I’d like to hear some FReeper opinions on this man Obama as “the man of lawlessness” or a type of that. I heard Robert Jeffress liken Obama’s swooping in on a cloud of false worship to what Antichrist would be “like”, but he would not say that Obama WAS Antichrist.
Since Obama could well be from the Middle East, might he reappear on the world stage through the U.N. as a coronated Sec. General? I definitely can envision the evil lurking behind that fake persona, seeing it reveal at some point...perhaps when the Restrainer is taken out of the way?
Every approach to prophesy has to be a personal one, and knowing a teacher is fallible is part of the understanding.
I think there have already been Antichrists, satanic haters of humanity. Whether there will be "The" Antichrist, I do not have a clue, nor do I believe there will be any "one" actor at the end. There are several characters…the False Prophet, the Man of Lawlessness, the Man of "Peace", and finally the Great Whore, the Beast, the Dragon and a few many-headed monsters. Some lump these all into one, and the Great Whore is supposedly a metaphor.
I'm inclined to take things literally unless I have a good reason not to. There sure are a lot of wh*res around. Look at the woman at the head of the IMF, the Federal Reserve. Who would have thought the heads of all these global banks would be women? Revelation mentions great merchants and nations of wealth.
And I catch things like a shadow in my peripheral vision, and I feel a sense of coldness like someone walking over my grave. Particularly I remember the Democrat convention in 2012 when the audience shouted a rejection of God, and of Israel, *three* times. Go back and watch it. Three times. Pride parades, probably more obscene than anything in Sodom, have roped in the Boy Scouts.
