Pending310 AD — Nicomedia
A king shall arise from Syria, born of an evil spirit. He shall overturn and possess the whole earth. He shall establish himself in the holy city and shall persecute the righteous people of God. He shall command fire to come down from heaven and shall cause the sun to stand still. The whole world shall worship him. His time shall endure for three years and six months, after which God shall send a great king to deliver the just.
