Cardinal Who Warned of 'Antichrist' Rises in Betting Odds (Poll-Who is 'Antichrist' he describes??)

CARDINAL WHO WARNED OF 'ANTICHRIST' RISES IN BETTING ODDS

Though Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi is the odds-on favorite to be the next pope, global betting parlors are reporting an influx of bets on Cardinal Giacomo Biffi.

"From what I can see here, there's been a lot of wagers on Biffi," Mani Sanders of Pinnacle Sports, an online gambling service based on the resort island in the Netherlands Antilles, told the Providence Journal.

Cardinal Biffi, emeritus bishop of the archdiocese of Bologna, was recently listed as a 125-to-1 long shot to succeed John Paul II.

But does Pinnacle know something we don't?

The paper reports that as an influx of "bets were placed on Biffi in the past several days, the odds on the 76-year-old Italian had dropped to 50 to 1 by Wednesday."

If Biffi does win, it will be a sign that the Church leaders are trending more conservative.

Biffi is strongly anti-Masonic. He was quoted as saying Catholic churches should ban Mozart's music, as the composer was a Mason. The Church and the Masonic movement have long had an antagonistic relationship.

In recent years Biffi stirred controversy by saying Italy should "protect its national identity" and stop the avalanche of Muslim immigrants.

In 2000, Biffi predicted that "Europe will either become Christian again or it will become Muslim." He added ominously., "The vast majority of Muslims are coming here determined to remain outside our humanity."

That same year Biffi also said that he believed the Antichrist was alive and would soon rise to prominence.

Biffi told a conference meeting in Bologna that the Antichrist was a prominent philanthropist who advocated causes like human rights, the environment and ecumenicism.

Biffi said that this man – who he never identified – had a "fascinating personality" and espoused causes like vegetarianism, pacifism, environmentalism and animal rights.

Biffi added that this Antichrist would be a Bible expert who would discard its truths to prosletyze for "vague and fashionable spiritual values."

That year has been mentioned by many. I just heard it the other day, in fact. Well, no matter when, we ALL need to be ready to meet our Maker and to go through some of the tribulation. I don't believe we Christians will escape it all.

Thanks for the reminder! Honestly, I have a hunch that the AC will be Palestinian, either a Muslim or non-Muslim but, maybe he will have been educated in Europe (Italy) or whatever, but I just think that with all of the growth of Islam that it might have to be someone influential with those people; otherwise, where will this peace come from. Just a thought. I go back and forth on some of this stuff. One does wonder.

ACTUALLY, Marvin Rosenthal wrote a book (The PreWrath Rapture of the Church?) in which he says that Hitler IS the anti-Christ, risen from the dead. He spoke in our church for a weekend and mentioned that. An interesting concept, if true.

From what I've read, he would be part Jewish (one parent is Jewish) but he would have to be one that Muslims would revere and believe in, so his Jewishness would certainly have to be hidden. I do believe he's from the Middle East.

I read about him many years ago. He's been around and yes, he IS a nutcase. Oh, but he's the Messiah (NOT!).

I've been thinking about it, and I think I know who he is talking about. Mind you, I'm not saying that he's correct in his guess, but I do think I know who he's referring to, this person certainly fits the description.


I think he was referring to Sting.

Any thoughts?

I agree with you regarding the Roadmap to Peace. Bush may be being used by God to bring that prophecy about. I'm not happy about that but it could be!

Hitler may have been an Anti-Christ.Satan like man does not know the time or the hour of Christ return.Therefore he must raise an Anti-Christ in every generation.

Blessed, is this Biblical? In discussions with eyespysomething on this topic, I've theorized that this is true just from anecdotal evidence through history. Do you have sources I could go to for this information?

The problem is people are looking for "the" antichrist, but the Bible references state "an" antichrist.

It is pretty obvious that many liberals are "against Christ" or "anti-Christ". It is not one person, but the changing sentiment of an entire population.

OK maybe I'm missing something but why does everyone keep referring to the Mayan calendar? I've seen references to it on other websites also and I'm just wondering why so many people are putting such stock in it? What else has the Mayan's done for prophecy? Just a question.

Also, I dont think the AntiChrist is anyone that we see on the seen now. Not to sound like a Star Wars hokey, but I think he is back there pulling the strings (a phantom menace of sorts) and will come to the scene by some sort of catastrophe that will throw the economies of the industrial nations into a tailspin. I think thats the only way people from the US would ever fall into any trap like that.

Back on post #81, EstherRuth listed the signs of the anti-Christ, and one of them was changing the calendar. That's the only thing I know about it.
