According to the book of Revelation of the Bible, a false Christ will appear
and lead the world in to darkness. Modern American lexicon has taken the word
"anti" to mean "opposite". But in truth, the word "anti" means "false." Thus to
use a very simple analogy, blue is a false kelly green, but so is forest green.
What does all this mean? Most people envision the anti Christ as a monster
driven by blood lust who will use depraved rituals as his staple. But in
reality, it's just as possible that the anti Christ will be an individual who
will teach love and peace. He'll be an individual who will heal the sick and
feed the poor. But he's not from God.
What I find so shocking about all of this is that in the year 2007 the anti
Christ is rising from a small, off to the side religion (Scientology) and is
someone I've actually heard of (Tom Cruise.)
Yes I'm serious. Leader of the Scientologists David Miscavige has declared
that Tom Cruise is the new Christ. The evidence that he uses is that Cruise has
been "criticised for his views." (I guess this guy has never written an online
blog.)
Cruise seems like an okay guy. He married Nicole Kidman and that's something
I can envy him for. He's made it in Hollywood and that's admirable. Some of his
movies were okay: 'Top Gun' heck I even liked 'Vanilla Sky'. He seems friendly -
like the type of guy I could sit down and have a beer with, except I don't think
Scientologists are allowed to drink. But accepting him as my spiritual savior?
That's a bit presumptuous.
