This question does not include other members of the Abrahamic faiths because none of them believe in the return of Jesus Christ as the messiah of mankind. Perhaps Satanism qualifies but that is neither here nor there. 

In your opinion, will the Anti-Christ be someone obvious to spot like some bumbling progressive Marxist fool or will he be a very capable wolf in sheep's clothing? 

Evil is after all the ability to sell a lie as truth at its foundation. 

I find myself wonder if the antichrist isn't more a metaphor for the evil potential that resides in all of us; some one person that has it in spades, like Hitler gid.

How hard would it be to hide evil behind government legislation while presenting an angelic countenance to the public? Could the antichrist be a collective of all who have turned away from the Creator?

I'm still struggling with the fact that the 6,000 year Biblical history of the world doesn't come close to real history of the world history. The only way to reconcile the desparity in my mind is a periodic reset, with a dominant group tising out of the bottleneck to rewrite the hew narative showing themselves to be an elite class.

It's strange how ones' views can change over a lifetime.

DOH!  I mistakenly read the word "return" in the 1st sentence as "rectum". 

Re-read the first sentence with that in mind.

Indeed. 

Have you ever read The Adam and Eve story by Chan Thomas?


As per Grokkity:

Quote: 


The book "The Adam and Eve Story" by Chan Thomas was indeed classified. It was classified by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). 

By Whom: The CIA classified the book shortly after its initial publication in 1963.
Why: The exact reasons for the classification remain speculative as the CIA has not provided explicit reasons. However, several theories and discussions around this have emerged:
Some sources suggest that the book's content, which dealt with cataclysmic events involving pole shifts and the end of civilizations, could have been seen as potentially panic-inducing or sensitive information, especially during the Cold War era. This is inferred from the nature of the book's themes rather than any official statement from the CIA.


There's a theory that the classification might have been related to Thomas's association with various projects and his work in areas like anti-gravity technology and UFO research, which might have intersected with national security interests at the time.
Another perspective is that the book's narrative might have been considered too controversial or challenging to established scientific or religious views, potentially leading to public unrest or misinterpretation.


The book was only partially declassified in 2013, with some sections still redacted, adding to the mystery surrounding the reasons for its initial classification. The incomplete declassification has fueled further speculation about what might have been in the censored sections.


Remember, these are interpretations based on available information, as the CIA has not provided a definitive explanation for the classification.

Here's what I found as a direct link to the cia's declassified, pdf which is the full book that's available. 


Goes straight to CIA for automatic pdf download, if you don't mind.

I tested the link it's authentic and it works, for what it's worth. 

I do believe there's an internet archive version if you prefer that route.

Oh, heck yeah! People make a big deal out of the FBI classifying it and then redacting a portion, but the only redaction was thei notes they made on the subject matter, such as deeming the book to be pretty much fiction and released it for publication.
Thomas' book started me down quite the rabbit hole which led to James Churchward's books, starting with The Lost Continent of Mu and on to the works of Charles Hapgood.'s Earth Crust Displacement Theory.
The first book I ever read that freed my mind to think outside the box was Edgar Cayce's There Is a River' and 'The Sleeping Profit' back when I was in my 20's.

They all make a lot more sense than the program we've been given to follow. Fear can be a powerful motivator but what happens when the majority overcome their fears? I think the world may be edging closer to finding out.

Who says the anti-christ has not come and gone already?

The Satan's Little Season theory makes sense in a way.

The idea being, the 1000 year reign of Christ is already past, and now is Satan's time to try and deceive the world.

Good point! It looks like he's doing a pretty good job, eh?

You just danged us both to heck. 

Thanks.

We may be a small gathering but there's a wealth of knowledge here on MPP. And people willing to share.

Which 1000 years did you have in mind?

I would think that Christians converting heathens through the grace of steel, killing witches etc had nothing to do with Christ or a Christ-like approach.
