Ezekiel 38:
Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog (Magogites called by Greeks: Sythians; Russia and surounding territories), the chief prince of Meshech (Msocow) and Tubal (Tobolsk), and prophesy against him (Putin), And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, (IRAN) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer (ancient Gaul), and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (modern Turkey) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
I would recommend Joel C. Rosenberg's books over the Leave Your Behind books anyday. They have a way of coming to pass. Check them out at http://www.joelrosenberg.com/

That’s a good way to state it. dress rehearsal
our sunday school teacher’s wife thinks there have been antichrists available on “standby” in every generation - they just haven’t been given the “go” sign yet. timing is everything.
i think she’s right...
What should be sobering to the discerning, is the idea that it may well be "the final dress rehearsal", which is done on the afternoon of "opening night"...

No indication that he is really an American either.
How about after he gets his hands on the football?
I once had a conversation with a Baptist minister...who’d been around his profession for twenty years...and I simply asked why Baptist ministers were shy on the book of Revelations. He admitted that it was one of those things that the seminary school had often suggested. Its not a positive book...it scares most folks...and its can be read a thousand different ways...which most books in the Bible aren’t written in that fashion. If he had the ability to pull any book out of the Bible...it would be Revelations. I thought it was an interesting conversation.
Only thing it says the antichrist will rise to power suddenly. Pooty-poot has been in power for some time now. Besides hes about as charasmatic as a bucket of cement.
He’ll fumble it, the real antichrist won’t.
Revelation is actually a very exciting book. It does not stand alone but, rather, brings together many themes from other places in the bible, both new and old testament. Even if you remove it you still have Daniel, Ezekiel and a host of other places equally troubling. If anything, it has the unique “new testament-esque” quality of clarifying the prophesies on these books. In other words, it does not add confusion, it actually reduces it.
Regarding the Left Behind stuff: Considering that most of my Christian life I was Assembly of God and yet a strong Mid tribulationist, I am not particularly popular in my beliefs about this book series or the “tribulation period”.
I beleive that the book of Daniel actuallhas more to say about this than Revelation does.
I think that is describing Rome and the Vatican.
That statue looks like a black Joe Friday trying to look like Jesus.
Yes , he does look like Joe Friday, but when a person is iconized their real features become institutionalized and this is the next step of Obama's messianization.
I really love the plug in neon halo.
Al Gore needs one too.
Nah. Obama will never take Tennessee. I think the last poll I saw he had like 27%.
Absolutely correct. But to those who walk in the light, it won't be a surprise, according to Paul.
