The Abomination of Desolation - St. Marys Coptic Orthodox Church

IS ANTICHRIST ALREADY IN THE WORLD?
In the last issue of PAROUSIA, of November 2002, we published the
final chapter of our series, THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION.
It never occurred to me that we will re-visit that subject so soon!
Things, however, worked differently than we anticipated, as I will
explain.
Sometime during the month of December, I was researching
something on the Net when this screen attracted my attention in one of
the web-sites:
Maitreya is the Biblical Antichrist... 666!*
He exists on Earth right now, and this is NO JOKE.
Very soon, he will make his presence known,
and by then it will be too late!
Mankind is in real danger!
I remembered that we wrote something about this Maitreya in one of
our previous chapters on THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION.
I looked into my files and indeed, in the December 1998 edition of
PAROUSIA, I found the following passage:
In the article “The Reign of Antichrist” referred to above and which
was published in Parousia six years ago, it was mentioned that
Antichrist will be introduced as “universal teacher.” A few days ago,
while on the plane back from St. John’s, NF, I read this ad in the Globe
and Mail (December 12, 1998):
AS THE BUDDHA of Compassion, Messiah,
Imam Mahdi and Christ, Maitreya the World
Teacher is now here. All humanity will see him
soon. How will we recognize him? What is he
saying? Free info: 1-888-278-TARA.
At the time I made no further comment on this small ad in the
classified section of Canada’s largest newspaper. I merely pointed to the
similarity between the word “World Teacher” in the ad and a previous
article published in PAROUSIA, December 1992, in which Antichrist
was presented as “universal teacher”.
