This eschatological view was promoted by the Jesuits, especially Francisco Ribera, in the Counter-Reformation to combat the Lutheran view that the papacy was an 'anti-christ'. In order to point the finger elsewhere, the Catholic church promoted a 'futurist' view, with an anti-christ to come in the future with a Third Temple in Jerusalem etc and a secret rapture. Wolhberg's book pretty much dispels this eschatological view and posits the 'historicist' view. Another view, called "preterism" was also used by the Catholic church to posit that Nero was the anti-christ.

Yes, another MacDonald appears on the eschatological radar! Gosh, who the hell reads this stuff...in contradistinction to Dan Brown, of course? Then there is that magical number "42", I have the book, the film, and the Tee-shirt! Did Ormus's psy-ops programme have a pay-off? Watch this space.
