I am not a theologian, nor do I pretend to be anything but a simple man. Jesus however, plainly warned us that many would come along and say that they were Christ and what would occur because of that. Here is an example from the Bible, located in Matthew chapter 24:
"4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake."
I am simply raising a question that I can give no answer. In a day when it has become increasingly more popular and acceptable to bash and to openly hate Christians: Is America facing a time of God’s judgment?
Since GOD is the only one that knows when CHRIST will return, Satan has to be ready. Satan therefore has been producing evil beings like Hitler and 0bama who can be transformed into the AntiCHRIST. I'm not sure if this fits the scriptures, but sounds very logical.
One more thought: Hitler is responsible for the deaths of at least 20 million people, maybe more. 0bama, particularly since he is using OUR money to finance abortions abroad, could very well be responsible for many more.
Progressing from Messiah to Pariah, and from “The One” to “The One-Termer”.
I absolutely agree. He isn’t the antichrist, but he has definitely proved that the world is gullible enough for the antichrist to take power. I was and still am amazed at the thoughtless, zombie-like trance that Obama’s followers exhibit.
I’d say America is currently experiencing the absence of God. There will be no question about whether or not we are experiencing God’s judgement when He decides to deliver it.
Not just BO but everyone who has ever pulled a lever for any anti-life candidate has blood on their hands. Satan has come to kill/rob/destroy - aligns right w/abortion. And to think he would not be in office if Christians hadn’t voted for him! Yep, we are reaping what has been sown for years!
They cry freedom - what God has given us in this great nation - and they, themselves, deny it (in actions) to the unborn.
You’re both spot-on. Amen.
I wish I were as confident about a pretrib rapture as you are.
Here’s a friendly suggestion: Let’s make sure we’re ready for the rapture and the tribulation both. That’s a win-win no matter who’s right.
(Ephesian 6:10-12; 1 Cor. 2:12-14 ). The lost world is woefully blind and unaware that there is a spiritual battle between God and the forces of darkness for our very souls. Jesus Christ stated that Satan, "was a murderer from the beginning" and that he is the "father of lies".
(John 8:44 ). The scriptures state that Satan seeks to blind the lost from the soul saving gospel of Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 4:3-4 ) and that even after God implants the seed of the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ in the human heart, Satan attempts to snatch it away before one comes to saving faith (Luke 8 ).
Right. Anyone who is against Christ, is considered anti-Christ. When he had the cross covered before he gave a speech at Georgetown is proof of his anti-Christ stance. His belief and telling the world, USA is not a Christian nation is another.
Whether he will be the leader of the one world gov’t and “The” anti-Christ for the world or he’s just paving the way for America to be lead to the submission of the one world gov’t doesn’t matter - same result.
Nah, it’s already been proven false. Jesus Christ was a carpenter, and Obama can’t even build a cabinet without it falling apart...
Yes, we are being punished but not for Obama, by Obama, we failed to uphold the word of the Lord long ago, and only because of that could Obama come into power, I would say all the Lord needs to do is leave us to our own devices, we’ll destroy ourselves by the very nature of abandoning Him.
RIGHT ON!! Good post. We will not know who the leader of the one world gov’t will be but we certainly got a view of how people will be deceived!
1x2x0x2x0x0x9=0, not 36.
BTW, 36x37/2=666, not 216 (the sum of the numbers 1 through N is Nx(N+1)/2).
What were the lottery numbers in any of the other 56 states that have three digit picks on that day?
What was his zip code in any of the other places he lived?
Why are we adding up numbers in some cases, multiplying them in others, and taking the cube root in others?
And finally, would you happen to have proof he was born on the 216th day of the year?
As I said, I am grumpy today.
