Actually, that would be the ideal way for the antichrist to enter the world stage. If he entered in full Satanic regalia, he would scare the Judeo/Christian part of the world sh!tless and put his enemies on full alert.
Just sayin'...
You said — If he entered in full Satanic regalia, he would scare the Judeo/Christian part of the world sh!tless and put his enemies on full alert.

The Antichrist wouldn’t be entering upon the world scene as a “devil character” in any case. The Bible never presents him as entering that way. The entrance of Satan and his powers into the antichrist at the midpoint is a supernatural event, but it doesn’t make him “look” or appear like the devil. And as we have seen from what the Bible says, the devil appears as an angel of light, and not as a scary figure, anyway...
But, in the beginning the Antichrist does have to be accepted by Europeans, by Muslims and by Israelis. I mean, he’s going to enforce an agreement between Israelis and Muslims, and he’s going to have the center of his power based out of a confederacy of Europeans countries.
Besides that, at the point the antichrist is “revealed” to the world, and then he does engage in that 7-year agreement with Israel — if Christians are still here seeing that, then they’ve missed the Rapture... LOL...
Anyway, I’m afraid that Obama just doesn’t have what it takes to be that kind of man to the Europeans, or the Israelis or the Muslims. He just doesn’t have what it takes.
