There are Christians who are absolutely
convinced that President Obama is the Antichrist. I am not one of them. Although I have never given this theory any
serious consideration, I have decided to take another look at this issue. I will try to approach the subject with an
open mind and see whether my personal feelings on the issue were blinding me to
the truth, or whether I was correct in my convictions. I'm going to delve into this and learn along with you. Here we go.
Where
did Barack Obama come from?
The Antichrist will supposedly come from a
country that was part of the Greek Empire of Alexander the Great. Gabriel
states that following the death of Alexander, the empire will be divided into
four parts. From one of those four parts, the Antichrist will arise:
“And
the shaggy goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn between his eyes is
the first king. 22And as for that being broken, and four stood up in its
place; four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in its power. 23And
in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the
full, a king, fierce of face, and skilled at intrigues, shall stand up. 24And his power shall be mighty,
but not by his own power. And
he shall destroy marvelously, and shall prosper and work, and destroy the
mighty and the holy people.” (Dan
8:21-24 MKJV)
“And
they worshiped the dragon who gave
authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is
like the beast? Who is able to make war with it?” (Rev 13:4 MKJV)
Most say that Obama was born in Hawaii, but
some remain steadfast claiming that he was born in Kenya. We know that Hawaii wasn’t part of the Greek
Empire, but was Kenya? No, it wasn’t. Neither was it a part of the Roman Empire.
Antichrist’s birthplace: X
Is
Obama a peaceful conqueror?
The Antichrist will show up on the scene as
a peacemaker. The first seal shows him
appearing on the scene riding a white horse and with a bow in his hand. He comes to conquer the world by peaceful
means, hence no arrows.
“And
I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard one of the four living
creatures like a sound of thunder, saying, Come and see. 2And I saw. And behold a white horse! And he sitting on
it had a bow. And a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering and to
conquer.” (Rev. 6:1-2 MKJV)
Although Obama campaigned on a platform of
hope and change and even though he received the Nobel Peace Prize, he hasn't
made it a priority to conquer through peaceful measures. He’s done exactly the opposite. We are involved militarily in more countries
than ever before and the use of armed drones has multiplied under Obama’s
watch. This is a man with a quiver
filled with arrows who conquered through military might and not through peaceful
actions.
Obama the peacemaker: X
The
Mahdi has arrived… or is that the Messiah?
The Antichrist would have to deceive many
into believing that he is a representation of all religions. He would have to deceive many into believing
that all the religions of the world were just a part of a larger fabric of who
God is. He would need to be charismatic
and energetic, handsome and trustworthy, humble yet strong in character. He must be someone who both Jewish and Muslim
alike will accept as the fulfillment of their faith’s prophecies.
The Jewish nation is looking for a man sent
by God to be king of Israel, ushering in peace forever. The Muslim nations are looking for their
Mahdi who will come and rule the world through Islam. This charismatic man will not only deceive
those who believe in the Messiah and the Mahdi, but he will also deceive those
of other religions as well into believing that he is the manifestation of their
god’s promise of peace on earth.
I have a theory. If the Antichrist is going to lead both the
Jewish and Muslim crowd, he would need to come from both cultures. I believe that the Antichrist will be both
Jewish and Muslim (Jewish from his mother’s side, which by tradition would make
him a Jew; Muslim from his father’s side, which by tradition would make him a
Muslim).
And where would Christianity fit into all
of this? If the bride of Christ has been
raptured by this point, many of those remaining “christians” would be deceived
into believing that this was the return of Jesus (especially if the pope was
the false prophet). With everything Christians
and Muslims know about Obama, do we honestly believe that the majority of the
world would consider him the incarnation of the Messiah/Mahdi? Not likely.
He’ll be seen as the Messiah/Mahdi: X
Antichrist revealed!
That’s kind of a misleading headline. Actually, we can’t be certain of who the Antichrist is until the signing of the peace agreement between Israel and her enemies. Only then can we be positive.
Example: Many Christians believed that one of two individuals would be elected as pope because they had the name “Peter” in their name (Tarcisio Pietro Evasio Bertone and Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson). This is in regard to the Malachy prophecy about the 112th pope who would be known as Petrus Romanus. I even saw a YouTube video where an individual said he had a dream and that he was led by God to believe that Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson would become the new pope. He was so convinced of this that he made a video and put it out on YouTube. Needless to say, he was utterly confused when the election didn't pan out the way he thought it would.
So, what happened? A cardinal that came out of nowhere (as far as the rest of the world was concerned) was elected to the position. Although he came in second to Pope Benedict in the last conclave, there was no expectation that he would be considered this time around because of his age. Here, Christians were looking for a clear indication that Petrus Romanus had been elected. Clearly, they didn’t get what they had expected.
Looking at that example, the same can probably be said about the Antichrist. We can point our fingers at individuals who exhibit anti-Christ like behavior, but until the peace treaty is signed, we can’t be sure WHO the Antichrist is. After all, the Antichrist won’t arrive on the scene in such a way that people will call him “Antichrist.” No. He will arrive on the scene in such a way that people will call him their “savior.” Whatever happens, I don’t believe that the Antichrist will be identified until he comes from behind the scenes of peace negotiations and is found to have brokered a peace between Israel and her enemies.
Answer this next question truthfully. Is it possible that Obama is NOT the Antichrist and that his anti-Christ like behavior is being used by the enemy to divert our attention away from someone else rising to power in some European nation? Here’s another question. Do you honestly think that the Antichrist would appear in such a way that it would be easy to identify him?
Antichrist revealed: X
The Bottom Line
We can play with his name (Baraq “o” bama = Lightning from high places), we can talk about attributes he has (attributes that will only be exhibited by the Antichrist during the “Great Tribulation” period and not at this point in history), we can talk about his false Christianity and his Muslim background, but we’re just being lead around by the nose when we focus on those things. Those are the shiny baubles being presented by the enemy that are meant to divert our attention. The truth lies much deeper.
We need to stop trying to fit Obama into biblical prophecy concerning the Antichrist and allow prophecy to point us in the right direction. Prophecy is our compass and it points to the one who will deceive the nations.

There are some Christians who believe that
they have an “in” with God and they are among the few who know who the
Antichrist really is. To those who think
that way, I must humbly rebuke you. You
are allowing yourselves to be deceived by the enemy and you are deceiving
others with your videos and blogs. I ask you to repent!
Take the time to think things through instead of trying to find a way to pin biblical prophecy on to anything that remotely looks appealing. I've seen biblical prophecy twisted to the point where it's being used to validate an idea that has nothing to do with the scripture being used. Stop it!

Great post! On another website, I had brought up the idea of the anti-christ being of Jewish descent because I thought what better way to fool all of the Jews than being someone from their bloodline. However, I was told no, that's not possible because the anti-christ will be of Roman descent. Isn't it possible to be both?
ReplyDeleteI must apologize for taking YEARS to respond to your comment. I just found it. That being said, your question is a difficult one to answer. That's why I believe that it will be difficult to pinpoint who the Antichrist is. One reason I believe in a pre-Tribulation rapture is because if born again believers were alive on earth at the time the Antichrist rises, we would shine a light on who he truly was. He's going to come and deceive the world, and the only ones who will know who he is are the new born again believers, which by then, will be on the Antichrist's hit list. They'll be the scourge of the earth and their numbers will not be as large as they are right now. So to try to figure out where he actually would come from would be, in my opinion, futile, because if we knew where to look, we'd be able to discover who he was, and God has already told us that he would only be revealed after the rapture.
DeleteI am interested in the picture posted - and what is the symbol behind him. Specifically the blue circle with red lines behind him. Thank you in advance for information on this.
ReplyDeleteThat was the symbol for his campaign when he was running for office.
