Still, he would be one of the “many antichrists”. The way the press fawns over him indicates a malevolent power’s influence.

He is “an” antichrist. The last one will be “the” Antichrist.

Where?

In Daniel 11:21, there is a description of “a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom” who will “come in peaceably and obtain the kingdom by flatteries”.

Focusing on the person of Barack 0bama is a mistake.

Had Hillary Clinton been elected in 2008, exactly the same leadership would constitute the nomenklatura of the "progressive" state, exactly the same intellectual class would dominate the popular culture, and exactly the same enablers would populate the apparat, and exactly the same mindless drones would execute their orders regardless of its eventual consequences.

Almost seventy million people voted for Barack 0bama in 2008. Despite his incredible incompetence and the flailing stupidity of his administration and its allies, 65 million people returned to vote for him in 2012.

The problem is not Barack 0bama. The problem is your friends, your parents, your children, the strangers you pass on the street, and by no means are all of them beneficiaries of government largess. The problem, quite frankly is that too many people have lost the ability to think clearly and reason critically, and their feelings are all that one needs to appeal to in order to turn their shallow and self-destructive opinions.

We have the government we deserve. 0bama is a symptom. That is all.

“a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom” who will “come in peaceably and obtain the kingdom by flatteries”.

that description applies to every democratic senator and every republican senator bar a few exceptions

Per Wiki, Newton captained slave ships both before and after his Christian conversion.

He wrote a bedrock hymn but by today’s liberal “logic” Baraq had no business singing it.

Respectfully, I do not believe that Barack is THE antichrist. But I do believe the one that comes will certainly be like Barack Husssein Obama. First, here is why I disagree with your earlier comment...

The word "antichrist" combines two roots: αντί (anti) + Χριστός (Khristos). "Αντί" can mean not only "against" and "opposite of", but also "in place of". (See Strong's Bible Dictionary: αντί and the Lexicon to Pindar. Related terms as noted by the Catholic Encyclopedia include: antibasileus - a king who fills an interregnum; antistrategos - a propraetor; anthoupatos - a proconsul; antitheos - in Homer, one resembling a god in power and beauty (in other works it stands for a hostile god)).

Some of the Roman emperors were foreshadows of the antichrist, as were Herod, Simon Magnus, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, etc, however Daniel, Paul, and John were speaking of a future "antichrist" when they talked of the Beast who strikes a 7 year treaty with Israel, then in the middle (3.5 yrs), breaks the treaty enters the Jewish Temple proclaiming himself as God.

People saying Obama is not the Anti Christ only add to the proof that he is . Disguise is supposed to be his greatest power .

Most of the liberals in our country would say that it is your “White Privilege” that makes you a “wretch”. The sin you can never assuage...

The “anti” definition here does not mean acting on Christ’s behalf. It’s never used in terms of any of the apostles, for example.

And of course, Obama does not fit the description of a “king of fierce countenance” from Daniel 8:23. Nobody on the world stage takes him seriously.

The thing that frightens me is that I don’t believe Obama is the Antichrist. The real thing will be far more intelligent and far more energetic, but just as deceptive and evil. Obama alone is enough to destroy western civilization, and the real thing will be even worse.

He couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket.

That was the most disgusting display of a president that I have ever witnessed in my life!
