There's "feelings" that people can get which I can see being attributed to neurons misfiring, and then there are more than feelings when you have a dream where later on you experience down to each and every word. Perhaps whoever was the first to prophesize about the AntiChrist could not differentiate between his own dogma and what he saw, but DID see a very corrupt leader nontheless.
According to Scripture, there will be a leader during the "End Times", that will be corrupted and will pretend to care about his people at first but only to reveal his true colors at a later time. He will be liked and respected by many and will be well spoken.
Let's take a look at Barack Hussein Osama.
Well liked? Check.
Well spoken? Check.
Hmmm, that's only 2 checks, maybe just a coincidence? Yeah, maybe. Let's also look at his pastor. For knowing Jeremiah Wright for as long as he has, it would be a stretch to say he was unaware of his pastor's beliefs. Would it be a stretch to say Obama is racist too?
"Well....." some would say.
Alright. Let me also throw this at you. The man who is running to be the President of The United States of America decided he didn't want to put his hand over his heart during the country's National Anthem. Bit disrespectful, no? Some go as far as claiming he's a Muslim(nothing would be wrong with that per se, for the record).
Now the AntiChrist is said to be a leader, so to be honest I don't think Barack Osama winning the election is necessarily needed to be the AntiChrist.
Again, I don't actually believe this to be true 100%, but as the title says, IF there is an AntiChrist, I feel Obama is him. | Extrapolating anything from biblical revelations is a stretch. You are correct that there were many accurate prophecies, Edgar Cayce comes to mind, however, revelation was one big symbolic hallucination of beasts and broken seals etc. I remember when people thought that ronald reagan was the antichrist because his name: Ronald Wilson Reagan, had 6 letters in each name, hence 666 the number of the beast. IMO, the controversial stuff about obama, though interesting, hardly equates to the antichrist. Politicians will always be controversial no matter who it is. I personally wanted to see Ron Paul win but such is life. |
