A self-proclaimed prophet who has been predicting the future for over 20 years has ominously said that 2023 will mark the "beginning of the end" with the return of the Antichrist.
Brazilian Athos Salomé, dubbed the 'Living Nostradamus', claims to have had a vision of this new year with the visit of the Enemy of the Messiah, whom he claims is not just one person as described in holy books, reported the Daily Star.
Recently, Athos claims to have predicted Covid, the Queen's death, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and even Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter, but he has been telling the future for more than 20 years.
In his worrying list of events set to unravel over the course of 2023, the 35-year-old predicts a crushing blow to cryptocurrency and a zombie virus emerging from Antarctica.
Terrifyingly, among his prophecies for next year is the possible return of one of the most feared characters in Christian history, called the Enemy of the Messiah, which symbolises the end of time.
Athos told the Daily Star: "Contrary to what everyone thinks, the Antichrist does not come from Europe and should manifest itself fully between the years 2023 and 2026, according to Kabbalah studies.
"Although the holy books consider the Antichrist a being, this does not mean that he will materialise in one person. In fact, the antichrist is already ready and moving."
The seer explains that this is not a prediction, but the concretisation of a world reality, linked to a new currency.
"Who knows, maybe it will emerge between Russia and China?," he adds. "But bringing down the dollar won't be easy."
Athos warned: "I wouldn't want to despair cryptocurrency investors, but a glitch or something systematic could happen and will cause thousands of investors to lose a lot.
"Whether they will continue or not is a matter of luck and power. But the world government will do everything to have ownership of them."
