LOL… apocalyptic email forwards seriously crack me up. I’ve gotten past my initial reaction of irritation and judgement towards the sender(s) being really stupid… and now I can just enjoy these conspiracy theory and apocalyptic emails for their humor value alone.
Body of a recent email forward going around:
According to The Book of Revelations the anti-christ is:
The anti-christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal….the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is this anti-christ,………. OBAMA??
Seriously? Seriously. Real sophisticated (not to mention nonexistent) quote from the book of revelationS. It’s especially sad that I received this email from an actual purported bible-believing family member.
I do also have to credit Jared for his great commentary on this particular email:
The most intriguing part of this, aside from Caesar Nero having already been the elusive 666 figure during the 1st century, is that it claims the antichrist is prophesied to be of “Muslim descent.” Muhammad penned the Quran in the 7th century, over 500 years after the New Testament was complete. Strange that the New Testament was talking about Muslims before they existed.
