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.
