Summary
Fr. Athanasios Mytilinaios continues Saint Cyril of Jerusalem's fifteenth catechesis with Christ's warning in Matthew 24:15 about Daniel's abomination of desolation standing in the holy place. He observes that Scripture often uses cryptic language to protect believers, citing Paul's restrainer and the use of Babylon for Rome in Revelation. Daniel's prophecy he reads through repeated fulfillments, first in Antiochus Epiphanes' desecration of the Temple and then in the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, while Christ's command that those in Judea flee becomes a saving sign, and the memory of Lot's wife a warning not to cling to possessions. The final fulfillment he links to the Antichrist, who appears suddenly, enters the Temple, and exalts himself above every object of worship; drawing on 2 Thessalonians, he describes him as a fully human man of sin and son of perdition, animated by satanic pride yet not an incarnation of Satan.
