Who's the anti-Christ? Don't we sorta need him in this deal?
Sometimes I wonder if OBL is him. The bible says the anti Christ will have a bad arm and a blind eye due to wounds during war. OBL has a bad arm and I don't know about his eyes. Maybe he will yet get a bad eye in another battle. Many Muslims already believe he is the messiah and Europe seems like it is not far behind. Just wondering not putting this out as fact, at least not yet.
What makes you think the anti-Christ will be a man? I'm guessing it's a female, and I bet she wears pantsuits a lot.
Paging Secretary-General Bill Clinton; please pick up the red courtesy phone...
..."who is like unto the beast?"
Uh, I think it's Bill Clinton or is it Hillary? (just a joke)
I think it could be a religion, Islam. It makes a lot of sense. It's origins go all the way back to Abraham's son Ishmael, so basically that line of humanity has been going down through the centuries with the line of Isaac and Jacob, or Israel.
"Who's the anti-Christ?"
Those who hate Christ and Christians, of course.
Since I believe in the pre-Tribulation rapture, I believe that the Anti-Christ will be revealed after born-again believers are taken out of the earth. He will be an extremely charismatic, captivating individual who will come to power on a peace platform. He negotiates a peace contract between Israel and the rest of the world that will ostensibly be for seven years but actually only lasts for three and a half years before the "kings of the north" march on Israel for the purpose of destroying her.
Since the prophetic clock began ticking when Israel became a nation, and the prophecies for the time just before the return of the true Christ are now occurring, I believe the Anti-Christ is alive and well and waiting to take his place on the world stage.
Logically,
THE ANTI-CHRIST MUST be alive given the closeness of the global government.
It is interesting that the reports of his moves behind the scenes seem to increase every year.
