Rudolf Steiner taught that the Christ would reappear in the twentieth
century in the etheric, or life, realm of the Earth. He also made to
other astonishing predictions in relation to that event --first, that
before humankind could comprehend such a reappearance, we "must have
passed through the encounter with the Beast, which will appear in 1933";
second, that around the end of the century Sorath --the Sun Demon
--would again arise to oppose individual vision of the etheric Christ.
Beginning with these statements, Tradowsky tries to illuminate the
problem of evil in relation to the Christ. He describes Sorath and his
activities, asserting that knowledge and insight regarding this elusive
and terrible being helps individuals to come to terms with him. He also
explains the role of the Apocalyptic Beast in relation to Ahriman and
his incarnation on Earth.
This book is intended for those with a close concern for Anthroposophy,
and the author's intention is to provide a background to the events of
our own time, thus helping us to understand our tasks as they relate to
the Christ, evil, and the new millennium.
