I'm sure most of you already know about this but there might be a few who (like me who didn't know) and might find it interesting to hear on NATIONAL news this morning that this man claiming to be the anti-christ is going Global (including America) with his message.  This is what I copied from Foxnews and will also paste the page URL'S:

GUATEMALA CITY —  He calls himself the antichrist, wears the number 666 tattooed on his arm and claims a following of 2 million people.

Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda says he is coming to Guatemala — whether the Central American nation wants him or not.

Guatemala and neighboring Honduras and El Salvador have banned the former evangelical priest, arguing he is a security risk because of potential conflicts with Roman Catholic and evangelical groups. But Miranda still plans to fly in on a private jet Saturday to celebrate his 61st birthday and hold a global conference with thousands of followers.

"It has been predestined and angels will make it happen. He is, after all, God himself," said Axel Poessy, Miranda's media director.

If divinity is not enough, Miranda's right-hand man, Carlos Cestero, argues that Guatemala cannot bar U.S. citizens. "He will come and try to enter," he said.

The impending showdown is Miranda's latest attempt to rally his followers in Central America. Members of his church, which is based in Doral, Florida, have torn up images of saints and other religious symbols in El Salvador, and marched in Guatemala and Honduras.

He claims to be a living incarnation of Jesus Christ, and preaches that sin and the devil do not exist. In January, he revealed tattoos of the numbers 666 on his forearm, and announced that he and his followers were antichrists because their sect's beliefs supersede those of Jesus Christ's teachings. According to the Bible, the Antichrist is someone who will fill the world with wickedness but be conquered by a second coming of Christ.

Hundreds have followed Miranda's lead by getting "666" tattoos. The number 666 is often associated with the Antichrist or the devil.

In a tidy shop in an upscale, Guatemala City neighborhood, 18-year-old Andrea Recinos hunched over as a tattoo artist carved "666" across her back, decorating the number with angel wings.

"I wanted to show my love to the apostle," she said, referring to Miranda. "I wanted to show the whole world that I am an antichrist."

Other followers get "SSS" tattoos, referring to Miranda's motto of "Salvo, siempre salvo," or "Saved, always saved."

Cestero said some of the sect's members donate 50 percent to 80 percent of their earnings to Growing in Grace, often in appreciation of the church's message that nothing is sinful.

"When someone is thankful, they show it by giving a gift, and the people are thankful for the liberty given to them," he said.

Self-Proclaimed 'Antichrist' to hold Global conference despite ban

To my knowledge this is the only "man" who has claimed to be "the" anti-christ with 2 million followers and a church in Miami where all the members are being tatooed with 666.  The 2 million followers from what I can gather are from all parts of the globe.... hmm  any comments?
