Under the influence of American fundamentalist Protestantism, many Orthodox Christians (ironically normally those Orthodox most vocal in their opposition to Protestantism) have developed something of an obsession with end-times prophecy and the identity of the antichrist, despite the very clear words of our Lord concerning the futility of such a pursuit, and devote endless hours to discussions about biometric passports, barcodes, the number of the beast, and other such things. The Synod in Resistance, a moderate group of so-called "Old Calendarists," have recently published an excellent document on this phenomenon which is well worth a read.
