The AntiChrist, Son of Perdition

It is an assumption that the Man of Sin is the antichrist. There is no person who is "the antichrist" but anyone who denies Jesus is the son of God is an antichrist. The Man of Sin could just as well be someone who claims that Jesus is the son of God - a man who calls himself a Christian but is full of hubris.

Could it be a whole particular tribe?

I can't imagine that the hapless Prince Charles is talented enough to be the Antichrist.

[QUOTE=wintermute]True, but there's the horse-faced mistress to consider. I wouldn't put anything past her.

My Dad, may he rest in peace, used to say "why, son, that woman has the kinda face I'd like to put a halter on!"
Camilla Bowles is definitely in that category. :cowboy:
Remember that thing Eric Idle did on SNL about 25 years ago, where Charles, Prince of Wales, had himself turned into a tampon so he could always be with the woman he loved?
No way could anybody that ragged on ever qualify as Antichrist. :twisted:
Even Bill Clinton, who is probably smart enough to be the Man of Sin, will never live down all the cigar jokes. In fact, in downtown Moscow there is (or at least was a few years ago) a place called the Diplomats Club that features (tastelessly enough) the Monica Lewinsky Cigar Room. It's actually a nice place, where you can buy an extremely expensive Cuban cigar and look fancy in your Armani suit while lightly holding your hair-raisingly expensive brandy snifter with an air of nonchalance. I did it once, on a lark. Very high priced hookers all over the place, too, not that I noticed as I was with Mrs. Yannis at the time. Anyway, the point is that if you have a room named after one of your less-than-epic sexual exploits, then you're all washed up as the Antichrist, who would, one assumes, command a bit more worldly awe than that. :pimp:
No, the Antichrist will be different. He'll be beyond all jokes or moral reproach. Maybe like, say, Elie Weisel, but with a military background. He'll definitely be a Jew. No quesiton about that. He has to be a Pharisee, after all, to be "anti-Christ" by definition.
It's great to have you back in action.
