88 ANTITHEOTOKOS<br />
<strong>The</strong> miraculous event <strong>of</strong> the second Pentecost must now be<br />
accomplished, implored and expected by you. Again, there will be<br />
descending upon the <strong>Church</strong> and upon all humanity miraculous<br />
tongues <strong>of</strong> fire.<br />
<strong>Orthodox</strong> commentators feel that the false prophet will be a cult leader<br />
that will bring fire down from heaven upon his followers in imitation <strong>of</strong><br />
the Pentecost.<br />
THE NEW TIMES:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Book <strong>of</strong> Daniel tells us that Antichrist will change the times,<br />
“And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear<br />
out the saints <strong>of</strong> the most High, and think to change times and laws: and<br />
they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing<br />
<strong>of</strong> time.” (Dan 7:25) <strong>The</strong> word “times” in apocalyptic language means<br />
years, for example time and times and the dividing <strong>of</strong> times means three<br />
and a half years. So, to change the times means to change the years or<br />
the calendar. Although Antichrist will first pretend to be Christ, yet<br />
after he deceives the great majority, he will start blaspheming the Holy<br />
Trinity, claiming that only he is God. He will try to wipe out anything<br />
that will remind the people with Christ, including the current calendar<br />
which tags the years as A.D. (Anno Domini, the year <strong>of</strong> the Lord.)<br />
Satan has started to prepare humanity for this. For, even now,<br />
politically correct writers, journalists and politicians have stopped using<br />
A.D., exchanging it for C.E. (Common Era) Antitheotokos is preparing<br />
her followers for the “new times” that Antichrist will announce:<br />
Prepare yourselves to live the Pasch <strong>of</strong> the new times. It is the Pasch<br />
prepared for you. It is the Pasch that awaits you at the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
gloomy period <strong>of</strong> purification and the great tribulation in which you<br />
are now living.<br />
Soon, my sons, a new date will be celebrated.<br />
Antitheotokos even gives a hint <strong>of</strong> the new calendar that will be<br />
enforced when Antichrist establishes his kingdom, “New Era.” <strong>The</strong><br />
term currently in use now, “Common Era” is an intermediate name that<br />
I feel very strongly will be changed to “New Era” <strong>The</strong> fact that<br />
computers recognize only two digits for the year will make this change
