182 IS ANTICHRIST ALREADY IN THE WORLD?<br />
MAITREYA’S HAND:<br />
<strong>The</strong> web site shows a picture <strong>of</strong> a mirror with a big life-like hand<br />
imprinted on it. It is scary! Here is the caption:<br />
This is the hand <strong>of</strong> Maitreya, portrayed on a mirror in a bathroom in<br />
Barcelona. <strong>The</strong> lady-owner went into the guest bathroom and saw a<br />
handprint on the mirror and cleaned it <strong>of</strong>f. She thought no more about<br />
it. A few days later when she went into her own bathroom she saw the<br />
same handprint on the mirror. Like the Turin Shroud, it is a fantastic<br />
hand. It is ‘real’, three-dimensional in appearance, similar to the print<br />
on the Turin Shroud <strong>of</strong> the body <strong>of</strong> Jesus after the Crucifixion.<br />
HEALING WELLS:<br />
Since his appearance in Nairobi, Maitreya has re-enacted this event by<br />
suddenly showing up in the midst <strong>of</strong> large audiences, usually groups <strong>of</strong><br />

people in attendance as their awaited Teacher. Maitreya also creates<br />
healing springs <strong>of</strong> water in the areas near these appearances. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

visitors.<br />
<strong>The</strong> promoters have a log for these appearances. <strong>The</strong>y last on the<br />
average 17 minutes and they involve religious congregations <strong>of</strong> 100-200<br />
people: Christians, Moslems, Hindus, and Buddhists. In countries<br />
where more than one religion exists, he appears to different religious<br />
congregations. For in India, there are separate appearances to<br />
Moslems, Hindus and Christians. Christian denominations are not<br />
identified except <strong>Orthodox</strong> denominations which are recorded as<br />
Russian <strong>Orthodox</strong>, Greek <strong>Orthodox</strong>, etc. One appearance in Egypt is<br />
claimed on September 30, 2001 in Luxor to 200 Moslems. <strong>The</strong>re were<br />
no appearances to Copts, but there was one appearance in Asmara,<br />
Eritrea to 100 <strong>Orthodox</strong> Christians. <strong>The</strong> most puzzling appearance,<br />
however, is the following:
