“The time of Antichrist will be near when the measure of injustice will overflow and when wickedness has grown to immense proportions, when the Christians love heresies and the unjust trample underfoot the servants of God. Lastly, he [the antichrist] shall arrive, the most wicked of men, and, helped by the Jєωs, he will fight against the whole world; he will reign during three years, and shall have dominion over the whole Earth; he will make every effort to abolish from the Earth the Christian name, and very many Christians shall be killed.”
-St. Bridget of Sweden, 14th century
