Is Obama THE Antichrist?

[Yawn]

He certainly is in the spirit of AN Antichrist, but he is not THE Antichrist prophesied.

About one in four Americans suspect that President Barack Obama might be the antichrist, more than a third believe that global warming is a hoax

Oh yeah.... Global Warming IS a hoax.

LOL, I read it three time to realize it didn't say Anarchist.
But when you think about it, he is.

Politics aside, when one in four surveyed Americans claim that they believe or might believe that the president of the United States is the anti-Christ...

Houston, we have a problem...

I guess that explains why a sizable swath of evangelicals did not vote.  If they truly felt he was the AntiChrist, they would have felt that they were voting against God's plan if they voted against Obama.

I dont think he is..
Maybe anti-competent lol

[kramarat]

No way.

His approval ratings would be higher; plus, he has never had an original thought.

An arrogant pawn in the grand scheme of evil? Probably.

well, as I understand it the world is coming closer to what the bible describes as the closing in on the second coming with murderous abortion, totalitarianism, desecration of God's way and the rising persecution of christians, then again Israel is supposed to be secure and prosperous right before the second coming and the Temple of Solomon rebuilt. Israel has good GDP but I would not say it is secure, and even though I would want to see the reconstruction of the temple in my lifetime I highly doubt it.

But I'm so happy to live in a time where Israel has been ressurected, as the prophecy foretold 

As for when the actual antichrist comes only God knows, and it does not concern me in the slightest. What does concern me is that my children will most likely experience persecution for their faith.

I think a few million votes disappeared in the boxes.
Everywhere O went, there was lack of enthusiasm this time around.
On voting day, every report I heard was massive turnout.
Totally different picture than the results show.

Yes. It's still a mystery to me. Romney had crowds 10 times the size of Obama's so there was enthusiasm, yet we're told "we" didn't show up.  I've never heard a reasonable explanation. On thing I know. Obama is the most CORRUPT man to ever sit in the White House.

It is my understanding that the New Testament is rather vague about who, or what the "Antichrist" is. This probably explains why people from Pope John XV to Adolf Hitler have been accused of being the "Antichrist".

A couple of John's epistles talk of an antichrist, but IIRC they word is used more to identify proponents of ideologies which oppose Christian teaching. In that case, it would mean that antichrist is more of a label for a group of people rather than an identification of a single person.

Paul speaking to the Thessalonians, told of a False Prophet which has been linked to the "Beast" in Revelations, but I don't think he used the word "Antichrist". I might be wrong though...

Obama is real enough and malevolent enough that we really don't need to supernatural powers to him. Any superstitions we associate him with will only works in his favor.

I've pondered about whether the antichrist could be socialism itself. As we watch more and more humans get sucked into the welfare state and become completely content with doing absolutely nothing, it kind of makes sense. Combine that with the steady downgrading of morality, and it really starts to make sense.  But I could be completely wrong on that too.
It would be kind of ironic if everyone was on the lookout for a human antichrist, while in fact, the antichrist was here and gaining strength, (in plain sight), the entire time.

The Anti-Christ is a person. He is pictured as a christ figure with a bow and arrow while Christ is pictured with a sword.  The antichrist is thrown into the Lake of Fire along with the False Prophet at His return with the saints (not saints as Catholics understand "saints"). The antichrist is a political Beast of Revelation. The False Prophet is the one who gives him his power because he (the False prophet) has authority over the "christian" world.

The one thing that I know for sure, is that I will never be able to claim that I "know" God's plan. The Bible may have come from God, but it was written by, (imperfect), humans.

I usually do not comment on religeous matters, but this post caught my attention. If one reads both the Old And New testaments God is portrayed quite differently. In the Old the writings are of a vengeful God in some instances. However, in the New, he is portayed as a totally loving God. God did not change, the views of the authors are different.

Correct. I feel God's presence in my life, but I would never attempt to tell others that my personal understanding of God is the only way there is.

I also think that the notion of Obama being the antichrist is ridiculous. The antichrist would be fixing our economy, creating jobs, and be universally loved as the great fixer of everything. Obama has only compounded our problems while adding new ones like Obamacare.

This a guess on my part, but I also suspect that the antichrist won't be a coward. Obama is a coward that won't take ownership of his damage, and therefore, is disqualified. I think the antichrist will come across as strong...........and that's not Obama.
