The Miracles of Antichrist
INTRODUCTION
“When Antichrist comes, he shall seem as Christ”
I
THE EMPEROR’S VISION
It was at the time when Augustus was emperor in
Rome and Herod was king in Jerusalem.
It happened once upon a time that a very great
and holy night sank down over the earth. It was
the darkest night ever seen by man; it seemed as if
the whole earth had passed under a vault. It was
impossible to distinguish water from land, or to find
the way on the most familiar paths. And it could
not be otherwise, for not a ray of light came from
the sky. All the stars stayed in their houses, and
the fair moon kept her face turned away.
And just as intense as the darkness was the silence
and the calm. The rivers stood still in their course;
the wind did not stir, and even the leaves of the
aspen ceased to tremble. Any one walking by the
sea would have found that the waves no longer broke
on the shore, and the sand of the desert did not
crunch under the wanderer’s foot. Everything was
as if turned to stone and without motion, in order
not to disturb the holy night. The grass did not
dare to grow, the dew could not fall, and the flowers
feared to exhale their perfume.
