THE DEVIL IN GORBACHEV, June 5 1988

"The evidence is overwhelming that Gorbachev is the Antichrist," says Robert W. Faid

"When I look at the top of Gorbachev's head, I see a red dragon and over the right eye, there's a tail that hangs, representing stars," says Faid

The Antichrist, in New Testament lore, is the Satanic dictator who will plunge the world into misery and war before Jesus Christ returns to save the faithful.

If Gorbachev is indeed the Antichrist, of course, it could change the landscape of American politics.

How strong is Faid's evidence? Decide for yourself. He uses a book "Theomatics" co-authored by former basketball star Jerry Lucas to show how in Greek, Hebrew and Russian, the letters in Mikhail S. Gorbachev's name add up to multiples of "666."

Here's how Faid explains Gorbachev's swift rise in the Communist Party hierarchy: "Who is responsible for all this? There can be only one answer! Satan was responsible."
