You far overestimate Zero.
You are only about a year off in your warnings. Back off from the keyboard and put the bong down for a while. FR has been full of what you are saying for over a year.
>The second seal opens and Obama rides upon his red horse. Revelation 6:1-2
“And the red horse had arms like the pillars of Babylon, the tongue of a serpent, that horse was named Meeshell..”

He’s not the antichrist, just an enterprising Marxist.
That being said, I don't believe we are in the tribulation just yet, or that Obama is the Antichrist. The real Antichrist will not need a teleprompter, much less a fleet of them. And his popularity will not have a sinking popularity from day one. But I do believe things are moving way too fast not to see that something really BIG has been set in motion during this last year. I sincerely believe the Worlds times clock is winding down to midnight.
As a young Christian in the 1970s I got caught up on reading all of those end-times books in the Bible Book stores. The book captivating me the most, being Hal Lindseys book The late great Planet Earth. The books were fascinating at the time, I could hardly put them down - but the predictions even with the Biblical reference also seemed a little far fetched at the time. Yea, it could all happen, but it would take a hundred years or more in the future, I thought.
CASHLESS SOCIETY?
Those end-time book writers said we would someday be able to purchase about anything with the swipe of the card, even a telephone call, the vending machine and a parking lot? A stretch in the 1970s, but now I hardly ever carry cash or coin anymore. Other that the coffee kitty at work I can go weeks without coin or paper money. To be completely cut off from it would be no big deal. As long as the card scanner worked. Oh and did I mention you could use the card all over the World? How possible was that in 1972? Now we are having China, the EU, and others saying we need to move to a global currency, and now for the first time ever we are listening. Which brings me to the next topic.
ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT?
We have come along way on this one since Hal Lindseys book, havent we? Hard to visualize in the 1970s. Now, its something even the main stream media is picking up on. We can now communicate at the speed of light anywhere we want because of the World Wide Web and satellite communication. We can and are letting the Worlds economy, or our nations dept to other nations, and environmental treaties push us in that direction of a one World Government.
ONE WORLD LEADER / ANTICHRIST?
In 1972 It was a great mystery how one man could enter the World stage and become so popular in such a short amount of time, and how this popularity will cross borders. After all he will only have 3 1/2 years to position himself for the abomination of desecration. Not saying Obama is the One, but with Obama coming out of nowhere in just a few months to become almost a Godhead to hundreds of millions of his Koolaid drinking followers all over the World. I can say now, that this mystery has been solved. If he is not the One, the real antichrist is waiting just off stage, and Obama is preparing the world to accept One leader.
THE NEW TEMPLE
Now this should really give us who believe in the End-Times prophecies in the Bible something to contemplate. There has been talk about rebuilding the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem For the Abomination of Desolation to happen, the Temple would have to be rebuilt, right? Well there is serious talk of it now. News story from 5/26/09 Raad Salah: Netanyahu will Try to Rebuild the Jewish Temple
Religious KOOK Alert!
Revelation 6:1-2 mentions a white horse, and no Obama.

You know if you are wrong this is truth. Read and heed:
Deuteronomy 18:15-18
15 The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet* like me from among your own people; you shall heed such a prophet.* 16This is what you requested of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said: If I hear the voice of the Lord my God any more, or ever again see this great fire, I will die. 17Then the Lord replied to me: They are right in what they have said. 18I will raise up for them a prophet* like you from among their own people; I will put my words in the mouth of the prophet,* who shall speak to them everything that I command. 19Anyone who does not heed the words that the prophet* shall speak in my name, I myself will hold accountable. 20But any prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, or who presumes to speak in my name a word that I have not commanded the prophet to speakthat prophet shall die. 21You may say to yourself, How can we recognize a word that the Lord has not spoken? 22If a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord but the thing does not take place or prove true, it is a word that the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; do not be frightened by it.
I agree with your observations. I’m not even close to 100% certain or can I even begin to estimate odds. I can say I haven’t seen anything that would lead me to believe otherwise.
Time for your “rapture”. You’ll just have to leave the rest of us to sort it out.
