Mainstream Christians call him Satan or the \u201canti-Christ\u201d while Muslims know him as <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/pakalert.wordpress.com\/2009\/06\/18\/the-dajjal-war-on-humankind\/\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Dajjal<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/tts\/when_will_it_start_11a.jpg\" alt=\"No actual resemblance but you get the idea\" \/><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Whatever you call him though his appearance has long been prophecied. Later in this article I will explain why these predictions may soon be fulfilled but first a little esoteric background. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">At the beginning of the last century, Steiner taught that Ahriman would appear in North America around now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">It is crucial however not to mistake Ahriman for Lucifer. Despite efforts to confuse the two by their agents in this world, these are two different entities with distinct modes of operation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Moreover, Ahriman\u2019s emergence should not be seen in isolation. His incarnation in human form is one of a series that are crucial to humanity\u2019s spiritual evolution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">According to Steiner Lucifer appeared first, in central China nearly 4,000 years ago. While 2,000 years later Christ was born in a pivitol incarnation in the Middle East<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Now, another 2,000 years have passed and moving further West, Ahriman has incarnated in North America. Both Ahriman and Lucifer exemplfy attributes that exist in all of us but without the redeeming qualities embodied by Christ they can destroy our spiritual potential. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">This is why it is important to learn to discern between Ahriman and Lucifer: not least because one should \u201cknow thy enemy\u201d. So that by utilising the qualities exemplified by Christ we can neutralise their negativity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">It\u2019s also no coincidence that Christ appeared between the two both geographically and historically. Symbolically at least, he balances the two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">As words dervide from his name imply, <em><strong>Lu<\/strong><\/em>cifer is the bearer of false spiritual il<em><strong>lu<\/strong><\/em>mination. He deceives with il<em><strong>lu<\/strong><\/em>sion, <em><strong>lu<\/strong><\/em>ring man from real spirituality with de<em><strong>lu<\/strong><\/em>sions and his inf<em><strong>lu<\/strong><\/em><\/span><strong><\/strong><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">ence can be seen in much of today\u2019s \u201cnew age\u201d movement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Ahriman on the other hand wants to trap man entirely in the physical realm. So while Lucifer strives to lure men from genuine spirituality with counterfeit replicas, Ahriman wants to imprison man in the physical world. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">As will become apparent, in his current incarnation Ahriman is ideally placed to do just that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">As the term suggests, \u201cscientific materialism\u201d confines itself to things that can be calculated in terms of substance. So if it can\u2019t be measured or weighed or quantified in some way then it doesn\u2019t exist, physically, and for some in the scientific community that\u2019s literally all that matters. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">However, esoteric Christians, Muslims and ancient Zoroastrians weren\u2019t the only ones to speak of Ahriman\u2019s coming. Some of his human underlings, his dark prophets as it were, have also prepared for his incarnation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">One such was the infamous Albert Pike who as far back as 1871 wrote of his coming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Albert Pike\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/article.asp?ID=1068\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">letter to Giusseppe Mazzini<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"> <\/span>is one of the most momentous missives ever written. Although Freemasons have tried to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/freemasonry.bcy.ca\/anti-masonry\/pike_mazzini.html\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">label the letter a fraud<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">, alleging it to be the creation of one <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/L%C3%A9o_Taxil\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Leo Taxil<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">, it is nonetheless grimly prophetic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Taxil died in 1907 \u2013 years before any of the events outlined in the letter took place. So whoever wrote the letter still accurately predicted most of the major events of the 20th century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Moreover, it makes some predictions that have yet to be fulfilled, although their potential is becoming ominously apparent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Regular visitors to this website are probably familiar with the letter but I will briefly outline some of its contents. The world will be racked by three world wars, the writer imparts, the first of which will see the overthrow of Russia\u2019s ruling dynasty with the country being transformed into a \u201cfortress of atheistic Communism\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">The Second World War would end with the establishment of \u201ca sovereign state of Israel in Palestine.\u201d While the third world war will start with a clash between Zionism and the Muslim world that will ultimately lead to a global conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">However, the ensuing slaughter would merely be a prelude to the sovereign enthronement in this world of a diabolical entity. Although whoever wrote the letter to Giusseppe Mazzini refers to this entity as \u201cLucifer\u201d this is probably a ruse. We take it to be Ahriman\/Satan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">All of which serves as an introduction because this writer and a trusted psychic friend think we\u2019ve spotted him. The long awaited \u201canti-Christ\u201d or Satan\/Ahriman incarnate has been identified.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/tts\/dimon_and_bankfein.jpg\" alt=\"Jamie Dimon and Lloyd Blankfein: agents of the anti-Christ?\" \/><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">I\u2019m not going to name him but will offer some pointers and leave it to readers to see if they can identify him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">He started out in the field of science and high technology and while still relatively young moved into the realm of high finance and banking. A seemingly abrupt transition but he nonetheless remained in his element because scientific materialism, high technology, high finance and banking are all spheres where Ahriman\u2019s influence prevails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">He was also briefly in the public arena fairly recently \u2013 the object being to establish him as a figure of authority, if only subliminally \u2013 before he returned to the relative anonymity of commercial banking and finance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Nonetheless, this writer believes that he will return to the public arena\u00a0by the end of 2012. The cue for his return being a clash between Iran and the West \u2013 exactly what the letter to Mazinni referred to with its mention of a war between Zionism and the Muslim world \u2013 which can be seen ominously taking shape in the mounting tension between Israel and Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Once ignited it will rapidly escalate into a global conflagration. Whereupon Ahriman incarnate will be recalled to the public arena, possibly to oversee and coordinate the Western war effort. From there he will come into his own with all his servitors in banking, high finance, the corporate media and government in attendance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">I\u2019m going to conclude with extracts from a lecture given by Rudolf Steiner in Zurich on October 27, 1919:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">\u201cAhriman skilfully prepares his goals beforehand; ever since the Reformation and the Renaissance, the economist has been emerging in modern civilisation as the representative governing type\u2026. Rulers are in fact merely the henchmen and enforcers of the economists. One must not imagine that the rulers of modern times are anything but the economists\u2019 agents. And all that is enshrined as law and justice is, if one scrutinizes it carefully, simply a consequence of a thinking dictated by economists\u2026.<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">From the Incarnation of Ahriman: Seven Lectures by Rudolf Steiner published by Rudolf Steiner press<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">\u201c\u2026.because this dominion of the mere \u2018token for material goods\u2019 (i.e. money) has arisen, Ahriman has been given another essential means of deceiving mankind. If people do not realize that the legislative state that safeguards human rights and organism of spirit must balance and redress the economic order established by economists and bankers, then again, through this lack of awareness, Ahriman will find an important instrument for preparing his incarnation. His incarnation is undoubtedly coming, and this lack of insight will smooth the way for his triumphant advance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c0c0c0;\">Note that the Bank of England \u2013 the mother of all central banks and the template for the U.S. Federal Reserve \u2013 was established in 1694 in the wake of the Reformation and Renaissance. Ever since then the power of moneylenders like the Rothschilds has grown, to the point where they now effectively control governments and politicians, just as Steiner pointed out nearly a century ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Also see:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=9664\">The Advent of the Anti-Christ<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If or more likely when war erupts with Iran it will herald the appearance of an ominous figure long foretold.
