St. John Maximovitch on the Antichrist's deception and the falling away
The post presents a quotation attributed to St. John Maximovitch describing the Antichrist as exceedingly intelligent and highly skilled in dealing with people. According to the saint, in the Antichrist's days many will abandon the faith, and even a number of bishops will betray it. To justify themselves, these bishops will say that everything is well within the Church.
The spirit of compromise will steadily increase, and the steadfast confession of the faith will disappear. People will become ever more inclined to depart from the truth and accommodate themselves to sin. The text appears as a standalone quotation with hashtags identifying it as Orthodox Christian content related to saints and church fathers.
