I am sending you three short articles about the Maitreya. He will be the "global savior" to the world, but for believers in Jesus, he will be the Anti-Christ. His "prophet" is Benjamin Creme...read below how influential this guy is and how while we may laugh at his words and his website as ridiculous, the global elite is not laughing but endorsing him. He is tied with the UN of course, and heralding that this new global leader is on the scene and even tells who he is. Beware of actually going to his website: Share International...very dark. I am sending you just the nuts and bolts. Pray and Fast for this nation. It will not be long and you will not be able to even mention the name of Jesus in public...you may scoff and think I am kidding or an alarmist, but I kid you not as things are moving very quickly for the enemy. Meanwhile, God is on the throne and laughing at them! He is raising up these evil men for His purposes just as Pharoh was in the time of the Israelites. Press into Jesus, spend time talking to Him and worshipping Him. Only He will be able to sustain and protect you in the days ahead. Prepare yourself spiritually...confess sin, get right with your family and read and meditate on the Word of God.
The following blockquote is the official message from Share about Maitreya.
WHO IS MAITREYA?
He has been expected for generations by all of the major religions. Christians know Him as the Christ, and expect His imminent return. Jews await Him as the Messiah; Hindus look for the coming of Krishna; Buddhists expect Him as Maitreya Buddha; and Muslims anticipate the Imam Mahdi or Messiah.
The names may be different, but many believe they all refer to the same individual: the World Teacher, whose name is Maitreya (My-'tray-ah). Preferring to be known simply as the Teacher, Maitreya has not come as a religious leader, or to found a new religion, but as a teacher and guide for people of every religion and those of no religion.
At this time of great political, economic and social crisis Maitreya will inspire humanity to see itself as one family, and create a civilization based on sharing, economic and social justice, and global cooperation.
He will launch a call to action to save the millions of people who starve to death every year in a world of plenty. Among Maitreya's recommendations will be a shift in social priorities so that adequate food, housing, clothing, education, and medical care become universal rights.
Under Maitreya's inspiration, humanity itself will make the required changes and create a saner and more just world for all.
A Gradual Emergence
In recent years, information about Maitreya's emergence has come primarily from Benjamin Creme, a British artist and author who has been speaking and writing about this event since 1974.
According to Creme, Maitreya descended in July 1977 from His ancient retreat in the Himalayas and took up residence in the Indian-Pakistani community of London. He has been living and working there, seemingly as an ordinary man, His true status known to relatively few. He has been emerging gradually into full public view so as not to infringe humanity's free will.
As a modern man concerned with today's problems, Maitreya has worked on many levels since 1977 to prepare humanity for His outward presence.
From behind the scenes, the outpouring of His extraordinary energy has been the stimulus for dramatic changes on many fronts, including the fall of communism in the Soviet Union, the collapse of apartheid in South Africa, the rapprochement between East and West, the growing power of the people's voice, and a worldwide focus on preserving the environment.
Outwardly, He has met with groups of journalists and influential leaders from all fields, informing them of His solutions to today's most pressing problems and of the role they might play in the coming time.
Since 1988 Maitreya has appeared miraculously throughout the world, mainly to orthodox religious groups, presenting in the simplest terms the great spiritual laws governing our lives. And, through steadily increasing signs and spiritual manifestations, now widely reported in the media, He has touched the hearts of millions, preparing them for His imminent appearance.
Day of Declaration
At the earliest possible moment, Maitreya will demonstrate His true identity. On the Day of Declaration, the international television networks will be linked together, and Maitreya will be invited to speak to the world.
We will see His face on television, but each of us will hear His words telepathically in our own language as Maitreya simultaneously impresses the minds of all humanity. Even those who are not watching Him on television will have this experience.
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of spontaneous healings will take place throughout the world. In this way we will know that this man is truly the World Teacher for all humanity.

From: The Anti-Christ by Peter Goodwin
One major aspect of Creme's mission was the formation of Share International Foundation and the publication of it's monthly self-titled magazine. Each issue contains a brief synopsis of the emergence of Maitreya on the first two pages and then a brief message that has been trance-channeled through Benjamin Creme from an Ascended Master known simply as "The Master" on page three. The spiritual thrust of SI is clearly obvious in each issue that is published. Despite this fact, or perhaps because of it, SI has a long list of prominent, well respected international diplomats, religious leaders and political figures who have had articles published in this magazine. They include articles written by former UN leader Boutros Boutros-Ghali; present leader Kofi Annan; former President of Ireland Mary Robinson; Gro Harlem Brundtland who is director-general of the World Health Organization and former Prime Minister of Norway; the Dalai Lama; and recently even Britain's Crown Prince Charles. Even though the average man on the street would most likely dissolve into hysterical laughter upon being presented with the beliefs of Creme and Share International, it is easily shown that this magazine is well-respected and taken seriously by many influential members of the Global Elite. In fact, Share International Foundation is accredited as an official non-governmental organization (NGO) by the United Nations, and the magazine, as stated on the inside cover of each issue, is published by SI "...in association with the Department of Public Information at the United Nations."

The One World Religion--Islam Claiming Jesus Is Muslim
Islam in the United States is making the case that it is the universal religion. The Council on American Islamic Relations, an un-indicted co-conspirator in the infamous Holy Land Foundation terrorist money laundering trial, is conducting a campaign that claims anyone who submits to god is Muslim. During the month of January in several southern cities, the campaign posted billboards and bus signs claiming Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohammed were Muslim. According to the South Florida Sun Sentinel the signs read: "ISLAM: The Way of Life of Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad."
The Sun Sentinel reports that Altaf Ali, director of CAIR's South Florida chapter, said, "We owe it to our fellow Americans to let them know that Islam stands for peace. Muslims are here and Muslims are part and parcel of the United States." Ali said the ad accurately describes Abraham, Moses and Jesus. Ali claims, "A Muslim is anyone who submits their will to God. By that definition Abraham and all the prophets are Muslim because they submitted their will to God." These signs and others like them were placed in Portland, Oregon, San Antonio, Texas, and TampaBay and Orlando, Florida. WorldNetDaily has reported that CAIR also has a campaign to put materials in American libraries that promote Sharia Law.
Dr. Gary Cass, one-time right hand man for the venerable D. James Kennedy, now heads the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission. Cass says this is "a brazen attempt to label Christianity a false faith which ostensibly began when the followers of Jesus corrupted his "Islamic" teachings! Nothing could be further from the truth. Islam is not the religion of Jesus. In fact, Islam denies that Jesus is the Son of God." Cass says, "Now we're confronted by a devilish undertaking so malicious and so evil that we absolutely must defeat it here and now. Because not only is CAIR slandering our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by claiming He was a Muslim, they are trying to win converts to Islam through their lies about Jesus!"
Sad as it may seem, many Americans who claim to be Christians will be taken in by this Islamic lie. From the last two presidents of the United States -- George W. Bush and the current President -- Americans are told that Muslims, Jews and Christians worship the same god. And many pastors attempt to teach the same from their pulpits. This is simply a lie. History would indicate that Mohammed invented Islam after hijacking Allah, the Lord of the Ka'abah, the pagan temple in Mecca. He hijacked a god to create his religion, now his followers are doing the same to the Jews and Christians. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth and the life; no man comes unto the Father but by Me." You cannot be Christian and believe otherwise.
