I believe it's much more than that.
You've heard it said that every generation thinks they're living in the end times?
Well, we're much closer now; I'm just waiting for the true anti-christ to show up; and no, it isn't Obama.
Spiritual consideration and end times attitude must needs be conjoined. I fear a lot of people see end times as something passive like the caboose on a train. Rather than as a second locomotive.
I am not so sure as you that Obama is not “THE” antichrist. I think that you and I certainly agree that he is an antichrist, but I think there is good reason to fear that he might indeed be.
Several sites on the internet say this guy may be the anti Christ.
