The Bush/Nero Connection
Who is the Real Anti-Christ? Over the last 2,000 years many have claimed to know. All of them have seemingly been wrong. So what makes me any different? The plain facts, and an historical perspective..
The term "antichrist' was first used in the most recent books of the Bible, ( 1 John 2:18) " many antichrists have made their appearance." Most Biblical scholars believe that St. John was referring to members of a Gnostic Christian cult. For the early church, all those actively working against the spirit of Christ were considered antichrists, whether or not they called themselves Christians. As St. Augustine would later put it: “There you have the Antichrist – everyone who denies Christ by his works.”
At the same time, the early church believed that there would be one individual, a single man whose evil deeds would far exceed all the others; and that this individual would make his appearance just before the second coming of Jesus. Jesus called him ( Mark 13:14) "the abomination of desolation" Paul referred to him as the ( 2 thess 2:3) "man of sin" and "son of perdition". John in his letter and in his Revelation to the church called him "the beast" or "antichrist."
Most scholars believe that the antichrist in the book of Revelation was Nero, emperor of Rome from 54 - 68 AD. Nero was the first emperor who persecuted the church with a vengeance, blaming Christians for the burning of Rome, and torturing them to death in the Forum. Both St. Paul and St. Peter were executed by Nero. After Nero was forced to commit suicide, it was widely believed that Nero was still alive in Parthia (the middle east), hiding out (much like Elvis), and that he would soon return to reclaim his throne. As late as the fifth century AD, Lactantius (240-320 A.D.), Jerome (340-420 A.D.) and St. Augustine (354-430 A.D.) all still assumed that the Antichrist would turn out to be a kind of resuscitated Nero.
Were they wrong? Certainly Nero the man never returned from the dead, and the church eventually looked elsewhere for the antichrist - but that doesn't invalidate the prophecy. Nero has indeed returned, but not as Nero the Roman emperor, he's returned in spirit as George W Bush, the 43rd (P)resident of the United States.. Nero was only a foreshadowing of the last antichrist. This final and most powerful antichrist in history is prepared to finish the evil campaign that first began with Nero almost 2,000 years ago.
Most Biblical historians, including Barclay, believed that 666 was in reference to Emperor Nero. The Hebrew transliteration (without vowels) of Nero's Latin name, Caesar Nero, (QWSR NRWN) adds up to 666 using the Hebrew alphabet above. But St. John gave us this number (666) rather than his name (Nero) so that we could identify him today. Because as I have already demonstrated conclusively in exhibit #1, George Bush has the mark of the beast like no other man in human history.
The Beast and His Brain: One of the mysteries of Revelation has been the identity and connection of a second beast who rescues the antichrist and serves as his prophet. Rev 13:12 "He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast." Carl Rove rescued bush from political death after his defeat in a Congressional race, and since 1993 he has served as the brains and the cleverness of the antichrist. There is even a new best-selling book by that title "Bush's Brain". No mere presidential advisor has ever held so much power. He is often referred to as 'President Rove', and even other people within the bush regime worry about his growing influence and power. Every decision bush makes is calculated and spun by Rove for political effect, with absolutely no regard for the truth. A true prophet divines the will of God in order to help lead a nation in the path of truth and righteousness. But a false prophet like Rove can predict the moods and weaknesses of the people in order to manipulate public opinion and start wars under false pretenses in order to advance his evil agenda.
the Bush/Herod Connection
George W. Bush is very closely related to the House of Windsor and the British Royal Family, and he is also related to just about every other Royal family in Europe. In fact, George Jr. is more closely related to British royalty by blood than his own father is. Why? Because of the blue-blood of the Pierce family running through his mother's veins. Bush is not only the wealthiest president we've ever had, he's also the purest aristocrat ever to sit in the White House. Why is this so important to our discussion? Because in his recent book, The Antichrist and a Cup of Tea, author Tim Cohen has meticulously documented why he believes the Antichrist must be someone who, like Bush, is closely related to the British Royal family. Though Cohen's prime suspect seems to be Prince Charles, clearly George Bush is a much better candidate for the role.
Bush's bloodline is also tied into the 13th bloodline of the Illuminati. According to some, the Illuminati are a group of rich, powerful, satanically inspired families who have conspired throughout history to rule the earth, even to the present day. This thirteenth or 'royal' illuminati bloodline is the one that is widely believed to lead directly to the final Antichrist.
Noted British author David Icke has traced the Bush bloodline as far back as Phillip of Macedonia, the father of Alexander the Great, who established the Greek World Empire. From that point, the Bush bloodline passes through the principal ruling families of the Roman Empire and eventually through European royalty as well. He is also descended from Queen Cleopatra, royal consort to Julius Caesar. Icke comments that "She also bore twins with Mark Anthony, who has his own connections to this line and its many offshoots" Marc Anthony happens to be the great-Grandfather of Emperor Nero. So now there is also a definite blood connection between Emperor Nero, the original Biblical prototype for the Antichrist, and George W Bush. The Bush bloodline also passes directly through Herod the Great, the Judean King who originally tried to murder Jesus as a child, and he is related to Herod Antipas, who murdered John the Baptist and turned Jesus over to Pilate to be crucified.
the Bush/Judas Connection
Understanding the psychology of Judas Iscariot is a good way of understanding the Antichrist. Judas was a model or template for the way in which the Antichrist would betray Christ, even while pretending to be a disciple and follower of Christ. You could say that George Bush is a reincarnation of Judas Iscariot, because he thinks and acts and is motivated in precisely the same way.
Remember that Judas is the disciple who betrayed Jesus for money. For thirty pieces of silver to be exact. The Bible is very clear that this is what he did, and that is what actually happened. But what it doesn’t tell us is how he rationalized this betrayal in his own mind. It doesn’t tell us because it was basically a lie and rationalization, and so it really didn’t matter. But it is clear that Judas did not see himself a greedy man who sold out Jesus for money, even though that’s what he was and that’s exactly what he did. The same is very true with Bush – and with most fundamentalist Christians today.
We know that Judas was a greedy man because the Bible tells us he kept the money for the group, and it also says that he was a thief, so he must have been stealing all along. At one point Judas objects that Jesus is being anointed with costly ointment, because he rationalizes that it could have been sold and used to help the poor. But he really didn’t want to help the poor – he only wanted more money to steal for himself. In the same way Bush rationalizes that all his tax cuts for the rich were really to stimulate the economy, and provide jobs and prosperity for the poor. But in truth he cares nothing about the poor, and in fact the poor are poorer and much more numerous since he came to power. Like Judas, Bush has been put in charge of the US treasury, and his real goal is to raid it on behalf of himself and all his rich pals. He is a thief. But exactly like Judas, he uses a pretended concern for the poor as a pretext and cover for his theft from the government purse.
Eventually Judas sells Jesus out for money, but it is obvious that he didn’t understand the real extent of his betrayal, anymore than Bush does today. Only at the very end, when he finally saw himself for what he really was, and understood what he had done, did he throw away the money and go hang himself. He hung himself because he could not live with the truth of what he was.
The truth is that he had deceived himself as much as he had deceived everyone around him. Jesus had constantly warned about the deceitfulness of riches, but it’s not the sort of warning Judas ever took very seriously. Nor has Bush. So what kind of rationalization did Judas give himself for betraying Christ? Did he tell himself it was only to force Jesus to take a more aggressive stand against Roman occupation? Did he convince himself that he could help hurry along the coming of the Kingdom of God? In spite of all the evidence to the contrary, had he convinced himself of what a lot of other people already believed – that Jesus was crazy, or a charlatan, and that finally he needed to be stopped for his own good? Whatever the reason he gave himself, it was not the real reason. The real reason is greed.
In the same manner Bush has betrayed and lied to his own countrymen, and got us involved in a bloody war in Iraq. He told us it was over weapons of mass destruction, but that was a lie. He still tells himself it is to establish freedom and democracy in the Middle East, but that is a lie and a rationalization as well. The real reason is greed for oil.
Why did Judas betray Jesus with a kiss? Isn’t it because he didn’t yet understand the true depth of his own betrayal? So why should we expect Bush to understand? The fact that Judas didn’t understand until the very end, the sort of evil person he really was, did not make him or his betrayal any less evil. It is our actions that count, not how good we are at rationalizing our most evil actions. The latter is something that the most evil people are always good at doing. Including Bush.
