During lectures & retreats, I’ve had a number of priests tell me that the anti-Christ was Nero.

The Catechism explains simply that there will be a “supreme religious deception” before the second coming of Christ and that the supreme form of this deception is that of the Antichrist, who will bring “a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh” (CCC 675).
Among us good Catholics, I think this person will be easily identified when he/she comes. The rest of the world certainly won’t believe us when/if we call this person the Antichrist.
Having said that, there are obviously many “little” antichrists.

I am in a unique position to answer this question. On may 28th of this year, I turned in a ten page research paper to the Church. It explains every descriptive detail found in the Bible, identifying the Beast. The Vatican is reveiwing it. Dr. Hahn, Jimmy Akin and Tim Staples have copies. As the paper grew, I added quotes of support from learned Catholics, and Priests. Please call Daryl at 661.703.4444 to arrange for a copy. IHS

What is your basis for thinking so? And why not the earlier film The Last Temptation of Christ instead?

I think I agree with the person above who asked whether this ‘anti-Christ’ (or spirit thereof - for our times) might come from the “media”. I thought since we are divided politically, seemingly irreconcilably, that this spirit of anti-Christ wouldn’t come from that direction; that it would have to go deeper than that, so to speak. That is to say, in short, that it would not come from words but from images , or ‘seeing’. Actually, from images combined with sound, etc. (i.e. movies specifically).And could you please explain your position?Code:
But the main reason I have for saying this is the movie Muholland Drive, and, to a lesser extent but in union with that movie, the film Dogville . Both of these films have to be seen and a comparison must be made between the two philosophies of art presented (i.e. between MD and Dogville on the one hand, and The Passion on the other).
There are two very different philosophies of life here, it seems to me.

I finally watched most of Scorsese’s film earlier this year. I thought that there were many beautiful moments. And I appreciate that it was done in a more poetic, mystical way, perhaps trying harder to view Christ’s sufferings from his (God’s) point of view.What is your basis for thinking so? And why not the earlier film The Last Temptation of Christ instead?

But I would have to watch it again.

When we study the Book of Revelation, we need to bear in mind that it uses apocalyptic symbolism and is both prophetical and historical. For example, the number of the Beast, 666, most probably refers to the Emperor Nero, the first, significant, Roman persecutor of Christians. In the last 1,900-plus years, there have been many other anti-Christs, such as Mohammed, the Albigensians, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Napoleon, Karl Marx, Darwin, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Saddam, and on and on. However, there is also The Anti-Christ, who will appear in conjunction with the Second Coming and the Last Days.

The World Wide Web The web is supported by processing speeds that double about every eighteen months. Based on history, this is a linear progression, and by all educated accounts, its speed is expected to continue to grow at that same rate. Every ten years, its speed and resulting power increase by about 120 times. In about 45 years it will reach a point of ability to do what is being called Divine calculations. It was made available on the internet in the summer of 1991. It was proposed in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee as a global hypertext project to allow people to combine their knowledge. The mark of a man. A great research tool. Christians like it, but do not worship it. It can be turned off at several points, but it is now basically impossible to turn it all off…ever, ever. The World Wide Web’s compounding growth has not and cannot be matched by any religion. It is the latest addiction and certainly takes many people out of and away from the church. A jealous God does not like losing even one soul. This Beast is here, NOW. People in the know suggest it will attain a “machine like consciousness” within a matter of years. This is noted to make the reader aware of the awesome growing power of this man-made, from the earth, World Wide Web. The technical definition of the World Wide Web is: all the resources and users on the internet that are using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (http). The broader definition is: the universe of network-accessable information, an embodiment of human knowledge. Google has over six billion pages of information. They expect to grow and eventually will be able to accomadate every page ever written, all available to 2024 Weblings. On almost every Web Page that “comes up” to be seen on a monitor, the only consistent “mark” of this beast is www. To men in Jesus’ time, this enclosed “sea” of light, fire and visions were quite remarkable. At the top of every page, the light in the monitor is projecting an image of every page viewed onto and through the screen in front of you, into your eyes and onto your face. Top of the page, is the location of the Beast’s mark, right into your forehead. Look at anyone’s face from the side while they are online. You will see the image on their face, it is even clearer to see in a dark room or when they have the reflection off of eyeglasses. Put your thumb up to any light bulb and see the light penetrating into your skin, into. Obvious mark. Look at any computer, laptop or desktop, with the World Wide Web on…now picture yourself almost 2000 years ago trying to describe it. Daniel and John had never seen plastic, glass, a keyboard, or light projected electronically (all man-made from the earth). Based on John’s understanding, he best describes the feet of a bear for the keypad; leopard spots for the keys and a sea for the artifical light (fire) and all while he (John) viewed this standing on the seashore’s sand. The electronically generated, second hand, dead pan voice from computer speakers and rectangularly enclosed monitor screen would certainly seem arrogant and look like the mouth of a roaring lion to John. He saw a mouse set up for the right hand. Palm Pilots, cell phones, and credit cards are now intricately tied into Web access and are used with the right hand. The development of a new protocol system was announced in 2002. Every computer, mobile phone, digital camera or other device must be assigned a unique identification number or web address. Isaac Asimov wrote a short story, “The Last Question”, about a supercomputer named “Multivac” which ends with the computer saying, “Let there be light”. This is about one sixth of the document that is at the Vatican. For a full copy, including Bible references and quotes of confirmation from learned people, call Daryl 661.703.4444 IHS

I think George Soros is a prime candidate. Read this from worldnetdaily.com:
"Rachel Ehrenfeld, author of the important new book Funding Evil, has watched Soros and his operations for years. “Soros uses his philanthropy to change – or, more accurately, deconstruct – the moral values and attitudes of the Western world, and particularly of the American people,” she said. In the 1990s, he gave millions to legalize illegal drugs. He provided $15 million in start-up money – the same amount he’s pledged so far to defeat Bush – for Project Death in America, a grant-making organization to promote euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide.
In a 1995 interview with the New Yorker, Soros said he was disappointed that his terminally ill father wouldn’t die quickly enough. His father “unfortunately wanted to live,” Soros said. “I was kind of disappointed in him. … I wrote him off.”
Ehrenfeld’s research shows Soros’ multimillion-dollar campaigns to legalize drugs in the United States follows his logic, in Soros’ own words, that “the war on drugs is doing more harm to our society than drug abuse itself,” and that since “substance abuse is endemic in most societies … the war on drugs cannot be won.”
That also seems to be the tycoon’s approach to fighting terrorism. “How can we escape from the trap that the terrorists have set us?” he asked his University of Pennsylvania audience in early 2002. “Only by recognizing that the war on terrorism cannot be won by waging war.” Full stop. His solution: “Correct the grievances on which terrorism feeds.” Which is just what fellow travelers said about communism before Ronald Reagan led the United States to victory in the Cold War, say Soros critics.
This effort by Soros and other big-rich lefties takes place in the context of a pull-out-all-stops attempt by top Democrats in Congress to use any means necessary to defeat the president in 2004, according to GOP professionals. A multiplier for Soros and his allies, frustrated administration officials say, is the expert way in which congressional Democrats have been waging powerful political-warfare operations by exploiting and abusing the national-security oversight process.
In the Halperin style, Soros watchers say, the once collegial and bipartisan Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has been turned into a dysfunctional and bitterly partisan battleground. Indeed, that $15 million pledge by Soros came just as it was revealed by commentator Sean Hannity that Sen. Jay Rockefeller IV, D-W.Va., vice chairman of the committee, had directed staff to prepare options for abusing the Intelligence Committee’s investigative powers to discredit the Bush administration and undermine the war in Iraq. Hannity then produced the memo".

The anti christ is each individual who belongs to the secular world and lives by its morals. You cant serve two masters,youll love one and hate the other. Jesus said my kingdom is not of this world. This world is controlled by satan.
