Entry: Absinthe and the Apocalyse Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/absinthe_and_the_apocalypse#7318 Post contents: Not to get in trouble, but I give you John Wesley on the classic protestant view of antichrist: "He is, in an emphatical sense, the man of sin, as he increases all manner of sin above measure. And he is, too, properly styled, the son of perdition, as he has caused the death of numberless multitudes, both of his opposers and followers, destroyed innumerable souls, and will himself perish everlastingly. He it is that opposeth himself to the emperor, once his rightful sovereign; and that exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped. Commanding angels and putting kings under his feet, both of whom are called gods in scripture; claiming the highest power, the highest honour; suffering himself, not once only, to be styled God or vice-God. Indeed no less is implied in his ordinary title, 'Most Holy Lord,' or 'Most Holy Father,' so that he sitteth enthroned in the temple of God, mentioned in Rev. 11:1. Declaring himself that he is God - claiming the prerogatives which belong to God alone." If y'all want to send Ratzinger a bottle of the green fairy, be my guest! Sent at: 2008 09 06
