Barack Obama = Antichrist?

yes, I didnt mean to play down the importance of these figures, for we should always keep our eyes open to the signs (and the season!) But what I mean is, this world is so FLOODED with deceit and disinformation (as anyone on ATS should know) that the minute someone says anything (or posts/takes a pic/etc) it's there for the whole entire planet to see and comment on, which distorts everything. As Pilate said, "What is truth?" So I'm just saying, we shouldnt exert too much energy in chasing the antichrist...he and his kind will be revealed to those who God chooses to reveal it , and most won't believe anyway. The more we seek God, the more wisdom He will open up to us.
As far as "sin", yes we all sin; but even when I sin, I'm aware that God controls all things in my life, and if something good happens in my life, I praise God. If something "bad" happens in my life, I praise God, for His plan is bigger than me. These antichrists however, have no acknowledgement of God in regards to their failures/successes. All our successes are the result of "man's ingenuity", such-and-such law that was passed, such-and-such machine WE created that makes everyone's life better, etc. No acknowledgement of God whether good or bad. That is the spirit of antichrist. PRIDE is the spirit of Antichrist(s).

When I read that this IS the end times, I always wonder if every generation thought theirs was also.
WW1
WW2

What makes our generation so special ?
Is there not any hope left alive?

Yes! I believe in the bible, and love reading Revelations
but are you sure it is NOW?????

Why??

yeah, there's always gonna be a "Hal Lindsay" saying the end is nigh (ol' Hal said it would be by 1988 if I'm not mistaken) The gist of revelation is that it could be ANY time....to try and pin it to a specific date, year, etc. undermines the intent of scripture, which says to be prepared ALL the time ("like a theif in the night...") However, this doesnt mean we wont recognize the season. I personally am not out in the street on a soapbox, telling the world to repent, though I believe that some folks are called to do just that. I feel that if I continue to do God's will, i.e., helping others in need/loving my neighbor as myself, God will reveal to me the things I need to know about the Antichrist, end times, the beast, Barbara Streisand, whatever.

I should clarify that last sentence: As long as I do God's will for ME....we're all different members of the same body with different functions and different callings.

i've had the feeling he will be trouble...lord help me....

i said it a long time ago and i still feel strange when i see him... almost but not quite the same feelng as Busg.

I have this "gift" of seeing thru people...or a troubling gut feeling...
but i'm as serious as a heart attack....i hope i'm wrong.

The identity of the anti-Christ will not be known until he appears as himself to the world so really is it worth pondering?

Luxifero

you're right. i guess the main thing for me is our communication is now world wide. there's an obvious open channel for a new world order and single monetary system. so, unless we expand into the universe and the scope broadens or natural global disaster sets us back hundreds of years i'd say the time is approachin.

really? hmmm. that troubles me cuz i seem to like the guy.

what kind of healing powers are you talking about theres many ways to heal a person:
emotinally
psichologicaly
physically
spiritually
the thing is that a healer may not necessarily be a phisical healer but more of a spiritual healer which is what we need

yeah, right. that's what set jesus apart from all other healers....anyway, he's gotta have those super hero powers and raise people from the dead and such. we don't need dr. phil..know what i mean.

I have a hard time with the whole "raise from the dead" thing. I believe in re-incarnation, but to the same body? If "god" determines it's your time, then how can "god" put you back where you were, did you cliff-dive into a canyon or something?

I believe our spirit comes back to learn lessons we did not learn in this lifetime, but to come back after death for what purpose? Why die in the first place then?

really? i heard it happens in parts of africa these days. anybody else heard of it?

as for reincarnation i'd say it is possible. or it can be the fact that we all have a common genetic trait that flows linear through all of us and maybe just maybe memory's are passed down somehow?

Reaganero, I think you missed my point, which was I don't see how "god"/"Jesus" would raise us from the dead to inhabit our same celestial body, I.E.--you, now. If you died in 10 minutes, "jesus" would bring you back to do something else. If it was "his" plan, then wouldn't you stay dead, at least until you come back as someone else?

Second note -- Would you care to elaborate on this single genetic trait that we are all tied with?

what would a different body serve a purpose for if the same one could be reanimated. i don't want to turn into sybil. secondly jesus would probably raise you from the dead in the same body to be a witness to others. oh, and in revelations i think it mentions bodies raising from the dead in the end times?? i gotta look at that again

as for the genetic trait i'd say if you believe in evolution or creationism the human being is connected back to the first man and woman at some point. we're all brothers and sisters screwing eachother into a great populated world. so i'd say we'd all have to have something in our dna that links us physically. just a thought i guess.

other ideas could be that time itself is just a manmade concept and we can somehow drift in and out given unique situations. just look at the research done on lsd. i don't condone that drug use but it does free the mind of time. or maybe in dreams you have a bit of dimension jumping and experience the lives of others? we all know dreams can be so real you can't tell if you're awake or asleep.

maybe we should u2u this topic.

Although the "spirit of the antichrist" (1 John 4:3) has been around for a very long time, and there were relatively minor examples of antichrists long ago (1 John 2:18-19), the ultimate end-time antichrist, identified variously as the "lawless one" or "man of sin" (2 Thessalonians 2:9) or "beast" (all of Revelation 13) is going to be more evil and more incredibly powerful (made possible by That Old Serpent) than any human that has ever existed. In a way, he will be the embodiment of Satan himself because no one is more anti-Christ than Satan.

the mark of the beast will be literal enough to be an actual obvious choice that if you don't accept it on your hand or forehead it's gonna get chopped off. otherwise it's just another sin.

the mark of the beast is 616 not 666.
