\chapter{The Antichrist and the Return of Christ}

\begin{obeylines}\section{A Message to Mankind}
The Advent of Christ is profoundly related to that of the Antichrist. The Christians of today, contrary to their saintly predecessors, care less about one or the other.

And yet, the divine Master had recommended to stay awake so to recognize and combat his Enemy. Despite this, we see today Jesus' disciples applauding and protecting the Antichrist. They even raise \textquotedbl{}prayers\textquotedbl{} for the success of its plans.
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}The spiritual light will be darkened. The sun will lose its brightness\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 24,29 / Revelation 6,12). \textquotedbl{}The salt has lost its taste\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 5,13).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

The misguided world runs freely towards its perdition. What is still left for us to grasp is the essential: spiritual salvation, in denouncing, before it is too late, the Antichrist who, at his coming fall, which is close at hand, will bring down his allies with him.
Therefore, we can be amongst those who, and with joy, prepare the Return, which is very close, of our Beloved Brother Jesus, the Messiah.
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Let anyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. (\textit{to all mankind})\textquotedbl{} (Revelation 3,22)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\section{The Return of Christ and the Antichrist}
In the traditional churches, no one, by an incomprehensible human respect, dares to speak of the Antichrist or to preoccupy itself with its identity; or even less, run the risk of denouncing it.

The independent believers address this study to all believers: Jewish, Christian or Muslim. Our purpose is to make them aware of the phenomenon of the Antichrist. We demonstrate this through the prophecies of the Holy Scriptures, that the State of Israel is the State of the announced Antichrist due to appear in Palestine before the Return of Jesus; hence the importance of denouncing it.

\section{The announcement of the Antichrist}
The Antichrist was announced by Jesus and the Apostles John \& Paul.

A clarification is needed before tackling the subject: some speak of the Antéchrist, which means precursor of Christ. Yet, it is about the Antichrist, the Enemy of Christ. In fact, the original text of the Bible, written in Greek by Saint John, speaks of the \textquotedbl{}ANTICRISTOS\textquotedbl{}, and reveals us the specific characteristic of this Enemy of Christ Jesus:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}The man who \textbf{denies that Jesus is the Christ­}, he is the liar, he is Antichrist.\textquotedbl{} (1 John 2,22)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

So, the \textquotedbl{}liar\textquotedbl{} is neither evil in general, nor atheism (non-belief in God), nor antitheism (opposition to God), but a refusal and opposition to the teachings and the person of Jesus. The rejection of his Messianism.

The Gospel tells us that this \textquotedbl{}Liar\textquotedbl{} may be an individual, or a group of people, \textquotedbl{}many antichrists\textquotedbl{}, individuals driven by the same spirit and having the same purpose contrary to that of Jesus.
Jesus, the first, has put us on guard against this Enemy by saying:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}…‘Take care that no one deceives you, because many will come using my name and saying, ‘I am the Christ’ and they will deceive many…’ (Matthew 24,4) ‘… If anyone says to you, then, ‘Look, the Christ is here’, or ‘He is there’, do not believe it; for false Christs and false prophets will arise and produce great signs and portents, enough to deceive even the chosen, if that were possible. There; I have forewarned you’\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 24,23-24).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Pope John Paul II was himself deceived by those who denied Jesus as Messiah. He received the Israeli Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu exclaiming \textquotedblleft{}God bless Israel!\textquotedblright{} He even went as far as prostrating at the Wailing Wall.

All throughout history, several Jews, in Europe most notably, proclaimed themselves as the awaited Messiah by the Jews. But they did not have the quality of the Antichrist, as none could produce any \textquotedblleft{}great signs\textquotedblright{} worthy of being recalled by history, and none was able to \textquotedblleft{}deceive the elect\textquotedblright{} as is the case today.

In these days, several Zionists were mistakenly taken as the awaited Messiah by the Jews. For example, we cite some politicians: Menahem Begin and Ariel Sharon. Amongst the rabbis: Meir Kahana and Schnœrsen, the rabbi of Lubavitch.

The words of Jesus lead us to believe that the Antichrist could be a group of men who, in mutual agreement, deny him and proclaim another Messiah. This is the case of the Zionists, who managed to produce a considerably indisputable and prodigious sign of the return of Israel, or \textquotedbl{}resurrection\textquotedbl{} as they call it. This explains why Jesus had said: \textquotedbl{}\textbf{Many} will come using my Name\textquotedbl{} and this multitude will not say: \textquotedbl{}We are Christs\textquotedbl{}, but \textquotedbl{}It is I \textbf{the Christ}\textquotedbl{}. We should understand: \textquotedbl{}It is I (\textit{the State of Israel}) the Christ, the savior of the Jews\textquotedbl{}. The Zionist masses indeed consider the State of Israel as messianic for the political salvation of the Jews alone, and based on this, want world domination.

Now, God's salvation is not political. Jesus was sent for the spiritual salvation of all mankind, not just the Jews through an Israeli state. It is why this state is that of the Antichrist, because, to conceive it, one has to start by denying that Jesus is the Christ.

The Antichrist has to operate great works, capable of dazzling the masses, even amongst Jesus' disciples. Did this not happen with Israel? Numerous are those who, still marveled, forget the violent Israeli injustices as well as their disavowal of Jesus, and let themselves literally be seduced by the \textquotedblleft{}prodigious\textquotedblright{} victories of the Hebraic army, to the point that so many Christians have forgotten their testimony to Jesus in favor of the Zionists. Have we not seen Christian leaders of states bend the knee before the tombs of Zionist leaders? The world prostrates before the \textquotedblleft{}Beast\textquotedblright{} (\textit{the Antichrist}), as Saint John says in Revelation Chapter 13, \textquotedbl{}adoring it saying: 'Who can compare with the Beast? Who can fight against it?'\textquotedbl{} The former US president Jimmy Carter personally prostrated at the feet of Theodore Herzl's tomb, the founder of Zionism, paying homage to the State of Israel.

Remaining on the subject of the Antichrist, Saint John tells us that it should appear in the future, but that its spirit was already in the world during his time, and that \textbf{many} antichrists and false prophets had already appeared:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}It is not every spirit, my dear people, that you can trust; test them, to see if they come from God; there are many false prophets (\textit{the Jews who fight the Gospel}), now, in the world. You can tell the spirits that come from God by this: every spirit which acknowledges that Jesus the Christ has come in the flesh is from God; but any spirit which will not say this of Jesus is not from God, but is the spirit of Antichrist (\textit{the anti-Christ Jews}), whose coming you were warned about. Well, now he is here, in the world. (\textit{active through the Jews against Jesus})\textquotedbl{} (1 John 4,1-3)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

John gœs on further in his second letter:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}There are \textbf{many} deceivers about in the world, refusing to admit that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. \textbf{They} are \textbf{the Deceiver}; they are the Antichrist. Watch yourselves, or all our work will be lost and not get the reward it deserves.\textquotedbl{} (2 John 1,7-8)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

This text is indisputably in favor of the Antichrist who presents himself as a \textbf{homogenous group} renouncing Jesus. Speaking of \textquotedbl{}many deceivers\textquotedbl{}, John straight away adds: \textquotedbl{}They are \textbf{the Deceiver}; they are the Antichrist\textquotedbl{}.

John thus unites all those who deny that Jesus is the Christ into a single entity. This unique entity is the Antichrist. The spirit of this Enemy of Christ is itself incarnate today, in a visible political entity that the Zionists, to better camouflage their intentions, have chosen to mask by the spiritual name of Israel. Here lies the seduction. It is why the Messiah recommends to stay awake, and reveals to John, in the Apocalypse, that the Jews are \textquotedblleft{}title usurpers\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 2,9 \& 3,9). Because the real Jew and the true Israel are the disciples of Jesus (Galatians 3,29 \& Colossians 3,11). In fact, St Paul says: \textquotedblleft{}Not all born Israelites belong to Israel\textquotedblright{} (Romans 9,6). A Christian who acknowledges the Zionist State of Israel is alien to himself.

It is in this way that John warns us against the \textquotedbl{}Deceiver\textquotedbl{}, the Antichrist, and explains that it will be formed by \textbf{many} deceivers who proclaim with one heart: \textquotedbl{}Jesus is not the Messiah; it is I, Israel, the Messiah\textquotedbl{}. And John asks Jesus' disciples to keep their eyes wide open, to stay awake, \textquotedbl{}or all our work will be lost...\textquotedbl{} (2 John 8).

St Paul calls the Antichrist \textquotedbl{}the Apostasy\textquotedbl{}, \textquotedbl{}The Wicked One\textquotedbl{}, \textquotedbl{}the Lost One\textquotedbl{}, \textquotedbl{}the Enemy\textquotedbl{} (\textit{Antichrist}). He informs us that he will appear before Jesus' Return and warns us, as Jesus did before him, that this Enemy will manifest itself showing prodigious signs, \textquotedbl{}that he enthrones himself in God's sanctuary (\textit{Vatican})\textquotedbl{}.

In fact, writing to the Thessalonians who believed in the imminent Advent of Jesus, Paul puts them on guard against all the false rumors on this subject:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Brothers, to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and how we shall be gathered around him: please do not get excited too soon or alarmed by any prediction or rumor or any letter claiming to come from us, implying that the Day of the Lord has already arrived. Never let anyone deceive you in this way. 
It cannot happen until the Great Revolt has taken place and the Rebel, the Lost One, has appeared. This is the Enemy (\textit{Antichrist}), the one who claims to be so much greater than all that men call \textquotedbl{}god\textquotedbl{}, so much greater than anything that is worshipped (\textit{we rise against God by refusing his plan in the Christ Jesus, who is God}),  that he enthrones himself in God’s Sanctuary, (\textit{by infiltrating himself among the disciples of Christ-God up till the Vatican}), and claims that he is God (\textit{which is to say that he is the Christ, the Christ is God}). Surely you remember me telling you about this when I was with you? And you know, too, what is still holding him back (\textit{the powerful Roman Empire which prevents the Jews of founding the Kingdom of Israel}) from appearing before his appointed time (\textit{when the political situation will be favorable}). Rebellion is at its work already (\textit{by the Jews who refuse Jesus and persecute the Apostles}), but in secret, and the one who is holding it back has first to be removed (\textit{the Roman Empire}) before the Rebel appears openly (\textit{from 1948}). The Lord will kill him with the breath of his mouth and will annihilate him with his glorious appearance at his Coming.

But when the Rebel comes, Satan will set to work (\textit{\textquotedbl{}you are from your father, the devil\textquotedbl{}, Jesus had said to the Jews who refused Him; John 8,44}): there will be all kinds of miracles (\textit{Israel’s \textquotedbl{}Resurrection\textquotedbl{}}) and a deceptive show of signs and portents (\textit{military and other}), and everything evil that can deceive (\textit{false peace based on the injustice with regards to the Palestinians}) those who are bound for destruction because they would not grasp the love of the truth which could have saved them. The reason why God is sending a power to delude them (\textit{Israel}) and make them believe what is untrue is to condemn all who refused to believe in the truth and chose wickedness (\textit{by supporting Israel}) instead.\textquotedbl{} (2 Thessalonians 2,1-11)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

All those who support the Antichrist take pleasure in injustice. To be satisfied with a deceptive peace made on the detriment of the legitimate rights of others and bear witness to Jesus, is to take pleasure in injustice.

Saint John's Book of Revelation was revealed to unmask the Antichrist that is called \textquotedblleft{}The Beast\textquotedblright{}. Chapters 13 and 17 speak of this at length: John sees the Beast that returns to existence after a period of disappearance. It is hit on the head with a fatal blow (Hitler's crime). The \textquotedblleft{}Dragon\textquotedblright{} (Satan) gives it an immense empire on the world. The \textquotedblleft{}Beast\textquotedblright{} heals from its wound and man is marveled at its resurrection and adores it exclaiming: \textquotedblleft{}Who can compare with the Beast? Who can fight against it?\textquotedblright{} Only the chosen resist it. The Beast, supported by a powerful nation that John calls \textquotedblleft{}the second Beast\textquotedblright{}, will even triumph on the saints themselves for a certain time, but will end with its defeat. It will assemble its subjects from the four quarters of the earth in Palestine, and in Jerusalem itself, before going to its final destruction (Revelation 20,7-9). After its fall, many will believe in Jesus and prepare themselves to receive him, drawing Him with the cry \textquotedblleft{}Come, Lord Jesus\textquotedblright{} (Revelation 22,20).

\section{The Antichrist, sign of the Return of Christ}
The attentive reader notices that the advent of the Antichrist is intimately linked to the Return of Christ Jesus and, as a fact, announces it. Hence the importance of recognizing the Enemy, to prepare to receive the Friend.

The Antichrist appears at the end of times to purify God's people by entraining, in its wake, all lovers of lies and injustice. After the definite disappearance of the Antichrist, a purified humanity will remain, open to the Spirit of Jesus and ready to welcome him.

\section{Return of the Messiah}
At the Ascension of Jesus, the assembled Apostles watched him rise when two angels appear to them and tell them:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Why are you men from Galilee standing here looking into the sky? Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, this same Jesus \textbf{will come back} in the same way as you have seen him go there\textquotedbl{} (Acts 1,11).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Jesus Himself, had spoken of his Return:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}Therefore, you too must stand ready because the Son of Man \textbf{is coming} at an hour you do not expect.\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 24,44)

\textquotedbl{}But when the Son of Man \textbf{comes, will he find} any faith on earth?\textquotedbl{} (Luke 18,8)

\textquotedbl{}… the disciples came and asked him privately: ‘Tell us, when is this going to happen, and what will be \textbf{the sign of your coming} and of the end of the world?’ And Jesus answered them, ‘Take care that no one deceives you; because many will come using my name and saying: ‘I am the Christ’…\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 24,3-4)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

These verses demonstrate indeed, that \textbf{the most evident} sign of Christ's Return, is the apparition of the Antichrist. Jesus also gave other signs:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}‘And when you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened, for this is something that must happen first but the end is not so soon’… ‘When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you must realize that she will soon be laid desolate’… Jerusalem will be trampled down by the pagans until the age of the pagans is completely over.\textquotedbl{} (Luke 21,9-24)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

This is thus about the end of the times of the Pagans. The modern Pagans are represented by the men of the Antichrist who \textquotedblleft{}deny that Jesus is the Christ\textquotedblright{}. Their armies today occupy Jerusalem, on which they will tread until the end of the period of time accorded to them. The circulating rumors of peace should not \textquotedblleft{}deceive\textquotedblright{} us, and are fulfilled but to accomplish the overall picture of the prophecies that concern the Return of Christ. St Paul, writing to the Thessalonians with regards to this Return, tells them:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}You will not be expecting us to write anything to you, brothers, about ‘times and seasons,’ since you know very well that the Day of the Lord is going to come like a thief in the night. It is when people (\textit{Jews}) are saying: ‘How quiet and peaceful it is that the worst suddenly happens, as suddenly as labor pains come on a pregnant woman; and there will be no way for anybody to evade it.\textquotedbl{} (1 Thessalonians 5,1-3).\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

Damnation will fall on the Antichrist and his allies. These severe words are not addressed to the faithful of Christ, since soon after, St Paul continues by saying to the same faithful:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}But it is not as if you live in the dark, my brothers, for that Day to overtake you like a thief. No, you are all sons of light and sons of the Day: we do not belong to the night or to darkness, so we should not go on sleeping, as everyone else does, but stay wide awake and sober.\textquotedbl{} (1 Thessalonians 5,4-6)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em} 

There is but one way to stay awake: recognize the Antichrist! A single way permits us today to remain sober: not to let ourselves be exhilarated by the false feats or wonders of the Impious One, all based on injustice. It is these false portents \textquotedbl{}that can deceive those who are bound for destruction\textquotedbl{} (2 Thessalonians 2,10). Their refusal of the evident Truth and their scorn for the evangelical prophecies rendered them blind, \textquotedbl{}suppressing the Spirit\textquotedbl{} (1 Thessalonians 5,19-22).

Jesus did not fix the date of his return, but asks us to recognize the signs. Those who think that they cannot know this time, base themselves on the words of Jesus: \textquotedbl{}But as for that day and hour, nobody knows it, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, no one but the Father only.\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 24,36) Now here, Jesus speaks of a fixed date which is not his mission to reveal. Yet this dœs not mean that He dœs not ask us to \textbf{explicitly} recognize the signs of the times. Indeed so, since He tells us that at the end of the world, the Son of Man \textquotedbl{}will send his angels with a loud trumpet to gather his chosen from the four winds...\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 24,31) He even recommends his chosen to discern the signs of His Return:
\par\vspace{0.5em}\begingroup\leftskip=1.5em\rightskip=1.5em\noindent \textquotedbl{}‘Take the fig tree as a parable: as soon as its twigs grow supple and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. So with you when you see all these things: \textbf{know} that he is near, at the very gates.’\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 24,32-33)\par\endgroup\vspace{0.5em}

\section{The role of the Apostles of the end of times}
The first Apostles had as a mission to reveal that Jesus is the Messiah, to explain, by the Scriptures, \textquotedbl{}that the Christ should suffer and rise from the dead\textquotedbl{} (Acts 17,2-3).

Jesus also says, that at the end of times, \textquotedbl{}He will send his angels with a loud trumpet to gather his chosen from the four winds...\textquotedbl{} (Matthew 24,31). These \textquotedbl{}angels\textquotedbl{}, in prophetic language are envoys, Apostles \textquotedbl{}of the end of times\textquotedbl{}. The role of these last Apostles is double:

\begin{enumerate}
\item  To reveal the identity of the Antichrist, starting from the Holy Scriptures.
\item To prepare the faithful for the close Return of Christ, in explaining the signs of the times
\end{enumerate}

The first Apostles came up against many difficulties in preaching Jesus to the Jews, who did not await a crucified Messiah, and who was crucified by them. In their mission, the Apostles of the end of times come up against much more difficulties than their predecessors, because the Christians do not expect a glorified Antichrist, and which is glorified by them.

Although announced by the Apostles, the Antichrist is neither expected, nor denounced by the regular hierarchies of the Churches, who even neglect talk of this subject and to place on guard their respective faithful.

The Antichrist, the experienced false prophet, knows how to present itself as a persecuted lamb, and hides its numerous crimes and Machiavellian designs: \textquotedblleft{}Beware of false prophets who come to you disguised as sheep but underneath are ravenous wolves\textquotedblright{}, Jesus says (Matthew 7,15). Despite all the recommendations of the Master, not a single leader expects to see it appear under its present form.

Master of seduction, the \textquotedblleft{}Deceiver\textquotedblright{} presents itself in the name of peace: \textquotedblleft{}shalom!\textquotedblright{} It is this way that many let themselves be deceived, instead of staying awake and reminding it that real Peace comes from the One whom the prophets call \textquotedblleft{}The Prince of Peace\textquotedblright{}, Jesus, the Unique true Messiah, beyond which any peace is illusory. The mission of the Apostles of the end of times is to proclaim and remind people of this divine Truth.

The Antichrist, unsuspected and encouraged by all those it has deceived, penetrates everywhere. It is received with dignity, even in the Vatican, in God's enclosure, without speaking to it about the demands of faith to Jesus and Justice. Instead of reproaching it with regards to the millions of Palestinians that they have violently exiled, they congratulate it because of its \textquotedbl{}pacific\textquotedbl{} initiatives and pray for the success of its projects. Was not St Paul right by saying that the Deceiver \textquotedbl{}will enthrone himself in God's sanctuary?!\textquotedbl{} (2 Thessalonians 2,4)

The Christians allowed themselves to be deceived. They still take the persecutor Antichrist for a persecuted lamb. Rare are those who are perceptive and who recognize in it the \textquotedbl{}ravenous wolf\textquotedbl{}, the persecutor, the expan-sionist, which dreams of the \textquotedbl{}Greater Israel\textquotedbl{}, and against whom we should defend ourselves. 

Christians who support Israel are not justified, as the prophecy is clear: The Antichrist is \textquotedblleft{}the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ\textquotedblright{} (1 John 2,22). Christians are not ready to establish the link between John's prophecy and the historical manifestation of the \textquotedblleft{}Wicked One\textquotedblright{}. Moved by the Hitlerian holocaust, and fooled by the \textquotedblleft{}miraculous\textquotedblright{} Israeli victories, Christians refuse to recognize Israel as the announced Antichrist \textquotedblleft{}who denies that Jesus is the Christ\textquotedblright{}. And yet, only prophecy can lighten up the watchful eye.

The \textquotedblleft{}Deceiver\textquotedblright{} knows how to make the Western consciences feel guilty, particularly with Auschwitz and the four crematoriums. Yet, nobody makes it feel guilty because of its crimes towards the millions of Palestinians in Palestine and exiled Palestinians. Moreover, as monstrous as it was, Hitler's crime dœs not exceed in horror that of Hiroshima and Nagasaki for example, and dœs not allow us, in any way, to give to the Antichrist Deceiver another name and another face, other than already attributed to it by Christ himself and his Apostles after him.

The Christian must not forget, finally, that the most heinous crime in history remains the putting to death of Jesus.

There are Christians who refer to St. Paul's epistle to the Romans (Romans 11,1-32), to take Israel's defense. It is important to reveal that Paul speaks of the Jews, and not of a Jewish \textquotedblleft{}State\textquotedblright{}. Paul's aim is to invite the Romans to not consider all the Jews, once and for all and without distinction, as excluded from faith in Jesus. It is why he tells them: \textquotedblleft{}I, an Israelite, descended from Abraham through the tribe of Benjamin, could never agree that God had rejected his people, the people he chose specially long ago...\textquotedblright{} (Romans 11,1-2). But, to be \textquotedbl{}grafted\textquotedbl{} among God's people, Paul submits the Jews to a condition: to believe in Jesus. In fact, he says: \textquotedbl{}\textbf{If they give up their unbelief}, (\textit{by their rejection of Jesus}), they will be grafted back in their place.\textquotedbl{} (Romans 11,23) The condition of their salvation is clear.

Additionally, when thinking of Romans 11,1-32, we should not omit to mention, what the same Apostle, Paul, tells the Thessalonians with regards to the Jews: \textquotedbl{}... suffering the same treatment from your own countrymen as they have suffered from the Jews, the people who put the Lord Jesus to death, and the prophets too. And now they have been persecuting us, \textbf{and acting in a way that dœs not please God}, and makes them \textbf{enemies of the whole human race}...\textquotedbl{} (1 Thessalonians 2,14-15). They are anti-Christ and anti-mankind.

The Christian's attitude towards the Jews should be like Paul's: testimony and an appeal. But no one in the Church should support a Jewish \textquotedbl{}State\textquotedbl{}, whose spirit is contrary to that of Christ Jesus. Love for the Jews incites us to invite them to Salvation by believing in Jesus. The worst anti-semitism is to let the Jews rot and persevere in error.

The Jews who, yesterday, prevented the Apostles from preaching that Jesus is the Messiah, \textquotedbl{}are disliked by God, and made themselves the enemies of man\textquotedbl{}. Likewise, today, those who prevent to reveal that the Antichrist is Israel, are the enemies of God and men.

Some Christians refuse to oppose Israel because of the 2nd Vatican Council. According to them, the Council dœs not permit them. It is misunderstanding the Council's intentions. These Christians refer to the declaration \textquotedbl{}The Church and Non-Christian Religions\textquotedbl{} divulged on November 5 1965, soon after the mentioned Council, which deals with the relationship of the Catholic Church with the various religions. Article 4 of this declaration is reserved to the Jewish religion. There is nothing in this declaration that can prevent a Christian from inviting the Jews to Salvation by believing in Jesus. Nothing prevents a Christian from saying what was said here. Moreover, we emphasize that our attitude is not towards Jews as a people - because we believe in religious freedom - but with regards to Israel as a State that wants to be biblical and messianic. In addition, we pick up in the same declaration that \textquotedbl{}the Church condemns all persecutions against all men, whœver they are\textquotedbl{}; the Church \textbf{must} therefore remind Israel of its obligations towards the Palestinian People.

The Christian of the XXth century is ready to see the Antichrist in atheist communism, in the society of consumption, in the atomic bomb, in Islam (who by the way recognize Jesus as Messiah), and even in Christian rites other than their own, but jump to say whenever Israel is designated: \textquotedbl{}You are talking politics!!!\textquotedbl{} It is odd that Christians do not consider it politics when they think that the Antichrist is communist Russia. \textquotedbl{}It is that Russia is atheist\textquotedbl{}, they answer. Russia could even be anti-theist without having the specific characteristic of the Antichrist. It is Israel, that is manifestly the anti-Christ.

Every true Apostle would be sorry to see that, amongst Christians, all lies are absorbed. Solely the truth is blocked and justice is rejected; often by the most instructed and the most responsible, who let themselves be convinced by the \textquotedblleft{}seductions of injustice\textquotedblright{}.

The Virgin Mary appeared in 1846, in La Salette (France). She denounced the clergy's treason, qualifying them as \textquotedbl{}cesspools of impurity\textquotedbl{}, and that \textquotedbl{}the devil has bedimmed their intelligence\textquotedbl{}. She reveals the apparition of the Antichrist, the Beast, in the near future. It will be born \textquotedbl{}of a Hebrew nun, a false virgin (\textit{false Jews}); its father will be bishop\textquotedbl{} (\textit{allusion to the collaboration of the Christians with the Antichrist}). (See the text \href{/en/the-explanation-of-marys-message-in-la-salette/}{\textquotedbl{}The Explanation of Mary’s Message in La Salette\textquotedbl{}}).

Jesus has promised to send his angels, the Apostles of the end of Times, to gather his elect from the four quarters of the earth against the Antichrist. We are convinced that the Breath of the Holy Spirit will inflame their hearts and arouse their enthusiasm, so that they will stand up as one man in defense of faith and justice. They will prepare the believers after the fall of the Antichrist, to the reception of Christ Jesus at the time of his near Return.
