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.
