Is it possible that Barack Obama will be The Anti-Christ?
Barack Obama is very good looking, charming, extremely charismatic. he
seems so "good", unlike bill clinton.
he seems highly, highly intelligent, more so than any politition i've
ever seen. i am not everything about him fits the expected profile of
the antichrist, but what if some of those expectations are wrong?
most teachings on the anti-christ say he will come out of the european
union, the revived 'holy' roman empire, which could be the western
roman empire or the eastern roman empire, perhaps even the middle east
or the soviet union / russia. but almost nobody thinks the anti-
christ will come out of america.
Obama bothers me. not because he's black, or half-black. but
because he seems too 'perfect'.
Obama never mentioned anything about doing away with the Real ID Act,
which will force all American's to recieve a National ID Card, which
many prophecy teachers think is a major stepping stone to the mark of
the beast.
without the National ID Card, nobody will be able to hold a job, use
public transportation, have a bank account, etc.
how much buying & selling will we do if the National ID Card (or
whatever it will be called) is implemented ?
again, that guy bothers me.
I found this to be extremely interesting:

________________________________________________________________
The Spirituality of Barak Obama and Rick Warren
Barak Obama, the Senator who recently spoke at Saddleback Church, drew
criticism from many Christians because of his pro-abortion beliefs.
Rick
Warren defended his move to include Obama at the AIDS convention, and
while at first glance, it may look like the two men are at opposite
ends
of the pole when it comes to spiritual beliefs, in actuality, they
have
quite a bit in common.
In an article in United Church News, Obama stated that the teachings
of
the UCC (United Church of Christ), of which he is a member (Trinity
United
Church of Christ), are "foundation stones for his political work."
Just
what are those "teachings" comprised of? On Trinity's website, on the
Yoga
page, the following statement is highlighted:
Within each [of]us is the seed of Divinity. Each Soul is divine. I bow
to
the divinity in us all!
That is the spirituality of Thomas Merton! You may be asking right
now,
"How is this kind of affinity to yoga and panentheism similar to Rick
Warren's beliefs? After all, he's evangelical! Right." But Rick Warren
has
been and continues to promote Thomas Merton's contemplative
spirituality,
which has the same premise as that of yoga and panentheism - it's just
that what he promotes is disguised in Christian terminology so people
are
fooled.
It is interesting to note that on the Trinity Church of Christ
website, it
states: Rick Warren is "brilliant at explaining our real purpose on
earth."
Such a statement clearly shows that Obama's spiritual leaders at
Trinity
resonate with Rick Warren.
The United Church of Christ basically is an ultra liberal Christian
denomination that has focused on social justice and making the world
into
a better place. But in the process of their all emcompassing view that
anything positive is spiritually sound, many leaders within this group
have embraced or incorporated the teachings and practices of occultism
and
eastern religion. One such individual is Bruce Epperly, a United
Church of
Christ pastor, who wrote a book called Reiki Healing Touch and the Way
of
Jesus, in which Epperly says: We can utilize the practice of Reiki to
transform families, relationships, meetings, and institutions." Reiki,
as
you know, is drawn from Tibetan Buddhism and incorporates spirit
guides
and psychic powers. It is extremely likely that Obama has been exposed
to
things such as yoga or reiki.
Rick Warren and Barak Obama also share views on global peace and
world-wide unification. Obama, who was a speaker at the "Pentecost
2006:
Building a Covenant for a New America" conference, used "the speech as
a
call for continued dialogue and bridge-building between religious
conservatives and progressives." This "bridge-building" is the same
kind
of talk Rick Warren uses when he is discussing his "new reformation"
that
will include all religions, in which he states that he will do
"whatever
it takes" to accomplish it in his lifetime.
In Obama's address at Pentecost 2006, he talked about the "connection
between religion and politics." That is what Rick Warren talks about
with
his "three-legged stool" philosophy that government, religion and
business
have to work together if global peace is every going to happen. Herein
lies
another similiarity between Obama and Warren.
When New Ager and meditation promoter Marianne Williamson came to Rick
Warren's defense recently, she knew he shared the same vision as she.
That
vision, which is also Obama's, will eventually attempt to eliminate
opposition to this mystical-based new reformation. They will believe
they
have to in order for it to work.
We mustn't be fooled into thinking that Rick Warren is on a different
page
than Obama, just because their views on abortion differ. They have
found a
common ground, and it is one that is sinking sand.

I wasn't going to reply to this because the writing style was too much
like Bible John's, but I will reply to your comments:
Several flaws in your reasoning. First off, no-where is the Beast of
Revelation called the "anti-christ." Even though John is the only NT
author who used the term, "antichrist," he did not use it of the
Beast.
And John tells is that there were many "anti christs" even in his
time, is also identified by John as a former believer.
The word itself, in Greek, the prefix, "anti" means both "against" and
also "instead of." It carries the same idea of the "false christs"
that Jesus used in Matthew.
As to the Beast, it is the same endtime government depicted in
Daniel's vision. Essentially it is the endtime representation of the
Roman Empire which is depicted as two legs of clay and iron
(representing both strength and weakness). The two legs represent the
split Roman Empire with captials in Rome and Constantinople
(Istanbul). Ten toes, 10 is used in Scripture as a form of
completeness and also signifies that, by the time of the end, it is
geographically more seperated. The decendents of the Roman Empire now
reside throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the other foot
is in the Americas. The ten toes also suggest two groups of nations.
The Beast then, is the leader of these nations, although the 10 toes
and the iron and clay suggest that he isn't an all powerful leader.
Logically, the Beast is the "leader of the free world," whomever he
may be at the time.

There is and never was and never will be any such thing as "The AntiChrist"
referenced in the bible.
Try reading the bible.

There is no "The Anti-Christ" in scripture. Hence, no model.
Read the bible.
What is this, fictional fantasy land?
Correct.
There have been books written of the Beast and the leader.
The most interesting (but questionable) hypothesis I have seen is that "The
beast" was a huge, not "thinking" (in human terms) computer system that got
out of control, set up by the European Union.

I think it is your brain rotting and seeping out down your nasal passages
taking the same route they used in mummification processes in Ancient
Egypt
No, it's not possible. An angel appeared to me 10 minutes ago and
revealed that the Antichrist is ... Bill O'Reilly!
The idea of an "anti-Christ" -- at least as evidenced in the recent
"end times" hysteria -- is essentially Manichean, seeing the world as
divided into black and white, good and evil. This dualistic vision
sees an eternal struggle between the forces of light and the forces of
darkness.
If there's an anti-Christ, it follows that there's an anti-God of more
or less equal power as the true God, and able to contest with the true
God on a plausible basis.
Such ideas are the very antithesis of Orthodox Christianity.
No, it's not possible. An angel appeared to me 10 minutes ago and

He may be effective, but he's also mean and rude.

O'Reailly does have his moments, but for the most part is simply

Buckley, Will, and Buchanan are serious thinkers. However, they
represent different threads within conservatism. Pat Buchanan is more
of a populist; he's against economic globalization and foreign
military entanglements.

Here we heard that he attended a madrussa ( Muslim school ) .
Then some said that it was Hillary's Campaign spreading "rumors" .
One has to wonder about this fellow and guy he is so eager to make "peace"
