The Bible states that we will not know when the end of the world is coming ("like a thief in the night"). Christians who believe that part of the Bible should also know they can't make the end come and be the believers who are "saved". It is disheartening that these pseudo-Christians can't put their energies into "bringing the Kingdom of God" to the world in the form of justice, mercy, love, caring, honesty, stewardship of the earth, and other values which are in their control. They give Christians a bad name IMO. This is more distortion of the Bible from a certain group of Christians.

Jay Randal,

The problem is that the anti-Christ is a person with whom everybody in the world likes. That is why people will supposedly follow him. In Revelations they say that the person will die and come back to life, which leads to people thinking that he is the second coming of Christ and for the Jews the first coming.

Problem is that not everybody likes Bush.

I think to the people who believe this crap, everyone does like Bush….at least in their circles.
