ANTITHEOTOKOS: FALSE PROPHETESS? 1<br />

As we said earlier, Satan has devised various ways for deceiving various<br />

kinds <strong>of</strong> people. Satan will have no problem with Jews, since they are<br />

fervently waiting for a “Messiah,” a worldly king, who will reign in their<br />

holy city Jerusalem, and will even be a universal ruler. With non-<br />

Christians, the miracles, prosperity and worldly things he will bestow on<br />

them will be enough to sway them behind Antichrist. Satan’s main<br />

problem in deceiving the world is bringing Christians to the folds <strong>of</strong><br />

Antichrist. A minority <strong>of</strong> Christians who believe in the heresy <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Millennial rule <strong>of</strong> Christ, will be easy prey for him, believing Antichrist<br />

to be Christ in His “Millennial” coming.<br />

But the great majority <strong>of</strong> Christians are either Catholic or<br />

<strong>Orthodox</strong>. Both churches condemn the Millennial rule <strong>of</strong> Christ as a<br />

heresy. So, how can Satan deceive those Christians who form 85% <strong>of</strong><br />

all Christians?<br />

Satan is a very crafty creature, and he knows that one <strong>of</strong> the things<br />

on which Catholics and <strong>Orthodox</strong> agree is their veneration <strong>of</strong> the holy<br />

Virgin. So, if Satan would be able to make one <strong>of</strong> his demons to<br />

impersonate the Virgin Mary, and, through this false virgin, assure<br />

those Christians that the Lord will indeed come to earth and reign<br />

among them for a thousand years, those Christians that will believe the<br />

false virgin will actually fall easily for Antichrist.<br />

<strong>The</strong> question arises, can Satan do this? II Corinthians 11:14 tells<br />

us that Satan can transform himself into an angel <strong>of</strong> light! And if Satan<br />

can and will bring in a man that will impersonate Christ, an Antichrist,<br />

what hinders him from bringing in some entity to impersonate the<br />

<strong>The</strong>otokos, an Antitheotokos?<br />

This is not a fantasy or an unproven theory, it is actually happening<br />

right now! In the following pages we will give you the details.<br />

It all started on May 8, 1972, when a simple minded Catholic priest<br />

became convinced that he is receiving “messages” from the Virgin<br />

Mary. <strong>The</strong>se messages urged him to start a movement (cult) inside the<br />

Catholic church, among the clergy and the laity. Ever since, the cult has<br />

been extending all over the world, so that by 1995, membership in the<br />
