So Barack Obama is the Antichrist. I myself, am quite relieved, although surprised that it didn’t turn out to be Oprah. Let’s face it, the world is in a pretty bad state. The environment, the economy and human nature are all in a state of degeneration and regression. I am pretty much embarrassed to call myself a member of the human race. People are getting crazier by the second. From the Australian father of three involved in a custody battle, who threw his four-year-old daughter over the side of a bridge to the psychotic mob stampede that killed a Wal-mart employee on sale day. Nevermind wars, greedy bankers, poverty, oppression, rape murder and pillage. And global warming is going to get us sooner rather than later. With the planet and its occupants facing their imminent doom I say “Welcome Mr Antichrist Sir”.
This news flash comes from an individual who prefers to be known as Mr Anonymous Coward. He has proof that Mr Obama is without a doubt the devil incarnate based on the following four facts (excerpts taken from Mr Coward’s forum): a) “the NOI prophesied the final muhommed (a muslim) would come into the world from the union of a white female and black male based on their interpretation of the story of Mary Magdelin and Jesus Christ; being white and black respective. Obama fulfills this.” b) “Obama hails from chicago whose zipcode is 60606 (do you see the three sixes ?)”, c) “Obama would be a “black” president in the “white” house (satan is described as black in attribute and who seeks to take over the white mansion known as heaven).” and d) “Obama’s first name is JEWISH! which means blessed [baruch]“. While you contemplate the interesting language choice of this revolutionary, consider the depth of insight inherent in his argument. Mr Coward has so astutely connected the colour of Jesus Christ – Satan – and Mr Obama, just as he has connected “Mary Magdelin” (aka Mary Magdalene)- the white house/heaven – and Obama. Good use of the lateral thinking tool. Then he has (I don’t know why I didn’t see this before) recognised the meaning of Barack/Baruch, meaning “blessed” in Hebrew, as a clear pointer to the Antichrist. I wonder what Mr Coward thinks of Jesus. Jesus is the King of the Jews and although the name Jesus is of Greek origin, it is derived from the name Joshua which is of Hebrew and Aramaic origin, and means saviour. Sinister. Very sinister. I can almost see the wheels turning in Mr Coward’s brain. And lastly the brilliance of the three sixes deduction. Woe to anyone who has the triple six in his/her phone number, pin code or birth date.
To call somebody the Antichrist is a serious accusation. There are loads of Antichrist conspiracy theories out there, perhaps with varying degrees of truth and lunacy. It is easy to slander somebody’s name for the sake of political gain or as a personal attack. Here are 27 characteristics of the Antichrist, with biblical accountability – quoted from the EadsHome Ministries website:
1. He comes from among ten kings in the restored Roman Empire; his authority will have similarities to the ancient Babylonians, Persians, and Greeks [Daniel 7:24; Rev 13:2 / Daniel 7:7]
2. He will subdue three kings [Daniel 7:8, 24]
3. He is different from the other kings [Daniel 7:24]
4. He will rise from obscurity…a “little horn” [Daniel 7:8]
5. He will speak boastfully [Daniel 7:8; Rev 13:5]
6. He will blaspheme God, [Daniel 7:25; 11:36; Rev 13:5] slandering His Name, dwelling place, and departed Christians and Old Testament saints [Rev 13:6]
7. He will oppress the saints and be successful for 3 ½ years [Daniel 7:25; Rev 13:7]
8. He will try to change the calendar, perhaps to define a new era, related to himself [Daniel 7:25]
9. He will try to change the laws, perhaps to gain an advantage for his new kingdom and era
[Dan 7:25]
10. He will not be succeeded by another earthly ruler, but by Christ [Daniel 7:26-27]
11. He will confirm a covenant with “many”, i.e. the Jewish people [Daniel 9:27]
This covenant will likely involve the establishment of a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem
[see Dan 9:27; Matt 24:15]
12. He will put an end to Jewish sacrifice and offerings after 3 ½ years and will set up an abomination to God in the Temple [Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15]
13. He will not answer to a higher earthly authority; “He will do as he pleases”[Daniel 11:36]
14. He will show no regard for the religion of his ancestors [Daniel 11:37]
15. He will not believe in any god at all [except for himself] [Daniel 11:37]
16. He will have “no regard for the desire of women”: He will either be asexual or homosexual
[Dan 11:37]
17. He will claim to be greater than any god [Daniel 11:37; 2 Thess 2:4]
18. He will claim to be God [2 Thessalonians 2:4]
19. He will only honor a “god” of the military. His whole focus and attention will be on his military. He will conquer lands and distribute them [Daniel 11:39-44]
20. His arrival on the world scene will be accompanied by miracles, signs and wonders [2 Thess 2:9]
21. Either he, or his companion [The False Prophet], will claim to be Christ [Matt 24:21-28]
22. He will claim that Jesus did not come in the flesh, or that Jesus did not rise bodily from the grave
[2 John 7]. He will deny that Jesus is the Messiah [I John 2:22]
23. He will be worshiped by many people [Rev. 13:8]
24. He will hate a nation that initially will have some control over his kingdom, but he will destroy this nation [Rev 17:16-18]
25. He will appear to survive a fatal injury [Rev. 13:3; 17:8]
26. His name will be related to the number six hundred and sixty six—but not necessarily in an obvious fashion [Rev 13:17-18].
27. He will be empowered by the devil himself [Rev. 13:2]
Pastor Rick Warren, well known in the Christian community for his devotional book The Purpose Driven Life, was invited by Mr Obama to conduct the opening prayer of his inauguration ceremony. Mr Warren concluded his prayer with “I humbly ask this in the name of the one who changed my life – Yeshua, Isa, Jesύs, Jesus – who taught us to pray.” This proclaims Jesus Christ as God and Lord over all. Not very inclusive, and thus a poignant statement made by the president who proclaims his Christianity. Either Obama is playing a deadly game…or he isn’t. It remains to be seen.
Sweet!
