Re: Maitreya's 'Star' Sign emerging around the world this year?
Hoax. No such thing as the Anti-Christ.
It's actually called the beast and the false prophet in Revelation.
(5th trumpet sounded)
Rev 9:7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
Rev 9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
Rev 9:9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
Rev 9:10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
Rev 9:11
And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
(2 witnesses prophesying 1260 days)
Rev 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony,
the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw
a beast rise up out of the sea,
having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
(Chapter discussion the mother of harlots)
Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon
a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Rev 16:13
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Rev 16:14
For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
(Passage discussing the false prophet)
Rev 13:11 And I beheld
another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Rev 13:12
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and
causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Rev 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

I agree the word "antichrist" is a bit overused, b/c in Rev, the one world leader in the final stretch(3 1/2 - 7 years) is called "the beast", no argument here. Scripture says that the 1st beast, "the beast" comes out of the bottomless pit when the 5th trumpet is sounded, and his name in the Greek tongue is Apollyon(which means Destroyer). The 2nd beast is the false prophet which worketh false and deceiving signs and lying wonders.
So scripture has pretty much established that the LITERAL antichrist(or counterfeit christ, 1st beast, etc) is what it says in the 5th trumpet passage. As for who the identity of the false prophet? I dunno - however, it looks like 'lord maitreya' could play a big role in the end times. He and Benjamine Creme have taken credit for every lying sign and wonder over the last 30 or so years(i.e. illuminated crosses on buildings and in the skies, statues of mary crying, images of mary in the sky, false "healings", etc).
Satanists from 100 or so years ago like PH Blavatsky and Alice Cooper supposedly had familiar spirit channelling(i.e. really demon channelling) - they're the ones in their writings that 'prophecied' over this 'one world teacher' emerging anytime in the future to bring 'peace' et al(albeit a false one) into the new age of aquarius.
Interesting it happened around the time period when the NIV bible(which was made by 2 high level occultists Wescott and Hort, who were good buddies with Charles Darwin) came out(1881) and spawned many corrupted bible versions.
And for those of you who watch CNN regularly, there were like 2 maitreya ads, and their ad message went something like this, 'he's the Christ to Christians, who are expecting his imminent return, he's Muhammed to Islam, he's maitreya to Buddha, he's Krishna to the Hindus, etc'. The 'he's the christ to christians, who are expecting his imminent return...' is really creepy, b/c this is what the PRE-TRIB RAPTURE teaches(Christ's return is imminent). As we all know, the pre-trib rapture is a DOCTRINE FROM HELL(i.e. there's many, many passages in the bible proving this wrong).
