Hi Tim,
In reply to your 6/22 post called Beast and False Prophet May Not Be Human After All at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/june2005/timm622.htm and your article called Why The Beast/Antichrist And The False Prophet Enter The Lake of Fire First at http://www.escapeallthesethings.com/beast-antichrist-false-prophet-lake-fire.htm I have also recently wondered if Maitreya, who calls himself the Christ, is a fallen angel, and if he is the Beast of the book of Revelation that is thrown into the lake of fire. Matthew 25:41 does say that the "everlasting fire was prepared for the devil and his angels," and the devil's angels are the fallen angels. Of course, the Bible doesn't say who the Beast is, but Maitreya has been known to disappear into thin air which is something that an angel or fallen angel would be able to do.
Also I heard Maitreya's disciple Benjamin Creme on the George Noory Radio show say that Maitreya can change his appearance to look like anyone, and Mr. Creme said that Maitreya one day changed his appearance one day to look like Benjamin Creme's twin. According to this article at http://www.redmoonrising.com/maitreya.htm "Benjamin Creme claims that Maitreya created and inhabited a human body in 1977, and privately entered society taking up residence in London. Since then he is alleged to have privately appeared to thousands of individuals, performing miracles and wonders and convincing many of the truth of his mission." We also know that the Son of Perdition will do signs and lying wonders (2 Thess. 2:9) and the False Prophet doeth great wonders (Rev. 13:13). So I am wondering if Maitreya really did create and inhabit a human body in 1977 as a demonic spirit of one of the giants that was killed during Noah's flood, or is it possible that Maitreya is a fallen angel who shapeshifts into the form of human being anytime that he chooses like one of the sons of God (fallen angels) who went into the daughters of men and created a race of giants which were called the Nephilim.
Also in regards to the beast with 7 heads and 10 horns, Rev. 13:3 states, "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." Does the head just appear to be wounded to death? And then the deadly wound is healed. If the beast was a fallen angel, how would anyone know that a fallen angel was dead if he had no heartbeat and it appeared like his head was wounded to death possibly with blood gushing out of his wound? Not that the Bible says blood that blood is gushing out of his wound, but if blood can gush out of a communion wafer, then why couldn't blood gush out of the head of the beast? Also couldn't a fallen angel give himself what sounds like a human heartbeat if he suddenly looked like he came back to life after he pretended to be dead? Is this the meaning of a lying wonder?There is also another individual called Master Jesus who "became incarnate in a 640 yr old Syrian body and has lived in Rome since 1984" according to Maitreya's website link at http://www.share-international.org/archives/AgelessWisdom/aw_pl-JnM.htm Since there is no such thing as reincarnation, is this also another demonic spirit from one of the giants that was killed during Noah's flood who is inhabiting a 640 yr. old Syrian body? Is this the truth that he is inhabiting a 640 yr. old Syrian body, or is he also another fallen angel? Could this Master Jesus be the False Prophet? According to this article at Maitreya's website at http://www.share-international.org/archives/religion/faq_religion.htm Master Jesus "will take over the throne of St Peter. He will not become the Pope, but the true apostolic succession will begin from that time. The Master Jesus is, now, in charge of the Christian churches. Maitreya is the World Teacher for all groups, religious and non-religious alike, and the inspirer of all the different evolutionary endeavours on the planet. In the light of the new dispensation, when the Master Jesus, the Master Who was St Paul, the one Who was St Peter, the Master Who was St John the Beloved, and other disciples who were around Jesus are seen openly and acknowledge Themselves to be who they are, it will completely transform the thinking of intelligent Christian people. The shock to the Christian Church will be immense, of course. Theologians will have to rewrite their theology. Every teaching that has been handed down has come, in the beginning, by word of mouth, taking centuries for its dissemination. Inevitably, every teaching is distorted, more or less, with the result that the teachings in some cases bear little relation to the original. There is enough of it to grip the imagination and the spiritual aspiration of the masses, but the details alienate one teaching from another. All the teachings come from the same source, the Spiritual Hierarchy, and all are in total agreement but with slight differences - given for certain peoples at specific times. The distortions have led to the divisions which we see between nations and religions. The task of the Master Jesus is to rid the Christian Church of all its man-made dogmas and doctrines which today befuddle, and I would say bedevil, the minds of countless millions of Christians who otherwise would be ready for this event. They are told it cannot happen until the end of the world; it is happening now. We have the same situation now as there was 2,000 years ago in Palestine, when the Sanhedrin was expecting 'a warrior king' to rid them of Roman rule. When Jesus came they did not recognize Him. The Christian, Muslim and other fundamentalist religious leaders will probably be among the last to recognize the Christ, the World Teacher, for Who and what He is. (June 95)" (Hopefully any Christians left behind at the Rapture will recognize Maitreya as the False Christ if he turns out to be the Beast and Master Jesus as the False Prophet if he turns out to be the False Prophet although the Bible does not give the name of the Beast and the False Prophet in the book of Revelation. However, the unrighteous that are damned and perish will believe a lie according to 2 Thess. 2:8-12.)
As an interesting side note, the questions and answers at http://www.share-international.org/archives/religion/faq_religion.htm also states the following:Q. Where is the Virgin Mary?
A. "The disciple who was the Mother of Jesus in Palestine is now a Master and is not in incarnation at this time. He is responsible for the many visions and other phenomena - weeping and moving statues and the like." (Since there is no such thing as reincarnation, is this another demonic spirit of one of the giants killed during Noah's flood who is appearing as the apparition of the Virgin Mary? Notice that the Master is a HE although the mother of Jesus in real life was not a he.)
So I guess time will tell whether either the Beast of Rev. 13 and the False Prophet are fallen angels or not, but it certainly would be a good reason for them being thrown alive into the lake of fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels before the Millenium begins. However, what about the goats that are sent away into the lake of fire in Matthew 25:31-46 when Jesus comes in his glory and all the holy angels with him, he sits upon his throne of his glory and separates the sheep from the goats. Doesn't this scenario also take place before the Millenium begins and not at the great white throne judgement when unbelievers raised from the dead are thrown into the lake of fire if there name is not written in the book of life? The goats in Matthew 25: 31-46 are told by Jesus "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." I always thought this scenario took place at the beginning of the Lord Jesus' reign on earth.
God bless,
