On Antichrist
Excerpt from: Antichrist, by Archpriest Boris Molchanoff
"People are lead into such a complete slavery of the soul by the leaders of today's revolution. Their teaching and slogans are clothed in high-sounding language about universal equality and brotherhood, but in reality they try to entice men to dwell on material happiness alone, diverting them from all exalted moral and religious aspirations. When material goods become man's sole value, he becomes without fail completely enslaved to anyone who will give him that good. The materialistic education of people will give Antichrist limitless power, for all the means of existence will be controlled by him totally. He will distribute them lavishly to his followers and lackeys. And the man who has not taught himself abstinence, and who does not have steadfastness of soul and principle, will be compelled to submit to his will. "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark on their right hand, or in the foreheads...that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name" (Rev 13:16-16).
