In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments.

The Antichrist is already here, in human form. The Antichrist has a name. The name is apathy. It’s a fact that “evil prevails when good men do nothing.” Too many have been doing nothing for far too long, and what could be more “anti-Christ” than to take the position that poverty, hunger, injustice, and abuse of the planet and its inhabitants are none of our business, or that we’re just too busy to do anything about it? Apathy is a luxury we can’t afford any longer, nor do we want.
It’s very much worth adding that Muslims have enormous respect for Jesus and never say his name without adding the homage “Peace be upon him.” The Qur’an refers to the immaculate birth of Christ, acknowledges His miracles, and predicts his Second Coming.

Only those who have learned to live on the land will find sanctuary.
