We
know nothing of Blessed Dionysus life but here is part of an extract from one
of his writings:-
The
conception of Antichrist will be like Christ's except that it will be by the
devil instead of the Holy Ghost. He
will have the devil's power like Christ had God's.
Antichrist
will present himself to the Jews as the Messiah. They will be his followers." (2 Thess. 2:9)
Antichrist
will have the powers of the devil from the beginning. He will be so evil it would seem his father was the devil. (See also par. 51 as note above). He will inherit his evil tendencies from his
mother, who will also train him in evil.
His
wife will be a Jewess but he will have many women, especially the daughters of
rulers. (Dan. 11:27).
Antichrist's
life will be a mockery of Christ's. He will
be a convincing speaker, have great knowledge, the gift of tongues (Apoc. 13:5)
and be a child wonder at six or seven.
He
will take the riches of the world to Jerusalem and appear to have power over
natural laws.
Elias
will cause the rain, dew and snow to cease in those countries where the
inhabitants oppose the two prophets and refuse to reject Antichrist. The first land to be so punished will be
Palestine in order to win over the Jews.
After Elias finds the `Ark of the Covenant' of the Jews, (hidden until
the recall of the Jews to God), he and Henoch will place the Blessed Sacrament
upon it. The Jews will then realise the
Jesus Christ and not Antichrist is the true Messiah. They will desert Antichrist and make a pilgrimage to Mount
Nebo (where the Ark is found) bewailing
the hardheartedness of their ancestors.
Thereafter they will accept the Christian faith.
The
Antichrist will kill Henoch and Elias and leave them unburied. These will, however, be resurrected after
three and one-half days and ascend into heaven in a cloud in the presence of
their enemy. This miraculous event will
actually confuse Antichrist. In order
that the nations will not abandon him, he will lift himself with great majesty
into space on Mt. Olivet, with the purported intention to cast down the
prophets who have ascended into heaven.
But in this moment Christ will strike him down. The earth will open and swallow him and his
prophets alive. Then a large part of
Jerusalem will fall into ruins from the earthquake."
Antichrist
will be an iconoclast (even against pagan images). Most of the world will adore
him. He will teach that the Christian religion is false, confiscation of
Christian property is legal, Saturday is to be observed instead of Sunday, and
he will change the ten commandments... He will read people's minds, raise the
dead, reward his followers and punish the rest." "Antichrist will
fight a successful battle at Megiddo in Palstine after which seven rulers, from
fear, will subject themselves to Antichrist and he will thereafter become lord
of the world
“At
the time when anti-Christ is about twenty years of age, the whole world will be
without faith, subjects will be oppressed by rulers and others in authority. In
every period of tribulation God aided His Church, and He will do it in the time
before the coming of anti-Christ. From the midst of His Church He will raise up
a Christian ruler who will perform most remarkable deeds. With Divine
assistance, this ruler will not only lead erring souls back to the true faith
but also deal a heavy blow To the foes of the empire, the Turks, take away
their empire and restore it to Christianity
Enoch
and Elias will be bourne with the speed of lightening in a fiery chariot from
paradise to Jerusalem. There they will hasten into the Temple and announce that
this godless being who is being honoured in the temple is he whom the prophets
have foretold as antichrist. The two prophets will publically denounce him.
They will reveal their own indentity and will prove from Holy scripture that
their appearance on earth was promised by God. Elias will preach principally to
the Jews and Enoch to the Mohammedans and other nations.
After
the discovery of the ark of the covenant, Enoch and Elias will restore the Holy
Sacrament of the altar because of the fact that the ark of the covenant will be
in the posession of the Holy Prophets and not in antichrists hands, the Jews
will recognize that Jesus Christ is the
true messiah. A great throng of Jews from all lands will then make their
way to Mount Nebo.
