I am almost in agreement.
Just saw a television add that proclaims that a star will shine in the heavens signaling the revelation that Maitreya is Christ.
Big problem here. He supposedly has been around for a while, yet Jesus (Yeshua)said that his coming will be like the lighting from the east to the west. He also said not to believe it if someone told you to go somewhere to seek him.
The followers of Maitreya do just this. He will probably be the revelation of the Mahdi that Muslims have been waiting for, but never could possibly be Christ.
