In the Abrahamic religions, the figure of the messiah is of importance. The the messiah is the one who brings salvation and liberation to a group of people. Listening to President Joe Biden’s speech marking 100 days in office, one wonders if this was speech delineating achievements and his administration legislative and policy agenda or a messianic speech proclaiming salvation and liberation for America, from the “evils” that have plagued our country for decades and from the Trump administration.
Biden went to a joint session of Congress to deliver a speech marking the first 100 days of his administration. In the speech, Biden proclaimed to the nation, “Tonight, I come to talk about crisis and opportunity. About rebuilding a nation, revitalizing our democracy and winning the future for America.” With these opening words, Biden began an encomium of the achievements of his administration in the past 100 days and his legislative agenda.
Biden pointed to the success of the policies adopted by his administration in response to the COVID pandemic. Policies which, he claims, have led to high numbers of vaccinations, the $1,400 checks to households, lower levels of COVID infections across the states, and the rebounding economy. Biden trumpeted these successes, despite most of them, in particular the vaccination levels, being achieved by the actions of the Trump administration.

Listening to President Joe Biden’s speech,
pisses me off to no end that these media types will give him the title of president
I had referred to Obama as “the Black messiah” because of how much he promised to African-Americans. What he actually delivered was a 16% unemployment rate for them. Obama was a motivational speaker who failed at governing, at least for the people who voted for him. Since Biden wasn’t actually elected, its difficult to call him a messiah. He is just a puppet and a pretender, and a senile one at that.
Was Biden’s speech the Constitutionally required State of the Nation event? I have not heard it called that?
An excellent and totally accurate observation!
I was disgusted by it.
Jesus himself tells us that many will come claiming to be the Messiah--in some cases even able to confuse the elect. So who is the actual fake Messiah?
Jesus defines him first as the "another" of John 5:43 when He addressed the Jews in Jerusalem says "I who come in my Father's name you reject; but another who comes in his own name, you will receive". In what capacity did the Jews reject Jesus? Messiah and Lord. So in what capacity will they receive the another--based on his claim that he and not Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
The Messianic claim requires that the Man of Sin be a Jew.
He is also seen in Daniel 7:8-7:25. Out of the Fourth World Empire of Daniel 7:8 (the Roman Empire) come ten nations. We can identify the location of those nations by reference to Daniel 9:26 where Daniel describes the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD by Titus as having occurred at the hand of the "people of the prince that shall come" who is generally identified as Anti Christ.
The King James translation using "people" is a little misleading because the underlying original is a Hebrew word which means "tribal or ethic group" so properly read, 9:26 should reference the prince (Anti Christ) coming from the tribal or ethnic group which made up Titus' army in 70 AD when it destroyed the city and the Temple.
All of the Roman historical sources such as Tacitus identify Titus' army as made up of "levies on the local kings"--all Assyrian ethics. Josephus gives specific descriptions of specific events in the destruction naming names and giving the history of the individual who in every single case are ethnics from Pontius and other areas of ancient Assyria incorporated in the Eastern Roman Empire.
Returning to Daniel 7: the Anti Christ "who made war with the saints and prevailed against them" in 7:21 emerges in 7:8. Ten nations come out of the Eastern Empire; "there came up among them another little horn" (7:8)who is described in 7:24 as arising from out of the 10 nations but which is "diverse" from them.
We are looking at the ten nations out of the Eastern Empire and see that there is another nation of people who are "diverse" from those nations but who are "among" them.
We suggest that eleventh nation is the Palestinians who are among the ten nations of the Eastern Empire but who are diverse from them in that the Palestinians have no national territory of their own and whose government is of the group of people rather than a geographical nation.
It seems to us that identification of the Man of San, Anti Christ, as an Assyrian ethic Jew coming from the Palestinians, is not unreasonable.
