations, represented in the 
persons of the Magi, gave to Jesus Christ; and Palm Sunday, 
which was the evening feast, given belatedly to Christ by 
Jerusalem: Palm Sunday, the day of Israel's acclamations. 

"Now today, after nineteen centuries of fidelity, 
the great feast of the Epiphany is forgotten by the 
nations and their leaders, who have rejected Christ and 
His Church. Let me then, in the eventide of the Church's 
life, salute the great Palm Sunday and the unexpected 
outburst of acclamation from the old race of Jacob. Let 
me salute and sing of this day, when the doors of the 
synagogue will be opened, amidst wild rejoicing, for the 
triumphal entry of the Messias, whom she has so long 
awaited but not acknowledged. Let me sing of the day when 
the remnant of Israel will strew their garments upon the 
path of Christ and His Church, and the air will be fra- 
grant with perfume from that blood which, this time, will 
fall as a stream of love upon Israel and her children. 
feast of Palms, rise forth over the Church... Jerusalem, 
Jerusalem, . how often would I have gathered together thy 
children, as the hen doth gather her chickens under her 
wings; but this time, Jerusalem, you will have desired 
it, you will have flung yourself beneath the wings. 
Hosanna and everlasting glory to Jesus Christ in the 
highest, and to the Church wherein Israel, after a long 
absence, has found again her Messias and King. "[102] 

However, the final consummation will not come yet, as 
it is written (Apocalypse, chapter 11) : 

"And the seventh angel soUnded the trumpet, and there 
were great voices in heaven" - voices of angels and of 
virgins, together with the voices of confessors and holy 
martyrs, will hail Christ with praise and acclamations, 
giving thanks for His victory over Antichrist, and for the 
extermination of the wicked. All men, now become wor- 
shippers of one and the same God, all professing the same 
faith, united in the same adoration, sharing the same 
table, will exclaim in chorus: "The kingdom of this world 
is become . Our Lord's and his Christ's... We give thee 
thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art and who wast and who 
art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great 
power, and thou hast reigned. " [103] 

Henoch and Elias

 Just when the tempest is at its most violent, when

the Church is leader less, when the unbloody sacrifice has 
everywhere ceased and everything seems humanly lost, two 
witnesses, St. John tells us, will be seen to arise. 

These two witnesses will be two strange men, appear- 
ing suddenly amidst the world, without anyone being able 
to say of what birth or origin they are, nor from what 
place or family they have come . 

This is how St. John speaks of them in the eleventh 
chapter of the Apocalypse: 

"And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they 
shall prophesy a thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed 
in sackcloth. These are the two olive-trees and the two 
candlesticks that stand before the Lord of the earth." 

No tongue can express the sheer amazement which will 
grip mankind, at the sight of these two men, strangers to 
our passions and affairs, one of them having lived six 
thousand years, the other thirty centuries, in some eth- 
ereal region or other, beneath. firmaments and upon spheres 
inaccessible to our senses and understanding. Yet, 
neither of these witnesses is alien to the human family. 
One of these candlesticks and olive-trees is Henoch, the 
great-great-grandfather of Noe, the direct ancestor of the 
whole human race. The other is the prophet Elias who, as 



[7 2] St* John does not tell us expressly that the two witnesses 
whom he mentions will be Henoch and Elias, but it is clear from 
the context that, by the two candlesticks and the two olive- 
trees, he does not mean any two saints or preachers, but two 
definite personages, endowed with an extraordinary power and 
holiness. Now - pondering all the facts and circumstances 
foretold to us about the life and death of these personages, 
and recalling all that we are told about them by Scripture, 
especially in Ecclesiasticus 4 8 and by the prophet Malachias, 
concerning the mission they will one day be called upon to 
fulfil - Bede,- St. Anselm, St. Augustine and a large number of 
the Fathers assure us that the two witnesses of whom the Apoc- 
alypse speaks are none other than Henoch and Elias, and that 
they were miraculously preserved from death for no other pur- 
pose- than to fight against Antichrist, and bear testimony to 
Jesus Christ, at- the end of the world. 



the Saviour has said, is destined to restore all things. 
 He will come a second time to stem the tide of 
wickedness, more reckless and unrestrained than it was in 
the days of Achab. It will also be the hour of the redemp- 
tion of_ -Israel. The great prophet will convince the 
posterity of Abraham that the Messias has come, and will 
remove the -veil of ignorance and darkness which has lain 
heavy upon their eyes for nineteen centuries. 

What sort of appearance and bearing will these strang- 
ers from another age present? What venerable majesty will 
shine forth from their persons? What inspired language^ 
will flow from their lips? Holy Scripture does not tell 
us. It teaches us that they will prophesy for one thous- 
and two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth, 
their garments and features bearing the marks of humility 
and penance. According to Daniel, the persecution of 
Antichrist will last for one thousand two hundred and 
ninety days; so the preaching of Henoch and Elias will be 
thirty days shorter. Hence it follows that they will 
appear in the period when the persecution is unleashed 
with the greatest violence. How, within the space of time 
set for their mission, will they manage to give their 
testimony in all inhabited places, and cover the whole 
extent of the earth? We answer that it will not be 
necessary for them to visit every town; it will be enough 
for them to appear in the principal ones, and for their 
preaching to be heard in the capitals and main centres of 
population where Antichrist has been present and has 
exercised his most powerful fascination. Furthermore, it 
is unlikely that Henoch and Elias will be constantly 
together: it is more probable that they will preach 
separately, until, by a command from God, or following a 
providential inspiration, they suddenly come together for 
the final battle. 


Cornelius a Lapide tells us that it is a certain truth, 
almost of faith, fidei proximum , that Henoch and Elias did not 
die. Tertullian, in book LVIII on the Resurrection, calls them 
"candidates of Eternity", in order to make us understand that 
they are freed from all misery and suffering, and incapable of 
sin. St. Irenaeus, bk.IV, ch.V, calls them coauspicantes 
immortalitatem , which means that they have the certain presage 
and omen of immortality. Neither Henoch nor Elias are yet 
glorified in their bodies; since they continue to be enveloped 
in flesh, from which, like us, they will one day be separated 
by death. The Fathers teach that Henoch was taken up into 
paradise, which is also the teaching of Ecclesiasticus 44:16. 
At the Flood, when the earthly paradise was submerged, Henoch 
was taken up into some unknown region of heaven, where Elias 
accompanied him when he was borne away on a fiery chariot. In 
their dwelling-place they live absorbed in the contemplation of 
divine things, in a state which is not that of heavenly bliss 
but in which they are inundated with divine consolations and 
enjoy continuous repose. As they have, in a certain sense, 
left this life and are no longer subject to trial, they cannot 
acquire new merits, nor grow in holiness. When, however, they 
return to earth at the end of the times, they will revert to 
the conditions of the present life, will again become liable to 
undergo suffering and, once more, will gain merit, whether by 
fighting Antichrist or by bearing witness, through their preach- 
ing and death, to Jesus Christ of Nazareth. 


At first, no doubt, incredulous men will refuse to 
admit their identity. They will seek to lay hold of them, 
and punish them as mountebanks and sham visionaries; 
public opinion will shower them with satirical barbs and 
mockery, and the organs of publicity will persist in 
ignoring them, and pretend not to know of them. The per- 
secutor, foaming with rage, will try to have them put to 
death; but, as long as their mission lasts, they will be 
guarded by a superior force. Here is what St. John, 
chapter 11, verse 5, says: "And if any man will hurt 
them, fire shall come out of their mouths and shall devour 
their enemies; and if any man will hurt them, in this 
manner must he be slain. These have power to shut heaven, 
that it rain not in the days of their prophecy; and they 
have powers over waters, to turn them into blood and to 
strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they will." 

The Gospel is not so specific about the result and 
efficacy of the mission of these two great witnesses; but 
it may be taken as certain that they will undeceive a 
large mass of the deluded, and bring back most of those 
whom fear or ambition had enticed from worship of the true 
God. Indeed their preaching will need to have a power 
which no other words since those of the Gospel have ever 
had, since it will overcome the obstinacy of the Jews, 
who, bowing to the lustre of the marvels and the evidence 
of the facts, will return beneath the staff of the Shep- 
herd of shepherds, to form with the Christians one flock 
and one fold. 

However, God gives His graces with due proportion. 
When the light has been given, when men have had all the 
time they need to distinguish -truth from error, God, in 
His wisdom, will then suspend the miracle. That is how 
Providence invariably acts. So it was of old with Samson 
when, once the Philistines had been humbled and defeated, 
God took away from him His spirit and the stupendous 
strength with which He had endowed him. Heaven proceeded 
again in the same way with Joan of Arc: once her mission 
had been fulfilled, when she had routed the English and 
placed the crown back upon the head of Charles VII, her 
genius and military talent seemed to pale; she was taken 
prisoner, and reverted to the  normal circumstances of 
human life. So shall it be in the case of Henoch and 
Elias. Besides, the miracle, if prolonged, would have no 
other effect than to confirm their obduracy stubborn 
men who had refused to receive their words with a submis- 
sive ear and heart. In short, the two witnesses are not 
dead, although one of them is six thousand and the other 
three thousand years old, and it is necessary that they 
should seal their testimony by the shedding of their 
blood, and be subjected to the law of human nature from 
which Christ Himself did not desire to be spared. 

Here then, is what will take place, says St. John, 
in the chapter already quoted: 

- "And when they shall have finished their testimony, 
- the beast that ascendeth out of the abyss shall make war 
against them and shall overcome them and kill them. And 
their bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city 
which is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt; where their 
Lord also was crucified. ' And they of the tribes and 
peoples and tongues and nations shall see their bodies for 
three days and a half; and they shall not suffer their 
bodies to be laid in sepulchres. And they that dwell upon 
the earth shall rejoice over them and make merry; and 
shall send gifts one to another, because these two pro- 
phets tormented them that dwelt upon the earth. And after 
three days and a half, the spirit, of life from God entered 
into them; and they stood upon their feet; and great fear 
fell upon them that saw them... And at that hour there was 
made a great earthquake; and the tenth part of the city 
fell. And there were slain in the earthquake, names of 
men, seven thousand; and the rest were cast into a fear 
and gave glory to the God of heaven." 

St. John does not tell us what the fate of Antichrist 
will be, but St. Paul teaches that "the Lord Jesus shall 
kill [him] with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy 
[him] with the brightness of his coming. "

Some have concluded from this passage that Christ is 
to come down in person to strike His great adversary, and 
that this will be the day when He will appear in His glory 
and majesty. This interpretation is incorrect. 

St. Thomas and St. John Chrysostom explain the words "quem 
Dominus Jesus destruet illustratione adventus sui" in the 
sense that Christ will strike Antichrist by dazzling him 
with a brightness, which will be like an omen and sign of 
His Second Coming. St. Paul does not at all say that 
Christ will kill him with His own hands, but by the spirit 
of His mouth, "spiritu oris sui," that is, as St. Thomas 
explains, by virtue of His power, as a result of His 
command: whether, as some believe, executing it through 
the co-operation of St. Michael the Archangel, or having 
some other agent, visible or invisible, spiritual or 
inanimate, intervene. 

What is certain is that Satan 
will be hurled back into the darkness of the abyss, the 

Cornelius a Lapide and Holzhauser say that, at the sight 
of the triumph of Henoch and Elias, Antichrist will be struck 
numb with fear; he will quiver with rage, and, in his over- 
weening pride and infernal presumption, will attempt to main- 
tain the nations in error by a novel and more sacrilegious 
hoax. With the aid of demons, he will rise majestically into 
the air from the Mount of Olives, and strive to reach Henoch 
and Elias in order to cast them down to the ground. At that 
grave moment, the virtue of the Almighty will strike him and 
throw him into the utmost ignominy and confusion. This inter- 
pretation of the Venerable Holzhauser is only an opinion, but it 
is possible, and does not conflict with the sacred text. 


The  reign of the man of evil will be utterly destroyed, and 
his power, which aspired to extend up to the heavens, will 
vanish like a cloud of smoke.

Thank a Catholic

If you are not constrained to fast during the month of Ramadan, thank a Catholic.


If you are not constrained to make The Hajj, thank a Catholic. 


It was the Catholic Church, and its Holy Warriors; it was The Catholic Church armed with the Rosary with its prayers to the Queen of Heaven, that delivered the West from the dark doctrines of Mahometanism in battles such as the one at Lepanto; like the battle at The Gates of Vienna; and like the Battle at Tours, France.


Thanks be to God for Holy Mother Church and The Theotokos, the Mother of God, for these great victories that kept The Faith and delayed for a time longer than thought possible the death of Liberty.


That plain and simple truth is - if it were not for the Catholic Church, y'all reading this would have been born a Muslim, subject to Shariah Law, and killed if you did not Confess that a psychotic, murdering, Jew hating, pedophilic and brigand, Mahomet, was a Prophet.
