Anti-Christ Oui Ou Non?

Anti-Christ Oui Ou Non?
(from a media lead sheet of the February addition of Newsweek magazine)

RELIGION: "He Calls Himself God" (p. 55). Miami Bureau Chief Arian Campo-
Flores reports on Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda, the head of the Growing in Grace
International Ministry, a sprawling organization that includes more than 300
congregations in two dozen countries. He counts more than 100,000 followers and
claims to reach millions more through a 24-hour TV channel, a radio show and
several Web sites. And when he enters a congregation, he is introduced as Jesus
Christ himself. Though de Jesus' followers worship him, others denounce him as a
charlatan and even call his ministry a cult. Everyone, however, agrees on one
thing: his teachings are incendiary.

I read the whole article this morning, and though I don't really trust the media to give you things entirely in context, I was still astonished at what I read. As said in the article this man has himself announced as Jesus the savior, claims that Jesus integrated himself with him, and just recently claimed himself the anti-Christ, revealing a 666 tattoo on his forearm. His reasoning is that since he is the new savior people should worship him and stop worshiping Jesus of Nazareth. Indeed as the article states, people chant "Lord! Lord! Lord!" as he walks onto stage.
Surely he is the personification of the anti-Christ attitude and is most definitely an anti-Christ, but could he be the anti-Christ? Accourding to other articles and interviews it seems that he really wants to be the anti Christ. He dreams of creating one world government where everyone worships him. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
