Before I even try to answer that slap in the face of the scriptures, I demand you read Romans Chapter 10 and 11.

It is your answer.

OK, I've read Romans 10 and 11 dozens of times in English, 10-15 times in the original koine greek, five or six times in French, once in Afrikaans, twice in Italian, once in Esperanto, and hope to do so in Turkish sometime in the next few months. (the New Testament is an excellent tool for learning a new language.)

I've also read the rest of the Bible, including John's first letter, which defines antichrists rather precisely -- the myth, and those who proclaim it, that you can know the God of the Bible while abhorring/neglecting/ignoring Jesus Christ.

In other words, talmudic/rabbinic judaism. The faith that howled for the crucifiction of God's ambassador in the first century AD (that means Anno Domini, the Year of our Lord) -- and has spent the following two millenia trying to justify that decision.

Or does the Son of God pale to insignificance in your eschatology, next to the political fortunes of a Christ-hating socialist entity?
