This is the prophecy of Isaiah concerning Antichrist: “And when that time had passed, Berial, the great angel, the prince of this world, Berial will descend from his place in the form of a man; an impious king, the murderer of his mother, a king of this world.
“And he will pluck up from amongst the twelve apostles the plant that they had planted, and it will fall into his hands.
“And all the powers of the world will do the will of the angel Berial, the impious king.
“At his word, the sun will shine in the darkness of the night, and the moon will appear at the eleventh hour.
“He will do all his pleasures; he will ill-treat the Well-Beloved, and will say to him, Lo! I am God, and before me there is none other.
“And all the world will believe in him.
“And sacrifice will be offered to him, and a worship of adoration, saying, He alone is God, and there is none other.
“Then the greater number of those gathered together to receive the Well-Beloved will turn aside to Berial;
“Who by his power will work miracles in the cities and in the country;
“And everywhere shall a table be spread for him.
