Anyone who has read Fr. Vincent P. Miceli's 1981 book The Antichrist knows it's the best, most balanced, general-reader friendly book you're likely to read on eschatology (and specifically the Antichrist) but it's also the most uncannily prescient.

Some gems below:

"Irenaeus...tells us that those who spoke with St. John in person were also warned...not to play the guessing-game or the numbers game with the name of the Antichrist...those who fix on a certain name from their own speculations will be easily deceived by him when he arrives."

"[St. Newman says] When Christians have flung themselves into the arms of the world, Christ's enemy, when they depend for their protection on the world and have surrendered their independence, honor and strength to its approval, then will the Antichrist burst upon them in fury."

"No doubt...sophisticates will smile patronizingly at the prophecy of the Antichrist's coming...[and Liberal]...Christians will join the intellectual scoffers. It was thus in the days of Noah...It was thus in the days of Abraham...It was thus in the days of Christ." - Fr. Miceli

"[They]...are preparing today a world that will be ready and eager to accept the ideals and rule of the Antichrist when he comes. This will be a world saturated with witchcraft and occultism, a world which has demolished the temples and altars of God and set up altars to demons."

"...the Antichrist will be a political genius...as well as an intellectual genius. ...[He will] make use of brilliant heretics...[and] charismatic activists, politically talented, proficient leaders...who will ruthlessly establish his dictatorship of power." - Fr. Miceli

"Prepare yourself, therefore O Man, you have the signs of the Antichrist; and remember them not only for your self, but communicate them also freely to all around...lest they take the false for the true. For the mystery of iniquity is already at work." - St. Cyril of Jerusalem
