St Augustine’s antithesis...
between the two cities which have fought one another throughout history - the Civitas Dei and the Civitas Diabuli - is the key to interpretation of the Mysterium iniquitatis [2Thess.2:7].
The City of God consists of the Church of Jesus, and the other City of the followers of Satan, who opposes Christ. The two cities fight one another on earth as two armies. Their aim is to annihilate one another, and their encounter is therefore continuous and implacable [onverbiddelijk].
The globalisation of chaos represents the final historical phase of the centuries-old attack waged by anti-Christian forces against the Church and Christian civilisation.
