“Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the “mystery of iniquity” in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. the supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist.” [CCC #675] The day and the hour is known by the Father, but just as the fig tree puts forth it’s leaves before the season of summer, so to do we know the transition from one Church Age to another is upon us.
