As the anti-Christ is the ape of Christ he would have to be Semetic. I believe he is the Prince of Tyre found in Ezekiel. Please note: this does not justify anti-semitism, as the Anti-Christ is one, not a nation. Catholic prophesy throughout the last thousand years points to a Great Monarch who is of European origin, possibly an American. This prince shall fight, and eventually defeat the Anti-Christ. Christ himself will not return for another 1000 years (or more) as is foretold in Revelation. The early Christian fathers proved this in there writings on the Chiliasm (spelling unsure). The Lord does his work through people, hence the need for a Great Monarch. Various prophesies* and aparations of Our Lady indicate that the time of the battle is the present. However, it will involve the Anti-Christ and the Great Monarch. Neither of these has emerged yet, so Iraq cannot be the final battle. They will emerge in good time. For biblical references on the Great Monarch see the 33rd Sunday OT readings in the R.C. Cycle. *Nostradamus, Jeane Dixon, Western Astrology (the non-Karmaic kind) all support a belief that the time is within the next 10 years. When sources which are diametrically opposed start saying the same thing it is wise to take notice. There is deep disagreement between the fundamentalists and the more traditional Churches on last days interpretation. This is the seed of the Great Apostacy, for the fundamentalists will see Christ returned in the Anti-Christ, and the Anti-Christ in the Great Monarch. Our Muslim cousins will see the return of the Imam in the same light. Our Jewish cousins will see their Messiah. The Eastern religions will see a similar phenomenon. To avoid this error the reader should remember the words of the Lord, and of the angels. He shall return as He departed: to the Mount of Olives from on high. Those who do not acknowledge this will cause great trouble for the Great Monarch and for Christians who believe Christ will return from on high at the end of time. Please keep the Church and the prince in your prayers. May His Peace be with you, Michael
