I was reading an article called Are the Nephilim Giants? I say No by Patrick Heron athttp://www.raidersnewsnetwork.com/editoral.php?feature=5413 in which he claims that the Anti-Christ would be Apollyon, a fallen angel, from the abyss which got me to thinking again about Maitreya possibly being possessed by a demon or possibly a fallen angel since he can shiftshape into looking like someone else which is something Benjamin Creme, Maitreya's spokesman, claimed awhile back when he said that Maitreya changed to his shape to look like Creme's twin at one time.However, I always wondered why would the Muslims accept Maitreya as their Mahdi on Maitreya's Day of Declaration when he is seen as the Christ to apostate Christians, Buddha to the Buddhists and the Mahdi to the Islamic Muslims. Anyway I decided to do a search on Google.com and typed in the words "Apollyon + Maitreya" and I found an article called The AntiChrist Is Here! Lord Maitreya.World Teacher-Acended Master at http://www.unsolvedmysteries.com/usm323221.html The article states that Maitreya is the leader of the Ahmadiyya movement in Islam." This is the first time that I had read an article claiming that information. It also states "Maitreya is the great-grandson of Ghulam Ahmad and thus the 5th Kalifa of the Ahmadiyya movement." Wouldn't it stand to reason that the Muslims might accept Maitreya as their Mahdi on the Day of Declaration since he is a Muslim?If you would like to read more background information about Maitreya in this article at http://www.unsolvedmysteries.com/usm323221.html the information in the article was taken from a book written by a New Ager who worked at Maitreya's Tara Center, and who later had a change of heart and conversion. The article states the following:"First, the Author Troy Lawrence is not the real name of course. He was a premier New Ager who worked at the TARA CENTER and he had access to files and secret memos that people would only dream about. After Maitreya had a no show in April of 1982 he had a change of heart and conversion after reading the book, "Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow" by Constance Cumbley. He said he quit the Tara Center studied Christianity and the World Religions for 2 years and did some serious soul-searching. He returned to the Tara Center and went undercover to find more about Lord Maitreya. He says his life has been threatened many times, physically attacked, been in a high speed chase in hopes of silencing him. He has never regretted going public even though his fellow laborer Randall Baer had been mysteriously killed."There is also information about Apollyon and 666 in the above article.
