So then this begs the question, why would anyone be fooled by the AC?
Quoting: Bunji Fake miracles, appealing to the ego (don't underestimate the power of the Ego to justify just about anything to anyone at any time,) appearing to solve world problems...
The antichrist is logical, practical...right place/right time.
Jesus isn't interested in saving this system, or putting a Band-Aid on things.
Antichrist says "We can fix this"
Christ says "Let it burn"
So to speak.
It is not intuitive to most that the savior would prefer to let it collapse and burn. It seems cold-hearted and merciless, but Christ and those in him know a deeper spiritual truth about the nature of material life in this age. It's going to be okay.
Most Christians do not even understand this, they are ripe to be deceived in this manner.
