Matthew 24:6 speaks of " wars and reports of wars " , as a sign of the End Times , and it is within this context that Cyril read Julian 's war with the Persians . Matthew 24:7 speaks of " earthquakes from place to place " , and Jerusalem experienced an earthquake in 363 at a time when Julian was attempting to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem . Embroiled in a rivalry with Acacius of Caesarea over the relative primacy of their respective sees , Cyril saw even ecclesial discord a sign of the Lord 's coming . Catechesis 15 would appear to cast Julian as the antichrist , although Irshai views this as a later interpolation
