There is a commentary on the Mount of Olives Discourse recorded in Matthew 24 and Luke 21 called the Apocalypse of Peter. It gives a valuable insight into the views of the early Church about prophecy and the antichrist.

    Quote, "And when they shall see the wickedness of their deeds (even the false Christ's), they shall turn away after them and deny him to whom our fathers gave praise, the first Christ whom they crucified and thereby sinned exceedingly. But this deceiver is not the Christ. And when they reject him, he will kill with the sword and there shall be many martyrs. Then shall the boughs of the fig tree, the house of Israel, sprout and there shall be many martyrs by his hand: they shall be killed and become martyrs."
