The Abomination of Desolation - St. Marys Coptic Orthodox Church

IS ANTICHRIST ALREADY IN THE WORLD?

Rome and usurp the papacy. They claim that when the elect cry to God
for help, God will respond by sending into the world a righteous king
(invariably called “The Great Monarch”), who will rid the world of the
tyrant and institute a reign of peace and prosperity in the world.
It is obvious that this is unbiblical, since St. Paul tells us that it is the
Lord that will “consume [him] with the spirit of his mouth, and shall
destroy [him] with the brightness of his coming.” (II Thes 2:8) Daniel
8:25 and Revelation 19:20-21 confirm this.
Why then did Satan propagate these false “prophecies”? Here is the
scenario that I imagine. Satan knows that Christians expect Antichrist
to come first, then Christ comes. So, he sends a false Antichrist, allows
him to do some mischief in the world, and after a while, lo and behold,
a knight in shining armour comes to rescue the world from the bad
Antichrist. And, guess who is the knight in shining armour? He is the
real Antichrist. It seems too complicated a scenario, but one really
worthy of the Father of lies.
Regardless of whether this theory or that will come to pass, one
thing is for sure, if Maitreya is not Antichrist, then Antichrist is around
the corner. The magnitude of this Maitreya thing is frightening. I
refrained from reproducing the pictures in order that I may avoid
starting a real panic among our readers.
A final warning to our dear readers, do not try to go to the internet
to find out more! It may be dangerous. And, if it does happen that this
Maitreya should make a “world wide” T.V. appearance, do not watch.
Just go to your room and pray. Remember the magnet analogy. Curb
your curiosity and “remember Lot’s wife.”
“Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors
about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the
indignation be overpast.” (Isa 26:20)
