Perhaps I should, but I don't recall in my 4 years at Catholic School, discussing to any great extent, the Book of Revelation.

I have read only exerpts from it, sometimes hear readings from it at mass, and scanned thru PLaw's link. I don't claim to be an authority, yet being a person of faith, I do find it interesting.
However, doesn't it also say that this "anti-Christ will be followed and loved (at least at first) by multitudes of people???? Also, I know about the reference to the unrest in the Middle East, but does it actually say this Anti-Christ will be of Mid-Eastern decent or is a matter of interpretation?
One last thing, is it so impossible to believe that one day this world we know would/could no longer exist?
