Prophecy
of Saint Nilus (400-450 AD)
The Lord graciously put this into my hands,
a few days ago, I have been absolutely amazed at this prophetic
word given almost 1600 years ago, and that this prophecy is
on Roman Catholic website after Roman Catholic website. So I
felt strongly to put this out for your examination and consideration
as to where we are in God’s time, and to further heighten fellow
believers in preparing themselves for what is already in our
midst and what it shall surely become in not many days hence.
After the year 1900, toward the middle of
the 20th century,
the people of that time will become unrecognizable. When
the time for the advent of the Antichrist approaches, people's
minds will grown cloudy from carnal passions, and dishonor and
lawlessness will grow stronger. Then the world will become
unrecognizable. People's appearances will change, and
it will be impossible to distinguish men from women due to their
shamelessness in dress and style of hair.
These
people will be cruel and will be like wild animals because of
the temptations of Antichrist. These will be no respect
for parents and elders, love will disappear, and Christian pastors, bishops, and priests will
become vain men, completely failing to distinguish the right
hand way from the left. At that time the morals and traditions
of Christians and the Church will change.
People will abandon modesty, and dissipation will reign.
Falsehood (False teaching, false doctrine) and greed (In the church)
will attain great proportions, and woe to those who pile up
treasures. Lust, adultery, homosexuality, secret deeds
and murder will rule in society.
At
that future time, due to the power of such great crimes and
licentiousness, people (Christians) will be deprived of the grace of the Holy Ghost, which they received
in Holy Baptism, and equally of remorse.
The Churches of God will be deprived of God-fearing
and pious pastors, and woe to Christians remaining in the world
at that time; they will completely lose their faith because
they will lack the opportunity of seeing the light of knowledge
from anyone at all. Then they will separate themselves
out of the world in holy refuges in search of lightening their
spiritual sufferings, but everywhere they will meet obstacles
and constraints.
And all this will result from the fact that the Antichrist wants
to be Lord over everything and become ruler of the whole universe,
and he will produce miracles and fantastic signs. He will
also give depraved wisdom to an unhappy man so that he will
discover a way by which one may can
carry on a conversation with another from one end of the earth
to the other. At that time men will also fly through the
air like birds and descend to the bottom of the sea like fish.
And when they have achieved
all this, these unhappy people will spend their lives in comfort
without knowing, poor
souls, that it is deceit of the Antichrist. And the impious
one! -- he will so complete science with vanity, that it will go off
the right path and lead people to lose faith in the existence
of God in these hypostases.
Then the All-good God will see the downfall
of the human race and will shorten the days for the sake of
those few who are being saved, because the enemy wants to lead
even the chosen into temptation, if that is possible... then the sword of chastisement will suddenly appear and kill the
perverter and his servants.
