"Wingate also discussed the plans of the Antichrist, whom he named as Maitreya"

Sorry, but you're wrong. His name was NERO.

Roman Empire.

But then again..the Catholics have been wrong on other fronts, including predictions of His second coming 1000 A.D., etc.

If Nero was and is the Antichrist. Then the book of book of Revelations is not prophetic in nature but historic, since it was written in A.D. 96. If it is a historical book then Christ has already returned and you then are a Preterits? Am I correct in my line of thought?

I think it would be Dominitus.

And, he's back

The resemblance is eerie, and put Lilith in a blue dress and you've got a pretty good imitation of Monica.

OK, I'm not usually the tin foil hat type (despite the picture I googled up, above), but get out your Reynolds Wrap.

I'm convinced that the debacle in the Kerry Campaign is all part of the Clinton plan.  We've often had folks floating the idea, here and elsewhere, that the Clintonoids want to sabotage the Kerry campaign to pave the way for Hillary in 2008.  I think that's clearly possible, but I think that's only part of the plan.  The other part is to maneuver Bill into a position to rescue the world, through the United Nations, as the replacement for Kofi Annan.  Bill as the (no term limit) head of the world government, Hillary as the head of the US government, with the power of Executive Orders to cede sovereignty "in the name of peace and the children" to her hubby.

I give this (admittedly out there) scenario a 40% possibility of actually being true. That's how paranoid those two, and the events going on in the world right now, make me.

Hey, hey, hey...
1. Don't lump this guy in with Catholicism in general. It's not Catholicism's fault that schizophrenia can strike even men of God.
2. Really, if you were to randomly choose 1000 churchgoing Christians in America who could correctly identify the "Beast" of Revelations as being Nero, 990 of them would be Catholic. But, of course, they would also not call the beast "THE anti-Christ," because they would also know that biblical references to the anti-Christ are uniformly plural.
