More interesting food for thought, and things to watch for (in my current "watch and wait" mode). Now, if there's truth to this, we may be spared temporarily, for it is *ALSO* prophesied about "the man of sin", that he will be "denied a crown", BEFORE he comes to world power. Now, the question begs, "what 'crown' is referenced here?" Possibly the Presidency? And *after* he believed he had already secured it (ie, gotten elected?)
I had, originally when this question first popped up, dismissed the possibility that Obama himself could be "the man of sin", but pointed out that it was readily apparent that the machinery for the rise of such was certainly in good working order. I may well have miscalculated. As more evidence comes to light, it truly appears that I may have, indeed, miscalculated.
What does this mean? In the larger sense of what I'm doing, very little, no need to shift priorities, and continue watching, waiting, and attempting to discern...

I just wanted to issue a big thank you to all who responded to my post on this thread. You responded with grace and scripture, better than I deserved (if you knew my past). I am in deep gratitude and know that I am walking in good company. I respect you all more than you realize.
Perhaps the presidency is not quite World Power and there is an expanded future role for the plastic messiah.
