If the Man of SIN was Nero-666 then we have the Son of Perdition to be revealed

I think this is were you are mistaken. Nero was a type of Antichrist, just like Antiocchus, and "anyone who denies the Father and the Son" (1 John 2:22). There will be one Antichrist, not a type of, but the real thing, and he is known as both the Man of Sin and the Man of Perdition (aka the Beast of the Sea, the Little Horn...). As for your question, do I think Barak Obama is the Antichrist? No, I don't, mainly because the church has not been raptured yet but also because he does not fit the description (except maybe coming to power by mass deception, but you could say the same about Hitler). He will advance the One World Government that the Antichrist will rule. What I do think, however, is that Obama is a type of Antichrist, maybe the last one before the real thing. We don't know the day or the hour when our Lord is coming, but we can surely watch the signs. And all signs seem to point at a time not too far in the future. That's why I daily pray "Come soon Lord Jesus".

Better look to the East, my FRiends. The Kingdom of The Beast is rising.

The great danger is that the relatively recent (in the last 150 years) rise of the "Roman" paradigm for the Antichrist Kingdom effaces centuries of prior tradition that understood his kingdom to be centered in the same geographic region as the ancient foes of Israel: Babylon, Assyria, Persia.

This shift in thought substantively endangers Western Christians, because the tendency has become that people are so tightly bound to their Romanized ideas of how apocalyptic events will shake out that, if/when those events happen differently, they could easily fall into deception as to the forces behind them; being lovers of their own views more that lovers of Truth.

Never forget that a primary operating principle of God had been to offend the mind so as to reveal the heart. Jesus did it to the Pharisees continually, and to very great effect. This continues to be a method of His work among men.

I do not assert a certainty as to when/how/where apocalyptic events will transpire, but I urgently implore that all who seek to study these things do so ONLY in the context of these crucial elements:
— abject humility before God — continual prayer
— intentional fasting
— an unflinching love of Truth (cf. II Thess. 2:10)

The hours IS late, and the matter IS important; it is insufficient that it be relegated to a few 'prophecy nuts' sequestered in some church anteroom every other Thursday night.

Understand that, if St. Paul thought eschatology critical enough to teach the whole of it during his brief stint at Thessaloniki, then it is central enough that every Christian had better take it seriously as a front-burner topic of study and discussion.

Well, Jews, Muslims and “Christians” love him and the world does wonder after him.

Your call.

[maybe his birth certificate just has a cloven hoof print instead of a human father’s signature]

All I know for sure is that this being is pure EVIL and not ~at all~ what he “seems” to those who lack discernment.

[Just mythoughts]

Are the Man of Sin and the Son of Perdition 2 totally different people?

NO and NO. Who was the first sinner? Saul Alinsky's book was dedicated to him. And it is not a person in the flesh sense. Who tempted Christ and what did he offer Christ.... Isaiah 14: 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!.....

And Ezekiel 28:12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, 'Thus saith the Lord GOD;

Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty....

(Not quite the image of horns, a pitch fork, and dragging a tail in red undies.)

13 Thou has been in Eden the garden of God: every precious stone was they covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, ....

14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou was upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou was created,

till iniquity was found in the.

...... The only named entity in the whole WORD that has been sentenced to 'death'

18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick;

therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee,

and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

[Ezekiel]

Someone once accused me of being a son of perdition here on FR. I don’t think I am, but just in case I thought I should divulge that.
