The above mentioned quote summarizes one of main themes in Hearne’s political thriller, “Hulagu’s Web”. The book suggests that much of horror, destruction and mayhem that happen in contemporary world are explained by endeavors of Sorat, Lucifer’s terrifying accomplice. It is said that Sorat incarnates every 666 years. 1998 would therefore be year of his last manifestation. Coincidently, it is same year that Usama Bin Ladin and his associates publicly declared their Jihad against West with blatant orders such as “We – with Allah's help – call on every Muslim who believes in Allah and wishes to be rewarded to comply with Allah's order to kill Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it.”

In his “Book of Revelation and Work of Priest”, Rudolf Steiner describes Abaddon’s attack on humanity. Abaddon (translated ‘destroyer’) is a demonic being born out of abyss to lead an army of locusts with human-like faces. Rudolf Steiner explains occult significance of this picture by suggesting that Abaddon’s army consists of human beings who have been completely deprived of their ego. Sorat can rule on Earth by populating empty shells of such people with spirits that serve him. This infernal army would subject mankind to trials compared to which all horrors of twentieth century would pale. Coincidently again, Abaddon is referred to in Revelation 9-11, same date that is now synonymous with destruction of twin towers and attack on pentagon.

Sorat is described as strongest power against good. To accomplish his desire of destroying earth, Sorat would manifest his evil in social evolution. The wars and mass murders of our time are evidence of his corruption.

These all died in faith, not having received promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on earth. Hebrews 11:13

I was a stranger, and ye took me not in.

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 2 Cor. 5:1-3

I was naked, and ye clothed me not.

Hope deferred maketh heart sick ... Proverbs 13:12 Is any sick among you? let him call for elders of church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in name of Lord. James 5:14

I was sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
