Obama: "the world as it is" v. "the world as it should be"

Date: Oct 9, 2009





Growing Evidence Amazes Students of Prophecy
Barack Hussein Obama North American president has several problems that could in the end identify him as the Ant-christ. Conspiracy theorists say he was not qualified to be president because he was born outside of the United States. He misspoke his oath of office having because it was not on his teleprompter. Conservatives of every party do not trust him because his entire resume is limited to school, [B.A. Columbia: International Relations which redefines "the world as it is" v. "the world as it should be"]. His degree taught Obama to redefine reality as evolving from what we were as a primitive constitutional republic based on the historic Judeo God into a form of Marxism that will benefit the ,most people economically.














Obama’s Work as a one half term as a US Senator, and running for office. Even though he is only in office for a few months we see him as coming into office as an almost messianic fervor that might match Anti-christ’s early days.

Second his exposure to the middle east shows a record against the nation of Israel even though when he ran for office he claimed a high view of the state of Israel.

Third he seems to be energized by a dangerous level of Marxism which is historically tied to tyranny never liberty.

Fourth he seems to already showing a high view of the United States coming under a global government yielding things like our historic Bill of Rights.

Fifth he already is evidencing a high view for Islam bowing before important leaders while shunning Israel. Sixth he already has a low view of protecting the United States against global Jihad.

Sixth we see him already being defined as “Obama the Man of Peace” when after just a few months in office he was awarded “The Nobel Peace Prize” His acceptance speech was given while preaching peace at a gay church celebrate gay rights day in America. http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/dpgo_obama_nobel_peace_prize_lwf_20091009_3959655 10/10/2009 10:22 AM.

I PLEDGE TO FOLLOW OBAMA ~ Would Anti-christ Require Such a Pledge?




A: Antichrist will possess a number of characteristics. These include "sitting in the temple", opposing himself against anything that is worshiped, claiming divine authority, working all kinds of counterfeit miracles and signs, and doing all kinds of evil. Paul notes that "the mystery of lawlessness"(though not the Man of Sin himself) was working in secret already during his day and will continue to function until being destroyed on the Last Day. His identity is to be revealed after that which is restraining him is removed.

A: Daniel 9:27 mentions an "abomination that causes desolations" setting itself up in a "wing" or a "pinnacle" of the temple. Some scholars interpret this as referring to the Antichrist. Some commentators also view the verses prior to this as referring to the Antichrist. Jesus refers to the references about abomination from Daniel 9:27, 11:31, and 12:11 in Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14 when he warns about the destruction of Jerusalem. Daniel 11:36-37 speaks of a self exalting king, considered by some to be the Antichrist.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antichrist 9/3/2009 3:55 PM.

Harmony Anti-christ Daniel ~ Paul ~ John the Apostle

Anti-Christ’s Period

Daniel 603 B.C.

Paul A.D. 52

John A.D. 96

Dan 11:36-12:3

36. "Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will speak monstrous things against the God of gods; and he will prosper until the indignation is finished, for that which is decreed will be done.

37. "He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the desire of women, nor will he show regard for any {other} god; for he will magnify himself above {them} all.

38. "But instead he will honor a god of fortresses, a god whom his fathers did not know; he will honor {him} with gold, silver, costly stones and treasures.

39. "He will take action against the strongest of fortresses with {the help of} a foreign god; he will give great honor to those who acknowledge {him} and will cause them to rule over the many, and will parcel out land for a price.

40. "At the end time the king of the South will collide with him, and the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, with horsemen and with many ships; and he will enter countries, overflow {them} and pass through.

41. "He will also enter the Beautiful Land, and many {countries} will fall; but these will be rescued out of his hand: Edom, Moab and the foremost of the sons of Ammon.

42. "Then he will stretch out his hand against {other} countries, and the land of Egypt will not escape.

43. "But he will gain control over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the precious things of Egypt; and Libyans and Ethiopians {will follow} at his heels.

44. "But rumors from the East and from the North will disturb him, and he will go forth with great wrath to destroy and annihilate many.

45. "He will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful Holy Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

CHAPTER 12

1. "Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands {guard} over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.

2. "Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace {and} everlasting contempt.

3. "Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. (NAU)

2 Thes 2:3-10

3. Let no one in any way deceive you, for {it will not come} unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

4. who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

5. Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?

6. And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

7. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains {will do so} until he is taken out of the way.

8. Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;

9. {that is} the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,

10. and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. (NAU)

Rev 13:1-10

1. And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns {were} ten diadems, and on his heads {were} blasphemous names.

2. And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like {those} of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.

3. {I saw} one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed {and followed} after the beast;

4. they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?"

5. There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him.

6. And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, {that is} those who dwell in heaven.

7. It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.

8. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, {everyone} whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain.

9. If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

10. If anyone {is destined} for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints. (NAU)

Willmington: What Will Anti-christ's 7 Years Be Like?


Olivet Discourse Notes:
A. The Great Tribulation — what it is (Mat 24:1-4, 6-13, 16b-22)

1. God himself will lay waste to the entire earth (24:1): The earth will become a great wasteland, and the people will be scattered.

2. All people and fallen angels will be judged (24:2-4,21-22): No one will be spared from God's wrath, and the fallen angels will be put in prison.

3. Very few will survive (24:6): A curse will consume the earth and its people, who will be destroyed by fire.

4. Happiness will no longer exist (24:7-13): All joy in life will be gone.

5. Evil and treachery will be everywhere (24:16b-18): People possessed by sheer terror will flee from one danger only to be confronted with something even more horrifying.

6. The earth will stagger like a drunkard (24:19-20): It will fall and collapse like a tent, unable to rise again because of the weight of its sin


B. The Great Tribulation — why it occurs (24:5): Humanity has twisted the laws of God and has broken his holy commands.

7. Future Obama Fervor Will Ses Up His Image Jerusalem Temple?


Seventh after Anti-christ comes out of the closet at about his 3rd year he will set aside all world religions including Islam because he will then be forcing the entire world to worship him. Paul says he will set up an image of the beast inside the holy of holies of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem 2 Thess 2:3-4.

Get Stoked Notes: As a pre-Tribulationist, I personally have no plans to meet this "son of perdition." Only those who have not repented of their sins and are not living pure lives should expect to meet him personally, or more likely, see him on Larry King. [1]

6. Obama's Fervor Protecting Islam

enche


Sixth his fervor to set aside the state of Israel will cause him to align himself with conservative forms of Islam who are dedicated with forms of Jihad who hate both Israel and their supporters.

Obama’s Pro-Islam Feror: recent 3rd Jihad data show a wide spread threat President Obama seems to be in denial about in a very dangerous way.

Jewish Press June 24: Mr. Obama has come under increasing criticism for his tepid response to the violence. It took him eight days to issue a clear statement of support for the millions of people demonstrating throughout Iran, at obvious risk to their lives. On Sunday he warned Ayatollah Khamenei and President Ahmadinejad that "the world is watching. If the Iranian government seeks the respect of the international community, it must respect the dignity of its own people and govern through consent, not coercion."

Jewish Press June 24: President Obama is caught on the horns of a major dilemma. Yes, he has to take care not to be seen as interfering in the internal affairs of another country. But the violent reaction of the Iranian authorities to the demonstrators shows what they are capable of and that they question their hold on the support of the majority of Iranians. Why else would they feel the need to clamp down to suppress the protests?

Jewish Press June 24: Mr. Obama has long said he wants to end what he's characterized as cynical and unprincipled policies pursued by previous administrations. It would behoove him, then, to go beyond merely deploring the violence. Simple rhetoric means nothing to the mullahs who doubtless now see themselves in a life and death struggle to maintain their power. But a foursquare expression of support for the demonstrators might encourage even more Iranians to join the masses of their countrymen already on the ramparts.[1]

5. Obama's Secret Anti-Israel Fervor


Obama rejects the factual literal

3,500 years of Jewish history in the land of Israel

Fifth his fervor will include a distinct anti-Israel element which Paul the apostle said he might hide this at first until half way through his 7 year period.

Obama’s Anti-Israel Fervor: a Google search results in over 37,000 hits on the association. Have American Jews abandoned Israel in favor of President Obama? This is a central question in the minds of Israelis today. [Carlyn Glick 24 June 2009] The Obama administration has refused to budge in its hard-line demand that Israel end all Jewish building in north, south, and east Jerusalem as well as in Judea and Samaria.

Jewish Press June 24: President Obama is casting Israel in the classic Jewish role of scapegoat, blaming it for all the region's problems. President Obama has embraced the State Department's historical negativity toward Israel and, with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leading the way, is making demands about Israeli "settlements" that are harsh and uncompromising.

Obama’s State Department ignores Arab illegal construction that is occurring on a much wider and broader scale. State conveniently ignores the fact that if land were truly the issue, Israel and its Arab neighbors would have been at peace for the last 60 years. Obama’s resulting bullying of Israel by the U.S. is without parallel in American-Israeli relations.

Q: How has Obama managed to maintain American Jewish support despite his unprecedented new unpopularity in Israel?

A: obviously they are drinking kool-aid from Obama’s new state media that includes ABC, CBS, NBC and MSNBC.

Caroline Glick is senior contributing editor at The Jerusalem Post. Her Jewish Press-exclusive column appears the last week of each month. Her book "The Shackled Warrior: Israel and the Global Jihad,"

4. Obama's Fervor toward "One World Government"


Fourth all passages defining Anti-christ define his fervor as being toward a one word government [setting aside things like the U.S. Bill of Rights].

One World Government Fervor: We already are seeing public opinion is engineered toward final acceptance of the international subordination. It is early but we see among the mainstream media a state media that never challenges Obama with truth. Many Democrats view the election of US President Barack Hussein Obama, the ‘President of the world’ according to news services around the planet.

Most conservative Christians have been surprised at the way Obama does not appear to be the “man of faith” he ran as. Instead we see apparently appearing as a man energized by the same human spirit Satan energized in the Garden of Eden. This can be dangerous if not fought off by powerful people in the most powerful nation on earth. This dangerous energy source continues today among human agents of dark power who guard a privileged “cause and effect” relationship between diabolical forces and the opportunity for lordship over societies.

It is early still but Obama seems to be rewarding bankrupt utopian thinking. This is the same twisted energy Satan offered to Jesus all the power and glory of the kingdoms of this world. He said, “All this power [control] will I give thee, and the glory of them [earthly cities]: for that is delivered unto me: and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine” (Luke 4:6-7).


3. Obama's Fervor toward Facism or Marxism


Third his fervor will sound either Marxist or fascist as his plea for unity will be associated with the way he combines business and wealth into his brave new government.

Marxist Fervor: Most conservative Americans of all political parties were shocked when they saw communist flags [hammer / cycle] flying as he took office.

Obama appealed to the increasingly disenfranchised voters among American society by playing on their understandable fears in order to posture himself as the essential agent of change. Everyone was surprised when he threw the CEO of G.M. out the window of Airforce 1.

So far domestic politics and taxpayer funded investment economics are being largely decided by a privileged cadre of members of his own party who all seem to be dedicated to a New World Order and One World Government.

2. Obama's Fervor Against Bill of Rights Rise Tyranny


Second his personal fervor includes a winsome appeal at first to follow him as a tyrant.

Marxist Fervor: Most conservative Americans of all political parties were shocked when they saw communist flags [hammer / cycle] flying as he took office.

Barack Hussein Obama's Problems Already


1. Obama's Messianic fervor identified

Most Christians were surprised by the messianic fervor surrounding his election as 44th president of the United States. This granted Obama by euphoric crowds on election night remains to be prophetic, the glorified ideal behind it reflects the global hunger for, and movement toward, the arrival of ‘the one’ who represents the invisible agencies mentioned above and who, for a while, will appear to be the world’s answer man.

CNN went so far as to compare Obama’s inauguration to the Hajj—the journey by Muslims to the holy city of Mecca, an obligatory pilgrimage that demonstrates their dedication to Allah.

Chris Matthews, MSNBC: “This is bigger than Kennedy. . . . This is the New Testament! I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don’t have that too often. No, seriously. It’s a dramatic event.”

Dinesh Sharma, a marketing science consultant with a PhD in Psychology from Harvard appraised Obama likewise: “Many… see in Obama a messiah-like figure, a great soul, and some affectionately call him Mahatma Obama.”

Mark Morford San Francisco Chronicle: characterized it as “a sort of powerful luminosity.”

Harvard University: Dinesh Sharma, a marketing science consultant with a PhD in Psychology from Harvard appraised Obama likewise: “Many… see in Obama a messiah-like figure, a great soul, and some affectionately call him Mahatma Obama.”

New York Times: “Obama was… blessed and highly favored…I think that… his election… was divinely ordered… I’m a preacher and a pastor; I know that that was God’s plan… I think he is being used for some purpose.” Janny Scott, New York Times

Rep. Jesse Jackson: “The event itself is so extraordinary that another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle its significance.” Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Politico

Randall Balmer Columbia University: Will Obama become the superhuman superstar the world has been waiting for? If symbolic gestures are any indication, there certainly were plenty of religious folks during his march into the White House that thought he was or that at least he was a forerunner of ‘The One.’ Dozens of churches and faith groups including mainline Protestants organized activities to mark Obama’s inauguration as a ‘spiritual’ event. Randall Balmer, professor of religion in American history at Columbia University admitted he had never seen anything like it before.

7 Criteria Defining Anti-christ

Anyone Showing up as Anti-christ must have the following criteria following his life:

1. Messianic Fervor will energize him

2. Antic-christ's ferveor will include a winsome appeal to follow him like a tyrant.

3. His fervor will sound marxist or fascist as his plea is to combine business and wealth into his brave new government.

4. All passages defining his fervor says it must have a strong appeal for a global, one world government [setting aside things like our Bill of Rights]. http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=F.2a6348af-1434-42f0-bbc0-af8ae726c390&hl=en

5. His fervor will include a distinct anti-Israel element although Paul says he will hide this in the beginning.

6. His fervor will in his fervor to set aside the State of Israel align itself with conservative wings of Islam such as governments dedicated to Jihad. http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=F.96664b26-a7f8-4450-8c60-349e6c122174&hl=en

7. Later after he comes out of the closet as a world leader his favor of Islam and all global religions will falter as he forces the entire world to actively worship him.

Anti-christ's Unique Link to the Middle East

Q: Is it safe to try to spot the person of Anti-christ by searching our newspapers and Bible?

A: If the Antichrist is already here we will see him busy working on a very deceptive treaty with the nation of Irael Dan 9:17 that he will break and suddenly begin persecuting Israel Dan 7:25 even as Paul predicted will establish worship at their temple in Jerusalem 2 Thess 2:3-4.

A: Walvoor’s Notes: Mt 24:9-14 (Mk 13:9-13; Lk 21:12-19). Jesus began His words (Mt 24:9) with a time word, Then. At the middle point of the seven-year period preceding Christ's second coming, great distress will begin to be experienced by Israel. The Antichrist, who will have risen to power in the world and will have made a protective treaty with Israel, will break his agreement at that time (Da 9:27). He will bring great persecution on Israel (Da 7:25) and even establish his own center of worship in the temple in Jerusalem (2Th 2:3-4). This will result in the death of many Jews (Mt 24:9) and many people departing from the faith. Believing Jews will be betrayed by nonbelievers (v. 10), and many will be deceived by rising false prophets (cf. v. 5; Rv 13:11-15). Wickedness will increase, causing the love of most people (for the Lord) to grow cold.

Prophetic Time Zone Unique for Anti-christ

Obviously he cannot be revealed before the Nation of Israel is restored to its place as a nation in Palestine. When we study the volume of material about Anti-christ we learn there must be an interval of time between the rapture of the church and his appearing.

Most scholars of prophecy believe we will barely miss Anti-christ because he cannot show up prior to the exit of the Restrainer of evil 2 Thess 2:3-9.

Q: what will be going on during that interval after the rapture?

A: the church in heaven will not be sitting around on clouds but being very busy. In the first 3 years we see 2 Cor 5:10 introduce the “Judgment Seat of Christ.” Saved humans in heaven will be judged for every action they ever made as believers.

A: this is further evidenced in Rev 4:1-5 to 5:14 as we see very busy church elders working around God’s throne fulfilling His Purposes. For them to be there in that setting at the beginning of Revelation evidences they were previously raptured. They were obviously enjoying part of their reward prior to the Great Tribulation.

A: the coming of Christ for His Bride must take place before His Second Coming because everywhere we see His church going back to earth with Him at the Second Coming at the wedding feast Rev 19:7-10.

A: the heavenly church must have already been judged and ready for use because right after the Second Coming we see Jesus’ Church helping judge the gentiles Mt 25:31-46.

List of Previous Leaders People Mistook for Anti-christ


Source: http://www.raptureready.com/rr-antichrist.html 6/29/2009 9:14 AM.
Q: is it safe to use the newspaper in one hand and your Bible in the other when we try and understand how Bible prophecy applies today?
A: a Google search with my title Obama and anti-christ yielded about 9.5 million hits.
A: anyone doing a study like that will fall into the same error as earlier prophecy nuts.

List with Previous Mistakes

Antiochus Epiphanes He was one of only a few pre-Christ candidates and is described by scholars as being a type of Antichrist. Epiphanes was predicted by Daniel the prophet, and he fulfilled many of the prophecies that the real Antichrist will repeat.

Roman Emperor Nero He was one of the first and one of the greatest persons to fit the role of Antichrist. He put many Christians to death, and even killed members of his own family. Nero's actions actually helped the Church to multiply faster. When he learned the Roman Senate was plotting against him, he died by poisoning himself.

The Pope Just about every pope has been given the title of Antichrist. The pontiff is a favorite among evangelicals. During the Middle Ages, when the power of the pope was more pronounced, the title was more plausible. Today, the political power of the Pope has long since waned. It's more likely the pope would play the role of the False Prophet.

Charlemagne He lived from 742-814 AD and controlled much of Central Europe. Charlemagne put himself into the shoes of the Antichrist by trying to rebuild the Roman Empire, a task that only the real Antichrist will accomplish. He died before achieving his goal.

Napoleon The self-crowned French Emperor was not particularly a depraved man: He did not persecute the Church, and he lacked a number of the qualities needed for the role. His downfall was that he loved war too much. Napoleon, like Charlemagne, worked at reviving the Roman Empire.

Aleister Crowley He was a male witch who lived in England from 1875 to 1947, and who was so evil that his nicknames were "the Beast" and "666." A number of rock and roll groups such as The Beatles, The Doors and Ozzy Osbourne featured references to him on their albums.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt The numerical value of FDR's name was reported to add up to 666. Because of the Great Depression, FDR was the most autocratic US President of the 20th century. Roosevelt was in office for 12 years.

Benito Mussolini Because Mussolini became the dictator of Italy, the original capital of the Roman Empire, he was the subject of a great deal of commentary during his rule from 1922 to 1943. His extreme arrogance fit the role of Antichrist, but his military capabilities were laughable. Italy needed help from Germany all throughout World War II.

Adolf Hitler Most people would describe this man as the most villainous man who ever lived. He remains a demonic forewarning of what the real Antichrist will be like.

Joseph Stalin This Russian dictator is believed to be the greatest mass murderer of all time, having killed 30 million people. Most of history's tyrants killed foreigners; Stalin specialized in killing his own citizens.

Francisco Franco He was the dictator of Spain from 1936 until his death in 1975. Franco was called the Antichrist not because of his actions, but more because of a genealogical connection. Upon his death, the dubious honor of being called the Antichrist passed to Prince Juan Carlos.

John F. Kennedy As the nation's first Roman Catholic President, John F. Kennedy was believed to do the pope's bidding. At the 1956 Democratic convention, he received 666 votes. When Kennedy was shot dead in Dallas, several people waited for this deadly wound to heal. It never happened.

Henry Kissinger Because of Mr. Kissinger's activity in the Middle East, he was labeled the Antichrist. I've always thought his raspy voice would be the first thing to disqualify him.
King Juan Carlos of Spain The late prophecy teacher Charles Taylor was a big proponent of the idea that Juan Carlos is the Antichrist because of his bloodline and because he's the king of the tenth nation to join the European Union.

Ayatollah Khomeini One of the grumpiest men to ever live, he bedeviled the US for a number of years.

Ronald Wilson Reagan Say it isn't so, Ron. During the 80s when he was President, there was talk going around about the fact that he had six letters in all three of his names.

Mikhail Gorbachev The first Russian leader to support the rights of the people has been and remains a candidate for the job of Antichrist. Until Gorby dies, prophecy watchers will keep an eye on him. I guess being born with that mark on his head was too obvious for some.
Maitreya A camera-shy New Age personage, who is said to be on this earth somewhere, is waiting for his opportunity to save the world.

Sun Myung Moon This leader of the Unification Church openly claims to be the Messiah. Moon recently was sent to jail for tax evasion. Jesus, by having a tax collector on His staff, didn't suffer from tax problems. You pick which one was the smarter Messiah.

PLO leader Yassir Arafat When Arafat signed the peace treaty with Israel in 1993, some thought that he was bringing to pass the prophecy regarding the Antichrist signing a seven-year peace treaty with Israel. In order for this to be the case, we would be well into the tribulation period.

Louis Farrakhan Farrakhan has worked hard to earn the title of Antichrist: He has met with every Islamic dictator there is, and he's called the Jewish faith "a gutter religion." Farrakhan has said that Jesus was "just a prophet" and that he, Louis Farrakhan, is the true Jesus.

Karl Hapsburg JJust like Juan Carlos, Karl Hapsburg has a good shot at being the Antichrist simply because of who he is. His family holds the title of ruler over Jerusalem. The Hapsburg family also reigned over the Holy Roman Empire at one time. The European Union will be a revival of the Roman Empire.

William Jefferson Clinton A number of folks have e-mailed me saying, "Clinton is Satan's pet." I came across information posted in newsgroups and websites that add up William Jefferson Clinton numerologically to total 666.

Sam Donaldson of ABC News So many people have submitted Donaldson's name that I finally decided to add him to the list. By including Sam, I hope I don't cause any jealousy at ABC News.
Bill Gates If the beast needs to be computer literate and financially well-off, then Bill Gates is a good candidate.

Prince Charles of Wales I'm told that "old big ears" Prince Charles could be the beast. Charles has had the familiar numerology claims made about him--ones that equate his name with 666. Further, he is believed to have ancestral links to the Roman Empire. It was also reported to me that he's a vegetarian, which could explain why the Antichrist will stop the daily animal sacrifices in the Jewish Temple.

Jacques Chirac French President Jacques Chirac has been involved in a flurry of diplomatic activity. His high profile has caught the attention of several prophecy watchers.

Barack Hussein Obama North American president has several problems that could in the end identify him as the Ant-christ. Conspiracy theorists say he was not qualified to be president because he was born outside of the United States. He misspoke his oath of office having because it was not on his teleprompter. Conservatives of every party do not trust him because his entire resume is limited to school, one half term as a US Senator, and running for office. Even though he is only in office for a few months we see him as coming into office as an almost messianic fervor that might match Anti-christ’s early days. Second his exposure to the middle east shows a record against the nation of Israel even though when he ran for office he claimed a high view of the state of Israel. Third he seems to be energized by a dangerous level of Marxism which is historically tied to tyranny never liberty. Fourth he seems to already showing a high view of the United States coming under a global government yielding things like our historic Bill of Rights. Fifth he already is evidencing a high view for Islam bowing before important leaders while shunning Israel. Sixth he already has a low view of protecting the United States against global Jihad.

Online Note: As a pre-Tribulationist, I personally have no plans to meet this "son of perdition." Only those who have not repented of their sins and are not living pure lives should expect to meet him personally, or more likely, see him on Larry King.
