The Beast Cometh (666)!

For the deceiver seeks to liken himself in all things to the Son of God.

Christ is a lion, so antichrist is also a lion. Christ is a king, so antichrist is also a king. The Savior was manifested as a lamb; so he too, similarly, will appear as a lamb, though within he is a wolf. The Savior came into the world in the circumsion, and he too will come in the same way.

The Lord sent apostles among all the nations, and he similarly will send false apostles. The Savior gathered the sheep that were scattered abroad, and he too will bring together a people that is scattered abroad.

The Lord gave a seal to those who believed on him, and he too will give one in like manner. The Savior appeared in the form of a man, and he too will come in the form of a man. The Savior raised up and showed his holy flesh like a temple, and he too will raise a temple of stone in Jerusalem.

--Hippolytus, On the Antichrist

It seems so close, and so real. Antichrist is in the world, and working hard to bring us all down.
