The people of that time will be unrecognizable. When the time of the appearance of Antichrist will be near, people's reason will be darkened because of carnal sins; criminality and impiety will increase more and more. The world will become unrecognizable; people's appearance will change, and it will be impossible to distinguish men from women because of the shamelessness in fashions and hairstyles. These people will become coarse, wild, and cruel, like animals because of the temptations of Antichrist. There will be no respect for parents and elders, love will disappear.
Then Christian tradition and manners will change. Modesty and chastity will disappear; instead, fornication and dissipation will reign among the people. Deceit and avarice will reach unbelievable levels....Fornication, adultery, homosexuality, crafty deeds, theft, and murder will dominate society....The Church of God will be deprived of God-fearing pastors."
-St. Nilus of Athos
