- a. Antichrist's rise to power in Middle East
- ===
-
-
- I p189 (cIII-34)
-
- The Antichrist will spend many years working silently behind the
- scenes to consolodate his power, and make his appearance onto the
- international arena once the structure is in place. He will have
- planned carefully and the countries he goes against will be
- unprepared for his golden-tongued treachery.
-
- I p 190 (cVIII-77)
-
- The Antichrist is the power behind the scenes, pulling the strings,
- and has not yet made his move to reveal himself. He is like a spider
- waiting for his time, taking advantage of the world situation to make
- his move.
-
-
- I p 180
-
- When his time comes he will take advantage of the political situation
- in a country to rise to power. It will not matter that he is not a
- native of the country. He will take advantage of loopholes and
- contrive positions. He may aggressively and audaciously seize a
- position in a military organization after his uncle dies, for
- example.
-
- I p 234 (cI-34)
-
- The Antichrist will foment rebellions within the countries he's aiming
- to take over. He will allow the various political splinter groups to
- believe he supports their cause, when he is actually playing them
- against each other. The countries will turn in on themselves,
- weakening them for his outside conquest.
-
- I p 219 (cII-23)
-
- The Antichrist will take over Iran by using a human decoy to trick the
- Ayatollah in power. This will involve the "yes men" and sycophants of
- the Ayatollah's court. The Antichrist will first drive away internal
- supporters of the Ayatollah by starting a civil war. Then he will put
- forth a man as a leader, a man for Iranians loyal to the Ayatollah to
- concentrate their hate on. The man will be assassinated while Iran is
- being taken over, and his opponents will think they have foiled the
- overthrow of power by assassinating him. But they will find out later
- he was merely a decoy and that they played into the plans of the
- Antichrist.
-
- I p 211 (cII-81)
-
- The Antichrist will initially obtain power in his own sphere, Asia,
- and the Middle East. As he grows out of this arena, i.e. into Europe,
- the next step will be into the Mediterranean, approaching from the
- south, his area of strength. Because of his Middle Eastern heritage
- he will have already united North Africans, who are sympathetic to his
- cultural background, with his Asian and Middle Eastern conglomerate.
-
-
- b. Antichrists' unified monetary system
- ===
-
- I p 219 (cI-40)
-
- The Antichrist will start uniting the monetary systems of his region
- to help merge them into a single political entity. His ambition to
- rule the world will be advanced by instituting a single currency with
- others going defunct. There will be a resistance to this,
- particularly by a popular, charismatic leader from Egypt, demanding
- the edict and law be withdrawn that requires the Arab nations give up
- their currencies and be submissive to the unified political
- conglomerate.
-
-
- c. Antichrist's seizure of Asia
- ===
-
-
- I p 189 (cIV-50)
-
- The Antichrist will take over Asia by appointing subcommanders to rule
- vast tracts of land for him. But their ties to him will be masked and
- the world will not realize they are merely puppets until a succession
- of them are installed in the place of predecessors. At first the U.S.
- will not interfere because it is thought the government was freely
- chosen by the people, but only later realize the leaders were forced
- on the populace as mouthpieces and tools for the Antichrist.
-
- I p 188 (cIII-95)
-
- Russia will be his first major Asian
- conquest and he will do it not through force but through guile and
- his compelling persuasiveness. He will trick the Russians to come
- under his power and there will be nothing they can do about it. They
- will think they are acting in their own best interests. The Middle
- East will be mostly under his control before he turns to Russia. Then
- he turns to China and the rest of the Asian continent, to build a
- position to take over the entire world. He will not trick the Chinese
- but will some other method.
-
-
- d. Antichrist's cultural eradication & European campaign
- ===
-
- I p194 (cII-15)
-
- When the second pope is assassinated, the Antichrist will begin his
- European campaign. The Prime Minister of Britain and the U.S.
- President will go into consultation over the matter. They will meet
- at sea like Churchill and Roosevelt did for better security and
- secrecy of the meetings.
-
-
- I p 211 (cII-81)
-
- During the use of his weapons and the ravages of war, one of the
- devastatingly effective plans of attack by the Antichrist is to
- threaten the destruction of the victim's cultural centers, not so
- much physical destruction of the populace. Because the population
- attributes great value to places and artifacts with large historical
- and cultural significance, the terrorist-extortionist technique will
- be very powerful in striking fear into his foe and "bringing them to
- their knees".
-
- To put Europe into an initial shock, he will begin to smash and
- destroy the city of Rome to rubble via aerial bombing raids. It will
- be destroyed to such an extent that the "seven hills of Rome" will be
- levelled. Rome will be be so annhilated as to be threatened by an
- encroachment from the sea, destroying all that is left.
-
- He will also threaten the cultural centers of Greece and the great
- Greek cultural centers of learning, including Athens. Most cultural
- treasures and major metropolitan centers of the entire peninsula
- will be destroyed. The world leaders will be momentarily shocked and
- paralyzed by his barbarity. In the presense of their indeciveness and
- absence of their action he will make great strides in taking over
- territory and governments. The Antichrist will continually use
- shocking and unprecedented moves like these to advance his domination
- throughout the entire WWWIII.
-
- The eradication of cultural treasures also fits in with the
- Antichrist's ulterior motive of wiping out the established culture to
- supplant it with his own, like the Moors attempted when they invaded
- Spain, except in his case on the level of an entire continent.
-
- I. p226 (cII-84)
-
- Drought and weather changes will take place during the time of
- troubles. The Antichrist will take over Italy and Greece by
- destroying the cultural centers to devastate morale of the subjugated
- citizens.
-
-
- e. Antichrist's ravage of the Catholic Church
- ===
-
- I p214 (cV-43)
-
- In addition to the cultural destruction of European cultural centers,
- the Antichrist will ransack the Vatican library with the intent of
- ultimately destroying it. He will do this to undermine the authority
- of the Vatican and break up the power fragments that remain. One way
- he will do this is by revealing important, controversial material
- hidden in the Vatican library that the Catholic church will be seen
- to have suppressed because of the threat to its authority. This will
- cause major schisms in the church as priests and students turn
- against each other in their theories and interpretations of the new
- material. The confusion and chaos will remove the Catholic church as
- an obstacle to the Antichrist's plans.
-
- I p215 (cI-62)
-
- The ransacking of the Vatican library by the Antichrist will bring to
- light and open to the world information, facts, and knowledge that
- had been suppressed for several centuries. Even though he uses
- violence, the Antichrist will actually be burning off his karma
- because of the positive effects of the release, starting a new cycle,
- higher cycle of his karma.
-
- I p216 (cII-12)
-
- The people involved with the Catholic church, particularly the
- priests, will cling to the old order even though it is not viable and
- dead as far as working within the reality of the changed times. The
- Antichrist and the last pope will be "robbing blind" the Church. The
- Antichrist will desecrate and raid the Vatican library and cart away
- the treasures of the church to help fund his armies. The Catholic
- church will become totally superfluous, and contribute to its own
- demise.
-
-
- f. Antichrist's invasion of Turkey
- ===
-
- I p 209 (cV-25)
-
- When the Catholic Church in Rome is finally destroyed in a devastating
- but mysterious "Act of Nature", people will be distracted from
- noticing the more important event of the time, the Antichrist
- invading Turkey.
-
- I p 222 (cII-29,V-54)
-
- After the destruction in Italy wrought by the Antichrist, he will go
- over the mountains through France via airplane. He will attack Europe
- from the south because he will have the solid backing of the Islamic
- world and will already have bloodily subjugated North Africa and the
- Middle east. He will set up regional headquarters in Turkey, and
- other outposts, to rule and advance further conquests.
-
-
- g. Switzerland alarmed by Antichrist's Nazism in Germany
- ===
-
- I p 220 (cI-61)
-
- While the Antichrist is in the process of taking over Europe, he will
- back the Nazi party in Germany. The current popularity of Nazism
- among the youth of Germany will lay the groundwork for this.
- Eventually Switzerland will become alarmed and break its
- centuries-old tradition of neutrality, taking the side against the
- Antichrist and actively fighting.
-
- I. p 229 (cII-39)
-
- Infiltrators, spies, and traitors in Germany, France, Spain, and Italy
- will be secretly working for the Antichrist's cause of taking over
- Europe. The education establishment will be abandoned because it is
- unsupportable during wartime.
-
-
- h. International (non)reaction to the Antichrist
- ===
-
- I p 220 (cII-96)
-
- Diplomatic foul-ups in other countries will permit the Antichrist to
- attain greater power. In the beginning, when he does not have a broad
- base of power but is building on it, those in power elsewhere who can
- do something about it will hesitate until it is too late. Even though
- people realize he wields great power "from the dark side", his
- demonic hatred and magnetism will enhance the fatal attraction. He
- will advance his campaign by invading and conquering neighboring
- countries, particularly because of the political turmoil and
- instability of the realm. Eventually he will subdue the entire Asian
- continent under his rule. The Antichrist will be in this period of
- increasing his power during the visit of the comet visible from the
- Northern hemisphere in about 1997.
-
- I p 225 (cI-37)
-
- The U.S. will vacillate in dissension during the conquests of the
- Antichrist. Its power, influence, and "can do" capabilities will
- have diminished in the international arena at the time. The populace
- will argue over involvement vs. noninvolvement. Shipping will be very
- dangerous because of submarine warfare practiced by the Antichrist.
- Enemy soldiers in foreign ports will foul up sea-based commerce. Many
- decisive battles in his wars will involve seaports. Many people will
- die far away from home in the war.
-
- I p 224 (cIII-7)
-
- The various weaker countries threatened by the Antichrist's
- imperialism will call on stronger ones for help, like the U.S. which
- will initially be neutral and uncommitted. The Antichrist will be
- attempting to take over part of the world using aerial warfare. In
- one battle in the night a squadron of unmarked planes will rebuff his
- advance, sent secretly by the U.S.
-
- I p213 (cV-86)
-
- Responsive, proactive countermeasures could have prevented the
- destruction caused by the Antichrist but the political and diplomatic
- strife among the Western powers will have failed to have "nipped the
- situation in the bud". England and the U.S. will have enough military
- power to confront the Antichrist but because of lack of consensus
- neither will act quickly. A newly established alliance between the
- two is only in its infancy at the time, and the powers have not
- established the authority of overall decision-making in time. Also, a
- breakdown in communications and transportation will cause important
- political analysts to be cut off from advising the leaders. Meanwhile
- the Antichrist will be making conquests in leaps and bounds.
