Hi all :)
The Antichrist conspiracy is a long term plan to rewrite religious history by means of a created conspiracy theory, the reason you've never heard of it is because the Antichrist conspiracy is merely a snappy name I've contrived to refer to it, call it "The Jesus Myth Hypothesis" if you like or you movie buffs may prefer "MK-ULTRA: The Final Conflict" :-D
Let's start by defining the term Antichrist. As far a I'm aware; the first recorded use of the Koine Greek word antichristos comes from the first letter of John in the New Testament: "Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also."
1 John 2:18-23 (NIV)
Next we have the second letter of John in the New Testament: "Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist."
2 John 1:7 (NIV)
So according to 1 John the antichrist is someone who "denies that Jesus is the Christ" & according to 2 John is those that "do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh". In the context of this study; its irrelevant whether or not you believe in the New Testament or whether 1 John and/or 2 John are Johannine, because this particular article isn't going to concern itself with the validity of biblical prophecy but rather is an attempt to see if there is evidence of a conspiracy.
To begin we must go to the second century C.E & the Gnostic dogma of Docetism. Docetism is the belief supposedly held by Gnostic "Christians" that Jesus body was an illusion & that he did not suffer or die on the cross/post. The idea finds expression in the Gnostic texts: Second Treatise of the Great Seth & Gnostic Apocalypse of Peter. So the Antichrist assertions that Jesus did not come in the flesh & was not crucified, appear to find there first expression among Gnostic's probably from the early part of the second century.
The Koran depicts Jesus as neither being crucified or killed, these references clearly come from a manuscript tradition other then the Gospels, The Arabic Infancy Gospel is generally regarded by scholars as the source for the Koranic references to Jesus, The Arabic Infancy Gospel is in turn believed to be based on the Gnostic Gospels: The Infancy Gospel of Thomas & The Infancy Gospel of James. However I feel its important to mention that The Koran does refer to Jesus as al-Masih or the Christ. In fact; Gnosticism seems to be the primary link in this saga, The Roman Catholic Church took a Hermetic "mix & match" approach to its theology, incorporating the Egyptian ankh or cross, the trinity of Osiris, Isis & Horus & a Platonic afterlife.
The Antichrist conspiracy in modern times explicitly begins in the latter half of the eighteenth century with the enlightenment thinker Charles François Dupuis (1742 - 1809). It's from this point onwards that the idea of Jesus as solar myth begins to emerge. Dupuis; a french savant, interested in astronomy & mythology, wrote his "magnum opus": Origin of all Religious Worship in 1795, in which he championed the unity of all myths & religions: Chapter Nine: "If there is one fable, which would seem entitled to escape the analysis, which we have undertaken of religious poems and sacred legends, by the laws of physical and astronomical science, it is doubtless that of Christ, or the legend, which under that name is really dedicated to the worship of the Sun."
Constantin François de Chassebœuf, comte de Volney (1757 - 1820) was responsible for popularizing the ideas of Dupuis with his work Les Ruines (1791) that envisioned the final unification of all the worlds religions. It's interesting to note that the Wikipedia article on Volney shows a photograph of his tomb; a giant pyramid no less..
Robert Taylor (1784 – 1844) was a clergyman turned radical, in his work The Diegesis Taylor further expanded on the unfounded idea that Christianity is little more then a re-branding of solar myths.
Helena Blavatsky (1831 - 1891) is credited with beginning the New Age Movement. She founded The Theosophical Society in 1875, the society was a hodgepodge of Gnostic theology. In her 1889 work Key to Theosophy, Blavatsky elucidated the society's objectives: "1.To form the nucleus of a Universal Brotherhood of Humanity without distinction of race, colour, or creed. 2.To promote the study of Aryan and other Scriptures, of the World's religion and sciences, and to vindicate the importance of old Asiatic literature, namely, of the Brahmanical, Buddist, and Zoroastrian philosophies. 3.To investigate the hidden mysteries of Nature under every aspect possible, and the psychic and spiritual powers latent in man especially." Key to Theosophy
"In addition to the stated objectives, as early as 1889 Blavatsky had told a group of Theosophical students that the real purpose of establishing the Society was to prepare humanity for the reception of the World Teacher when he appeared again on earth. This was repeated again more publicly by Annie Besant in 1896, five years after Blavatsky's death."
Blavatsky, Albert Pike (1809 - 1891) & Aleister Crowley (1875 - 1947) all studied Gnosticism & were heavily influenced by it. With the discovery of The Nag Hammadi library in 1945, Gnosticism came to the fore once again, the 52 mostly Gnostic manuscripts were discovered buried in a sealed jar by a local peasant, since then numerous Gnostic groups have formed including: The Society of Novus Spiritus, The Ecclesia Gnostica & The Thomasine Church, to name but a few.
Jordan Maxwell/Russell Pine is an admitted admirer of Madame Blavatsky & another proponent of the "Christ solar myth theory". In common with The Rosicrucians, Carl Jung (1875 - 1961) & the aforementioned Blavatsky; Maxwell believes we are approaching The Age of Aquarius, a time of spiritual enlightenment heralded by a great spiritual teacher. Maxwell fuses his theosophic, Antichrist discourse with Illuminati & 911 truths, as does David Icke. Maxwell's voice was featured in the film Zeitgeist: the Movie (2007) in fact the director Peter Joseph/James Coyman commented on the Jeff Rense Show that Maxwell was: "the lifeblood of the piece (Zeitgeist)". For those who don't know "Zeitgeist: The Movie" is an online film that covers the "Jesus solar myth theory", 911 & the federal Reserve Bank, a companion book to part 1 of Zeitgeist by Acharya S/D.M. Murdock writer of The Christ Conspiracy was also released. Achaya S states in her article The Origins of Christianity that: "...the most enduring and profound controversy in this subject is whether or not a person named Jesus Christ ever really existed.... when one examines this issue closely, one will find a tremendous volume of literature that demonstrates, logically and intelligently, time and again that Jesus Christ is a mythological character along the same lines as the Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Sumerian, Phoenician, Indian or other godmen, who are all presently accepted as myths rather than historical figures."
In recent years the conspiracy has picked up steam; Zecharia Sitchin who distorted ancient mythology with his Nibiru fantasies, is now experiencing something of a revival. Dan Brown has popularised the Jesus myth with his book The Da Vinci Code (2003), such myths were further buoyed by The Gospel of Judas (2006) & The Lost Tomb of Jesus (2007) documentaries. Also, due in part to the likes of Clinton Richard Dawkins, atheism has gone mainstream & become rather fashionable.
What this all amounts to is the rewriting of history by the mystery religions of the Illuminati, but perhaps the most sickening aspect to all this is the way the Illuminati have hijacked the Truth Movement for its own ends, those ends presumably being to turn the movement into a New Age cult, receptive to the machinations of Project Blue-Beam & their coming world teacher. Now that isn't to say that all the individuals I've mention are Illuminatists, its possible the Order simply introduce ideas & certain concepts into the realm of discourse, by means of academia, art & the Internet then smugly sit back & watch as people take up those ideas & run with them, positions & counter-positions arise from the interpolated disinformation, without "our masters" needing to lift a finger. You may ask: "Aren't these connections just an example of ideas mutating & spawning new cultural trends?" That could be the case, the patterns I've highlighted could more easily be explained as the result of a cultural paradolia, but bear in mind that even if you don't believe in Bible prophecy, the Mayan Long Count Calender, astrology & magick, these Lucifarian zealots seem to. The Illuminati likely see the world of ideas as paintbox & society as their canvas, to them the Antichrist conspiracy is their "Birth of Venus" the war on terror their "Mona Lisa". So what does the Antichrist conspiracy mean for the future? The truth is no one but the initiated can say, but my hope remains in Jesus Christ/Yeshua Mashiach & his promised return.
"At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time. "So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather." Matthew 24:23-27 (NIV)
"To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:31-32 (NIV)
