Do you think that the False Prophet of Revalations could have been a metaphoric representation of Misunderstandings, Misinterpretationsand Misrepresentation of GOD and his Bible?
If no, do you at least thing that this Jerk has clearly done the same thing that the damned False Prophet is supposed to do? People that claim to be Christians that don't really understand what it is that they're saying claim to be the recipients of miricals daily. What makes this worse is that no real miracle has been worked. They simpy stopped focusing on the original cause of their woe and started focusing on this eternal reward that they may never get.
It has always been my contention that no congregation of hundereds can be filled with poor and suffering people and still claim to be a mass of Christians.
What do you think?

It's possible. We may never know for sure. If they were using symbolism and metaphor for all of the things you suggest, it sure would have been nice if they'd told some body!

I think that the False Prophet will be a man supernaturally charged by the Antichrist during the Tribulation period in Revelation with maintaining the one world religion that the Antichrist will employ. The reason we don't see as many miracles working in our midst is that it was said that in the last days, "evil men and seducers would wax worse and worse" meaning that God would begin to turn a deaf ear to those who would no longer diligently seek His face, that evil would become so strong that it would jade men's hearts against the possibility of miracles being performed. As far as being poor and suffering, the Scripture teaches that we are not to "lay up your treasures where rust doth corrupt and thieves break in and steal." It doesn't mean we have to be broke all the time, it's just a reminder that there are more important things in life than money and that if we're so dead set on attaining them, we still have to earn them by "the sweat of your face."

While I don't know about the majority of your question, I will respond to the last paragraph. There is nothing that I know of that limits belief in Christ to the non-poor and non-suffering.
