I thought is was well written, and had me thinking by the end, what is this duality they keep showing with the kid in Syria, and this messiah guy? Could it be that we’ve all been dooped and the messiah is in fact the anti christ and the kid is the second coming but doesnt know it? It's possible neither know what they are, and there isn’t a higher power behind any of it. It just so happens that one of these two men will accomplish peace on earth, the other total distruction and chaos.
