Fr. Miceli doesn't pretend to know who the Antichrist is, where he'll appear, or when. But he does line up the signs of the times - linking these signs with the prophecies in Daniel, the New Testament, the early Church Fathers - and prophetic modern voices like Newman, Solzhenitsyn, Pius XII. Some of his insights are jolting:
- Six key features of the modern world that correspond alarmingly with apocalyptic
- Three stages in the evolution of evil as it prepares man to receive and worship Antichrist. How far have we proceeded?
- The Antichrist and the New Christianity. Five marks of the latter, all dissected
- Abortion: the assault on life by the forerunners of the Antichrist
- The role of Islam and the Jews in the end times
- The Antichrist's precursors: how to identify them
- One reliable sign of the Antichrist. Five things we know about him. Will he be different from Satan? One man or many? For answers, Fr. Miceli turns to Scripture and the early Fathers
- How Western - especially American - society's war against religion in public life corresponds to key apocalyptic prophecies
- Common misconceptions about the Antichrist spread by televangelists and popular books
- To whom does God give the gift of prophecy? How should we look upon modern-day evangelists who claim the gift? Rules for recognizing false prophets
- 10 features of Antichrist's religion, according to Church Fathers. Where will he rise? How he will persecute the Church
Fr. Miceli avoids the extravagant speculation that mars many popular books on apocalyptic themes, including some Catholic ones.
