HOW LONG WILL THE KINGDOM OF ANTICHRIST LAST?
CHURCH FATHER: SAINT IRENAEUS (130-200 AD) "But when this Antichrist shall have devastated all things in this world he will reign for three years and six months, and sit in the temple at Jerusalem ; and then the Lord will come from heaven in the clouds, in the glory of the Father, sending this man and those wbo follow him into the lake of fire..." (The Reign of Antichrist: Sourcebook of Catholic Prophecies About "The Man of Sin", Rev. R. Gerald Culleton, page 79, TAN BOOKS AND PUBLISHERS, INC., Rockford, Illinois)
"He shall through his great power, deceit, and malice succeed in decoying or forcing to his worship two-thirds of mankind; the remaining third part of men will most steadfastly continue true to the faith and worship of Jesus Christ. But in his stanic rage and fury, Antichrist will persecute these brave and devout Christians during three years and a half, and torture them with such an extremity of barbarity, with all the old and his newly inventeded instruments of pain, as to exceed all past persecutors of the Church combined." (The Reign of Antichrist: Sourcebook of Catholic Prophecies About "The Man of Sin", Rev. R. Gerald Culleton, page 114, TAN BOOKS AND PUBLISHERS, INC., Rockford, Illinois)
FATHER HUCHEDE, CATHOLIC PRIEST (1884) Father Huchede sums up how the Church Fathers here quoted interpret the Apostle Saint John and the prophet Daniel: "The Prophet informs us that from the moment the perpetual sacrifice shall cease, which shall be the beginning of the general persecution, 'they shall be delivered into his hands until a time and times (and) a half a time' (Dan 7:25) This he repeats in the twelth chapter, and St. John employs the same expression to signify the time during which the woman, figure of the Church, will tarry in the desert. 'And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that whe might fly into the desert unto her pace, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time from the face of the serpent.' (Apoc. 12:14) St. Jerome remarks that the term 'a time' is generally employed in Holy Scripture in the sense of a year; the second term 'tempora' is translated by the plural form because the Hebrew and Greek texts employ the dual. the words of the sacred text should therefore be interpreted, 'a year, two years and a half year." However, the determination of the number of months removes all equivocation on the subject, as specified in the Apocalypse. 'And the holy city they shall tread under foot two and forty months,' (11:12), which is equivalent to three years and a half. Finally, to remmove all possible doubt on the matter, God has even revealed the number of days that the persecution will last: 'The abomination of desolation,' after the cessation of the perpetual sacrifice, must last, according to the Prophet, '1290 days.' (Dan. 12:11). In other words, three years and a half with a few days over. Hence, it is certain that this terrible persecution will last during three years and a half." Rev. P. Huchede, History of Antichrist, pages 26-27. TAN Publishers, Inc., Rockford, Illinois
CATHOLIC PRIEST, REV. FREDERICK WILLIAM FABER (d. 1863) Father Faber, in keeping with the Catholic prophecies cited in Rev. Culleton's book, also puts the reign of Antichrist at 3.5 years; he also holds that Antichrist will be Jewish, of the tribe of Dan; he will claim to be the Messias of Isael and be zealous for the temple. Jerusalem, not Rome, will be his metropolis, Faber claimed. "When his empire is at its full, it will last only three years and a half." (Father Faber, as quoted from secondary source The Reign of Antichrist: Sourcebook of Catholic Prophecies About "The Man of Sin", Rev. R. Gerald Culleton, page 174, TAN BOOKS AND PUBLISHERS, INC., Rockford, Illinois)
Thus, with only a few exceptions, one of which is St. Bridget, as quoted below, virtually all of the Catholic prophecies in Culleton's book put the reign of Antichrist at 3.5 years, because that is what the relevant Biblical texts suggest, as evidenced by the aforementioned prophecies by many of the most highly revered and officially honored authorities of the Catholic Church. In his authoritative but brief book on Antichrist, Father Huchede, in 1884, arrived at the exactly the same conclusion.
SAINT BRIDGET OF SWEDEN (d. 1373) "lastly, he shalll arrive, the most wicked of men, and, helped by the Jews, he will fight against the whole world; he will reign during three years, and shall have dominion over the whole earth; he will make every effort to abolish from the earth the Christian name, and very many Christians shall be killed." (The Reign of Antichrist: Sourcebook of Catholic Prophecies About "The Man of Sin", Rev. R. Gerald Culleton, page 139, TAN BOOKS AND PUBLISHERS, INC., Rockford, Illinois)
