I believe that Obama’s illegitimate presidency is a smoke screen for his master. Anti-Christ sets up a three nation power base, recreating the Holy Roman Empire and has ten allies (Horns) surrounding Israel. A U.S.A., Canada, & Mexico Commonwealth, does not meet the criteria. Obama antagonizes Israel, but Anti-Christ makes them allies, only to betray in the end. Israel will ultimately recognize Anti-Christ for who he really is (only a resurrected Adolf Hitler, not Nero fits prophecy) and will be hopelessly traumatized. It will take Christ’s return to ultimately save the remaining of the 144,000 “Old Covenant Jews”, who are still of His chosen people.
In the case of the Jews, it is not absolutely necessary for them to have accepted Christ, but to have lived their lives to the letter of the Old Covenant. Only 144,000, (evidence that living according to the “OC” and pleasing God is a very difficult endeavor), from the date of the Resurrection of Christ to the Day of the Lord will ultimately be saved.

I do take issue with that statement that the Jews following even the letter of the law without accepting Christ will be the assurance of their salvation. “Without Christ it is impossible to please God.” However, a more interesting conversation could be had concerning Messianic Jews who have currently accepted Yeshua as their savior.
