Julian the Apostate, the Rebuilt Temple & the Great Apostasy: A Catholic Prophetic Warning (Part 2)

About this sermon

Julian the Apostate didn’t just reject Christ—he tried to fight Him. In this powerful Catholic sermon, we take a deep look at the short but catastrophic reign of Emperor Julian (361–363 AD), his culture war against the Church, his attempt to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem to discredit Our Lord’s prophecy, and how all of this serves as a type of the Antichrist and the Great Apostasy. Drawing on early Church historians and Doctors of the Church like St. Gregory Nazianzen, St. John Chrysostom, and St. Ambrose, this talk shows how God intervened dramatically to stop Julian’s plans — from silenced oracles and burnt pagan temples to miraculous signs that prevented the rebuilding of the Temple. You’ll hear about: Julian’s “tolerant” religious liberty and selective law enforcement used as weapons against Christians His orchestrated culture war: dechristianizing schools, civil service, the military, and public life The dramatic failures of Julian’s attempt to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem to mock Christ’s words: “not one stone will be left upon a stone” Miraculous signs: heavenly fire, earthquakes, crosses appearing on garments, and the cross shining in the sky How Julian’s rage, black magic, and occult sacrifices reveal his true character His fitting death in Persia and his final (reported) cry: “Thou hast conquered, O Galilean!” In the final part of the sermon, we consider how Julian is a type of the Antichrist and how his era is a type of the Great Apostasy. From the Temple Institute in Jerusalem to modern interreligious projects like a “United Religions” concept, we examine patterns that echo what the Fathers of the Church warned us about. Finally, the talk turns practical: instead of panic or curiosity about timelines, we’re called to holiness—to live in a state of grace, fulfill our duties of state, pray the rosary, wear the brown scapular, frequent confession, and make fervent Holy Communions. 00:00 – Introduction & recap of Julian the Apostate 00:40 – The Arian crisis, corrupt clergy & collapsing morals in the Empire 01:30 – Julian’s fake “tolerance,” religious liberty & selective law enforcement 02:32 – Culture war: dechristianizing schools, civil service, military & public life 03:20 – Julian’s plan to unite pagan cults into a counterfeit “church” 04:15 – The oracle at Daphne: St. Babylas’ relics silence the demon 05:20 – The Christian procession with the relics & Psalm 96 against idols 06:45 – Julian’s fury & the torture of St. Theodore for singing psalms 08:10 – Angelic consolation and the miraculous survival of St. Theodore 09:00 – Fire from heaven destroys Apollo’s temple at Daphne 09:40 – Julian retaliates: attacking Catholic shrines and chapels 10:20 – Julian’s direct attack on Christ: plan to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem 11:10 – Jews and pagans unite to rebuild the Temple to refute Christ’s prophecy 12:20 – Storms, whirlwind & fire from heaven destroy tools and materials 13:10 – Crosses miraculously appear on workers’ bodies and garments 14:00 – Earthquakes, collapsing trenches & deadly signs stopping construction 14:55 – Balls of fire from the ground halt every attempt to continue building 15:40 – Cross shining in the sky & mass fear, conversions and baptisms 16:35 – Many acknowledge Christ; others harden their hearts like Julian 17:10 – Julian’s occult cruelty: human sacrifice and horrific rituals exposed 18:10 – Julian’s Persian campaign, siege near modern-day Baghdad & failure 18:55 – Julian’s fatal wound in the liver & the symbolism of his divination 19:40 – Tradition of St. Mercurius striking down Julian at St. Basil’s prayer 20:25 – Julian’s reported last words: “Thou hast conquered, O Galilean” 21:10 – Julian’s lifelong grudge match against Christ & the Holy Sacrifice 21:55 – Typology: Julian as a type of the Antichrist & his era as a type of the Great Apostasy 22:40 – Expected signs: pagan revival, false unity of religions, rebuilt Temple 23:20 – Temple Institute, Sanhedrin restoration & interreligious “United Religions” projects 24:10 – Are we living in the Great Apostasy or its dress rehearsal? 24:35 – God is in charge: don’t panic, become saints 24:55 – Practical counsel: state of grace, rosary, 3 Hail Marys, scapular, confession 25:20 – Final exhortation: “Do your duty, put God first, become holy” For more please visit http://www.veritascaritas.com/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 #JulianTheApostate #CatholicSermon #TraditionalCatholic #GreatApostasy #Antichrist #EndTimes #Prophecy #RomanEmpire #TempleInJerusalem #TempleInstitute #CatholicHistory #EarlyChurchFathers #StBasil #StGregoryNaz
