Barack Obama sought to close the deal with American voters yesterday as he heralded the dawn of a new politics that will heal divisions, appeal to “our better angels” and restore a sense of “higher purpose”. His speech in Canton, Ohio, was designed to frame the final days of an often bitterly fought presidential contest around the uplifting themes he had emphasised at the outset of his campaign. While he was at pains to tell supporters that they cannot afford to “let up for one day, one minute or one second”, Mr Obama told an exultant crowd: “In one week, we can come together as one nation, and one people, and once more choose our better history.” He declared: “If you will stand with me, and fight with me, and give me your vote, then I promise you this – we will not just win Ohio, we will not just win this general election, but together we will change this country and we will change the world.” |

Who is doing the tossing into a lake of fire.... now what does Peter say is going to take place on the LORD's day... IIPeter 3:10-11
Yes Revelations says 'two' beasts 'religious' and political' arise from the sea and the earth.... and Revelation 12:12 says Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. WOE to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the *DEVIL* is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time" This quotation begins in Revelation 12:10 and this instead of Jesus is called the accuser .
Now, the Antichrist will certainly run a world-wide Babylon, if you will, his gov’t. And all the horror that comes with it.
What did Paul tells us this war was going to be about???? He said in Ephesians 6 it was not a war of flesh and blood... Paul told us what is required to win and nothing is there regarding a flesh and blood war.
Christ said that all *but* the elect would be deceived and for their sake time was shortened. This time period is also likened to a woman in travail and once labor starts it moves rather quickly. The word Babylon means confusion ...
Who is Paul describing in Romans 11: whole chapter?
The Beast *and* the False Prophet are **tormented forever** in the lake of fire. And then the Devil. These are three beings. Of course we may have to agree to disagree. :)
If this torment is to last forever then why will their existence be removed from the minds of the over-comers. Does not sound like a healthy place to spend eternity if those that overcome are reminded continuously of what was.

I am guessing you are quoting Matthew 24:40..... Who is doing the taking? Now if this taking is a good thing then why would Christ say to (42) 'watch' therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come... (43) But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an *hour* as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Where is the one taken to? Who is doing the taking? So much is given here .... we have a measurement of time... *hour*, we are told the conditions that allow a thief to come in and take.... Christ not one time here hints, suggest that anybody is going anywhere (unless their flesh dies) before the LORD's day.
Ok you have a good day.
If McCain isn't saying much the same thing about not giving up then he's a damned fool.
Keep cool.
Stay prepared.
Go vote.
Deal with whatever happens.
Mware, I've noticed too that something has changed in his eyes over the last 6 weeks or so and it isn't exhaustion either. There is a void there...very, very eerie.
“Let no one deceive you by any means, for that Day will not come unless the falling away(”apostasia” Greek, “apostasy” English) comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
The Antichrist is part of Satan's trinity of evil. Satan always tries to mimic the Lord and mock His truths. Therefore, he uses a counterfeit to deceive the world.
