Revelation 8
(10) The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water-- (11) the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
(12) The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.

I made my post within the context of belief in Jesus Christ and Saviour and validity of Holy Scripture. Im not trying to tell people what to believe in, but was referring to something that alot of people believe in, even non Christians..the existance and apperance of a false Messiah during the end times.
A small example of Bible being correct is the creation of the state of Isreal on the EXACT date of the prophecy in the Bible. Everything that was predicted to happen regarding Messiah (in Isaiah for example) was fullfilled by Jesus Christ.
Also the false beliefs today are a result of people applying scripture to suit themselves. Take a look at most modern day churchs, specifically in America and you will find that they teach another Gospel than the original. Actually there are some extreme contradictions that are even mentioned in certain parts of the bible. For example the emphasis on being blessed with material wealth as a sign of God loving you, when Christ himself EXPLICITLY said that if you follow him (genuinly) you must bare a cross and expect to be hated and rejected by the world. (Servant no greater than the master !) Also says that believing in God is no means of material enrichment...says money root of all evil...now take another look at the comercialized churchs of the West.
Finally to totally dismiss an entire religion as a conspiracy is pretty off base. Conspiracies do exsist but not for that length of time. There is a God. Man didnt invent him, God invented us!

the post is in the context of IF you believe in Jesus, Bible and the Antichrist.
Everyone is entitled to believe what they want to, if you dont believe in God thats fine, its your right as you know. The first post was about the many many questions on this board and online in general and interest in the Beast of Revelations. My point was IF the is a God and IF Bible is the truth and IF Jesus is Messiah and IF we are living in last days, then the beast comes after a whole load of other tribulations and hardcore hard times unseen in the world up to the point they happen and NEVER to happen again EVER!
So you question the entire Bible and God, my intention was never to do that because its all based on faith, I was posting to all the people so interesting in End TImes and Beast, 666 etc.

Believing in God is all about faith though ! Having faith to finish to the end and to receive your reward.
You said that we are God? Read Gensis..couple of pages into it...serpent says the same thing. Man is not God ! (in my humble opinon, based soley on the quality of life on earth for most and mans treatment to man)
I said what i said in original post as i was speaking to people who had some form of faith to start with to want to pursue and study the subject of Antichrist and end times. Sorry I imagined some one like yourself with different beliefs wouldnt even read it , seeing as you dont believe it. But then my post title "Misconceptions of Antichrist" may have played a part in that!!!!!!
