Fear of the Antichrist


A nun asked Saint Paisios the Athonite:

"Elder, when I hear about the Antichrist, I feel a fear inside me."

He replied:

"What are you afraid of? Will he be more terrible than the devil? He is a man. Why Saint Marina beat up the devil and Saint Justina dispersed so many demons. All in all, we did not come to be comfortable in this world."
