Hello,

I am a new member of this forum, and I was attracted to join because I too believe in the idea of an 'Islamic Antichrist'. I would like to begin discussion soon, but before I do I'd like to describe who I am as a Christian theologically. I am a devout and traditional Roman Catholic and I am open to any reasonable discussion of the issues from that perspective. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, and I wish all men to be saved and recognize His Reign. I think that folks might be suprised by where I stand on the 'End-Times' and what I believe about the coming son of perdition. I hope that I am welcome here on this forum, and I thank anyone in advance for their consideration. God Bless.

Oh and I also do not regard the present Occupant of St. Peter's the legit Bishop of Rome, nor any of the accepted 'Popes' since 1914....'He that restraineth' has indeed been removed out of Antichrist's way.

I think I can elaborate on some of my positions a little right now. I believe with st. Robert Bellarmine that 'Gog' is the Antichrist, and as Joel among others has shown, Gog and Magog are Islamic. Therefore I believe that there is an Islamic Antichrist-a future ruler and his empire that is a revival of the Islamic Caliphate.

History is nearing it's final phase before the return of Jesus Christ in Majesty and Glory, and this phase began with the covert overthrow of the legitamate Papacy by a crypto-islamic sect in 1914, to accompany the destruction of Europe begun by World War One a month before. This sect has It's roots in Turkey, and has as it's aim the destruction of Christianity from within and the revival of a unified Islam from without. It has had a number of names, one being 'The Order of the Palm'....

I also believe that the discovery of the New World by Columbus in 1492-exactly the year of the fall of Grenada and a generation after Constantinople's fall to the Turks-is Providential. The fall of the Holy Roman Empire after exactly 1000 years and the first US election in the same year(1800 AD) is also mysteriously linked and providential. America is the refuge from Islam, the place in the wilderness prepared for the Woman to hide. America has a high destiny given it by God, as Orestes Brownson once said.

Now as to some of my other beliefs, for reference and possible discussion, I am a geocentrist and antievolutionist-an absolute believer in a literal six-day creation of the universe from nothing by Almighty God-and that this universe rotates around an unmoving earth at it's center, and is about 6000 years old and does not evolve.
