The debates about what the prophetic "Antichrist" symbolism might mean are certainly quite interesting. The list of characters is a Who's Who of villains from world history. Islam, Russian Communism, and the Nazis are all in that territory.

What makes liberal secular humanism an Antichrist type ideology now is its adherents' obsessions with redesigning humanity through cloning and the genocidal embryonic stem cell bio-technologies. Mass slaughter of human beings, of any kind, places one demonically in the Antichrist ballpark, but if the prophetic concept is that the Antichrist is one particular historic personality, exuding demonic unwholesomeness combined with totalitarian dictatorial power on a global scale and Luciferian supernatural sorcery, that does not seem to have happened quite yet in that precise Satanic manifestation. Granted, there have been some close seconds and honorable mentions. But merely being immoral, like Clinton, or rejecting Christian teachings on life, like Kerry, did not quite make them "the Antichrist," as enthusiastically as they might have campaigned for the job. At any rate, close to 49% of the American public appear ready to welcome such a leader at any particular time. That's enough of a "preliminary" foreshadowing for people of good will to be concerned about.

No, Clinton wasn't the Antichrist.

But his wife, well, that's a whole other story.........
