86 ANTITHEOTOKOS<br />
This means, according to Antitheotokos, the Great Tribulation already<br />
came and went (having ended in 1998 by the latest!) So, now Christ’s<br />
presumed Second Coming could happen any time. A couple <strong>of</strong> years<br />
ago, the same false prophecy was propagated:<br />
But now, you must enter into, and live out, the final time <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Great Tribulation.<br />
In confidence, the impression is given that the Great Tribulation is<br />
already happening and that it is coming to a close, making the Second<br />
Coming <strong>of</strong> Jesus plausible.<br />
Another problem, is that Christians know from reading II<br />
<strong>The</strong>ssalonians that the Apostasy and Antichrist must come before the<br />
Second Coming <strong>of</strong> Christ, but there is no problem there either. If<br />
Antitheotokos can convince her followers that the Apostasy is already<br />
in the <strong>Church</strong> and that Antichrist is already sitting in the <strong>Church</strong>, then<br />
whoever comes now must be Christ in His Second Coming!<br />
<strong>The</strong> hour <strong>of</strong> its great trial has above all come for the <strong>Church</strong>,<br />
because it will be shaken by lack <strong>of</strong> faith, obscured by apostasy,<br />
wounded by betrayal, abandoned by its children, divided by schisms,<br />
possessed and dominated by Free masonry, turned into fertile soil<br />
from which will spring up the wicked tree <strong>of</strong> the man <strong>of</strong> iniquity, the<br />
Antichrist, who will bring his kingdom to its interior.<br />
In the <strong>Church</strong>, the great apostasy, which will spread throughout the<br />
whole world, will be brought to its completion; ... <strong>The</strong>re will enter<br />
into the <strong>Church</strong> the man <strong>of</strong> iniquity who opposes himself to Christ,<br />
and who will bring into her interior the <strong>Abomination</strong> <strong>of</strong> desolation.<br />
Now after prophesying about these things, Antitheotokos, at a later<br />
date, tells her followers that these things have already been fulfilled:<br />
Satan has succeeded in entering into the <strong>Church</strong>, the new Israel <strong>of</strong><br />
God. He has entered there with the smoke <strong>of</strong> error and sin, <strong>of</strong> loss<br />
<strong>of</strong> faith and apostasy, <strong>of</strong> compromise with the world and the search<br />
for pleasure. During these years, he has succeeded in leading astray<br />
bishops and priests, religious and faithful.
