Who in the Bible is "The Antichrist"?

The antichrist is mentioned in the Bible by the apostle John. He is named as the beast in other parts of the Bible. An exact person is not identified. The antichrist is a false prophet claiming all the virtues of Jesus but having an evil hidden agenda. The Bible does not name the antichrist but provides signs of his coming.

The second coming of Jesus will occur when the antichrist begins to get too powerful. He will come and rid the world of evil leading to a thousand years of peace on earth. Mabus is interpreted by experts as the name given by Nostradamus to the third antichrist after Napoleon and Hitler. Many people twist and turn the name to identify Suddam Hussein as the anti Christ. Even the American Presidency is named as a possible source of Mabus –Obamabush.

The truth of the matter is that there are many people crying wolf and pointing to signs of the anti Christ being engineered by the Illuminati. Who are the Illuminati? The Illuminati are members of a secret society bent upon creating hell on earth to welcome the antichrist. The Illuminati have been behind major world events like the French Revolution. They are supposed to be the secret King makers of the world.

The sudden interest in the Illuminati has been fanned by the Dan Brown book, Angels and Demons and by the Lara Croft, Tomb Raider video game and movie. The Illuminati are a powerful group of people governed by 13 bloodlines. They include famous families and these are- Rockefeller, Kennedy, Rothschild, Du Pont, Reynolds, Collins, Russell, Freeman, Van Duyn, Onassis, Bundy, Astor and Li. These people control the strings of the world. It is obvious one cannot join the Illuminati; one has to be born into it.

The antichrist will arrive with fanfare and the world will first see signs of the antichrist in its supremacy over vast territories of the world. ." (2 Corinthians 11:13-15) "As his crowning miracle, Satan will claim to be Jesus" (Matthew 24:23, 24). Revelation Bible names the signs as purple and red; a great city which rules other people; a sea port and built on seven hills. All these point to a Pope antichrist.

Various people writing on netcom on the Internet are making a prophecy 2012. History is being read and reread and a royal bloodline through Lady Diana leads to Prince William now Duke of Cambridge. He is named as the modern King Arthur. According to various sites on the Internet, the Illuminati news is that because he is the 1000^th member of the Order of the Garter it is certain that he is the predicted antichrist.

Jumping Boobs

Boobs it seems are developing a mind of their own. They are jumping out of dresses at the least provocation.

Now we have Jennifer Lopez causing a stir by unwittingly exposing a breast at Mallorca, Spain.

Not being a woman I really would not know if I would be unaware of my dishabille, that is, if one of my breasts or boobs, if you wish, popped out while I was having a grand time at a party. Unfortunately for celebrity Tara Reid her shoulder strap slipped during a photo shoot and for long agonizing seconds she stood unaware exposing her left breast to the paparazzi. One of the ladies present jumped up and covered her realizing that Tara had no idea about her partial nakedness. The press had a great time and printed the videos and photographs despite her blushed appeals not to.

That is certainly not the first or only time a boob has developed a desire to be free of all encumbrances. Remember Janet Jackson. When I look at that picture of her with the exposed culprit and Justin looking a bit shocked, I get goose bumps and ask why did Justin Timberlake pull at her dress? Wasn’t that pre-planned? As it turns out, it was, but he pulled too hard taking away a piece of her red lacey bra. Five hundred thousand people complained. Even the First Lady felt it was inappropriate. CBS was fined five hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Americans! Come on. They roam around almost naked in summer and are shocked by a glimpse of breast. You gotta be kidding!

Sometimes people do suggest that dress malfunction is stage managed to create a media brouhaha.

Last year it was Katherine Heigl (TV actress) whose dress developed a mind of its own and threatened to expose again the left breast till Billy Bush held the strap of her red dress while she accepted her award.

Well if we try to think of something like that happening to a man in public the only recent such, ahem, development we have seen maybe congressman Weiner when he chose to exhibit the outline of his hardware rather blatantly on twitter.

Many women in certain tribes of India do not care too much for all this nonsense about hiding their breasts and thus do not wear any upper garments. It is all in the mind. It is said that only higher caste Hindu women covered their breasts to show their superiority others just roamed about top less. No one stared at the common breasts; it was the hiding that made the upper caste breasts attractive. Let us have more of this dress malfunction and take it in our stride so ‘that, surfeiting the appetite may sicken, and so die’ as per Shakespeare.

Did the Guru pre-empt Sulabh

I have read this in an essay titled Mahipatis -1774  a translation of a Marathi poem Bhaktaliamrit which was published in 1773. I cannot find any verification anywhere else of what this poem says about Guru Nanak.

In essence it says that Guru Nanak had a great fortune and he felt that this wealth was a hindrance in his search for God. So in order to spend this money he started building Temples but the Muslim rulers of the time did not like it and had the temples pulled down. Then the Guru thought that mosques are also the house of God so he started building mosques but then all his Hindu friends and followers objected to his new venture. So the Guru thought let me do something which will be pleasing both to the Hindus and the Muslims. So the Guru desisted from making temples and mosques and he started building privies or toilets. People laughed at him but eventually appreciated the numerous privies when they were used both by the Hindus and the Muslims. – This essay can be found in a Punjab University Publication Bureau book titled Guru Nanak in The Eyes of Non-Sikhs compiled and edited by Sarjit Singh Bal. The first edition is dated November 1969.

The road to Religion

For years I was lost inside the television set, watching Hollywood movies and crime serials and even Hindi soaps with my wife till one evening I walked out of a very sobby episode of a Saas Bahu and walked back into my library.

            I landed myself in The Source by James Michener. It is a great book(in size too) if you want to find out why the Jews left for Egypt why they came back to the Promised Land and why they left it again till they came back to seize it from the world.

            I wandered through The Holy Land with William Dalrymple.

            I reopened my Bible.

            I got very fascinated by Job 

            And I found it so intriguing that Jews, Christians and Muslims share so many angels and prophets. Job/Ayyub; Moses/Moosa; Abraham/Ibrahim. In fact Judaism and the Islamic tribes of Arabia and the middle east trace themselves back to Abraham. Of course Christianity also traces itself back to Adam and Noah and then Abraham to King David and from thence to Joseph and Jesus.

            I suppose it is age. There is nothing to prove that there is a thinking God but there is everything to prove that there is an unthinking God. Thus Brahma; Yahweh and Waheguru and of course Our Father who art in Heaven.

Then I am in the middle of My name is Red by Orham Pamuk.
