ANTITHEOTOKOS<br />
87<br />
How true! For through that cult led by Antitheotokos, many bishops,<br />
priests and laity have been led astray. Of course this is not what<br />
Antitheotokos means, what is meant here are those who are not yet<br />
members <strong>of</strong> this deadly cult.<br />
This <strong>Church</strong>, which according to Antitheotokos is corrupt, must<br />
now die, and a “new church” must be born!<br />
Today I invite you to descend into the sepulchre with Christ! ... Let<br />
it be the sepulchre <strong>of</strong> your slavery where the <strong>Church</strong> dies, the<br />
<strong>Church</strong> which is sick and divided, pervaded with the spirit <strong>of</strong> the<br />
world, darkened in its loyalty and holiness, assailed by the loss <strong>of</strong><br />
faith and apostasy; and where the new <strong>Church</strong> is born, holy, faithful,<br />
enlightened, evangelical, poor and chaste, reflecting solely the light<br />
<strong>of</strong> its Christ upon the world.<br />
This new church that must replace the current <strong>Church</strong> will be the<br />
church that will welcome Antichrist, thinking that he is Christ in His<br />
second coming. <strong>The</strong> theme <strong>of</strong> this new church is further developed:<br />
If you saw the splendour <strong>of</strong> holiness and the fullness <strong>of</strong> unity <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Church</strong>, after this period <strong>of</strong> great tribulation, you too, with me,<br />
would jump for joy! Because then all the nations will walk toward<br />
her.<br />
I am amazed by the deceiving words, convincing her followers that they<br />
are living the Great Tribulation. Antitheotokos “prophesies” <strong>of</strong> a new<br />
united church for all nations. Any student <strong>of</strong> the Scripture will realize<br />
that this universal, united church will worship Antichrist, who will<br />
“gather unto himself all the nations.”<br />
THE SECOND PENTECOST:<br />
A new church needs a new Pentecost! So Antitheotokos promises<br />
her followers to send upon them her own “unholy spirit”:<br />
<strong>The</strong> glorious reign <strong>of</strong> Christ will correspond to a general flowering<br />
<strong>of</strong> holiness and purity, <strong>of</strong> love and justice, <strong>of</strong> joy and peace. For the<br />
hearts <strong>of</strong> men will be transformed by the powerful force <strong>of</strong> the “holy<br />
spirit,” who will pour himself out upon them through the miracle <strong>of</strong><br />
the second Pentecost.
