Though I admit in the case of Obama, verse 19 probably does not apply.
Kyrie Eleison!
Do you know something about the midterm elections we don't?
I agree with you that Obama is not the Antichrist. I like to give the AC a little more credit than that. I also agree that whether or not Obama realizes it, he is an excellent precursor to what the Man of Perdition will be. Personally, I see no reason to believe that any election in 2012 will play any significance. All of the pieces of the prophetic puzzle are coming in to place. I am now awaiting the strike on Israel predicted in Ezekiel 38-39 which will set in motion the beginning, or close to, of the Great Tribulation.
BTW, I love the comparison of this election to that of Israel choosing Saul. I was going to comment on it earlier but neglected to.
“They will fail and set the stage for another 12 years of Republican governing which very well may be the end of the age. Then the Lord returns.”
Wasn’t it a backlash against a very liberal government that brought Hitler to power?
When I was young, I did not want Jesus Christ returning on my watch. The older I get, the more I wish He'd come back and tell the whole family that He's got a place prepared for us in His father's house, and we don't need to pack a thing.
Europe? I didn't know that. Do you know the reference on that?
The anti-christ is on this earth right now, but it is not BHO. It will be someone who by the time they get a lot of power it will be too late, They are in science and have their hands in many other areas. BHO isn’t a science man. Although I am sure he is part of the big picture in someway. How do I know these wierd things? I have my secrets—LOL.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED:
“When the fairies are displeased with anybody, they are said to send their elves to pinch them. The ecclesiastics, when they are displeased with any civil state, make also their elves, that is, superstitious, enchanted subjects, to pinch their princes, by preaching sedition; or one prince, enchanted with promises, to pinch another.”
(Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan 1651)
