“In presenting this book to the reader we, with God’s help, have decided to reveal the true signs of the coming of Antichrist which will occur before the world’s end. This is especially important for ordinary people, who, like leaves, waver in their understanding about the Antichrist, credulously blown about, accepting various false explanations. Devout reader! Accept without fear the spiritual food offered by this book; forsake all doubts, for you can be assured that everything we speak of will be founded on the Word of God and the interpretations of the Holy and God-bearing Fathers and Teachers of the Church[...].”
