Maybe I’m misunderstanding you. But you pointed to specific groups i.e. homosexuals, feminists as being the ones to usher in the Anti-Christ. Of course they will be included but it’s an unfolding of prophecy.......no one segment is going to ‘usher’ him in. Unbelievers will ‘follow’ wholeheartedly. The persecution will be carried out by all non believers which of course will most likely include homosexuals, feminists but also includes neighbors, friends, relatives etc. It’s evil v/s good. What comprises the group of evil will be those who hate good and hate Christ. I’m no scholar but have studied the Bible (KJV) and that’s what the scriptures tell me.
My point is that it might be too early to tell.
Satan certainly has the guile to deceive even the Elect in some matters...just not as to the discernment of Good vs Evil OR the identity of Christ.
Additionally, I think it is dangerous arrogance and hubris (as Paul called it, boasting in the Spirit) to assume that because one is in the Blood (i.e. Elect) that his/her discernment is perfect at all times (we are still sinners and still make mistakes).
The only discernment that is perfect is that which is unmistakably received from the Holy Spirit and nearly everyone I know who is filled with the Holy Spirit is still unsure as to the ultimate identity of Obama vis-a-vis Satan.
It seems to me (from much prayer on this matter) that the Holy Spirit speaks clearly as to the evil of Obama's agenda...but his (Obama's) role in the Final Agenda of Evil has NOT YET been fully revealed to me or my Spirit-filled brothers and sisters.
